After the update fossilize sometimes won't even work, the skill is greyed out even when you're within 8 meters, I wish you guys would of just left this skill alone, it's frustrating when the skill doesn't work when I'm right in the face of my enemy.

    It is! due to the update because the skill worked just fine and never greyed out, it only works when it feels like it.

    Pretty much this. This is the reason why forums are filled with nerf/whine threads - everyone wants to write but nobody wants to read.

    I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.

    No need to compare. The skill was nerfed by no reason (some weird justification from the development team) and now is half useful it used to be
    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    i agree that this skill does not work sometimes, I was in a duel tournament in my guild and another magdk and I were dueling, fossilize would NOT work on him, after the tournament me and a few other people that were magDK's tested it out, for some reason 2 out of the 3 of us could NOT fossilize him ( he was NOT using immovable pots nor did he have gear that gave him CC immunity ) only 1 of my friends was able to use fossilize against him

    cc imunity is not from gear

    its a dimishing return. for example if u brake the sphere of a templar u gain cc imunity for a period of time.

    i didnt test it myself but i admit it works as intended, same with the new sorc stun.

    Agreed. The skill is greyed out for me more often than not, and I have a reasonable confidence that not all these people are cc immune. Most likely it's buggy zos code.

    there was NO cc done to said person during the tests, SO fossilize does not work sometimes
    ... Ive been playing mag dk for over a year now and this is the first time ive encountered this bug for the skill, i know that there is a cool down on cc

    It was nerfed for a valid reason but because you don't agree, it's not valid. Lmao.

    Lel no it wasn't. Fear and rune is this but stronger. Magdk has no functioning counter against ranged since wings/chains are bugged af.

    I'm not gonna say fear isn't really good but to compare fossilize to it is kinda funny. Fossilize has two CCs the hard stun cc you need to break, then the soft root cc you need to break. And most good dueling magdk follow it up with talons yet another cc. There goes all your stam as a mag player or you just sit in there spaming shields until you can get your own cc and recover.

    And as far as wings being bugged I'm not sure about that, my buddy uses then in duels and has never said a thing

    Chain in the other hand always seems bugged like crit rush and shadow image. They can't ever get those right for long

    But it wasn't Foss the one that get the treatment, it was Petrify, which is the base skill.

    Now explain me, why Shattering Rocks did receive that nerf? It doesn't apply a soft CC, so why did they decrease its range too?

    Kind of a strawman argument... but I would guess because zos is incompetent and couldn't change the range of the OP morph that does give 2 CCs so the other skill just has to suffer

    Listen some of you guys come on people's thread trying to tell someone the skill is "working as intended" or I haven't experienced these issues, it's absolutely annoying. If someone writes a thread stating they're having problems THEN THEY ARE! Don't assume everything works for all. And this whole reading B.S. crame it, why have a skill that greys out when facing your enemy and doesn't work? I haven't played any other toon that faces that!

    Foss's secondary cc is a root, is the same as talons, its not "another CC." (also assuming no FM/shuffle) So running foss is near useless now. Prior the root was useful since it was 15m, unlike 6m talons. Fear, by design also has a marginally longer time since you can't break it until the running animation, it affects 2 targets, and maims. (Talons morph maims, but the dot is too good to sacrifice.)

    Wings takes status effects from things like snipe/flare (defile) or the dot from clench. There was also a thread recently about it not refreshing on recast.

    Fossilize is one of the best skill magdk have. Duel any decent magdk and they use it. And I never said is was 2 stuns I said 2 CCs it's a hard cc, the stun, then a soft CC, the roots. CC stans for crowd control which roots fall into that. Let's not turn into to those people that say "gee gee" because they don't know what it means
