Some thoughts about magSorc before next week's class balance patch ( PVE side)

First thing first, the official thread for sorc feedback is full of pvpers and no one discuss about sorcs' life under endgame trials situation. That's why I'm posting anohter thread.
The Magician's removal about a year ago hit sorc very hard, and for now most sorcs can't fully recover from this.The longer the battle is, like vAS hm and the incoming Cloudrest hm, the more obvious the problem of sustain issue is. I DO know that's basically everyone's issue but, mDKs got their new passive, magplars have channeled focus and mNB use siphon. For mSorcs, dark deal and Rebate. Yeah a channel skill costs my stam which is completely a dps loss while using it( I'd rather do HA) and a passive, which will takes effect when my pets die, meaning I have to resummon them AGAIN, and still lose my magicka.
My suggestion is some rework about the Unholy knowledge, 5% cost reduction isn't quite enough now. Give it a small chance, for example 5% or 6% to negate a skill cost, like the Magnus Gift set does. It doesn't directly give resource back but this is really gonna help sustain in some long fights. Besides I can't think of any situation that this will change the sorc's pvp playstyle. And if it's overpeforming, add a cooldown. That's nvr gonna happen I guess.
The next thing I wanna talk about is Cfrag and shards. Nowadays this skill is still in my skill bar is becaus I don't have a better option instead of it's still powerful like it used to.When the first time I heard about the removal of stun, I was hoping that the proc extra damage is getting back. But it ended up nothing. NOTHING. I know buffing this skill is quite a controversial issue and I'm really tired of argueing with ppl that get killed by this skill in Cyro or reading their posts(those #NerfSorc days huh?). I think a lot when typing this, but let's just start with CFrags apply minor breach to its target for about 7-10s and see how things go.
And pls zos, if you really want to buf sorcs, hit the points and let us know you're trying. And I really don't like the "play those sorcs cool" treatments. Patch after patch, sorc's dps and sustain issue are never getting solved and not even closer. That's really frustrating and disappointing, making basically everyone I know leaving this class.
SAVE SORC BEFORE IT TRULY BECOME A DEAD CLASS PLS, ZOS

✭✭✭✭✭Are you suggesting to replace the cost reduction with a chance for a free skill? Or to have both?
I would never take RNG over a constant known reduction. It's like comparing Seducer vs Magnus, Seducer is much better for the 5pc.
If you are saying both effects this could be nice, but I'd rather see the 5% cost reduction increased to 6-8%. Good luck finding support for buffing sorcs though, most people still think they are overpowered from the Homestead era.0
