Rune cage fix

RighteousBacon

My modest proposal to fixing this skill is simple: make rune cage deal oblivion damage at the end of the duration. I really feel like this adjustment to the skill will improve the game’s BALANCE and make it more competitive by convincing everyone that they should make a mag sorc.

Once everyone in pvp is a mag sorc running Sloads and spamming meteor - rune cage combo (with oblivion damage), then the game will be balanced.

why spam meteor when we could change rune cage to an ultimate that siphons health, gives major mending, deals oblivion damage DD and DOT after the DD... make it an AOE stun instead of a single target, then put an automatic concussed status effect on it?

What if rune cage didn’t just activate when you attack a sorc, but when you looked at one? And also, if you get rune caged you should get a @zos_wrobel special - they proc haunting curse on you, and they get a shield for 200% of any damage done to you. Plus they get a master writ quest.

Yes and fix roots, and magica reflects, and all those nasty proc sets

Also remove cc-immunity so you can spam it!

ak_pvp

Lower the cost too, should be about 1k mag, since it doesn't even have a root like fossilize.

It should just deal 100% of current health, ez fix.

I think what is most needed to balance the skill is more charges.

Shimmering shield has three charges, wings even four, dks even get two empower charges at the same time.

To be balanced, rune cage should have 10 charges. Per target.

This sounds like some real ZoS logic. My personal opinion is they should double the damage on rune cage to make up for the fact that it doesn't have a root like fossilize

Why you need a root when most people die on the break free?

It should do Oblivion and damage and automatically apply mage's fury to save a bar slot because Mag sorcs have the hardest time fitting so many good abilities on bars and it's not fair.

Man look at us! We are the future of BALANCE in this game. We’re almost as good at it as ZOS is!

Keep it up!

No you can't. If your target is cc-immune, it simply will not cast.

Koolio

It should proc Vicious Death everytime you use it.

Around you and the enemy.

rimmidimdim

See good ideas in here. Can zos put a change class in crown store plz lol. Cheers.

Why not just put serverwipe skill?

Waylander

This post is ridiculous!

















You are totally overlooking the fact that you are immune to rune cage when riding a horse. Why can't I kill you and your god damned pony??

WuffyCerulei

No, Rune Cage will immediately cast mage's fury and proc inplosion if you're under the health threshold.

The days of people alt-f4ing the game because a sorc caught them in prison while riding. Oh, the rage whipers...

Dojohoda

It'd be peachy if when sorc shields are applied, every enemy in PvP gets rune caged, even their mounts and siege weapons. If you try to break free, your armor goes to your inventory and you are double rune caged in your undies.

Stibbons

Rune cage should explode twice like haunting curse and oblivion damage. Stun could be 2 seconds longer.

Or take away the damage all together and make it just a stun, or give back stuns to frags

SippingPotions

My vote is for giving Rune cage a fast ticking dot that reliably procs Sloads and Skoria on cooldown. Also 5 secs isn't long enough for a burst combo so the stun should be at least 9 secs.

I am pretty sure CC immunity is removed. Lulz. I get double and triple stunned all the time now.

Ender1310

I think Rune Cage should apply vicious death without having to wear vicious death. It should also proc VD every 6 seconds without requiring an actual death.

Vesper_BR

Lol... This is the best post ever...

And heal you for 100% of dmg while giving you the dead players earned AP lol.

rfennell_ESO

Obviously Sorcs will only be happy if rune cage automatically procced mage fury, implosion, all status effects and then send a message to the target saying "lol pwned by skill" which would then log you out, delete your character and display the message "l2p nub".

ChunkyCat

Twenty percent less damage.

Are you not entertained?!
