Make Shattering rocks relevant again

Yeah the skill "Shattering rocks" is pretty stupid & honestly there's no real reason to use this skill since Fossilize is the definite better of the two in its current form.

My suggestion is to change Shattering rocks into a ability that procs off-balanced (use to at a chance when broken) when applied on a target or when the CC is broken. The ability can also be changed to stamina but it being a utility Magicka is fine with me.

    Shattering Rocks?
    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

    It was looked down because foss provided both, stun (technically disorient before summerset) and immo. With the change to lash, it was the obvious choise to proc off balance... but ZoS was "clever" enough to change it into a... heal?

    Don't remember if it was before of after Wolfies' patch, but heck... a nerf disguised as a buff... that's so ZoS...

    Whos trump? For the queen!

    In reality, there's nothing that could take ive place of fossilize if it's an 8 meter cast. An unavoidable stun with damage and a root at the end.. literally unbeatable unless there's range added.

    Always wondered why it was a 50% chance tho. So dumb.

    I think Shattering is a lot more useful compared to what it was in the past. At least it basically neutralizes one of the damages from your opponents with heal component. Been using it and I don't really feel the difference between it and Fossilize.

    Then what does fossilize get? Root is already useless vs half the builds in cyro.

    If they replace it was instant offbalance on cast for power lash to not need that stupid setup lash I'd love it.

    The best mDK I know in this game chooses to use shattering rocks, so Im gonna have to go ahead and say its not useless. MDK has such a stupid amount of healing, baked into almost every skill in some way shape or form. The attacks heal, the cc heals, the defensive buffs increase healing..

    When you layer it all together, it makes for some incredibly resilient and durable builds.

    You know what's happened the last time someone said "This morph is weak, change it, the morph everyone else use is just better" ?

    They nerfed the good morph to make the other morph not used yet. That's how ZoS nerf.

    A is good, B is bad, nerf A so people will use B, but B still trash so everyone still use A, you just got nerfed.


    Nerf crystal frag damage to make crystal blast better, no one use blast, remove crystal frag stun to make blast revelant ! No one use blast, sorc just got nerfed !

    Nerf fossilize to make Shattering Rocks better, it's the most logical way to make something revelant, isn't it ?

    Does anyone else remember when Thogard was a passionate stam dk main, and begrudgingly made a stamden to prove a point- evidenced by the name Thogaids?

    Now he’s happily the bg stamden (when the ques allow).

    until you get defiled, then the morph becomes useless.

    Old SR had a chance to set the enemy off balance, which would be quite useful right now.

    I just want shattering rocks changed to off-set an enemy when it is used on them. This opens up a lot of damage potential for a class that lacks burst damage (more so Stamina variant).

    I also understand ZOS backwards way of making skills equally useful but we need to combat that thought process instead of allowing it to happen.
