Rethink Defensive Rune

I like this skill, I use this skill...but...I think it has a major flaw. Okay so this skill, is supposed to stun the next person that attacks you. But when you get hit by like say Focused Aim for 10k-13k you also get stunned, and usually the follow up Focused Aim kills you if you're like me with low-ish 21k health. I think if the skill is going to "defend" you it should at least negate some of the damage, or at least negate the stun. I think its kinda dumb to have a skill that stuns your opponent but their stun still stuns you. Most players don't repeatedly cast it during fights so at least make it "deflect" the next attack after all its supposed to save you from a surprise attack but it seems pointless if a strong bow ganker can bypass it by simply having 2 Focused Aims in the air for a thwump-thwump insta-death.

    Cool ideas and all, but ZOS are going the other way, its getting a 1.2 sec delay lol. So you will be dead before the stun hits them.

    Was a cool skill, they broke cage so then broke defensive rune too. crazy times.

    You have definitely just urinated on his bonfire. This ability was overly buffed, then nerfed into the ground and is beyond saving. Middle ground please.

    I meant the ability generally, including rune cage. The defensive rune nerf baffles me a bit.

    Lol, maybe try memeor instead.

    Edit: Try LA+Dawnbreaker followed by a dodge roll after next patch, you should be fine. Or roll-cancel your next attack, but that needs to be quick.

    Maybe use an attack before the dawn? Or wait for them to cast it and proc on you, then use dawn while you are cc immune?

    Or do you mean, and I HIGHLY doubt this, that your sorc opponent having it pre cast and you having cc immunity still makes it negate your dawn?

    Or is this sarcasmm? Long day at work, sarcasm detector is broken for the most part currently lol

    Either way next patch it will still go through and hit them because you get 1.2 seconds to.....get ready....... DODGE ROLL the stun rofl
