Encase, Shattering/Restraining Prison

NordSwordnBoard

I fire this skill, targets are in the cone, but they do not get hit. I understand some may have their target box out of my area of effect with lag, but it will sometimes show the crystals where the person was when I cast it, yet not encase them. Sometimes it will show three crystal circles like they hit 3 players, but there was only one target and it did not get hit at all.

It is not reliable. For such a high cost, would it be wrong/OP to make it similar to Dk chains that return the cost if it doesn't connect? I understand that the aoe aspect makes this more versatile than chains with hitting multiple targets instead of being single target. I also think DK talons work more reliably than encase, but that is based mainly on PvE dungeon experience.

Does anybody else experience this? Not asking for a buff so much as if it may be a bug. If it is a bug or complex fix, maybe returning the cost when it fails could be the alternative... thoughts?

They may have immunity. It'll show the animation still

I’ve been running it on my Stam sorc for a while

Enemies who dodge roll can’t be immobilized

The Hit box has a 1 sec delay from what I can tell.

These are the issues in PvP with it


I was thinking of making a similar post today lol

Encase really shines when you do it on a bunch of people when someone else is bombing. Or else when you can spam it on a high regen build to lock those tree runners down for your friends.
