sorc tank CC

lolli42

As known, 1 big part of tanking in this game is, to somehow stop the 1772782282 adds, from killing your group and in the best case, gather them for aoes
Now i think, DK is the only one with some pull, on my templer i just got time stop
Now on my sorc tank, i got those dark spheres which are cool somehow for the range but they basicly do nothing to mages and archers and i think its as waste of time, to spam dark priston on adds
Should i also get time stop for my sorc tank?
And dont u think, mass stun is way more op than a mass taunt would be?^^
At least you could place the adds better with a taunt, but running through the room xD

I also think, its rlly something, healers could do aswell, spaming some time stop, since they got way more mana
But i never see 1 -.-

Man. The restraining prison. Is better than talons. Much better. Cast it once, then you have 5.5 seconds till u need to recast it. In those 5 seconds use silver leash to grab the archers (fighters guild skill line) then recast prison.

But when u got 20 adds
How is that managable with ur mana xs
U need some aoe :x

With your Mana? It needs to be recasted every 5 seconds. If anything, I would say that using the psijic bubble will drain your Mana faster. Also it has huge range. Just need to know the angle (6X18)

But priston stuns 1 target xD
Not all in 15m xD

The other prison

lolli42

Yea i mixed it up but as i said
Its just a root
Not a stun
I would be happy with some harder CC i dunno...

zvavi

Talons are just root as well, that's why I said, restraining prison op.

lolli42

Rune priston does stun
Time stop does aoe stun
Restraining priston does aoe root

lolli42

About dk i thought he might got some aoe Version of chains

zvavi

No no, dk can chain things one after the other

lolli42

Maybe i will try the fighters guild pull
Or the Monster set

Root them with restraining prison, then streak through them all for the aoe stun if you need to stun them even though they are rooted.

lolli42

Streak is a good idea actually

Restraining prison = talon, bath have 6 target limit.
Silver leash = chain.
Normally a tank doesn’t need stun, but if you insist, go time stop or negate.

And DK is not the only class with pull. Check warden skill. Common pull is silver leash from fighter’s guild. Nowadays all tanks have a pull, though some people are not comfortable with stam pull.

Warden, DK and Sorc have root skills. They are gripping shard, talon and restraining prison. NB and Templar tanks run ice blockade as a soft CC, worse than root but viable option.

Im fine with time stop on my templar

Ice blockade is actually very effective if the tank hits first and DDs don't rush ahead and pull everything. Tank gets first aggro, and the entire mob rushes at him, then gets slowed by the blockade as they travel onto it, and DDs can burn them down as they cluster and slow around the tank. Tank could even use a root skill afterward once the mobs are clustered around him. It's all dependent on letting the tank get first pull by throwing down the blockade.

talons, gripping shards and prison all have around the same area. Wall and Time freeze are almost twice the size as the rest

Talons, 6 meter Radius, 113 meter area

Prison, 18*6 meters, 108 meter area

Gripping shards, 6 meter Radius, 113 meter area


Time freeze, 8 meter Radius, 201 meter area

Elemental blockade, 18*12 meters, 216 meter area

That said, they all have secondary effects that are worth considering as well.

I would also like to add bombard to this list, as it is a completely viable cc option, as bows are a great secondary weapon for tanks, high uptime on crusher plus a ranged interrupt on venom arrow.

Bombard, 20 meter range, hard to say area because there is no angle given, I would say between 110 meters and 160 meter area.

While you're correct about the area, it's worth mentioning that Time Freezes comes at whooping 6k magicka with a delay. And that Crushing Shock is a ranged interrupt as well.

Like I said, in the post you quoted even, they all have secondary effects that need to be considered, the main focus of my post though was to give everyone a clear picture of the size differences between them.

On crushing shock, of course it is an ranged interrupt, most people know this already, what most people forget about is that venom arrow does the same. Most people forget about bombard when talking about aoe CC as well.
