race against time (psijic skill) best skill in the game?

Wing

major expedition 4s
snare and immobilize immunity 4s
minor force 12s

cheap, spammable

is this going to be obligatory on everyone's bar in pvp now? this is every mobility problem in the game solved by one skill, available to all classes.

A bit too much imho

mistform 2.0.

And that is a good thing.

Zophix

I like this change to race against time, but now DK feels a little less unique in that sense.

P2w

Sotha_Sil

Doesn't say if it removes the snares/immobilizations on activation.

Ultimately Rip DK's

They will buff Dk snare immunity to 4 sec in the next patch to look "cool" in the eyes of DK crowd. You'll see.
Meanwhile, stamDK still rip.

Did they imply that it was bad?

classes are balanced against this sort of thing, for instance, NECRO lacks these things, but has a lot of other massive bonuses. but if it can get everything it was balanced around not having in a single skill. . .

Maybe race against time should not get minor force or major expedition and only the snare immunity.

to be the ugly version of Forward Momentum or wings?

This is a good skill.

Thank you ZoS !

It'd be unique, longer snare immunity than wings + available to everyone and its a magicka skill instead of stamina.

You make it sound like this one skill will suddenly even out the playing field for everyone. Even with this skill in the game stam will continue to have an upper hand in mobility due to a larger stam pool and, in some cases, faster sprint speed and ditto for classes w/ mobility skills like streak or shade.

All this skill does is close the gap ever so slightly between magicka and stamina, which has been a major pain point for many magicka players.

Totally screws up the identity of med armor builds with a bow, there's no reason to play such a build now. What they said is that they nerf Legion and Fury but instead they can now play with Rally and use this skill as anti snare tool and have major exp on demand. Makes so much sense that brawlers and tanks can be as fast as someone who actively builds around mobility. I thought speed pots were nerfed for that reason...

DeadlyRecluse

I'm looking forward to it on templar (and no longer having to choose between defensive mistform and offensive race), but it's a little overloaded.

Magicka snare/root immunity should've been done a long time ago. Best change in years. It's basically required now to achieve any sense of balance in group v group fights after the Rapids nerf. It can also helps with the problem of every single stam build being pigeon-holed into 2H or medium armor for forward momentum or shuffle.

Synapsis123

Magicka finally gets a snare removal.

It still has a 3240 base magicka cost, which will eat away at available magicka for stam class utility. For example, the magicka cost of wings stops some StamDKs on live from running it, when spiked armor and fragmented shield are already necessary.

I do agree that the ability seems rather loaded tbh. If 4 seconds is going to be the standard for snare immunity, then wings and shuffle need to be brought in line, with shuffle getting a higher snare immunity to have a better identity for medium armor.

Noobslayer3255

It's mind blowing that this ability gives 4 seconds of snare/root immunity, yet shuffle gives only .5 seconds per piece of medium worn.

Dojohoda

Race Against Time (morph): This morph no longer reduces the cost of sprinting by 50% for 4 seconds. Instead, it now grants immunity to Snares and Immobilizations for 4 seconds.

Oh my goodness; thank you. This will be helpful on my snaredblade.

ssewallb14_ESO

Also I don't think it's overloaded at all compared to similar abilities. Forward momentum costs the same and effectively gives you free major brutality and a HoT with 100% uptime, freeing up a skill and potion slot and giving free healing to stamina's already strong hots. If anything shuffle needs a buff.

techprince

I will able to cure my vamp now. But, i can still get stunned and feared so..... idk.

NyassaV

It's too little too late. Honestly unless you are a DK there isn't much point in playing Magicka right now especially with all the buffs that stam got

olsborg

Zos was talking about skills being too overloaded, then they made this...great way to take a dump in your bed if u ask me.

Sheezabeast

Eh.....I’ll try it out first before crying. My battlegrounds Sorc uses it for cheap sprinting to save Stam, but this change might be better.

LordTareq

It's definitely too good. It should loose the minor expedition if it gives snare immunity for 4 seconds. I mean in its proposed state, is there any magicka build that isn't going to slot this for PvP?

DisgracefulMind

I'm really happy about it; I'm sick of being forced into being a vampire.

Jeezye

I think they should simply turn up the skill cost to adequat levels. 3960 I think is comparable to other skills, would make it impossible for heavy and medium builds to keep up

Wing

ima slot this regardless of magicka or stam, as a DK main im used to using magicka to cure this kind of thing. this is great on everyone regardless of spec.
