Incapacitating Strike: The Silence from this ability can now be CC broken, and cannot be activated on targets who are already affected by a CC effect.
Note that this change is exclusive to Incapacitating Strike, and will not apply to other Silences, such as Negate Magic, since those are area effect-based pulsing durations, versus instantaneous duration-based effects.

^complete and utter garbage! Way to only further drain my stam which I have a limited pool of on on magicka. What is it going to take to get it through the NB team's heads? SINGLE TARGET SILENCE IS TOXIC TO THE GAME

Incap stunned at 120 or more ult before, so unless you were consistently blocking it (which I doubt you were), this is actually a big nerf to the ult. It appears that you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Edit: for reasons that the OP didn’t list, I do think that the devs need to evaluate what they’ve done this pts cycle with NB and acknowledge how directionless and clueless they appear to be.Edited by Yiko on May 13, 2019 10:22PM9 -

✭✭✭✭✭Directionless for sure.
Devs: it needs a change
Also devs: we don’t know what kind of change4 -

What's the difference between draining your stam pool?
120 ult on live, your stunned, 120 ult on pts your silenced. Both can be CC broken and CC immuned, both cost stam to break.
I don't see how this makes any difference.
If your stunned and don't have stam to cc break, you can't cast magic abilities, if your silenced and can't cc break, you can't cast Magicka abilities.
Same ***, different effect.

Wasn't the fact that you could still move while silenced a big part of the change?2 -

Yes, which really makes it less effective then the stun. OPs argument was that this single target silence is game breaking. I disagree, as someone who mains stam and mag toons, this is an incap Nerf for sure0 -

To be fair, use it on a stam char and they eat the silence and get 7-10 seconds of CC immunity for no cost. There is no penalty for letting the silence run its course. Magicka characters blow stam on breaking or die. Realistically you will CC them first to land the incap, so it makes no difference. Better to use it at 70 and save 50 ult.
Makes no difference to me. I'm not a nb and I pvp mostly as stam, but it is a bad change all around.
