Remove casting through blocking.

I know this is not your area, but be the champion of this because solving PvP problems is. All the things you have suggested or brought out are not having an affect, because guilds will always travel in large groups, and for that matter, like on Thornblade, PUG's run in 'rangerX' (x being the variable for multiple groups).

This change does so much for the game too. Far to long casters have had advantage by permablock, and melee (stamina form) cant even do normal attacks with a shield block up. The effect for lag issue is it will stop the spammers by forcing a choice, do I defend on the flag point, or do I attack. NO MORE METEOR LOCKUP SPAMS since they have lost their ability to not take damage from block.

the real zerg balls never have members block... simply due to the fact they move too fast.

watch one havok group and this is pretty obvious.. they dont block and dont need to block.. Purge will clear out any CC anyways, including stuns etc.

so ya.. block casting changes will NOT make any change to zerg ball tactics.

it will hurt the isolated and spread out players the most, leading to a increase of zerg tactics.

a better option is to add better healing debuffs that can readily be cast into groups that zergball, options that cannot be purged.. a good idea would be making Silence non CC breakable, and adding it to Magicka detonation, while dramamtically reducing the damage of that skill.

If magicka detonation acted as a unbreakable silence, it would have a much more massive effect on tight Zergs as either the guy gets out and dies, or silences his entire group preventing healing and leading to the death of the zerg. since the one morph fires off instantly if purged, it would effectively end all healing the moment it was cast into a group.

I say it tongue and cheek a lot, though these days I'm willing to see any change, but if you really wanted to stop the stack and spam, why not enable team damage?
