Some GOOD news for Sorcs: Dark Deal and Rune Cage

Amidst all the despair for Bolt of Lightning, it's important to note that some formerly useless skills have been BUFFED considerably for 2.1. Dark Deal now has a cast time of only 1 sec, while Rune Cage is now instant cast. I've been using both skills against tough mobs, and I'm happy with the results so far.

Dark Deal, in particular, is now great for restoring Stamina in a hurry, something that has been plaguing Magicka Sorcs for a long time.

Rune Cage is more fun to use now, but still has the limitation of only being active one target at a time.

    Does the first tick of a damage-over-time effect stop Rune Cage?

    Rune cage looks deadly if opponent is not able to break free. DOT him up then rune cage.

    No, I can cast Lightning Splash right on top of the guy, and he won't wake up for the whole duration. He WILL wake up if he's caught in the path of AOEs like Impulse or Crystal Blast.

    Thanks for clarifying that for me, should be cool. It goes through block too, so it's basically Sorcerer equivalent of Petrify now? Would be cool if Agony would be instant-cast next.

    I thought that the changes to surge actually sounded pretty good too! :) In fact... its nearrrrrly back to how good it was before. 100 milisecond cooldown, and DoT's not proccing the heal!! Plus longer duration..... its got me interested again, though giving up the 8% health % 2% magicka from entropy would still be hard

    satire ?
    Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

    "Here in his shrine, that they have forgotten. Here do we toil, that we might remember. By night we reclaim, what by day was stolen. Far from ourselves, he grows ever near to us. Our eyes once were blinded, now through him do we see. Our hands once were idle, now through them does he speak. And when the world shall listen, and when the world shall see, and when the world remembers, that world will cease to be. - Miraak
