    Wormwood+corn flower+columbine = 15 seconds of immovibility, 20 seconds of stealth detection and 7500 magicka. If you can't kill a nightblade with all of these active then idk what to tell ya

    LOL You KNOW I'm drinking these from a brown paper bag in the sewers, like some kinda wino xD lol!

    Immovable pots, or run one piece heavy and immovable on your bar. Other than, nope. It's one of those CCs that goes through block (like fossilize). Just so happens it also hits multiple targets, snares and reduces their damage. Best CC in game by far. Of course Nightblades have it -.-

    Dude also, Malefic Wreath....The vamp berserker things cast that on me all the time and I fkn HATE it. To me that's worse than fear.

    i personally think the snare should be taken out of fear. There is already an ability in the class that snares: cripple, which a stam blade is fully capable of incorporating into their build should they desire, and a mana blade can do so very easily

    in regards to countering it, really the only way is CC breaking it. You can also put CPs into break free reduction cots or into the CP passive that reduces CC effects. The Arena set also reduces break free costs by 40%, but will lower your sustain and DPS considerably.

    Idk. I was for a change to fear until the nerf to cloak and buff to mag light and mark. Nb will be squishy so the effects from fear will be needed simply for surviving. At least wait till these changes hit live to look at fear. We need to see how the changes currently will play out before messing with are other bread and butter ability like that.

    Oh, how I imagine a game someday without any CC BS at all.

    You already know the answer to your question. CC break, and increase your stamina pool.

    As a magicka sorc, the best change I've made in PvP is using x2 Willpower jewelry with Robust and switched to Purp food, that's enough to CC break 3 times, and within that amount of time I'm able to counter and get on the offensive.

    It's well worth the slight reduction in damage. Give it a shot

    Yes. Robust ring is like 5k gold. Magika ring is 120k

    I run blue Magicka/Stamina recovery drinks instead of max food. I get about 1500 Magicka recovery and 1200 stamina recovery with these on. It means by the time the CC immunity is off, I have full stamina to break again. Can even dodge roll a few times and sneak indefinitely.

    Have not died to CC since.
    My ping is higher than your resource recovery...

    lots of good advice here: immovable Pots, CP into tumbling, more stam regen, slotting immovable for reduced BF cost.

    Just wanted to add, don't forget you can purge snares and roots, don't waste stam dodgerolling out of roots and snares as a magicka class, save stam for the hard CC.

    inline with this id also get legerdemain up for moving in stealth. engaging form stealth with half your stam bar empty isnt gonna help when you get CCd
