Rune Prison too slow?

pkb16_ESO2 · October 2017

Hi,
Rune Prison seems too slow to be useful. Im not even sure if it is possible to cast a meteor and stun Opponent directly bevor it hits him, like the MagDk Meteor forsi Combo.
Am i using it wrong? Could anybody used it as combo with Meteor?
Thx

I think it is, in fact i think frags is to slow as well but that just me.

Encase would be better if your trying to hold the opponent for the Meteor.

I just loged off after playing with it for an hour or so in Cyro, so basicly my first impression was, lets check the forum if other ppl think Rune prison is kinda slow and wierd. I had to go and reread cast time like 3 times, since i couldnt belive it was instant. For example, i thought that if i trow frag at someone at like 25m range and then Cage it would basicly land at the same time, as petrify would, due to slow frag. It's completely other way around. You can cast Rune Cage and then trow insta frag and they will land relatively at the same time. Crazy stuff!
Hope it's just the matter of sloting it in the right place im my burst combo, but my dreams of sorc petrify are blown away...

Yes... With Frag its ok, as you can do like u said, but with meteor it wont work at all. What a garbage.
Now i really want my stun back;)

I've been trying to explain this to ppl on the PTS, I"ll just quote myself:

Rune cage does have a slight "travel time" between when it's cast and when the CC actually happens. You're thinking it's as instantaneous as Fossilize, which is fair enough because the tootips are mirrored - it just doesn't function as seamlessly in game though.

So the proper timing looks like: curse > empower > rune > frags, due to rune cage's wonky animation time. Meaning the target will actually be mid CC break animation as the frags lands.

yes, but in that case, it wont be used in Pvp. The Goal is to land an Meteor. A stun just to land 1 Frag isnt worth it. Especially since its quite costly.
They should make it much faster.

You can cast Meteor and stun before it hits just fine... just need to get used to it.
