It's funny that "L2P" is somehow the answer to rune cage when you have players like Feng Rush complaining about how op rune cage is, because there is no counter. You can't "L2P" against it, because there is nothing you can do to prevent it.
So, are you saying Feng Rush needs to L2P?
If the answer is yes, you are simply out of touch, and defending something because you use it knowing how ridiculous it is.
He started playing again? If you'd been on the forums, he and I almost always argue. He's like the worst guy to quote to me. He had a point on smart heal vs dumb damage but that's like the extent we agree on.
I actually talked to the man (when he played...) Have you?
Rune cage can't 1 shot by itself, it's a timed combination of rune cage with like 4 other skills and a damage increase enchantment.
Yeah, rune cage is OP but so is fossilize and incap(current patch, not pts). Fossilize is literally a melee range rune cage, and both of them are broken. ZOS really just needs to do a big rework of PvP skills in general.
The problem is any mediocre player can be very effective on a mag sorc shackle litch meta is broken right now
Lol have you even played anything other than a sorc? And yes if i have 18k and a sorc hits his curse frags execute with light attacks and weapon glyphs in between all while breaking the cc animation yes. Its broken as ***. Sorc main defense is absolute while stamina has many options to negate. On top of that its easy as *** to hit a full sorc combo. Melee has never been known for its ease of target acquisition (dizzy swing for example, major expedition is a lot harder for melee to deal with than mag because of the 7m range thing and lag). Lately ive been missing alot of light attacks even though the animation goes off (no damage) but my skill does....Oreyn_Bearclaw wrote: »Oreyn_Bearclaw wrote: »Your suggestions aren't realistic, but yeah magsorcs are insanely OP this patch, no other class is even close.
@Daus
Stamblade is still more dominant, they just arent quite as prevalent. Sorcs have a much lower floor because they are no doubt easier to play, but Stamblade has the higher ceiling for sure, be it dueling, open world, BGs, etc.
Not from my experience. I can usually guess outcome of a BGs match prior to it starting based team composition. Whichever team has the most magsorcs is typically the one that wins. It doesn't matter who's playing the class, that's the outcome the majority of the time.
@Daus
You dont play much in pre-mades then. A good pre-made will typically have 1 sorc and it has nothing to do with rune cage. You do it for steeling KBs with mages wrath. A team of 3-4 magic sorcs will get murdered by a properly built group, which usually has at least two stamina characters. In a pug frenzy, sure Mag Sorc has some advantages, and that is kinda my point. Mag sorc has a really low floor, but the ceiling is not as high as stamblade or frankly a few other classes.Oreyn_Bearclaw wrote: »Your suggestions aren't realistic, but yeah magsorcs are insanely OP this patch, no other class is even close.

@Swimguy
No. Sorcs have like 4 direct tools to counter stamblades and once they rune cage you under 80% your dead if they crit you once.
If that is your experience as a sNB, then sorry, L2P. If one sorc combo wrecks you with 80% health, something is going wrong on your end. Also, what direct tools are you talking about? Curse pulls you out of cloak. That's it. And if curse pulls you out of cloak, that combo is already ruined and the sorc needs to start over, assuming you dont just cloak again.
You can dodge/block the mages wrath which is part of the setup for the combo, and you can break free and doderoll the frags that is likely coming at you following the hard CC, and of course you can dodge the light attacks. Not only can a sNB roll dodge for days, they have their own source of evasion, and can cloak making the combo difficult to lineup in the first place. Point is, that combo should essentially never hit you all at once. stam NB is the hardest class to line up the sorc combo against. Second place is Stamplar because they have good pressure and a cheap purge.
I am not saying that a well executed sorc combo doesnt hurt, it absolutely does, and news flash, it's supposed to. I am 100% saying that if that combo kills you every time you encounter it, you have a L2P issue. They only change from last patch to this patch was a small damage component to RC. They are already nerfing it on PTS. Many players, myself included, have suggested they also look at toning down the range. Unblockable Undodgeable CCs have been around in this game for a long time. DKs have virtually the same skill, with a shorter range but also a built in immobilization, that actually is more powerful against a good player because it better attacks your stamina pool.

I heard what he said...is there a point that you've talked to him? Because that doesn't change, at all, what he said about rune cage being ridiculous.
Thanks for your non-point though..
the rune cage burst meta is horrible and offers 0 counterplay. stacking 30k damage with a undodgeable/unblockable cc is OP
fix runecage by making the sorcs not be able to shield if they have it slotted. why should you be able to one shot everyone if we cant do it back?

My point is, if you've talked to him, you'd know he's not the end all be all of ESO. He is just like the rest of us, and just because e has an opinion you share, it's not a point.

He doesn't have to be the end all be all of ESO.
My point is he's one of the best, if not THE BEST, PvP player on any platform, and he has a hard time dealing with rune cage. For the simple fact that there's no counter play to it...at all.
My point is if a player of his caliber has a hard time dealing with it, you can't just pass it off as it being solely a "L2P" issue.
It's a dismissive tactic because no one who uses it looks at it honestly. You want free, easy kills, and admitting it's op might lead to a change, so those who use it defend it so it doesn't go away. A few sorcs have come out saying it's ridiculous, but most won't.
Cheers to those honest players out there...wish there were more like you.

Part of the problem is that when the canned response of "it's a timed combination of abilities" is used to denote it's like some sort of crazy mad skill to hit a couple buttons in the right sequence. It's not really... but the real problem is how many of them are uncounterable when the sequence is done.
A lot of mag sorcs have taken a whole lot of pride in the ability to press 1 then press 2 then press 3 then press 4. 3 year olds can count to 4 and being that the entire "timed rotation of true skill" isn't much more than pressing 1 2 3 4, well I'm pretty sure a 3 year old can "pwn" people on a magsorc.

Stamwarden is only better than stam dk because passives and the burst... where does he get burst sub assault. Sorc has up to 5 different damage ticks when casting rune cage (curse, meteor, light attack, weapon glyph, and rune cage)
