    My favorite is when you mark the sorc, you get rune cage'd.

    When the sorc attacks you, you get rune cage'd.

    You have full stam, but can't cc break the rune cage.

    99% of my lagout/crash/frozen in BG's are from the same 4-5 skills

    I converted my pve mag sorc to pvp the other day and there's a combo I can do with rune cage that can kill a grand overlord before they can do anything if they don't have cc immunity. The skill is too strong

    Rune prison absolutely needs to be re-worked. Give Sorcs the stun back on Crystal Frags...and put Rune Prison back to the way it was. Both Rune Prison and Sloads are ruining BGs for a LOT of people right now and it's annoying af.

    Well the only difference between rune cage and any other hard CC range ability is the unblockable undodgeable aspect.

    Unless you're a permablocker or a perma dodger you won't see much difference, if you are one of those, serves you right

    I think that perhaps the unblockable and undodgeable aspect of Rune Cage, Petrify, and Fear is perhaps related to why they sometimes become unbreakable and force a death. The primary difference between Rune Cage and the other two is the ability to use it on targets at range. The secondary difference is the morph that CC's when you damage the sorc, which makes the CC unpredictable. In my experience though both Petrify and Fear would relatively often result in unbreakable CC, Rune Cage just increased the range and thereby made the bug more prevalent.

    that delayed break free though.

    It is not the stun or delayed break free. It is the TTK in this game is to short for such stuns. It is not really challenging PvP but I understand it is used as it is. The same player on the receiving end will die just as fast as you. Not really a build that requires much skill.

    I don't even have to use curse or meteor. Rune prison and the morphs need to be brought back to the drawing board and reworked

    The latency in the game as well as poor code is making the ability to break free from any CC more cumbersome. It isn't a fault of the Rune Cage ability itself, but rather the lackluster code that governs CC break.

    ZoS needs to address the following CC issues:
    - Not breaking free despite having full resources to pay for it.
    - Spending resources on the break free but then still forced to sit through the CC animation.
    - Breaking free into another CC that is immediately applied before immunity is given.

    THAT is the issue in CC in Cyrodiil. It isn't any one ability - stop blaming ONE ability when these issues are happening from ANY CC.
