Rune Prison “Nerf” is useless

Priyasekarssk✭✭✭✭✭As someone who made a toon only for PvP and has been strictly pvp'ing for the last dew days I am not qualified to make "pro" PvP suggestions, BUT, other than a couple random stamden deaths and a couple nb ganks, every death is from a sorc. It is and it isn't rune prison. Fix the CC break. Like for the whole God damn game. The fact that I can CC break sometimes only 2 out of 5 times (Not exaggerating) is staggering.
Rune cheese is not the issue. It's ZOS coding. I'd be perfectly fine if every other skill in the game was a CC as long as the game would work as intended
ZOs has the data. [snip] NBs are most killers in cyrodil followed by wardens.

Ah, good to know!
Yeah, Rune Cage is a counter to excessive rolling and blocking, which can both ruin our four seconds of preparation. People like DDuke just aren't used to sorcs actually being a threat. It's quite easy to tell how salty he is, no longer being carried on his 19k health bowbow gank "build".
When we get frontloaded burst like NBs or an instant stunburst ult like Dawnbreaker, we can talk about stripping the burst as we know it.
Lmao.
I've fought sorcs in the past who were more than a threat, easily capable of killing medium stamblades.
Sorcs who'd streak over you when you cloak or hit you with a frag/reach as you try to heavy attack for sustain and then bursted you down.
Sorcs who actually did something that requires skill (I know, a foreign concept to the likes of you) and earned their skills. Sorcs I could respect.
The fact you die to stamina burst tells me you don't know how to keep your shields up and aren't good with reactive defenses (dodge roll/block).
This is very much like arguing with the Miat's defenders again. "But, but... I deserve my cheats & cheese because I'm bad at the game". [snip]
Mag sorcs and Stam NBs should just be locked in their own faction together to rot in their own toxicity, and leave the rest of us to play in peace and relative cheeselessness.
NBs and DKs should be locked . Probably take wardern as well.

There are so many things you don't even have to worry about as a sorc. In terms of brain-dead playstyles magsorc is number 1. I literally hop on my sorc and slay people without even thinking about it because they can't avoid my burst. I can have insane mobility and tankiness and the best burst in the game, all from range.. everything about sorc is easy mode. Go run around solo on a mag DK or a stamplar or maybe a magblade and then come back and tell us if sorc is hard to play.
Easy to play, hard to master. As every class is.
I've never, in 4 years of ESO, heared of a good player struggling with rerolling to magsorc (the "hard to mastedr" part). Literally never. If you're good your results are likely to even get better if you hop on magsorc despite playing it not often or not at all (the same is unfortunately true for nightblades, stamina moreso than magicka).Koma Grey, Chocolate Thunder, Little Mojo, Dagoth Mojo & Mojomancy0 -

If you guys can balance the stun from Nightblade's Incapacitating Strike, which is a short ranged dodgeable ULTIMATE, you guys can balance the stun of Rune Prison, which is an unblockable, undodgeable LONG RANGED REGULAR frickin skill.

Quite the opposite.
If you're an excellent magblade, for example, you're in for a rude awakening with magsorc. I promise you'll miss your blade very soon.
Sorc is beginner-friendly but doesn't reach as high performance. That's because of a weird combination of lacking versatility, an unwanted focus on pets and unique mechanics that only work in very special scenarios. They're not weak, but compared to a fully-developed class like Nightblades is depressing at times.0
