    Should be an "other" option. I hardly die to either one of those. What shows up about 50% of the time on my own recaps is bleeds. Bunny hopping NB's or DK's with DW Master's axes. LOL It's extremely common. Or maybe bleeds with Oblivion damage. Stackin' up that unmitigatable damage!

    Soo many sorcs don't know how to burst with cage. Its usually free cc-immunity.
    Minalan owes me a beer.

    Since a plethora of sorcs on ps4 NA have decided to start wearing sloads, I'm pretty much forced to vote for both.
    Sorcs needing sloads to deal with other sorcs.....Ironic, isn't it? Sorcs are so broken in live at the moment, other sorcs need sloads to deal with them.

    Get hit with sloads you can still do whatever you need to do to survive. Runcage you can do nothing until it is over and usually by that time you are dead.

    I kill Sload users easily.
    I get Rune Caged, I might as well just give up since even if I can break free, I'm getting hit by Meteor/curse/fury/implosion and am dead anyways.

    Sload's is either something you can ignore or outright stupid.

    When it's 5 bowblades sitting in stealth waiting to light attack to apply it and then reigning snipes... it's stupid. You would figure that would be a very rare occurrence, but it isn't.

    Sloads. I can heal through the damage just by using Leeching Strikes.

    Leeching Strikes:
    Imbue your weapons with soul-stealing power, causing your Light and Heavy Attacks to restore 1452 Health and 106 Stamina for 20 seconds.

    Sloads:
    Damaging an enemy has a 10% chance to put a Leeching Shadow on them, dealing 853 Oblivion Damage every 1 second for 6 seconds.

    In a situation without lag, Rune Cage. I break free and move on.

    In a laggy situation, sloads. The laggier the game is, the more defensively I'm playing and the more I'm layering HoTs and casting purges, so the less impact Sloads has.


    ....at least Rune Cage doesn't ignore the mechanical counterplay (CC immunity/break free) by design, just on accident...

    I'll take a Sload's stack on me any day because I'm not knelt down taking a pounding from damage far heavier than a Sload's tick.

    The only time I saw sloads as a problem was in a below 50 battleground, sloads did 9k damage.

    If break free actually worked properly, Rune Cage would be a non issue.

    I’m doing a lot better in battlegrounds since I started running Valkyn Skoria, Asylum 2H and 5x heavy sloads... but rune cage kills me (or at least leaves me completely vulnerable) more often than other sload players
