    Did the change affect defensive rune?

    Edit: Changes to the base skills often carry over to both morphs, that's why I'm asking.

    tbfh people were exploiting that ability with the break cc glitch and literally pinning someone forever. This in truth fixes one version of the infinite cc'd.

    1. Developers play for magblade (pve) and dk (pvp). They are favorites. The messages of those users who notice this will be deleted.
    2. Manasorc did not have any non-nerf abilities.
    3. We make bets! On what ability will the developers' hatred turn next time?

    Is that why raids run 7 NBs?

    Rofl....it was just reverted not nerfed tbh.

    It was originally 3.5 seconds to begin with but it was one of the most broken stuns in the game because it takes 2-3 seconds just to break free properly and in that time it bassically means your dead.

    I would be fine with it still being at 5 seconds if it was actually possible to break free in the same amount of time it takes to break free from fossilise (its the exact same stun).

    Im not even a sorc i hate sorcs even though I have a sorc but run prison just has broken functionality so right now its a good thing they reduced the stun duration. Besides they've said they're going to change it further in future patches because they've finally realised its not in a good spot as an ability.

    Rofl... it was already nerfed to uselessness - now its nerfed again.

    It was originally reverted from 5 back to 3.5. Now its nerfed. And honestly, I've never seen this cage-specific breakfree bug - at least no more than I notice it with any other cc, so I've no idea why cage gets singled out so much - unless perhaps there is some kind of agenda

    Fixing bugs by effectively removing the bugged skills - and you're fine with that?

    Magsorc is still the best pve class in the game.

    What mag sorc is ok in PVE could be worst but not the best this is 2018 post Morrowind Nightblades are better at DPS Templars and Wardens are better healers and DKs and Templars are arguably better tanks the only thing that sorcs are better at is playing solo and VMA being the best solo class in an MMO lol.
