Is there any other sorc-abilities that should also get stacking cost-increase? Why settle with just bolt escape and ward... Mages fury? They say sorcs just spam fury in battlegrounds for the win, not acceptable. Need stacking cost-increase. Overload? Isn`t it clearly overpowered if sorcs can spam them hard-hitting lightning-balls and maybe even kill someone, need stacking cost-increase. Rune-cage? Encase? But of course.
Or perhaps it would be easier to just add it as passive to each sorc skill-tree: "casting any ability again within 4 seconds doubles abilitys cost".
That would teach them sorcs to not just mindlessly spam skills but git gud and L2P instead.

Not much left worth slapping it on, to be fair... mines? not exactly spammable.. Curse? Again - not spammable err, fury? I guess - but with such a low execute threshold, you're not spamming it for most of the fight already...
um.. Dark exch? They already made it more efficient to not spam ..
Frag? only useable on proc already..
Cage? already impossible to cast on anyone cc-immune - so already effectively has a 7-sec cd (or is it 5 - can never remember)..
err.. What's left for sorc that's spammable? Crushing shock? Nahh - cos others use that... What about that block buff from aegis that nobody uses? Yeah lets add a stacking cost to that?

Hm, what else finds its way onto a sorc bar..? surge? hm, its only cast every 30 seconds - so I guess you could add a cost increase if cast again within 1 minute?
Boundless? OO, now the expedition part only lasts 5 seconds - they could add a stacking cost increase to that! Why not? Don't want sorcs having any kind of mobility now, do we.
Oh and pets.. there's that passive that refunds makica when you re-summon them. Yeah, change that to lose resources instead! Scaled up if you just cast a summoning ability within the last 30 seconds...

Yeah, I think we're getting close now!

Is there any other class so hobbled by 'occasional use' abilities, stuffed for skill-slots because of it - and people keep suggesting adding MORE???

Come ON.
