First things first.

It’s been proven broken, you still using it means you’re a flop. If I die because of it being used , I died. You didn’t beat me, I died. Like fall dmg. You don’t count.

In BGs it’s tolerable, but I was in cyro for the first time in a while. So bad. Every time I’d engage, some sad flop would put me on time out with a DS while fighting others. That’s enough time to put a stam sorc in medium down or close enough that it almost impossible to get effective heals off.

My main issue is the people using DS, BECAUSE it’s been proven broken. What is wrong with those people?

I know right. Then you add in these sloads, skoria, draining shot wanna-b PVPers that think they have skill. I'm embarrassed for them.

We need the LoL button back for all the bowtards trying to say leave our bowbuilds and bow play style alone. It's been around for 5 years and yada yada yada yada yada.

I remember the old rune cage. It was funny but also funny. You just had to laugh when it happened to you. As for this draining shot, being in a small man group and you have 5 or so AD or DC spamming that damn skill on you, not only is it very annoying and that CC is beyond broken, how do you counter a hard CC when your skill bar is blacked out for 3-5 seconds and they still keep spamming that damn skill.

See I for one would love to see the salt on the bowtards faces when this skill gets fixed !

Draining shot is just as bad as old rune cage. It need to be reworked. It has nothing to do with lag btw. It's broken.

Its bugged sure and that needs to be fixed, but the comparison to Rune Cage is a joke and shows your ridiculous bias. Rune Cage could not be countered it was unblockable, undodgeable, unreflectable, Draining Shot is none of those it has every counter in the game as a base skill.

Its bugged and players are exploiting it like they will any bug they can. Hyperbolic posts do not improve the game they only lead to blatant missinformation.

Ya totally bias and mostly kidding but it was to make a point. Don't hate a sorc down on his luck.

Of the broken stuns this game has had it's really the least broken. Old rune cage, even as a Sorcs main I came on the forums begging for it to get just removed. There was no counterplay. Drain shot has all the counter play. But when it does land it's annoying. But this 3-5 second lock up is due to lag without lag it's 1 second before I can break. It needs to be fixed but it's not what will kill me. And I think fossilize and fear are bigger problems since they go through block and dodge.

But it is an annoying skill and the break free needs to be tweaked obviously.

Fossilize and Fear are 8m and 6m(radius) range, draining shot can almost be 40m near keeps.
If they just removed the knockback part of it and made the stun half a second longer or so it would be fine and the bowtards could keep their "unique playstyle that has been in the game since launch".
The knockback is the problem thats gets worse and worse with ping increasing and nothing else about it.
