I would be careful when you use encase or remove it from your bar, as it works like hurraince to do crowd control but in a different way.

Thanks for all of your input, it's a lot to consider and I'll definitely check out mines!

But I was curious what you mean by this? How do you mean it works like hurricane for crowd control? Encase locks them into place, hurricane doesn't? I think I'm misunderstanding something.

Also, were your recommendations going mostly off of being a magicka tank? I don't really want to race change (even though, yes, I know, khajiit is not a good tanking race at all) and so I think stamina is the better option to make at least some use of my racials. Or would it be just as effective as magicka since I'm not a good tanking race anyway?

Crowd control is also about controlling the crownd. You don't have keep them in place but control them. So what hurriance does it places initial arrgo on all nearby enemies so dps can just pick them off.

I've noticed this isn't the case though. I still have adds running about, even while in my hurricane range. So I must be doing something wrong there.

Also ty to above posters, I'm still mixing and matching to see what works best for me. Having a lot of fun trying these different styles (though my bank account sure isn't...)

"Initial agro" is a very flimsy thing and seldom works in my experience, many times even when I am the first person attacking a mob it might run in the opposite direction chasing a group member instead if I don't taunt it. Encase, morphed to Restraining Prison, is a great way to root everyone down letting you taunt them that much easier. And if the trash pull lasts long enough and everything is nice and stacked them you can do it again over and over and not have to taunt all the small trash mobs again, though I would still recommend you taunt the bigger mobs. And since you are not a DK and I am not sure if you are planning to use Swarm Mother in Dungeons, remember to stack the melee mobs ON the range mobs, makes the stacks all that much better.

Also your Hurricane will not break the Encase, its not that kind of Root, its not Rune Prison, Damage won't break it. When I tank on my sorc I use Encase in a similar fashion to how I use Talons on my DK, just that I have to aim it since its not a 360 AoE.

Okay thank you! This is what I have been doing and why I've been using encase (or whatever morph, I believe I grabbed the one that slows them once the shards wear off so they don't run around like mad immediately either).
