Shock Clench stun gone?

Saril_Durzam✭✭✭✭Only issue with Flame stun is that: 1) forces you to play Fire staff (Who will play Shock after patch, in anyways?) and 2) it has ridiculous range. Bow stun hits harder, heals, and stuns. As many people here like to compare skills nowadays...2 -
josh.lackey_ESO✭✭✭✭✭This is bogus. They need to put the stun back.
Honestly, they just need to undo all the Destructive Touch changes. They were not needed and aren't good. I never heard a single person complain Destructive Touch was overperforming.

✭✭✭Hoping they will readd the aoe stun to scorch for mag wardens, im okay using clench as a spammable, but at let magden get its stun back. Not like ot was ever op.2 -

Why aren’t people just reading patch notes?
Reach is the morph that turns Touch into a long range, massive DoT.
Clench is the morph that removes the DoT and turns Touch into a CC.
By the way I am surprised how strong the Reach DoT is - does Reach have different effects depending on the staff used or was that streamlined for all three staves?
I literally just said clench doesn’t have a dot now.
It’s even shown on pts that shock clench does not stun. So you’re incorrect on how r gained a cc
You can either have a knockback or an immobilize, I call that CC. If you choose to use a Lightning Staff you won’t have any CC, that’s right, still the other two staves offer them. Although I don’t know why Lightning Reach must be a spammable AoE, makes not much sense to me in the light of Impulse.
You’re literally forced to use a flame staff for clench. Which by the way is horrible for a magwarden since they’re main damage tools are AOE based on top of that, flame clench will literally knock people out of your shalks burst which is absolutely dumb.
Can’t use a reliable shock clench cc anymore because that’s gone so basically magdens and magnecros have no decent class stun.
Funny thing is stamina gets a nice class stun through the fighters guild that now fears enemies on command. Whilst mag classes get to suffer due to lack of utility because zos doesn’t play their own damn game.1 -

We need the same treatment to draining shot. Heal, CC or range. Choose one.Edited by gepe87 on July 9, 2019 12:51PMGepe, Dunmer MagSorc Pact Grand Overlord | Gaepe, Bosmer MagSorc Dominion General

✭✭No more shock clench spam? There is a god after all.
I’d love to not be pidgepnholed into shock clench spamming. That being said, if they’re going to remove it. They need to give classes like magden and magnecro a decent alternative. IE a decent class stun and spammable in the case of magwarden.
Right now they basically just shafted those two classes and rendered most useless in PvP.Edited by frostz417 on July 9, 2019 12:43PM0 -

✭✭✭The thing that bothers me is that the lightning is a "reliable" channel attack on heavies vs the dodge able projectile from fire & ice. If you want a cc on reach, you are forced to use projectile heavy attacks staves.
Is there supposed to be some sort of clench aoe explosion weaved with heavy attacks for mediocre aoe damage? I say mediocre because in PvP you're intended to fire this into a group? I'm trying to understand the purpose behind all of this.Fear is the Mindkiller0 -

this can be said of a great many of the changes over the last year, not that anyone is listening, other than players, ofc.

Also PVP community: Wait why did you remove this CC, my class is dead now
Guys... you have to embrace these changes if you want *** to get fixed, even if it means taking a nerf. Personally I hate the CC meta so much that I dont use stuns at all, so I wont be affected and my magden will be exactly the same as they where.
wtf is a cc meta?0
