Resist Feedback post 11/6/2011

Stun is way worse than root/snare. With root, snare, mez, etc there's all ways to deal with it, via crim pots, pumice, using a staff of runes, even using good communication with your groupmates and having them pell it off you if you're a pure melee with shit channeling, etc. Stuns are all cheap and can be chain casted forever and when landed on a target allow them to do nothing at all to counter it.

It should land very rarely, otherwise the best tactic in pvp against anyone is to have multiple stun classes just spam it mindlessly.

Btw, are enchanter nukes all coded as stuns as well? 99% sure they weren't considered such on live due to chaotic feedback / etc always landing with partials whereas whirl and other pure stuns weren't even bothered with.

Also is shock of lightning doing pushback? One of a wizards most important tools vs casters, acted as a single target DD as far as resists, but had a pseudo interrupt that caused a channel check

With and without tash is the question that is going to make me not be able to remember so well :P.

With tash? No whirl. Dunno on mezzes, I wasn't nuked very often without being tashed. The enchanter nukes hit pretty well if I was tashed in no drop. If I was in full gear (counting Velium BD bracers later) ... not so much, even w/ tash. Dunno the #'s on that atm.

i will throw my hat in the pile for stun being more detrimental than root/snare/mez there are counters to the others, being stunlocked is probably the most annoying way to get killed.

[Nirgon]

It also just really didn't land.

It uses the same resist code as stuns right now so it's 100% useless and no Wizard will ever have it mem'd beside for nuking mobs at level 12.

Would be a real shame, Shock of Lightning was a golden spell for wizards, bread and butter even in PVE.

[Nirgon]

Shock of lightning may incorrectly be on the same resist line as force shock / force strike etc.. would defs be worth a look into that.
