- Coercer: Ego Shock - Changed Root into target encounter daze that always lands. Reuse timer changed to 30s. Damage reduced. Daze effect will affect Epic targets.  Does anyone else think that a 'daze' is in no way superior to the one root EVERYONE uses? Daze means no auto attacks, CA's are still around, and unless they add something somewhere , or I missed it, no where does it say Daze is a root / stun type thing, so the mob will still be after us. Anyone else noticed that?<div></div>

  No idea how much, but every little bit hurts <span>:smileysad:</span>Shipwreck, if they changed it to a minor mez or stun I wouldnt be SO down on it lol: your right, looks like root is on the way out though.  A few more nerfs and we wont be an over powered solo class anymore <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span> we'll be like troubs, here when ya need us, forgotten when you don..oh wait we were like that now werent we?<div></div>

<P>According to a Dirge on test, the Daze effect will allow movement only, but no attacks or CA's/spells.  It also won't break on damage.  He said he found it to be an amazingly useful power to cast on a mob.</P> <P>For myself, I would Ego Strike, then hit with the Hesitation anyway.  All this means to me is that the mob will be a little bit closer to me now when I hit them with that.  They still won't hit me before then due to the daze, plus the Hesitation line includes a daze in it as well.</P> <P>I don't see my soloing being affected by this change, other than a possible need to back away a few steps from a mob after I hit it.</P>
