Stone Form now needs looking at

[Mervyn]

As a mystic mage myself I think stone form needs looking at.

With the new reforged armour and the ever more powerful shame jewelry and artifacts it's now relatively easy to make a mystic mage with FC 4/6 without sacrificing other mods.

Currently, with FC4/6, in stone form you can maintain the full casting speed of FC 2/6 for a mystic mage, the spell takes very little mana and is very quick to cast and like all buffs is not easy to purge.

Lets consider a few things:

When stone form was introduced it was not as easy to get FC 4/6.
When stone form was introduced there was a 'forced walk' which for some reason has since been removed.

I don't believe stone form was particularly overpowered when it was first released however now i think it is. I believe that stone form should limit the faster casting to 0 much like protection does to bring the spell back onto a level playing field.

Discuss.

I think it's fine? You are not mounted, and I'm pretty sure I run a lot slower when in stone form

The only thing wrong with Stoneform is the fact you can use Protection with it, that's all.

Said it from damn near day 1 of SA, still hasn't been fixed, it's probably not going to be....

I guess Grinders... are fun.. or something.

Are you confusing powerful with overly defensive? They are 2 quite different things.

Are you dying 1 vs 1 to people in stone form? Ouch, I feel bad for you bro

I think you could have stopped at "1 vs 1."

With the amount of dismount ganks, i see on a daily basis. I think that stoneform is a good alternative to ninjutsu's animal forms, even if they have full casting speed.
Maby its time to revive the old debate wether purge magic, should by a mystic spell or not ? I still think it should be a mage spell, and that purge magic should be able to remove animal form from players.
Just my 2 cent.
