Replace "Slumber"

The skill will never be skilled into.

For PvE it's way to short to "CC" something big.
For PvP it's way to easy to miss in a 1vX
For PvP in a XvX it's way to useless with others waking up all targets with a swing of a sword.

I wish for something cooler like : Turn to Stone, or Mass Mind Destruction (wander aimless or interchange movement keys of players). But maybe it will be cooler with Sub-Archetype.

    Slumber has saved my life (and several group mates) many times so far. I absolutely love this skill. I'm not going to object to it making it even cooler though.

    Works great in solo, sleep a pack, by the time 1 is dead the rest wake up. Also works well for kiting when something finally reaches you.

    Useful in groups when your tank is metaphorically sleeping and a ranged mob is whacking the group.

    I do agree it's not long enough to be especially useful in an organized group. Maybe there could be a node in the skill tree to make its duration longer.

    dont look at slumber as a form of CC, look at it as a form of interrupt.

    NPC casting a bad spell, say corrupt sacrifice, mino whirlwind, black lung, then slumber it to interrupt the spell cast.

    You see a enemy cleric rezzing, slumber. You see a Ranger charging up? slumber. you see a bard, barding, slumber.

    Used slumber a bit this last weekend.
    Is a good spell for separating mobs and spell interrupt/control.
    Most people never listen. They are just waiting on you to quit making noise so they can.

    Its a niche spell, but requires some big brain to use at times. #skillissue

    It's a 2 second cast, most big spells you want to interrupt are also 2 seconds casts like the Firestarter's Flame Throw ability. It's rarely a good interrupt unless it's on a channeled effect like the Flayer's whirlwind.
