Locks need resist spells

[UmarilsStillHere]

Tsu seems to have no Issue managing his CC, since he changed to a more solo freindly build he can kill my barb in the arena way more often than not.

locks have enough

Wind wall
Energy barrier
Mind push
Protection dome
Beetle Swarm
Twister
Freeze
Pricking ivy
Laziness
Slow
Master of Doom
Vitality Absorption

(some i know are generic but it makes a point)

With those + others under your belt, if you still think you need a (get out of jail spell)
then you really need to try harder

Not so many know this, but using Mana Pylon for self defense is BIG mistake. Pylon do not affect caster, that's why it can be casted under Sanctuary spell effect.

Hope not many mages read this...and continue to run alone with pylon thinking it protects them

*sigh* i was referring to if the lock was in range of mana pylon

[ieti]

I see from time to time mages(locks, conjus) that cast Pylon and run for cover.

then they are Numpties

locks have so many spells :/

If you're good at using your CC spells effectively, you're good at surviving. If you're good at surviving you survive longer - if you're not, you don't survive long. It works like this for every class, it's just harder for a lock (which is how NGD intends it).

It helps if you increase your screen resolution and keep an entire dicipline open in your spellbook off to the side. This considerably reduces the number of buttons that you have to add to your bar, and gives quick access to important spells (but you have to use the mouse).

For example when I play Warlock my spellbook contains the Mana control dicipline, then my first bar contains combat spells and my second bar contains non-combat spells, buffs and debuffs.

Example:

Haha, I just want to protect ppl around me... like if they have Serpent/Magma on them, it reduces the DoT dmg by 10, which sometimes will save their life
