Tesla Cage?

Tesla Cage is the most (in)famous of all Electric Holds, I think its place is deserved despite the horribly long animation.

It's only .1 slower than Strangler & Fossilize, but blast it if it doesn't feel super slow. I would much rather have shocking bolt as well... 1.67 vs 2.17.

I think it's alright. The effects from the animation are different than anything else in the game and the hold animation is actually slightly different from the traditional tesla cage. Sure it's kind of long but it's really not bad.

I really like the Tesla Cage animation and effects. I understand how it is to hate a particular animation though. It can be a deal-breaker. I just happen to be lucky on this one. I'd be fine with Shocking Bolt style animations also.

It's not just the super long animation time (especially since it doesn't have the guaranteed -recovery that its counterparts have ) But its also the animation, while "may" be fun on one enemy, with it having controller stats, its just WAY too overbearing on a mob with multiple tesla cages around them, needs changed asap

No opinion either way.

I actually get the Tesla Cage effect more often on my non-Electric Controllers than the Electric one I'm playing at the moment because of the 'Chance to Hold' procs. At least Tesla Cage can be recolored to make it less obtrusive if you want.

Thanks for answering my unasked question about why my Gravity controller was occasionally getting Tesla Cage animations when firing off my holds recently. I thought it was a bug from a recent patch - but the real reason is that I used the recent freespec to respec into sets with "Chance to Hold" procs. Mystery solved - thanks Tex!
