Silence needs to be changed so that it can be purged. Not this
profanity dumb change. If your silence isn't up and you are getting MoC'd on, your groupmate's silence will save you. After these changes your groupmate won't be able to give you their free EM5.
Couple ways to do this.
1. Change it back to 100% NS on a different immunity than normal NS. That way it can be purged or cured.
2. Change it so you cannot use damaging spells for the duration. Cure silence/ns ability cures it. Or you can purge it.
Silence is necessary in today's game to negate the flow of caster damage. Casters can debuff 50%. Tanks cannot. Their damage isn't affected by AF and ABS (disregarding bolts).
Honestly if those goes live we are back to everyone running MoC5 and just MoC'ing down everything in the backfield with nothing to negate a MoC besides stun and FZ. And there are already only so many FZ's in a group. Alb and Hib typically only have 1 each. And stuns don't come close to covering the duration of MoC.
