Though if you wanna keep metal the way it is? Just make the spell a bit easier to spot tbh. That's half of it's whole tom shittery as someone who uses it, I can rarely see it, maybe if it was a charged spell with a flashy charge up. But then people would complain about new chains that could be made with it. Why not just remove everything that you can't basic strike to death?
Otherwise, no one tree/playstyle should be overwhelming to all others. Metal/Gravity has it's weaknesses and it's strengths. Low-Medium assured damage if you get your combos off. Just like any other skills you can chain together. Space Teleports + Shockwave types, AoE stacking, Homings and evasions, Sustain and drains, C.C. chains, combo bursts. It's rock-paper-scissors and you just gotta find it's counter.
The stun timer just needs to be balanced and equal to other stuns... Especially when it's easier to land.
And if that's all your relying on metal, you probably need to practice your verbing skills a little more.
At the end of the day, consider verbing isn't everything and just rp though! Even if you're nerfed. :)
The stun timer isn't the problem most people are having. It's the timing chain. Rooting someone into another root doesn't seem to work, stun into another stun doesn't work. BUT a Root into a stun done right can have the root timer reset, and stun into root can do the opposite for stun as well.
It goes to stand on both ends as well, if you can't stand fighting against people who like to utilize stuns (Both in game, and the out of game stun where you're yelling at your screen at how long the combo lasts), then don't focus solely on fighting them. It's just a game bruh, don't need to be a god tier verber, just not be a shit tier RPer that relies solely on verb skills/builds to make a difference IC.
