How powerful would the spell/ability 'Stop' be in this game?

[Dzian]

Unfortunately, SE said they don't want to make fights where you need a specific role to do something, so don't expect those skills to get much other uses. Likewise with Stop, unless it basically does the same thing as something else (bind, stun, etc.), it wouldn't really get actual use..

exactly. why bother having them if they don't intend making use of them.... it's why a lot of the "redundant" skills se is looking at removing / changing are the skills that have these effects. redundant because the effects are never useful.
