Encase and Rune Prison

[Wolfstorm]

What is the difference between these two? Besides one being for area and the other for a single enemy, both do exactly the same thing, which is to stun the target for a given time.

[Psyringe]

Different cost. Different duration. Different types of targeting. Different effects (one stuns, the other immobilizes). Different avoidance mechanics (one can be dodged, the other can't). Different immunities to account for (e.g. flying creatures, bosses). Different morphing options. The two skills are actually quite different from each other.

Encase does _not_ stun the targets, it immobilizes them. It's an important difference because immobilized enemies can still perform actions that don't require movement and can thus continue to damage you with ranged attacks and spells (or even melee, if you stay close enough to them). Stunned enemies can't.
