Not a lot of people know about this, but the Keeper's Disruption Field (+Stasis Lock upgrade) can freeze just about anything, including bosses like the Demon Commander and Revenant. The only mobs it can't freeze are the huge Red Templar thingie and the Pride Demon.

 

Everything else gets frozen. Period.

 

Even with repeated attacks, they don't come out of it until the spell's entire duration is over. This doesn't match the Stasis Lock explanation entirely, but who cares? This spell can make most boss fights MASSIVELY easier.

 

Revenant two-shotting your Katari? Just pop that Disruption Field and you can whack him uninterrupted in peace.

 

That Demon Commander hitting-and-running your group to pieces? Disruption Field that four-armed bastard and focus down his health without fear of getting damaged.

 

But what about dozens of archers firing projectiles through the door at the last stage? Disruption Field the doorway and you can freeze all those pesky arrows in their tracks, buying your team some reprieve from ranged attacks.

 

Disruption Field should really be in the Support Keeper's core kit. It is one of the most useful spell in the game besides Barrier and can make an average PuG's life vastly easier.

I have seen this in action and it is wonderful.  The keeper has so many great team spells.  Static Cage is pretty great too, I had a Keeper and Necromancer who were just annihilating whole groups by Static Caging things in a cluster then Walking Bomb would go off and everything just disappeared in poofs of red mist.  Pull of the Abyss is cool for that too, but it's a little buggy.  I've noticed mobs will sometimes teleport out of Pull of the Abyss and end up where they would have been if they hadn't been caught.  The simple solution is to just kill everything before the abyss wears off, but it can be annoying to see a big guy suddenly appear in front of your archer from the opposite side of the courtyard mid swing and take your buddies down.

 

With a coordinated team it could be cool to run a pure utility Keeper with Barrier, Static Cage, Disruption Field, and maybe Dispel or Fadestep.

thats interesting to know, i will have a look at that when i get home and online. i play a keeper and have tried to set it up for as much support use as possible and let the others do the DPS. i found that we get much further if i concentrate on support rather than doing dps as a keeper. 

 

thanks for sharing the tip!

Nerf it! Nerf it with fire!

 

I put the keeper aside but I realized with Necromancer that Mind Blast is a cool spell for support, too. I think I still have a free ability slot for this to try.

What? It freezes projectiles in mid-air? Only hostile or those from your party too? Can you, like, put it on yourself and be safe from ranged attacks?

Thanks for this. I play mostly support Keeper and have left Fade Cloak in my fourth ability for last minute boss wipes party... ohh crap moments. If this is anything like grav ring/sphere from DA 2, I could definitely pick this up to add CC to my build instead. Cheers.

Possible the single best skill in multi, I've seen it so rarely but whenever I do it just is awesome.

Does the freeze effect from Stasis Field last 10s or 5s?  So many of the in-game descriptions are wrong it's hard to tell what a skill actually does.
