Unavoidable CC

LegendaryMage · March 2015

Hi all,

I am not sure about the Templar class, but here's a little bit about certain 'huge' imbalances that I have noticed:

DKs - Petrify, goes through block, can be chain casted forever, requires breakfree + rolldodge to remove the immobilizing effect, is an instant cast. Breaks on damage.

NBs - Mass Hysteria, goes through block, forces you to stop blocking, is an aoe, snares. Does not break on damage.

Templars - I don't know honestly, maybe nothing worthwhile right now, please look into.

Sorcerers - Rune Prison, breaks on damage, is not an AOE, does not have a 2nd component such as snare, and has a cast time. Not sure if it goes through block , I wouldn't be surprised if not.

Please rework this skill a bit and give sorcerers equal counters. Remove cast time, add 2nd component to it upon ending. Make it worthwhile on our bars. I'm not sure if any sorcerer is even now using it in 1.6.

Disclaimer: I play a full stamina sorcerer and enjoy it very much, but it is simply impossible for me to compete versus certain types of opponents (mainly almost all NBs and DKs).

templars has no CC, other than our spear - how about give temps some unnavoidable CC or some insta-non target CC? Cos atm we're losing the CC fest - but hey, we're winning the lazor fest

edit:

and by my comment I agree wholeheardetly that it's stupid only certain class can have unavoidable CC when you think about PvP - either you can avoid the CC being thrown in your face (if you're good) or all gets the option of at least 1 class based unavoidable CC. But I think it should only belong in the WW tree anyways, not as a class skill at all.

Just my 2c, and isnt meant as a NB nerf, more about design choice/"meta" balance

You should be comparing to NB Agony.

Has a cast time, only hits one target, broken on damage. Pretty much sucks.

LOL

So Templar styled fear needed? Can call it "holy shaming"

Yeah, I know. Same as Rune Prison. But you got Mass Hysteria and DKs got Petrify. What about templars and sorcerers? We're talking top notch skills here, unavoidable unless cc immune or you're perfect at spamming immovable and keeping eyes on the CC immunity indicator that lasts for 5 seconds.
