Being frozen for 10s straight and dying is not fun.
Being feared and dying is not fun.
DR YOUR CC!!!
You have taken enough from WoW, take DR too.
I don’t even care if you make it a legendary power. CC NEEDS A DIMINISHING RETURN!
MATH IS NOT HARD PEOPLE!!!
Gonna throw in my agreement here.
There is a HEINOUS amount of CC going out from mobs that we just flat out don’t have the reflexes or ability to mitigate or account for, especially when FOUR elite banshees spawn ON TOP of you on WT4 and they all have frozen, that stupid idiotic bubble shield and/or terrifying.
It’s like they didn’t learn a damn thing from D3.
Yeah, it’s problematic. Frozen, Stunned. Feared. YOU can mostly dodge it all. Except when you run into packs that are off setting ability casts. Dodge is only so useful.
Unstoppable is mandatory in every build or you’ll simply die.
Right but if your class doesn’t have but one unstoppable capable skill, on a cooldown, for your build, it’s like…they’re bragging about how we can 'play our way, ’ and then don’t give us the tools to do so.
I love a challenge. I am level 72 destroying WT4 doing nightmare dungeons and helltides, but when I see that stupid purple shield on an elite, much less one with frozen and then one with that stupid wind wall, I just leave.
used to bother me but with a couple unstoppable sources its aight
Pick a support ability that gives you unstoppable!
Most classes have one that does the job. Also, use your dodge key, because most of the CC abilities are telegraphed, meaning you can easily get out of range before they go off.
you have unstoppable you can spam?
get frozen, use unstoppable spell, get frozen again, manage to tank the damage, frozen again dead.
Incredibly stupid design.
If you’re getting frozen that many times, then this is clearly a skill issue.
I’m not even that great at this game, but I can observe abilities well enough that I’m not getting CCed all the time and only need to use my CC break when it’s critical for me to do so.
What WT are you on, what is your class?
I’m guessing rogue or sorc.
Who have extra, easy, bountiful ways to get distance away from CC fields. …with one single skill point. Sorc can deep freeze, frost armor, molten armor, teleport…Please, just don’t.
PLEASE don’t come up in here being condescending. You think every person commenting here and all the other threads with concerns about the very real problem of too much unavoidable CC are all just bad and you’re super good?
Please…
They didn’t learn a damn thing, period.
Yes most freeze abilities are heavily telegraphed and easy to avoid because of it. I very rarely get frozen.
So you’re playing on WT, what, 2 or 3?
Where you don’t have wind wall, terrifying AND frozen telegraphs going off on confined hallways where there is literally no place to go and nothing you can do if your “unstoppable” cooldown is ON cooldown?
Oh…and not to mention webs…
To add further, there is a lot of visual clutter going on especially when there are multiple elites and smaller mobs. You can BARELY see anything except the frost circles because the other telegraphs are covered up by mobs or barely lit. Big mob about to wind up and cc you? Too bad you can’t see it because the screen is a mess.
There’s a reason MMO’s make the telegraphs incredibly obvious and bright red.
Your first problem was choosing to fight in a confined hallway. You restricted yourself and limited your mobility options, meaning you’d need to use your unstoppable abilities just to avoid the CC in such a confined space.
Part of this game is knowing ‘where’ to fight. If I see enemies with CC modifiers, I draw them out to larger areas where I have more space to run around and use my dodge ability.
Agree with OP. If you have a class with really good unstoppable/movement breaks it doesnt seem to be too much of any issue in general but for high tier WT4 sacreds it is rough. Mob density is high, cannot even see the floor, mixed in multi aspects of fear/freeze/explosions and whatever the sigil mechanics are tossing at you.
Frame of reference is as arc lash sorc still gearing in 60s. If my CDR was higher I could have enough breaks to keep cycling but some dense elite packs are just nuts.
Well no sh*t…There is most certainly not always an open convenient room nearby where the mobs don’t leash back to deal with them in.
Freakin’ LISTEN to what people are saying here and stop being condescending.
In most dungeons there actually are.
I’ve not encountered a single dungeon so far where there isn’t a larger room close by that I can duck into or run back to, and if an enemy leashes, that’s also fine? It means you can approach the enemy that you now know is there from a different angle.
If you’re going to lash out at people though, you might want to take a break. It’s not my fault that you’re playing poorly and getting CCed when you’ve got plenty of ways to make sure that doesn’t happen.
This, along with affixes like Stormbane, drifting shade, ground fissure and lightning storm are just wild design flaws. They are not fun, they are not challenging. They are annoying. Nothing more, nothing less.
They are annoying for different reasons, but primarily it’s because they are just difficult to see or force us in to a situation where affects from our current encounter will amplify and likely just kill us. Ground fissure, you have corpses EVERY where, ground effects (fire wall / blizzard) and are just focusing on your encounter (as at high levels mobs one shot you easily). Stop adding additional crap we need to keep track of. We’re not Olympic gamers.
If you want to annoy people out of your game. Feel free to keep crap like these three affixes and perpetual enemy CC in the game. It will work quite well 
Blizzard what are you doing?
On one hand you guys are trying to make something different from previous Diablo games. Trying to bring something fresh, less repetitive, less monotone but attractive at the same time.
On the other hand we got you guys trying to achive the above by paying a bunch of game designers and developers with no idea whatsoever on what the hell they are doing to the game… This is just STUPID. There is no excuse on designing such affixes but from someone that has never played and will never play the game.
It honestly feels like whoever designed this stupid CC affixes and BS was just trying to screw you guys from Blizzard
What’s funny is that every elite in the game has diminishing returns, just not the players.
