Honest question, I don’t raid, and I do low keys (nothing over a 6 usually) and we don’t see any CC there. So aside from arena and RBGs, is it used anywhere?
I’m asking because I miss the old dungeons where a failure to CC meant death. It seems the game has moved away from that, and I just need to understand it is what it is. But I was thinking about the great old days of BRD and wondered if CC is used in PVE at all anymore.
It’s used plenty in M+. It’s literally used quite a bit this week to lock down the Inspiring mob while priority casters are killed before bringing the Inspiring mob into the group for cleave.
I use CC without thinking all the time. Once you get in the habit you will find out it helps a ton on soloing stuff. Now only the other 2/3 population start using it in lfr. I tired being feared into death mobs as a dps.
Raiding encounters in SL off the top of my head Huntsman in Castle Nathria and Soulrender (mythic) in SoD. Sometimes tank will ask me to poly inspired mob or if I talent into Ring of Frost on spiteful I will put it down so we can pass through on narrow pathways so we save a little bit of time in m+.
I use sheep to disrupt dangerous casts a lot. Poly isn’t used for long duration CC anymore, but if you’re not using CC as cast disruption you’re not going to make it far in M+.
