After a cc finishes it takes ~18s for it to be fully effective again for that cc category.

If that target is cc’d again it will refresh the timer.

Green = half duration/effectiveness

Yellow = 1/4 duration

Red = target is immune

Are all of these on the same cc DR?

there’s a sticky about cc categories

Crowd Control & Diminishing Returns

When you’re affected by a crowd control effect in PvP, there’s an 18-second window for diminishing returns on further effects from the same category. Additional CC effects used on you while diminishing returns are active are reduced in duration: first by 50%, and then by 75%. Each CC effect resets the 18-second window to its full duration, and if you are affected by three CC’s of the same category inside that 18-second window, you will be immune to further effects from that category until the 18…

Blind is on the Fear DR.
Sap is on the Incap DR
Cheap Shot is on the Stun DR (shared with Kidney Shot, for example.)

So, for example. If a Rogue Saps you, a mage’s polymorph, or a paladin’s Repentance, will only be 1/2 duration until that DR resets. You can be CC’d by the same school a total of 3 times within a DR timeframe (18 seconds) before becoming immune. But! Every time a reduced-duration CC is applied the DR timer resets. (so lets say you wait 17 seconds after a sap ends, and land a polymorph on the same target, that’s a half duration polymorph, and now you have to wait 18 more seconds.)

It sounds more complicated than it is in practice.

Edit: just read the shared post I can’t write in an easily understood manner like that anyway.
