Doing a heroic the other day- Temple of Sethraliss , pretty much everything in there was immune to my toolkit. Only thing I had going for me was KICK.
Blind: IMMUNE
Sap: IMMUNE
Stealthed garrote: IMMUNE
Cheap shot: IMMUNE
Kidney shot: IMMUNE
meanwhile the other classes were rattling of stuns & silences like they just won the lottery…….felt really useless.
They’re immune to cc categories, not to your specific cc. If someone else can silence, stun, incap, disorient, whatever a specific mob then you can too. Stuns still have diminishing returns in pve. Some silences also work as interrupts (kick) on mobs immune to silence, garrote does not.
Also note that bosses are immune to pretty much everything except interrupts.
You can stun the archers and those dudes who cast chain lightening.
WOOHOO! Thank Cthulhu I’m not alone! I only started playing this game a month ago and I thought I was doing something wrong so I’m glad I’m not alone. But hey that doesn’t mean I’m not garbage…but I digress.
protip: if a mob’s level is 121 it’s immune to most crowd control.
the issue you’re describing is diminishing returns, ie: the first time a crowd control is used it has full effect, second use 50% effect, 3rd use 75% and 4th use it will do nothing.
