I wish cheapshot didn’t share dr with kidneyshot.
Play a healer in PvP if you need additional context. We need your help to make queues go faster!
No, no. I’m talking about this:
What is this stupid statement?
Additional context is not needed. Its more that you are incorrect in stating that CC is ONLY used to lock down healers.
That is not how it happens in PVE or PVP.
Dungeons used to be challenging progression and you had to be tactical. Now theyre just a race track.
Uh oh, did someone say something wrong on the internet again?
If you only do trivial dungeons and refuse to do challenging content, you are correct.
Also you have to greatly embellish “tactical”. Dungeons were never tactical by default. Or challenging.
Never

The first BRD run ever was tactical then through the year Blizz tried to keep that feeling but the players figured out the recipe and you cant put the genie back in the bottle.
I mean. Ok.
But I would still say that dungeon runs today are still “tactical”. One just has to be willing to do the content.
For sure doing 30s will require planning but its a cookie-cutter recipe. Unless Blizz comes up with a new style of end-game that isnt dungeon or raids.
Edit: they said something like plunderstorm for pve is coming. Curious about that.
But dungeons always had the cookie cutter recipe then. Since day 1.
In one +25 key, you will use more active CC use than needed in every dungeon from the before-CM/M+ days combined.
You will see sap/imprisons, you will see Mind Soothes, you will see Psychic Scream used as an AoE interrupt, a CC ability that used to wipe groups in the Cataclysm and before days being used as a means to save them now.
But in trivial content, you don’t even need thwm on your bars.

Yea the recipe only got better. Basically AoE CC and AoE damage from pack to pack.
Only the perceived difficulty changed from not knowing to knowing.
WoW was my first and only MMO so maybe some players came from other MMOs knowing how to clear a dungeon.
