Or at least, make them share the same DR as stuns. Playing casters suck. You get interrupted all of the time.
Don’t give me this bs about having tools to get range on melee, because that’s just not true. They have more gapclosers than we have tools to get away from them.
Interrupts are just 100% cancer. I sometimes struggle casting a single spell during a fight. And it becomes especially difficult when I die in a matter of a few seconds anyway.
Generally a warrior placing me into his Kyrian CC is enough to completely end me.
Classes that can kill me in like 4 seconds or less :
Arms Warriors
BM hunters (I’ve seen a 35k health hunter rapid fire me for 40k total. I guess he can kill himself with a single rapid fire.)
Sub rogues
Feral druids
Monks
Demon hunters
Ret paladins
And on top of that, all these guys have interrupts + stuns + other bs cc. Good luck casting a cc to prevent them from messing your day up.
Here’s a suggestion, Blizzard. Create one of the terrible hard caster, like an arcane mage or something, and give yourself basic PvP gear. Go have some fun in a BG, and then come back and balance your freakin game. Because you’ll see just how cancerous this is.

The healers already mostly don’t need to cast, and are taken down by stuns, or being oom, not interrupts.
And Chaos Bolts, how about you get good and use any of your other tools to avoid them? How about being forced to use one of your many gap closers to escape the cast?
Of course not. That’s far too complicated.

Interrupts exist for a reason. And they do have cooldowns. Like anything, you just have to learn to work around them.
Quite simply to interrupt a cast.

Don’t you have a stun and other forms of cc to prevent a cast?
As a ret paladin I have an interrupt and a stun.
Why not? Have you tried casting?
Cool. Remove Dark Pact. Remove health stones. Then sure.

Should give warlocks a melee spec. They seem to know how to balance melee a lot better than they do casters.

When you juke a cast. You’re kind of already cc’ing yourself. Because you don’t really have the intention to cast. And if your opponent doesn’t waste his interrupt. Well, sucks to be you! You wasted your time.
Fake casting shouldn’t even be necessary. I think damage spells should all be protected casts, and cc casts and heals should be the ones you can interrupt.
Also, stuns and silences = same DR

Yes, I played ele last season. Insanely easy to play casters in BG’s.
Interrupts are good for the game. Things like Rebuke, Kick, Mind Freeze… they create a good push and pull of Fake Casting vs Landing interrupts. That mini-game is skill based.
HOWEVER
too many pseudo interrutts in the game. It is NOT skillful when you juke a demon hunter only to get stunned, and stunned, and then imprisoned, and then oh look, his kick is back up again.
Those things shouldnt work to stop casts. I dont know how that works mechanically, but if you miss your kick, you SHOULD BE PUNISHED and there is not enough punishment for bad melee

There needs to be a global immunity of several seconds so that a stunned/interrupted/knocked down/silenced/etc. player can respond and a genuine fight can ensue. (A) player(s) shouldn’t be able to chain stun their victim to death; that’s just bad playing and bad design.
