Ring of Frost is stun now?

Hey, everyone!

Funny situation happened in another Solo Shuffle, was round against assa rog and frost mage, insteresting that mage freezed us, placed ROF and just cleave us with Ice Lances + Frozen Orb, also full assa’s bleeds were on us with him near, refreshing that bleeds and ROF didn’t break for it’s full duration…

It’s because all CC now doesn’t instantly break from damage. Another completely braindead change made by the overlords.

A lot of these changes aren’t very good imo. Seeing a trap not break by damage feels awkward and bad for the game. It just rewards mistakes and I know it’s to make up for all the built in AoE into spells because of M+, but it still feels bad.

I had to trinket a freezing trap because it wouldnt break even though the mm was htting me through it with rapid fire. Fun game indeed

Just checking, are you sure you weren’t stunned by snowdrift talent?

It’s actually so funny.

A long time ago I did bug testing for a private server and they had this one bug where if you were in a Ring of Frost freeze but had dots on then they’d continue to tick, so mages would use that as an actual stun and let you rot a little bit before bursting you down. It was busted. It also didn’t break from cleave damage.

It was flagged as a bug and eventually fixed. But now we have it in retail too :´)

Of course, I track all debuffs on me.

yeah most of the changes they’ve made recently have been specifically aimed at helping mentally incompetent players in solo content and they just make the game worse

Why when I see one gnome post a comment there always seems to be a second one pop up? I’m noticing a pattern.

They are like small mushrooms, growing in groups.

Do you think the solo brackets will kill arena, or kill 3s exclusively, but shuffle lives on?

I think 3v3 will always be the publicized bracket regardless

They’ll stop doing blizzcon awc before they move it over to solo brackets and I doubt the solo brackets ever or at least for several expansions get real rewards

but with that said solo is easier and has a non existent barrier to entry so it’ll always vacuum up the lower end of the ladder

tldr is just no I think what it is now is what it’s always going to be where nobody cares about solo and it offers no rewards but it has overall more population than 3v3

Shuffle has R1 titles that are more rare than glad mounts, so it had some valuable rewards. Not including tank titles, but it’s easy to find out what someone got it as by checking their xp on checkpvp.

I guess there will always be that dedicated small bunch of 3s players tho, so I agree with you that the bracket will live on through them. Kind of like how 2s still has a dedicated group that still play it despite not being very active.

Seems like CC needs to be toned down yet again. It has only increased since they made all those reductions (that were basically made void by the trinket bonus changes).

Now, CC is more prevalent and all acts like a stun.

Almost time to put all cc on one DR
