[TWW] Please remove the "15% Damage Reduction when affected by Crowd Control" gem

PVP Arenas

Hello,

The War Within will introduce 3 PVP unique gems:

https://www.wowhead.com/news/2-sockets-craftable-on-rings-and-necks-in-the-war-within-and-new-unique-gems-338811

PvP Diamonds

  • Primary Stat and +15% Damage Reduction when affected by Crowd Control
  • Primary Stat and opponent’s failed interrupt attempts grant Precognition
  • Primary Stat and getting snared increases damage of your next attack by 2267 per stack

The first one would push even more towards the “just do damage” meta and will disincentivize setups.

Maybe it would be best to address the micro CC/disruptions instead.

I can already see the solo shuffle whispers “you noob, why did you stun the kill target???”

There’s got to be a better way, please reconsider this effect

Thanks

Totally Agree, the gem will ruin the game, otherwise please give frost mages a PvP talent so our spells don’t slow and give the kill target a permanent 15% wall

I don’t think slows count as crowd control.

Assuming it works like echoing resolve (there’s no auras datamined yet) it will only work for full cc - horrify, silence, trap, poly, clone, fear, stun.

Not roots or slows or knockbacks.

Just change it to:

  • Primary Stat and +35% Damage Reduction when affected by Kidney or Cheap Shot

No changes to CC would ever be necessary if damage had been kept in line. WoW PvP changes since BfA S4 are like using a fire extinguisher on one’s flaming bed while the kitchen stove is what started the fire and the entire house is burning and crashing down.

Slows are a cc, as are roots, fears, etc

16

Give the man some credit. Upon closer inspection you will discover that he clearly ratios himself on a regular basis

They… they aren’t though. Slow doesn’t constitute a “loss of control” effect

ummmm… like yourself……?

what in tarnation is homie blathering about

While slows are a form of positional crowd control, they are not loss of control. Roots, however, show up on the loss of control frame, and so might trigger the damage mitigation.

In Bfa I know at least ele frost root could proc adaptation, but I don’t know that any roots in df still do that
