There’s no reason all 3 specs shouldn’t have these abilities all the time.
In this meta every class has so much instant CC. Warlocks use to be the CC kings and we’ve been stript of that with every class gaining so much instant CC besides us.
Demon Armor was baseline for Warlock for so long and out of no where they took it away for no reason. Do other classes have their main mitigation as a PvP talent? It would allow for Warlocks to choose different PvP talents but instead were forced into the two we need to even play the game. While we’re at it, I shouldn’t need a PvP talent to put UA on multiple targets.
Not sure about shadowfury, that is pretty strong for a class with spammable CC and permaslow. I’d like it, no doubt. Not sure it’s good for the game though.
Yeah of course it’s bad for the game when warlock has it, but all the other classes with even stronger INSTANT CC are fine or what?
Spammable CC lost it’s strength over the years with the amount of stops everyone has.
Have you ever tried actually getting a fear off and seen the average time it takes to get one off these days?
Instant CC is always much, MUCH stronger than CC on a cast bar. The only exception is mage because not only has he 3 spell schools for his CC (Fire), he also has access to shimmer, and Poly lasts 2s longer than Fear…
We had all of that before this team ruined the game in the legion expansion. I think that was right after ion said we dont want people playing demonology.
It seems awsome having it baseline in classic. I am excited for the burning crusade one though cause instant cast shadowfury that deals aoe shadow damage and stuns targets is much better than any other version that this current developer team has ever made.
Lets face they suck, they broke the game and we will just have to wait till they leave in the future because they don’t know nothing about game lore or classes. All these developers care about it pushing out content and breaking the game more. That’s y I say make a new team or kick them out because they r bad
Which spammable CC are we talking about? Polymorph? Hibernate? Cyclone? Imprison?
Spammable (PvE) CC is fairly common among DPS now, and none have the downsides of fear in PvE (that mobs run around and aggro other mobs) - none require babysitting. PvP fear breaks with a slight cough, but is nowhere close to the power level of cyclone, for instance. Shadowfury has an extremely long cooldown, being instant cast should be a no-brainer decision. Cast times in this game are getting shorter and shorter in PvE - shadowfury can almost never be used to interrupt because by the time you align your spell reticle the ability you’re attempting to stop has gone off. In practice warlocks just cast it randomly in packs to help tanks out and by luck happen to stop a cast.
EDIT: forgot to mention that its cast time and spell school also makes it something that can be interrupted to shut down all offense and defense of the warlock, which is godawful for PvP, just like fear.
how is it bad, it has a long cooldown, plus warriors, rogues and all melee have insane instant cc with low cooldowns plus silences. So I dont understand this can make a huge difference. We are the only class with casting stun which always gets interrupted
