What is up with resto druid having a on demand cc chain

So i am queing shuffle on disc priest and i’ve noticed that resto druid can literally turn off their brain and w key you

And almost without fail unless your dps are helping you just get a free clone chain cause of mighty bash.

I’ve also noticed that priest cannot do that at all all i have by the looks of it is physic scream.

Sounds like the spec and class needs more nerfs.

Guy was literally w keying me around the pillar spamming mighty bash cause he did it before i could fear.

Ps: why does cyclone not have a cd in the first place? repentance has a cd cap totem and hex have a cd

Another upside to resto and downside to priest is that priest can get full ricardo you got that’d by mages with poly the entire game and all druid has to do is shift unless the druid gets dragons breathed first.

You got that healing i need that cc so give it to me.

You’re right that disc can’t do this but I’m assuming that’s the trade off for actually contributing to kills

Holy priest - chastise fear
MW - incap, sweep, song
Hpal - hoj, rep, blind
Rsham - cap totem, hex
Rdruid - bash, roar, clone

Idk if you really needed that but basically every healer not disc has a chain and bash is melee range so besides out of stealth it’s actually not the easiest to pull off

I’d say being able to lock me out of the game for like 9 seconds at a time because you have a instant cast stun and i don’t is contributing far more to a “kill” than anything i could do.

And you are free to just w key me around the pillar like he did because both of your team mates are perfectly fine cause you are on a hot class that actually casts aproximately 0 times per game.

Also cant really be poly’d or hexed because of shapeshift sooo what even is this class?

SW:D, MD, MC / Purge / Fear & PW:S are pretty insane tools for a healer. The rest of the healthbar moving stuff kinda changes between the expansions but those fundamental spells have ensured disc // priest has had a place pretty much every season give or take some absolute awful tuning / mana issues.

What on earth does “w key” mean.

like they’re just holding down W, to move forward. not pressing anything else.

It means running in the forward direction in my direction.

The druid was just w keying with a mixture of the d keying me around the pillar until finally he had me at his whim while my arms warrior and dh where not helping at all to just spam cyclone.

fear has longer range, if you see him w keying you, you press fear before him, or you fade. you can also void tendril root him so he has to use a global to shift the roots.

It doesn’t.

Fear is 8 yards, Mighty Bash is 10.

Most RDruids are using the Astral Influence talent.

so every stun?

sounds like you’re playing with people that don’t create pressure or you don’t enable them to do pressure.

Because no rdruid should ever be allowed to just w key at you.

Playing Arms/DH and getting "w key’ by a rdruid. I don’t think druid cc is the issue here.

lol, there’s no time to CC anymore.

your teams dps must have doin crap if that druid was able to chase u around

if you go for a CC, someone is guaranteed to die.

From my experience disc might just be one of the best solo healer but they not easy to play. The good disc priest are extremely aggressive and doing almost as much dps as dps players. If played right I almost feel like the druid will never have time to cc you.

This is a teammate problem. Not every balance point in the game can be solved by 1v1 situations
Rdruids are weak to swaps on hots and have weak healing unless they run low verse so are squishy. If he w key you your team needs to swap to him

Literally, tell your partners ‘if druid pushes in he wants to stun me swap to him while I run back and if he gets the stun off kick him until I am out of stun’ and that will help

I’m sorry that happened to you if you need help with the problem call the # below.

Outplay him, fade the bash and you just wasted his time and cooldowns

ppl acting like OP is just bad but he has a point. There is a reason rdruid is the master of 2s. And right now we are so busted that even in 3s we can make tons of mistakes and still get free clones because are hps is so high

You have a spammable cc as Priest. Mind Control is really good and you need to use it. You have better cc than the Druid all things considered. Its super busted in Blades Edge. It also has the unintended benefit of dc’ing targeted players on occasion.
