Got a question specifically to this quote.

I've always been under the impression, Diminishing Returns is based on effects which the target is subject to, not to one specific character subjecting the target to whatever.

As in, anyone pvp snares/fears/whatever you, you are subject to the maximum 8 second effect.
If within the same diminishing returns window, the same effect lands on you (from anyone), you now can be affected for 4 seconds.
And so on...

If you have a five warlock team.
You cannot chain fear a single target.
With one fear from:
- Warlock A... 8 seconds.
- Warlock B... 8 seconds.
- Warlock C... 8 seconds.
- Warlock D... 8 seconds.
- Warlock E... 8 seconds.
Which if diminishing returns were based on the same caster only, would mean you are out of the first warlocks 30 second diminishing return window and he could fear you for another full duration fear.
Pretty sure that's not how it works.
