Well, thank god for that. The DR system doesn't appear to be very effective in world PVP nor do the short cooldowns and unlimited targets on those spells help much to prevent it from becoming an aoe cc fest. No regard for DR's when you can overwrite shockwave, shadowfury, and ring of frost by three different mages - seeing stun durations of zero seconds that still CC'd me. Fight goes longer, cooldowns are so short, those warlocks you just killed are ready to spam it all again while your defensives are on cooldown for another minute.@heyaz they posted that conquest and heroic will be very similar in stats. Only Mythic will be higher, but only slightly. Along with them removing some cc abilities and I believe its the AOE ones that are going to take the hit that will be helpful to boxers.
These days I run into large fights with aura mastery, windwalk, IBF, and AMS already popped with unholy blight and start doing damage because once those protections are down, it's gg. I much prefer the fights where either they don't have stacked classes to aoe cc or they aren't using it and they carefully cc and pick off healers and separate the group and we fight to the death that way.
Never understood why they went so overboard with aoe cc, especially stun. Fear isn't really an issue for me anymore - 5 targets only, 9 raid-wide breaks, and 10 of the 15 can break or immune it up to 11 times. Aoe stun, disorient, disarm, and silence pretty much sucks no matter what...
and it doesn't just affect boxers - look at the pretty much standard, game winning aoe CC orchestration used by RBG teams. I remember watching RBG tournaments on stream where it all came down to... both teams trying to lure each other into gorefiend's grasp, ring of frost, solar beam, ursol's vortex... whoever scored that instant aoe cc cheesefest changed the outcome.
