Make Cyclone dispellable!!Follow

Can the rogue stuns be dispelled? Can ALL stuns from the game be dispelled? If so, Cyclone can be. If not, why would cyclone be?

Cyclone is only 6 seconds and you can't be hurt while in cyclone, so really it's just a nuisance, like a hunter ice trap. What makes me mad is fear. That needs a longer cooldown. You lose control, and get killed while you're at it. Either it needs a longer CD or you should be immune like Cyclone. Fear is a much bigger problem than cyclone.

Rogue stuns are instant, Cyclone takes 1.5 seconds (1.4 seconds with Gladiator Gloves).

Grats, you just killed afflict locks in pvp. Rogue stuns are just as bad, except they can blind AND chain stun!

Honestly, I think the current situation, with all 3 classes, is fine. Cyclone works fine to me, lasts 6 secs, 3 secs, 1 and then useless. Might be strong in 2v2 or even 3v3 but Bliz did say that those 2 would be near impossible to make balanced.

=P None of you guys have a funny bone in your bodies... =(

Imagine the possibilities of a jumping Cyclone!!!

People can take damage when feared. nothing can damage it while it is cycloned.

To me that makes it fair. You can't be healed, but you also cant be hurt.

2,000 white crit.
3,000 Mortal Strike crit.
2,500 Whirlwind crit.
2,000 White crit.
6,000 Execute crit.

That's my combat log from two hours ago in Arathi Basin. He wasn't wearing the zerker buff nor was I. I was in Cat form, trying to bring down a Priest with way too much resilience and the Warrior snuck up on me.

Had about 1,500 health left when the Execute crit landed. In Cat form I have a total of about 9,500 health. He killed me in five hits, three of them being special attacks.

That's nothing, though. My Warlock has roughly 9,000 health and he got two-shotted by a Hunter. 3,999 Aimed Shot crit, I **** you not. No debuffs, not zerker buffs. It was in Alterac Valley during the Horde offense on Stormpike Graveyard. Roll over. Play dead. Kthx.

The fact that you're not terribly good at PvP is not something I'd be entering into a discussion about PvP balance, ever. This isn't the first time, nor will it be the last, but you're just awful at it. It doesn't prove the strength (or lack thereof) of any class insomuch as it proves that you just blow.

Ignoring how you'd need ~3,000 AP on a target with zero armor or Resilience to hit that hard with a 3.6 2H (and that's off the white hits - you don't do that much more damage with Whirlwind, period, even with Impale you're looking at ~50 damage more), if by some chance a [Class X] got five crits in a row on you the chance of you living is... I'm going to go with 'minimal'. Get some Resilience and try this PvP thing again, you'll find it works wonders.



Dis.

It's not so much that it's an insanely powerful defensive CC - it's incredibly good, but in that area it's not gamebreaking. What makes it so strong is that you can use it as offensive CC to prevent that person from receiving any heals for the duration as well, which essentially negates the impact of DR in smaller arenas.

HARP was nerfed almost exclusively because of its impact in 3v3 (and 2v2, to a lesser extent). Rogues still largely sucked in 5v5.

"We only balance around 5v5" was an outdated argument after Blizzard realized that despite their intentions to make WoW a serious 'e-sport' was hampered by the fact that 5v5 is almost impossible to follow for spectators. 3v3 is much, much cleaner and easier to keep track of, and has been the focus of some serious balancing efforts and attention because of that.

Druids need a boost in 5v5. Making them weaker in 2v2 and stronger in 5v5 would be on the whole a rather welcome change, but at the moment something like 70%+ of the 2v2 teams above 2000 have a Druid in them. That's evidence of some serious problems.
