People which are against DR in this case here have absolutely no clues, about what they are talking.
They see the “problem” and yes its a massive problem here only out of their own personal view as players who have massive access to these hard cc’s and its natural that they start to defend that gameplay now, because they are fearing, that Anet could see this case in the same way, like us who want cc’s to be tone down and nerf the **** out of cc’s, so that they can’t be anymore those wannabe super godlike “skillful” cough pro’s that can win agaist players, that had from second 1 to their death absolutely 0 chance to do anything !!
Thats not skill pults, its toally pitiful to say, that something like this crap has anything to do with “skill”. It makes me laugh over everybody, who says, that this is skillful to abuse a bad cheap game mechanic that is terribly balanced, if you want to speak of any balance here at all to be able to win agaisnt someone, who had never a chance to fight back, cause of being unable to move, unable to use skills andunable to make a dodge roll, while lieign on the ground flat…
Heck, even while lieing on the ground I should be still able to make at least a kittening dodge roll to the sides to be able to kittenign escape that perma catching cc’s perhaps.
The game has way too much CC’s Immobilize belongs completely removed out of the game. Knockdown and Stun are more than enough as hard. As Soft CC’s are also Cripple and Chill more than enough, Fear is OP and obsolete and should get its effect changed.
GW1 also hadnt so extreme much CC’s and also had only Knockdowns and Stuns basically and it played out that way very well and felt not too much, nor too less, it was exactly right.
Just give those Classes that lose Fear more access to Cripple&Chill and those that lose immobilize more access to Stun/Daze and everythign would be alot better for the beginning.
Reduce then slightly the durations of the hard and soft CC’s, remove all Buff items from WvW finally as a counterweight for that change and add DR to hard CC’s and then we could start to speak of balance and skillful playing, when getting perma hard CCed isn’t possible anymore.
Its a bad JOKE to tell someone, who doesn’t want to get perma knockdowned, that he has to use specific Buff Food and waste all of his Rune Slots for a specific Rune Set first, only to be not eating permanently the grounds dust!!
As said, if Anet should never put DR to hard CC’s, I demand the removal of DR from Stealth, because that was an effective counterplay to avoid being hit by hard CCs, when the foe can’t see and target you, that was of the same cheesy and “skillful” level, as like perma spamming hard cc’s is >.>
Seriously people, get real finally and stop trying to block needed game changes, only because they would mean some nerfs to some classes.
Nerfs are important to balance the whole game and not just only single classes.
CC’s affect ALL CLASSES and not just only those that are able to spam CC’s like crazy…
And alot of the Classes have nearly no to absolutely no good access to condition remove or stun breakers so oftenly, as like the other side is able to spam the CC’s.
if we in the defense would be able to spam as much cleanses and stunbreakers, like the other side is able to spam CC’s, then we wouldn’t have this “problem” at all, because then the game would be on a 50/50 balance, but this is here simply not the case.
Tjhe game is more like currently in a 10/90 relation, where you get on every condi clean /stunbreaker 9 hard CC’s spammed instantly in your face with the follow, that you like dead on the ground, cause the only classes, that are able to mitigate all those 9 spammed CC’s over the course of time, are the soldier classes, that are also able to spam them together so much, cause they have enough ways to block long enough attacks together with the dodge rolls, which simple most other classes have NOT.
Open your eyes and see this issue out of the view for once of all classes and not just only out of the view from the source of the problem, which are here warrios and guardians in most cases, followed by Thieves and Necromancers with their Stuns and Fears.
The biggest problem are Warriors and Guardians here as they together can just spam too often Knockdowns in a Zerg/Group.
But Warriors are in my opinion anyways in a general way to overpowered with their way too high mobility and Anets total most loved class, that may not get any scratchs on >.> But thats an other topic.
