ManaPotato.3279 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 PvP is filled with CCs and aegises. Willbenders and Harbringers dominate and fill all roles at the same time. I mean I knew state of PvP unspeakably bad, but this is just straight kitten you to whoever clicks on that "play" button. It reminds me of WoD expanion of WoW where entire teams revolved around CC stunlocks and who has more of them. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhandiBot.6257 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I hear you. If only there was some way to break out of cc or have a boon that prevents it from happening. Hmmmmm.... 🤔 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to discredit valid complaints by pairing them up with something obviously false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also shocked but also don't think you're safe. Wars had dozens of people whining about endure pain and Revenant had their Infuse Light fiasco, wait until people find out you can F3 - > Renewed Focus - > F3 for 10 seconds of undownable by any means.

Kozumi.5816 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 CC is universally higher cooldowns than CC breaks, and you can slot more CC breaks than nearly any weapon set has CC. CC being weak is one of the biggest issues with this games PvP. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get stunlocked and killed in a 1v1, you probably got outplayed. CC alone will not kill you, it doesn’t do any damage. Well timed combos and boon stacking into a landed stun will kill you. You aren’t being CC’d to death, rather, you are dying when CCd. Some solutions to your in-game struggles; dodge the CC, put in stab to stop the CC, use another mitigation to stop the CC (blind, block, aegis, invulnerable, evade skill), use a stun break. If you find yourself; out of dodges, out of stun breaks, out of CC, out of blinds, out of blocks, or out of panic buttons, and you get CC’d then killed, you were almost certainly outplayed.

Sahne.6950 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) take a look at Rangers stunbreaks and Stabi.....(WvW-split) Protectme: 24 seconds, quickdraw 24 aswell, Flipping DOLYAKSTANCE THAT GIVES 6 Seconds of stabi AAAAND Stunbreaks:30 seconds... Now add the fact that you can actually dodge the CC skills and dont get hit by them everytime, because there is blind/Aegis aswell and add a littlebit of Stability on top from The Elite, and now add that CC skills literally dont hurt and it suddenly becomes apparent that in the battle of CC vs. Stunbreaks & stabi. The Stunbreaks and stabi win by a mile! CC is imo pretty underwhelming atm. If you have stabi for example and use a CC skill on someone... NOTHING HAPPENS. They dont even receive damage. Sometimes you cant wait out a stabi and you literally have to cc someone twice to stop the enemy. But you essentially blew 2 HighCD skills to do 0 damage and knock the enemy down for 1 second.... WHAT IS THAT!?!? He just used a stunbreak and.... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENDE!!!! BLASPHEMY! I thought CC is overpowered! 😧 Edited April 5, 2022 by Sahne.6950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthan.5236 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) It sure can get annoying if you have a cc incoming every few seconds. But usually I think it is a necro chaining 2-3 fears. And a single enemy is not a problem - because after chaining they will have all of them a bit on a CD for a few more seconds. (Usually not tooo long though. CC has low cooldown and stunbreaks have higher cooldown.) 2 enemies (especially if it is 2 vs 1) chaining their CC are more annoying then. Feels like one always has a CC skill available that is no ton CD. But I guess it also depends on the class/profession and build and the team/setting. If you take a lot of stunbreak skills ... you can't use other stuff that might be better. If you take a lof of CC skills ... same. I just try to avoid 1 vs. 2 if I notice there are 2 people always running together and both of them spamming CC. Perma stability on the other hand (or even a good stunbreak that also gives a decent amount of stability) ... is a different thing. Really strong - I agree.

Mell.4873 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) Here is a tip, don't stun break unless absolutely you have to. This means you can soak up 2-3 stuns before you break them. Sometimes when I fight and become stunned I notice I'm taking 0 damage so I can just wait out the stun. Same with immobilize, most people don't capitalize on their stun anyway unless they group up so just break them when you need to move.

CutesySylveon.8290 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) I feel attacked lol I've been playing core warrior with Hammer and mace/mace with almost as much CC as I can fit and it can literally hold people in place for more than 15 seconds if they can't break. With the buffs to hammer, it can really hurt despite my hardest hitting CC skill being mace 3 at a whopping 300 damage.
