Some of this is apparently making its way into 5.2

Official Blizzard Quote:

PvP CC Feedback
First things first, I want to make sure you’re aware that the information below reflects both short and long-term design considerations on our end. This isn’t all on the table for patch 5.2 for a number of reasons.

To make this clear right off the bat: This shift of instant casts back to cast times is not just targeted at crowd control. We also wish to start moving some heals back to having a cast time rather than being instant. That said, we’re not necessarily planning on overhauling many of the spells and abilities that have been instant for a long time now, such as Hand of Justice. We’re looking at some of the big outliers that we see brought up a lot, which are instant-cast, area-of-effect abilities like Blinding Light, or Presence of Mind in combination with Ring of Frost.

We think that there are too many of these AoE CC spells at this time, especially instant AoE CC, which can create some frustrating gameplay experiences. Some other particular crowd-control effects that are on our radar are abilities like Blood Fear, which we’re considering redesigning altogether, and Predatory Swiftness in combination with Cyclone, which feels virtually impossible to counter.

While we are talking about cc what about having some more spells share DR with each other. A pala can repentance/blinding light/ hammer. No Dr at all. Why is it that fear and blind share a DR and polly/fear and cycone dont? and many more examples like this.
We’re looking at diminishing returns for CC right now as a possible way to help with CC in PvP combat, but it’s the type of gameplay overhaul that can be risky to implement in the middle of an expansion cycle if the change is too drastic. We are, however, taking a look right now at the DRs within particular classes, as well as special snowflakes like Cyclone. Either way, the design discussion will undoubtedly continue!

i fail to read then i guess lol

druids been my main this season and lock my other. i feel even tho we are weak that our cds are dumb and need an overhaul. i wish ppl could step outside the class they play and see the bigger picture because it SEEMS bliz listened to nadagastts trinket complaint and i find many of the pros like reckful are VERY bias to the comps THEY play

[Draakex]

30 sec on tremor... hopefully never happens.
i'm pretty happy about the MoP-dispel-change overall, spam-dispelling of the last expansions was a no-brainer...

[zzyzzyzz]

tremors already 30 just sayin

[CGK]

tremor being 30 sec definitely needs to be changed, but it won't be changed until blood fear is fixed first because totemic restoration is the only thing that keeps shaman viable at all compared to other healers.

[saffie]

Tbh, tremor on 1 min cd is also an old mechanic that needs to go. They should make it so that you need to tremor BEFORE fear hits you, you can't use it inside fear.

I'm assuming you mean Tranquilizing shot and not Arcane shot, keep in mind it works off of a different resource, so putting it on cooldown effects the class differently than those with mana.

Because of the overwhelming of warlock population or?
Because I got two abilities I can never use because of a shaman:
-Void tendrils, aoe freedom totem.
-Psychic scream: aoe fear dispel.

I also would like to know why holy paladins can self bop on blind, warrior fear, kidney etc without even allocating a glyph to it and why do they have double bop? Same way, why can druids use displacer beast, barkskin when they are silenced or use ironbark when hex'd.

This is the exact thing they nerfed with shamans and priests can't do any of those, can only use PS when stunned with a glyph.

This last one was hotfixed recently.

@OP I think I saw your recent post on reddit



On topic, I wouldn't really say that these changes are that overlooked. There is an overwhelming consensus with a lot of the things you suggested. Not sure what you mean with your tree form comment.

[Bigmoran]

Perhaps a good change for the Paladin double BoP, Freedom, Sac would be that if they use an ability for the second time, it takes away the second charge on the rest of the abilities.

ie. Paladin has 2 BoPs, 2 Freedoms, and 2 Sacs ready to use. He freedoms both of his teammates, now he has 0 freedoms and only 1 BoP and Sac.

my bad.

[Claynz]

Wtb old tremore back, was more skill shaman had to place it properly and people with fear had to kill it properly.

Blizz really dumb stuff down, fake casting is barely a part of the game anymore compared to what it was before for some certain classes. Everyone wants thing instant and then they complain there is too many stuns in the game.

The only thing that needs to be nerfed about Holy Paladins is Repent->Hoj->Blind->Repent, double bops/freedoms/sacs are fine, literally 90% of teams have dispel, and a good portion have atleast two, half the time Sacrifice is gone before it even transfers damage.

[duskfallx]

Agree with most of the suggestions. I also think the Constant Damage has to be increased, while offensive CDs have to be toned down. That would increase skill cap in the game significantly. Game shouldn't allow people to run in and pop everything first seconds and destroy opposite team/force everything. Old PvP was way more skillful.
