Maybe blizzard will change this in 5.2. Really hate playing against spell caster teams that stand next to the healer when I have NT up on them and I need to get a poly T_T.

[Coldizzle]

the second effect of nt breaks poly fear rof etc

[Xhanon]

Its good some things still breaks stuff like that i think, but they should still remove stuff like blind glyph, poly, scatter and trap etc

can you explain why you think a spell we HAVE to use to do damage breaks CC uncontrollably?  like, we cast it on a dps, CC healer, and the DPS can just be anywhere close to the healer to break CC.  makes no sense.  lasts long enough that you can't just cast it on things that stay far away from the healer either...

next patch every time corruption ticks on a target it removes fear on any enemy target within a 20 yard radius

but thats ok, since then you have to think before you do damage

I'm not sure if I am remembering correctly, but if I'm not mistaken there was definitely a long period (a whole expansion perhaps?) where fear broke off a single dot tick, from a class that had to apply 15 second DoT's to do damage.

Along with the previous 6(?) years of WoW where DoT's (up to 20+ seconds I believe) meant a target couldn't be blinded, poly'd, trapped.



Yes, I had to think before I did damage.

I've played warlock from Vanilla to MoP and I can never recall fear breaking from dots, most of the time it's been the opposite lol, full fears almost on fully dotted people, it never gets fixed.

Definitely for most of wrath it would break off one UA/Corruption crit. Or a non crit tick of each.

i think you missed the "breaks fear on every enemy within 20 yards every time it ticks" bit, i'm not just talking about corruption on a target that you are fearing

Yes, and how many times do warlocks not DoT every target they can.

Possibly when a target needed to be cc'ed.

like he said, to do damage as a mage with nether tempest you need to have nether tempest up on one target, or you do 0 damage. having nether tempest up on one target makes their entire team immune to polymorph if they are not retarded and dont stack up on the cced target. do you understand what mages are complaining about now?

read your reply, replied to it.


Understandably the situation differs slightly, in that your DPS spell on one target is causing CC on the other to break.

However the principle is the same, intelligently sacrifice damage for CC.


Seemingly this is a silly remark to make in the current meta game? Sacrificing damage, who would do such a thing?!

you keep saying how warlocks cant brainlessly multidot and fear, so its completely fair that mages cant also do that, that has nothing to do with what im saying

maybe my fault for not giving a completely obvious example, ill try again

casting corruption on any one single target in a 3s match makes that targets entire team immune to fear every time the corruption ticks, no multi-target dotting involved

get it now?

They should just add on to the poly glyph, making polyed targets immune to nether tempest aoe damage

they should not be nerfing mages and warlocks again and should not be buffing warriors and dks again but they obviously want all casters in 3s to be spriests or ele shamans so what can you do:)

Yes, and I admitted the scenario differs. However in principle you still sacrifice damage for CC.

It'd be comparable to me getting cunning last season and then posting here about how it breaks blinds every single game.
