Priests were doing well in arenas because wow gold players could spam Mass Dispel.
Other types of Debuffs and Crowd Control effects, such as Fear, Psychic Scream, and Ebon Plague, will no longer be able to take any bonus from dispel resistance talents such as Silent Resolve, Contagion, and Virulence.It seems like it's one more way in which, since Wrath of the Lich King came out, Blizzard's been shying away from crowd control mechanics as anything more than a stop gap measure, in both PvP and PvE. Whether this will hold up in the long term remains to be seen, but crowd control artists, be prepared to recast those spells just a bit quicker.Feel free to discuss dispel and dispel resistance here rather than having the conversation across multiple threads. Yes they will if they want their Fort buffs, Shadow buffs, Pain Suppression, & Inner Fire (for at least 5 seconds anyway) to stay up. Priests were doing well in arenas because wow gold players could spam Mass Dispel. Paladins were doing well because of Cleanse.The other dispel arguments were about buffs that can't be dispelled (auras) and buffs too easily dispelled (totems). Those haven't been addressed. I think Blizzard has a problem with Crowd Control being a rather frustrating and unfun mechanic. Simply put, it's no fun being a sheep, it's no fun having your sheep broken, and an AoE trash pull with 5 mobs is more fun than focusing down two then picking up the last three later. However, I think that it is fun to be able to effectively use crowd control mechanics, and making that useless bothers me.
