The promise of CC in dungeons
I really enjoy doing dungeons with guildies but the good prospect of 1 hour dungeons... oh yah good times ^.^
Im not really afraid of CCing.. (I think I have frost trap somewhere.. or was it freezing trap.. crud I keep getting them mixed up! )
I am actually looking forward to it, not having to faceroll will be more interesting.. considering they took out volley its not like I can AOE, and dont say we still have MS, cause I prolly wont use it much come cata if we have alot of CCing going on.. not like it hits multiple targets anyways, or the ones you want..
But how do you guys feel. Are you afraid of the CCing to come, the promise of scary pugs where CCing becomes priority and you stare at the mage who cant find polymorph and enjoys pulling, the happy shammy with chain lightning, the lock who reads dps metres and not threat metres...
I am prepared! (puts FD, MD, Detterence, Disengage all in functional OH CRAP row)
CATACLYSM! The world is destroyed, new creatures pop up but deathwing has nothing on the proespect of the noob pugs!
thank you Ashaine and Kurenio!!!!

Re: The promise of CC in dungeons
I've been safely running with friends for ages now, so Cataclysm won't change that. I think by the time I'll be in a position of HAVING to pug instances where we don't control the majority, people will have (re)learned how to CC in instances.

Re: The promise of CC in dungeons
And with guildies of course. I've got absolutely no interest in pugging as things stand. Beta seems to already be corrupted by pugs who cannot be arsed to put the effort in heroics. If the tank doesn't have 150k hp, they /quit. ._. Oh well, no boost for you!

Re: The promise of CC in dungeons
I definitely plan on doing dungeons in cata. Probably on my own via the LFD as typically, the toons I instance with are either 1) not guilded, or else 2) no one else is up for it when I have the time, etc etc...

That said, I'm always ready to sheep you.
In AO, that was my job every single Beast raid.
I'm ready, baby, bring out the CC!

Re: The promise of CC in dungeons
Unfortunately though, as a tank, I'm slightly afraid of my repair bill come Cataclysm. It's a good thing I'm such a lore nerd. I'll be leveling through quests nearly exclusively, and probably play alts for a bit when guildies aren't on to run 5-mans. Once people figure out AOE = Bad, and CC = Good, (I miss you BigBrother! Tell me who broke my sheep!) I'll be fine with tanking again.

That or burn the bugger to hell and back... I can't think of a single boss in Wrath currently as far as heroics go, that I can't just burn to the ground other than the watery guy in VH...

Re: The promise of CC in dungeons
THen again, I haven't seen much of the "needed" CC, so far, the majority of content looks like it will be easy to outgear.
I also exist on DeviantArt.

Re: The promise of CC in dungeons
But it'll be a nice turn of things I think. Not just with frost trap, but can also put a pet on a target, wyvern sting if you got it, if it's a beast, I guess fear it (probably go badly tho lol)

Re: The promise of CC in dungeons
Oh and maybe it might actually remove the "huntard" stigma for those players who actually know how to play.
Re: The promise of CC in dungeons
Am I up to the challenge, though? You betcha.
Re: The promise of CC in dungeons
I've annoyed the crap out of those blasted Shaman that seem to hate me with my Hunter because of CC in PvP.
I've CC'd Heroic HoR because it makes it cake if you do.
I've two manned Blood Furance with my Priest via a crapload of MC.
I've three manned all of the Wrath dungeons up to Gundrak with two friends through a LOT of CC from all of us working together.
I. Am. Prepared.
/roar
(Though I agree, pugs are going to suuuuck. Here's to hoping the DF is nice enough to put us in groups with at least one person who can CC the right groups. You know, like not putting someone with Humanoid or Beast CC into a dungeon with all Dragonkin or elementals )
Re: The promise of CC in dungeons
(Thank you *so* much Blizzard for removing our best AoE in the end of an expansion full of AoE pulls >=|)
My only regret?
That trap launcher wasn't such a clunky mechanic.
