Permanent stun/ freeze/ CC

game forces you to have unstopable cuz god forbid you encounter multiple cold enchanted.
2 hits and you are frozen for 3 seconds giving said cold enchanted mobs the time to stack THE 2 HITS required to freeze you… PERMANENTLY FROZEN… meaning player doesnt get to play the game no counter skills for that. not a skill issue since the basic attacks for monsters in general are automatic. who tought it was a decent mecanic to allow player to be useless for several seconds at the time without considering a chance to escape or some sorts…

Gorgers with the stun that is not canceled or really hard to avoid since the mob turns and twists instantly to stun you (plus if cold enchanted you’re screwed cuz you get in a loop of freeze and stun until you’re done)
Vampires with cold enchanted (2 hits and you’re frozen meaning they add the first stack of freeze while you’re frozen only to apply the 2nd immediately after you unfreeze). i have to add to it that those vampire basic are homming missiles that follow you around so either you run or die.

TL.DR: if you dont have unstopabble you dont get to play. MEANING IF YOUR BUILD NEEDS A CERTAIN ITEM THAT IS NOT DROPPING CUZ THE DROP TABLE IS BUGGED SINCE 10 DAYS AGO EITHER YOU DONT GET TO PLAY THAT OR JUST SWITCH ENTIRE CHARACTERS.

So use unstoppable.

Tah dah! :laughing:

Tryed it, focused some skills/aspects on Unstopable, all gems in armor are reduce damagw when CC, stacked some CC duration reduction on items…
BUT, when you get e.g. Nighmare Dungeon with modifier elites are freeze enchanted + this on elites with already stun capability … you are perma CC, use unstopable to break, again perma CC, unstopable skills on cooldown → dead!

sad that this is the mechanic that devs found to make high level dungeons “hard” , perma CCing players do beeing sure they have no chance.

TLDR: Unstopable skills hsve of vpurse cooldown, so sooner or later 5 elites with freeze + stun wil get you.

Skip then.

Like fishing rifts.

yes, this seems to be the only way and already doing it.

im no longer playing the game due to this issue.

stopped being fun that every second dungeon has a super duper AID* elite pack that 1 shots you runs 25x your speed has a dome ove them and perma cces you.

i dont really play arpgs to be super duper stressed and focused like it was race to world first pve in wow.

i do it to just chill slay some monsters and hopefully recieve some sick loot.

there is an aspect to break cc on low hp. also low hp dmg reduction stat, etc. you should stack armor/hp/dmg reduction at least on 3 items. also you can cc this mobs before they hit you. l2p

What in word Permanent you dont understand? Yes its a true HUGE Bug from blizzard. Several times in dungeon i met 2 or 3 elites at one time with this auto hit freeze ability! All this reductions and break cc just not work and jusr give you few more seconds to live no more. Then you are just permanently frozen in a row untill you die. I dont bother about any other Frozen abilitties. All the rest is ok. But when you get frozen by an auto attack - its just super stupid. Only one ability ruins all game play.

Easy solution, ADD DR to cc. or make it scale with resistance.
perma stun with 60% cold res makes no sense. just cause you hit 3 melee frostyboys.

Stuns are ok. You can avoid them cause usually there is a preparation animation and also cooldown. Here i agree with you its skill dependent to avoid this attacks. But when you are just 100% time standing frozen untill you die its stupid.

I found this topic cause just few minutes later i died in heroic dungeon where i melted everething with ease untill met this 3 mobs that gave no chance at all. Runing with speed of light and auto attacking you with freeze abiltys non stop. if i get hit one time i use my unstopable but it has cooldown on 30 sec. After you get hit again and 30 sec of permanent stun can kill anyone! In conclusion what is the perpose to add abilty to mobs that is absolutely skill undependent?

noone argue with u that sometimes there are few freezing mobs and I often die to them aswell but thats not smth you cant handle. Its hard only when they can teleport on you and you probably just dash in and instadie + you deal 0 smg if you cant kill them first using unstoppable/cc. Just stfu and l2p u baby

Hey guys! i found the solution! Just disassemble all Seals that have cold amplification. Leave this kind of seals to developers who love to suffer a lot!

yep, too much cc against the player.

Agred, CC is far too strong/punishing right now. Could use some adjusting/chain CC protection. Mobs have that already … :smiley:

So here is an idea, if you are walking a path and come to a brick wall with the option to walk around it, do you continue to try and walk through the brick wall?

Also, I’d like to add that when you are unstoppable, you are immune to CC for (x) amount of time, so I’m not sure you are 100% telling the truth here.

Yes, you can skip them sure, but this should not be a thing to begin with. Probably an invulnerability to CC for like 1-2 seconds after each CC should be implemented. That at least would give you the option to reposition. Feels bad where you are strong enough to clean out way harder content , but run into 2 cold mobs, and they perma cc you.

I’ve been playing since the 4 days in advance for ultimate. Everyone has an unstoppable move, there are generic aspects that also help with this. CC is a function of the game and can be used in reverse as well against non-boss mobs (and stagger is amazingly powerful against bosses). I’ve yet to be perma stunned or frozen, I play every class, 3 of them are doing nightmare dungeons and even the worst build I have is playing 5-8 levels higher than it in NM dungeons, my highest is quickly approaching tier 40s and was in WT4 at lvl 62 farming tier 20+s.

ARPGs make you rebuild regularly, dodge, learn the game mechanics and play accordingly. If yoi want casual, just play at non-NM or low tier till you are sufficiently high lvl enough not to care about the CCs. These games arent typical RPGs where you are meant to feel like a god the longer you play. You are meant to hit more challenging puzzles that take some grind to figure out, rebuild, keep going. Don’t be married to a build, and you’ll do better.
