Diminishing returns on spell locks

PVP Arenas
1

I’ve finally been enjoying shadow after it being trash at start of xpac, but interrupts still seem completely overtuned. 4 second spell locks on kicks, some 3’s when im the focus I’m unable to attack for 12 seconds. Baiting works occasionally but any decent player can avoid that. There needs to be increased cooldowns on kicks etc or add diminishing returns so that they can’t just be indefintely chained.

It’s fine. The only thing that bothers me about interrupts is that mind freeze has a 15 yard range when it probably should be 8 yards, but that’s just my opinion.

and shaman interupt is 30yards…
And also remember you are a mage so you have the mobility to avoid interrupts. I have to use a racial with 2min CD to avoid them xD

Isn’t it 3 minutes CD?

Melee dps with a ranged kick :knife: :joy: :gun:

doesn’t help when most have insane ability to stick to you like glue after using said ranged kick.

idd,

I think they should have a look at automatic snares on melee especially. I think crippling should be removed, make shiv baseline with like, a 15 energy cost or something, using the GCD. PvP talent for shiv applies other poisons, but baseline shiv slows. Forces rogue to use a GCD to slow like most other people.

I can keep distance from most melee as arcane by fighting defensively in the 30-40 yard range with barrage, nether tempest, and arcane missiles, but rogues can be a bit of a nuisance, especially if they reset a fight, heal in stealth, then open when I don’t have my CDs (ice block is what, 4-5 minutes, which I need to nullify opening bleed burst, whilst rogue defensives are 2 minutes).

Poison knife is pretty dumb too. It’s spammable, has a decent range, and generates combo points. It shouldn’t be all of them. Like, deadly throw cost combo points back in the day…

Learn to fakecast /thread. Legit… There is 200 iq facecasters and there are 200iq kickers. You need to have the higher iq as the caster players. Some players are insane at kicking though such as myself ofc :). If you watch streams of high level casters you will notice them fakecasting enemy interrupts easily.

My man just said that shadow priests were trash at the start of the expansion. People played double shadowpriest on 3200 rating you know. I do agree though that they might of been boring to play.
