Never in the history of rated arena has a single spec had so much of an advantage because of a map. This double (triple if you count the totem with relocation) knockback with 0 cd needs to be nerfed.
Or you could add a DR to knockback effects with the same rules as DR for all other CC.
Or better yet, remove Blade’s Edge completely.
im confused? which has 0 cd? my rshaman totemic projection has 10 and thunderstorm knockback is 30 and there are DR rules for knockbacks
so unless elemental shaman dont have cds im confused, i dont care to look for it someone correct me if something else
That’s what you’re worried about Ele shamans? A 30 sec CD knockback which 90% of specs can instantly nullify? What worries me about them is the fact that they do insane damage, while spamming three instant abilities with no counter. That’s what I find worrysome
Well, Blade edge has been in the game since 2006? Ele Knockback has been in the game since 2008. As well as Boomkin knock and fire mage, 2008 as well.
This interaction exists for 15 years in WoW. What made you suddenly discover it now, or think they will suddenly hotfix it? Lol.
Same as Lock/Monk portal in Mugambala, massive advantage, but it is what it is. Else we would only have 3/4 pillar flat maps and people would complain arena is boring.
Obviously you are unaware of the fact that elemental shamans have more than one knockback nowadays.
It has a cd, it was an exaggregation.
The DR is not strong enough then, as I can get knocked off by thunderstorm, get back up, and get knocked right back down with unleash shield. As I make my way up, I then run into some kind of CC (possibly hex), and I only have a few seconds of uptime before the knocks are up again.
I am aware, but most meele also have more gap closers compare to wotlk, and hyper mobility classes like DH/Monk also exist now.
I hate that knockback as a ret as much as you probably, but there are slim chances they will change it, after this much time. They would have to either remove the arena or remove KB effects from everyone.
*OR increase KB dr to 20 seconds, up from 10 seconds now which is too low. That would be a reasonable fix.
ah okay 
see as you wrote
as it already has 30sec cd and dr just like other cc’s i thought you were not certain
saying something has 0sec cd when it obviously has or that it has no “proper dr” when it clearly has can be seen bit confusing from people who play the class 
but if its exaggeration im fine with that, i dont really care i was just confused if we play the same game
Knockbacks already have DR
Probably not a bad idea
Here’s a drop of friendly advice. You can almost permanently avoid being knocked off if you face your back to the direction of the platform itself when hitting the Shaman. This is a bit hard to explain in words, but basically position your character in a way that if you do get knocked, you get knocked on the stage platform (towards the pillars) - so don’t stand on the edges of the platform either.
