Psychic horror, Silence and Psychic Scream can also be dispelled on DPS that get peeled by them. Shadow doesn’t have the luxury of being able to re-cast that cc for another two DR’s. What is your point?
Polymorph has a cast time that can be used whilst blinking, and thus avoiding interrupts from melee, outranging ranged interrupts and you can start a cast on a target in your LoS and land the cc if they move out of LoS. Additionally, fire mage has 3 schools of magic with forms of crowd control. For example, get kicked on polymorph? You can still DB, Ring of Frost, Frost Nova. Get kicked on on RoF? You can still DB Poly. Kick a shadow priest on shadow and what can they cast? A shield that goes away in a global, purge and MD. The specs aren’t even CLOSE.
Every 45 seconds, providing you haven’t already used that CC to peel a go from the other team. Mage just has to wait for DR’s.
So I guess it’s just warrior that makes WMX so good? I guess it’s ww that makes WW/M/X so good? I guess it’s the warlock that makes MLD so good? I can go on.
If sub rogue is the reason rmx is so good, why do sub rogues only play rogue mage at a high rating? Why is it that when they play a different comp, such as sub/balance, sub/hunter, that the games are much easier?
The answer is simple: Because they don’t have a mage. Mage is the best class for literally ANY meta, whether it is 1 shot metas or dampening metas. The class is simply too well equipped.
