Imagine if casters had 5 seconds of disarm on a 15 second cooldown.

Doesn‘t matter. For example: you dont ned to cast during combust, voidform, bm-uptime and you just need 2 globals uptime to press mortal strike+execute and hammer of wrath+ templers verdict :^)

Am i stupid? Yes i am!

I suppose situation was balanced because casters were subceptible to interrupts and melee were subceptible to roots.
I wrote “was” because now almost every melee has a root break. Some like Arms Warrior have 2+.
Maybe it is time to give some casters an “interrupt break”.
As I am a Fire Mage and will get pointed about that very soon - it doesn’t include Fire Mages. Arcane Mages and Affli Warlocks who are “one-school-mainly” casters are the most obvious candidates.

Well, how many casters can root enemies?
Also, roots can be dispelled and break with damage.

Don’t forget casters get interrupted by off-gcd interrupts, sitting on low CD + get pushback on their casts when being attacked + dispells if you’re a dot class + “immunities” most melee have against casters (like cloak, AMS, etc.) plus another gazilion semi-interrupts melee can do on top of it just in case you manage to juke them

I do think every single caster should have a disarm option (minus mages, because f them)

Casters “interruption” for melee is supposed to be kiting. If melees can’t disrupt ranged, then what’s the point of playing a class with limited range? We’d just reroll BM hunter I guess.

Would have been true, but melee currently also have plenty of ranged ways to interrupt. From Warrior’s Storm Bolt to DH’s ranged stun and ranged Imprisonment. Not mentioning that several classes have their interrupt being ranged or a charge.

Just saying dude. Casters complaining about melees is common for inexperienced players, and all you’ve gotta do really is try to get better at the game, then you’ll find it more manageable to deal with melee specs.

Well, there are also the new trinkets to consider. They mitigate a bit of the interrupts. Maybe that’s why Blizzard put 'em in? For the sake of the casters complaining about interrupts. :rofl:

It depend on how many school you got but tbh when I play my outlaw and play against caster I can make the guy not play the game at all between kidney/kick/gouge/shiv (with numbing poison 25% cast nerf).

Pretty much every melee in the game can annoy caster as hell with their own tools it’s just ridiculous at some point.

I guess that’s why we see most of caster doing dmg almost only with instant now cause the design went too far in absurdity.

Sure, but not every caster is like fire mage, with blinks, roots, disorients, etc. to get away. I know mages are Blizz’s gloden boys, and all they do revolve around their dear mages and rogues, however there are other specs and classes in the game.

Tell me how am I supposed to kite a melee as SP. I have no snares. I have no root. I have no mobility. I only have access to a little sprint, which doesn’t remove snares, and if I talent into it sacrificing a major defensive. I can try to mind control (which can be purged), but then I stop doing DPS, and most melee can remove it anyway (DK with lichborne, Warrior with bladestorm, etc.)

Then put it into perspective on how all melee have countless gap closers, interrupts, ranged CC, automatic snares, etc.

I’ll say it again. All casters should have a disarm option.

True, it is, because it brings up a lot of utility in a comp enviroment.

But have you tried to play SP when a melee is training you, and you have zero tools to get them away from you? It’s a very frustrating experience, let me tell you. It was aleviated by some of the changes they made in SL, but it’s still a mostly frustrating experience. I’d sacrifice some of our utility for some mobility/gap openers/proper snare.
Melee can reset at will against SP. They can run into out of LOS, and I can try to catch up with my running speed

yes, becaue you may have trouble to go through my 400 armour. Woof

Ty for advice, I’ll do my best. My 13 years of playing arenas is obviously not enough to defeat 1500 dhs and monks, maybe when classic wrath comes out(where dh and Monks dont exist) I’ll find melees more manageable.

Imagine if melee had spammable cc with no cd

All forms of spammable cc bar one breaks with damage, so what’s your point?

Imagine if whenever a melee got hit with damage from a caster, it would push back their attack speed. And then imagine on top of that a caster being able to disarm a melee every 10-15 seconds, and then add perma snare and perma MS effect baked into the caster’s rotational ability, and imagine the caster having endless mobility

But that doesn’t matter because most casters don’t kill by spamming damage, they 100-0 you in setups, so them having to hold back doing damage for a few seconds is irrelevant. Exception is affliction warlock but they have a conduit for fear to require more damage to break.
