Dev teams say that (" Slayer and choppa will not be a CC heavy class ") anyone that knows how the PvP situation works would know the one that can kite the most is usually the player that also wins especially against a melee character.
Sounds to me like they are about to make a mass bulk of free RP. You will be cool but you will also be dead :D
cya on the battlefield.

As far, as I'm concerned, apart from tanks, no melee classes can be called "cc heavy", none of them can even perma-snare reliably in melee range.

I suppose that leaves the Marauder, WE, and DoK as the only AOE disable heavy MDPS careers in the game.
Mythics idea of 'balance'.

Sounds alot like black guard.. what a joke class... i enjoy melting your faces with my bw on the battle field.. all that magic resist crap your class is suppose to be but what a joke.
Our maybe its just the people playing destruction that suck. :rolleyes:

For real right... 90% of sc and ORvR wins by destruction are because of those classes.. the constant knock downs and disables..
But OP here is a little something to stick in your cap... all classes are getting fixed and one of the big issues is disable and the insane amount of cc destruction has... can you say N E R F I N C ... say it with me...
Lets see how the game goes once thats in place.. were already beating the snot out of destruction in T1/2/3 sc.. but T4 because of disable and OYK .. you get the picture.
I due time.. all good things come to those who wait...

I have a feeling they are going to water down the CC - since its by far to much.

btw this is not some cheap shot at order, I was actually leveling a engineer because I wanted my new slayer to have a "few" advantages compared the million other slayers. But now I feel since its a month away I might aswell just dont bother. People are dropping off the game because it has become stale, so I think I will do the same anyway sometime in the near future. starting at rank 1 is bad enough with a new character but if all the servers are dead why even bother.
And it was just a thought on slayers that WoW he could do alot of damage, but if the opertunity isnt there to actually do the damage then the damage itself becomes irrelevant.
Right now I would say tanks that have roots as "debuff" is probaly the biggest problem the slayer population will face. But as you say that will change then slayers could become valauble.

Well, considering Mythic marketed this game as having very little cc, I'm somewhat dubious about this statement being as damaging as you say.

People didn't want CC so this is a plus side from the slayers point of view.
Plus being the berserkers I could easly see us using something like http://www.wardb.com/spell.aspx?id=9194. That should help with such pesky things.

MMORPG PvP being dominated by healing, ranged attacks, CC and ability to kite?
It's been the same since 1997.
Slayers will still be Slayers and still will be fun.

Slayers get that and things could get... messy - the squishy brown trouser maker. :)

I see this as a good thing, and I'll tell you why. I don't think Mythic is entirely stupid. They have to know of the CC hell. And with the announcement neither will be CC heavy, this lends weight to them nerfing/getting rid of some (hopefully most or ALL ) of it in the 1.2 patch.
If they do that, then why put some on the new people. Makes sense to me.

This is actually a good thing. I believe all CC will be toned down leaving heavy CC to Tanks, kiting CC to RDPS and melee will get snares and stuff like that

They get 1 cc that has a short reuse timer
But hey it's only got a little CC right.

Don't know why people act surprised when it comes true every time.
Only difference in this game is who they gave the CC to.

will have to do something cause a class like slayer/choppa could easily be CC'd right to uselessness.
and to the poster who said the game was marketed as a low-cc game. absolutely right. all the times they said "you would always be able to take action" and "you wont be instadeathed" made me wonder if they EVER even tested their own game.

After reading.... This.... I started laughing so hard I started choking to the point of coughing up blood.
I hope your happy with yourself, on whatever planet you live on.

Somewhere was a post about slayers abilities, which were hidden in a gamefile. Ae-kb's was one of his abilities.

It was an old ability and seemed to be a Hammerer ability that was renamed. Mythic has already said that list will change.
