[...] do you miss using crowd control in there? 2fps talked about cc. I like having cc, since it creates a bit more complexity for the tank, but am glad it’s not [...]

Woah, woah, woah. Did two people – on the internet – just have a rational and thought out discussion about a topic, present their points (and have their views respected if not necessarily agreed with) – and then come to a mutual and….dare I say…friendly – understanding?

I see your stance – you see mine – kind of both met in the middle….

Thanks for the awesome conversation and discussion.

And I think I’m not giving enough credit to the twitch CC because I haven’t been pvp’ing of late xD

After having said all this however I do agree with you: ulduar trash CC was enough.

I do believe I can get behind this thought process – though I think that Ulduar trash CCing was enough for my tastes.

I’m fairly certain we will see some type of CC requirement in IC – though probably not to the extent that we saw in BC.

I may also be biased towards players who can snap CC because I’ve been PvPing a lot lately. Of course, GC himself knows that I suck at that. That’s why I play a Paladin.

I used to be such a good trapper on Tensu that when I laid down a trap the mobs in the next pull would already be frozen.

And of course the moment I hit the Publish button I think of a relevant modern-day example.

Chains of Ice kiting, although arguably not quite as impressive as fear yo-yo’ing or chain trapping due to being able to spam just the one ability on a short cooldown, can be pretty darn cool to watch.

This is the only kind of CC that actually feels like traditional PvE-style CC in the Faction Champs fight but even then its a bit tepid because of the diminishing returns.
