I haven't read up on any of the changes. I'm now prot for the first time ever. I think in the last instance I was in the Shaman was turning things into frogs? Crazy right? Back in the day all we had was sheep and sap mostly, now it seems like everyone has something. I've just been tanking all the mobs for the most part since I'm not sure how to give out instructions. Any have a list or can explain what class can CC what?

That's a reduce move for 8 secs which you could call CC in PvE... sorta...not really (although it's very useful in some encounters)

....just like hungering cold for 10 secs - more useful as an interrupt.

Hunter's also have Wyvern Sting and Scatter Shot depending on spec.

You can also Enslave a demon and there's Mind Control too.

I would consider it "soft" crowd control like a pally's Hammer of Justice. It keeps the mobs off for a short duration, however that can sill make a difference. If you get adds and the tank doesn't have agro on everything for example, scatter shot can get the mob off the healer for a few seconds.


There's the solid immobilizing CC like the trapping, sleeping, banishing stuff but there's also the soft stuff, that while short can still make a difference if used properly.

/shrug Would I consider it basic everyday CC? No. Would I consider it skilled help if used properly? You bet!

matter of interpretation then tongue the 4 second duration on scattershot is so short its over almost as soon as its begun so i consider it more of an interrupt utility in pve.

psychic horror and silence are pvp talents...probably very few pve shadow priests will have those in their specs.(plus their cool downs are annoyingly too long to make it worth taking them in the first place)

Is there a place where I can read up on Mind Control? I've never been able to use it effectively but it seems like it would be useful in areas like Hyjal.
