Quote:The control effect all follow the same rules described in the post made by Frizznik.
Control Spells
Control spells will have their maximum durations decreased globally. Being able to control another character as long as you currently can on PVP is too powerful. The spells will adhere to the following:
8 seconds: Fear, Mesmerize, Root, Snare
6 seconds: Stifle, Daze, Disarm
4 seconds: Stun
Charm: We have reworked the Charm, Hypnosis, and Bria's Entrancing Sonnet lines to mesmerize for 8 seconds rather than charm.
We are trying to find a good balance with this new scheme and how it applies to previously set values for PVP control spells. This means that some PVP control spells may actually see their maximum duration increase if it was decreased too far.
What we decided in regards to AA that modify these times is to allow them to function in PVP. We believe that if a player is willing to spend the AA to enhance their control effect, they should be able to gain the benefit of such. There are some AA that we modifed for PVP, but those are few in comparison. Olihin on status modsWell that is good to know, however it really makes me want to have a second mirror available so I can have a single/group, raid AND PvP AA spec now.
