    Shackle Undead

    So I was trying to get into some trash farming runs for BRF, seems the only DPS people take are ones with CC, which got me wondering. Is it time Shackle Undead CC'd more targets than just Undead mob types? I know I'd like to play my class more if I could help CC. When you've got hunters that can CC 2 targets at a time, I wouldn't see it being OP if a Spriest could CC 1.

    Thoughts?

    The argument that Blizz and posters after me will use is that Shadow has other CC options and that opening up Shackle to becoming a hard CC in the style of Polymorph would make Priest too good at CC in PVP. Which I would reluctantly have to agree with if we're considering Silence as a CC instead of just a ranged interrupt. Shackle still gets used occasionally, but I would rather see Shackle removed and a new utility added in its place.

    I understand, and it makes a lot of sense, maybe a Glyph to make it useable on humanoids but unable to be used in PvP?

    A Glyph would be interesting, the current shackle glyph isn't useful too often so they could take a look at that.

    Outside of shackling ghouls/gargoyles/lichborne DKs, there's almost no use for it. Wouldn't mind it turning into a hard CC, since as priests, our only other CC is talented; They can even turn some shitty talent like Mind Control into something like Evil is a POV.

    edit: Oh yeah I sometimes Shackle one of those things in Burial Grounds that casts Rending Voidlash for about 0.7 seconds before Blood Boil takes it off.

    Do you have the class trinket? If so, the cast time is correct. /s

    Not all abilities have to be "universally useful." DKs, for example, still have control undead, which only controls one type of enemy, and even then Blizzard is pretty on top of ensuring it doesn't work on any enemies in contemporary raids or dungeons.

    Sometimes I mind control a mob and make it spin slowly in circles pretending that it is cced

    Then it runs out or someone breaks it with damage and I get aggro and die

    Just remove shackle and give us back our sleep.
