"DKs have enormous... crowd control" - Blizz

[Granpa]

DKs have enormous crowd control? Wha?

Did I forget to train a spell or ability or something or is Blizzard on crack? We have ZERO crowd control. Chains of Ice does not constitute as crowd control for a melee class sorry. Other than that, what other ability that we have could possibly constitute as "crowd control". We can't stun, we can't fear, we can't snare. What is this "enormous" crowd control that Blizzard is talking about? I'm curious to hear this one.

Frost death knights have many slows and their former end of tree, Hungering Cold, is a powerful CC. Chains of Ice, while not the most effective in a single cast, is relatively spammable and not subject to DR (as well as being instant cast.) In addition, DK's have powerful methods of controlling casters, including Death Grip and their own version of kick.

Unholy death knights also have Gnaw, not to mention just putting the ghoul on a caster to mess with them.

I'm looking for the Blizzard Quote that said this..

EDIT: Agreeing with a greater judgment, im removing the blizzquote effect from this lol

[Shornaal]

we can't snare.

You gave me a good laugh (dk here, but at least i know we can snare, quite a lot too).

[Sersick]

Shorn if i was high i could laugh at your sig for about 20 minutes and 15 seconds, then go light up another blunt.

In other words, thats epic :P

there is no snare in the game that is subject to DR

and really COI is powerful but op?

Lets look at 2 more deadly melee snares

rogue crippling poison- if your fighting a rogue this will be on you through auto attacking 70% snare melee range

warrior- hamstring 70% (i think) melee range can be made to imobilize temporarily with talents melee

dk- coi- ranged 95% snare target regains 10% of their movment speed per sec over 10 secs

while it is op, unless refreshed it is a ranged snaremore powerful than a rogue or warriors for 3 secs otherwise it is a minor 50% ish snare that is lessened every sec

[Tigercat]

Damn, I wish MY Hamstring was 70%.

DKs can quite easily kite any other melee class in the game, including rogues. Its very simple to just use CoI every few seconds so they cant move. CoI is incredibely overpowered.

Yes, you forgot to train Mind Freeze, Strangulate, Raise Dead, Chains of Ice, Death Grip, and have never talented into Hungering Cold. Wow, you think you would have noticed those skills by now!

Plz reroll... your the reason DK's are laughed at.

You have:

Chains of ice: slowing range dps is the only way to beat them moron.
Deathgrip = bringing some1 to you ... hell of a good cc btw.
Strangulate = silence
Mind freeze = interrupt
IF unholy = pet stun
IF unholy = Desecration, another slow effect...
IF frost = Hungering cold

so... what were you saying again ? riiiiiiight ...
