Notable Differences Between Cataclysm Classic 4.4.0 and Original Cataclysm 4.0.3a
MMO-Champion
I had a little discussion going on in my guild today about what matter's "the most" right now in PvP; CC or burst.
I would say it all mostly comes down to the pvp setting (BG or arena, 2v2 or 3v3, etc) but I would still choose a solid CC train over just pure bursting the enemies down asap, even in 2v2, and they pretty much disagreed with it and favouring the fast nuke.
What would you guys say is stronger in a pvp enviroment right now, CC or Burst?

Top rating? Pretty balanced. You see it all, lsd-style comps with sustained damage and cc, or comps like rmd with burst dmg and cc. Just burst dmg without anything to back it up is only a thing at low rating.

As a ranged class whenever I fight a frost dk, I remember about the last fight in the old ICC dungeons where you had to run from the Lich King and board the flying ship. Dks do a shitload of damage but they are kitable as fuck and easy to keep off your back. As a hunter there is no excuse to ever lose a 1v1 with a frost dk, provided ofcouse the fight doesn't take place in a box.

Not sure how MM will be against rogues next patch that burst of skill got a cd, though. Originally Posted by Airlick

10vs10: Impossible to kill anything(or even get anything below 50%) if 3 enemy healers are freecasting.
2v2: Survival hunter/resto druid cc-chain comps heavily dominate the top of the ladder. Crowd control one opponent while hunter slowly whiddles down the other, no burst whatsoever required.
Looks like both at small and large scale pvp, crowd control is still more important than burst.
Also, pretty much all the burst combos also require good CC synergy to work. Rogue/mage rely heavily on long cc-chains to get a kill. Most other double dps burst combos simply aren't viable (because of lack of CC) and get heavily pooped on.Last edited by Romeo83x; 2015-01-26 at 12:37 PM.

You missed the purpose of my post. OP asked about CC vs burst in general. Top rating has a balanced representation of the both. I never said the classes were balanced. Originally Posted by nightstalkerr

CC is the biggest difference between players. Using it, using it at the right times, and using it in combination with your teammates. Nothing exists in the game today like 5.0 Stampede/TfB or 5.3 Thugcleave, and even pre-nerf Demo Locks required CC/Setup/Buildup.
Viable comps are largely defined by how their CC works together. The only other style you really see is Rot, usually with an Aff Lock, but you'd be hardpressed to classify that as "burst".

i have noticed that CC is really prominent in an RBG. you CC the other healers and try to take down the remaining healer or CC all healers and take down the most threatening DPS. i tend to use CC a lot defensively too, to help peel our healers.

1 dps with CC and one with Burst pretty much.

It will forever be a combination of both.
