This is how I see cooldown of Crowd control ability should be calculated based on some factors (numbers are to be discussed) :
- Base CD : 4sec CD for every 1 sec of "break on damage" CC (8sec for every 1 sec of "unbreakable" CC)
- Instant CC : +12sec
- Dispellable CC : -5sec
- AoE CC : +7sec
- Ranged : +3sec
- Target still have control: -5sec
- Caster lose control of himself (e.g Mind Control): -10sec
- Target can take some damage before breaking (not sure about this...)*: +5sec
Examples :
Polymorph : (8 x 4) - 5 + 3 => 30sec CD
Psychic Scream : (8 x 4) + 12 - 5 + 7 => 46sec CD
Scatter Shot : (4 x 4) + 12 + 3 => 31ec CD
Hammer of Justice : (5 x 8) + 12 -5 + 3 : 50sec CD
Hex : (8 x 4) - 5 + 3 - 5 + 5* => 30sec CD
What's your thoughts about this ? I know, this kind of thing can't happen in this expansion, but taking in account that Blizzard said that there's too much CC in this xpac, I think this could be a way to slow things down in the next xpac instead of putting a Global DR.
