Guys, for getting CS nerfed is just our own fault.

We are supposed have a hard time vs casters and hybrids
But with all these moaning players tactics/guides showed up.

All tactics involve:
  • Nuke as hard as you can

  • If your opponent casts something with a casting time (preferbly from their main tree) use CS

  • Nuke some more


  • And then u win and blink away up to the next victim.

    It works with all casting classes, u might have to be a bit creative here and there, but basically i gets the job done vs most players (uberskilled exceptions ofc). Well and rogues/warriors/hunters were no problem anyway..

    Anyway the fact that most ppl bound CS to a hotkey and spam it while casting themself made it overpowered. Now u have to abort ur current spell and hit CS.

    If it wasnt put up the boards, Blizzard would have NEVER found out, cuz we all know:

    they dont play mage



    Oh and if u think CS if only viable when it's improved, hahaha :P

    Q u o t e:
    Serves you right, ez-mode class.

    Shamans, Rogues, Warriors, felhunters and Priests all have a global cooldown on their counterspell abilities.


    If you have something constructive to add, feel free to do so, otherwise I will have to ask you to stop trolling. I want it to stop - now.
