(Priest) Anti_CC

[krochkou]

Hello,

I am curious, is it conceivable to set a plugin or a pvp profile helping to avoid CC in PvP for priests. For exemple:
- When a fear is casted by an enemy on you, cast Fear Ward on yourself
- Or when a metamorph is casted (perhaps traps from hunters?), use ShadowWord-Death on nearest enemy
- etc.

Thanks

@Krochkou,

1) Fear Ward can be setup to be on you at all times sense the CD and the longevity of the spell are the same.
2) As for using "SW: Death" to break you from a CC such as a Hunter's "Frost Trap" or a Death Knight's "Hungering Cold": Unless the act of casting "SWeath" on a target above 25% places a DoT on you it would be useless. From what I remember "SWeath" only hits you once and does not leave a DoT.

SW: Death works because there's a time lag between cast and self damage. So if you cast it right before a CC lands on you which will brake on damage (blind, poly, etc) The cast will happen before the CC but the self damage is after the CC and thus you have just freed yourself.

Might have been hotfixed, haven't played my priest in a while.

@Kaihaider,

Hmm, so if he were to get the cast times of each "Morph" spell, then in theory one could add a "Thread.Sleep(XXX)" so that it would work appropriately per spell.

I believe so, or if it's a tree:
new WaitContinue(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(XXX), ret => false, new ActionAlwaysSucceed()),
