Re: Tanking is harder, but.

I find I tend to have a hard time avoiding breaking CC when the DPS waits
until the last second to actually do the polymorph/hex/whatever. If I'm
standing on top of the frog and only one mob is loose, I can CS and it'll
be okay. But if I've got two or more mobs on me I've got to get the HotR
out, and that's bad if I've got a frog or sheep running between my feet.

I've found that it seems some DPS need to be reassured that they *can* do a
CC pull, and I'll taunt the loose mobs off them. I'd credit that to some
of them just recently learning they CAN CC, along with a history of just
following a tank as he/she charges into everything.

judgement just as they throw off their CC, and then toss Avenger's Shield
once they're closer (and far enough away, one hopes, from the CC target).

I've found that some of the CC spells are a bit forgiving... for example,
I've accidentally hit a hexed target and not broken it. It definitely doesn't
last through two hits, though, and it isn't something I count on. :)
