Diminishing Returns


Deielrion

Recommended Posts

We've seen some confusion recently about exactly which crowd control effects share diminishing returns. To hopefully clear that up, we're providing the following, categorized lists of all of the CC effects in the game.

 

For those who may be unaware of how the Diminishing Returns system works, here's a brief explanation: After you've been affected by a crowd control effect in PvP, there's a 15 second window for diminishing returns. The second effect of the same category (as listed below) that is used on you will only last for 50% of its normal duration, and the 15 second window will be restarted. Should you be affected by a third effect from the same category inside that window, it will only last for 25% of its initial duration. The 15 second window will once again be restarted, and you will be immune to any further effects of that category for the duration.

 

The lists below have been separated out into their specific diminishing returns categories. Each ability shares diminishing returns with the other abilities it has been listed with, and no others.

Does knockbacks have diminishing returns?

 

Now that's something I didn't see in a while.

 

I'll check the list later and edit this post.

 

@Edit

 

Everything seems right, also a note is that the Paralytic Poison is flagged as a non-controlled stun, thus not sharing DRs with the other stuns, which made it be removed later due to making it possible for a rogue to one shot someone without they even having the chance to react - given the chance of the proc, of course, so it was quite randomly.
