    Um...LOL

    The "resistance" you're seeing is from multiple silences going out at the same time; do that with any CC ability (where the new timer is shorter or equal to the current timer) and you'll see it (Sleep, Pacification, Heavy, Stun, Silence, etc). For Silence, there is no building resistance; that's why you can Silence every single High Voltage and Ram's Voice and such.

    And having a tank hold a DPS ability is better than a DPS doing the same; the DPS is going to do more DPS with theirs (esp DRG, Leg Sweep is only a 20-second CD, where most others are 30 or 60 seconds)

    Again. "LOL" False. Silence Resistance exists. If you use three silencing abilities in quick succession its will become immune to Silence for about a minute. Two Paladins spamming Spirits Within for extra DPS WHILE two Bards are trying to rotate their Silence cooldowns to stop High Voltage / Dragon's Voice WILL cause the mob to be immune to Silence. It has exactly the same resistance build-up as Stun. You use it three times quickly and its has 100% resistance.

    That sort of situation seems so rare. I don't know if the silence resistance thing is true, since I never encountered a situation where silence was resisted. I mean two PLDs on top of two BRDS all happen to hit their silence attacks at the same time? That seems pretty far-fetched if you ask me. It's not something that would be considered an issue.

    My very first static tested this on several mobs throughout Coerthas, all of which built stun resistance when stunned. We were able to fire off something like 6 full silences in rapid succession on mobs that would rapidly reach stun DR with the group using shield bash/leg sweep/et al spam.

    There are no diminishing returns on Silence against PVE mobs unless it was patched in very recently, or if they exist, a single party cannot reasonably reach them.
