The Death Of CC

[HyperiusUltima]

If you have access to sleep you have access to either a much better CC ability (holy) or you are starving yourself of DPS.

Or both.

He's a BLM, not a WHM. What he was saying was that he has lost his utility to stop damage from a pack of mobs for 30 seconds, and that in itself is a form of mitigation if the tank is either undergeared, or if the healer is undergeared and can't keep heals up as well.

It also stops them from AoEing, which can stop mitigation by killing mobs. Straight up if you were sleeping enemies as a BLM post-50 you are playing wrong.

That's the point. What the OP means is that sleep might as well not exist. Trash in dungeons is so brain dead easy that CC is straight up worthless. What used to take some actual coordination and strategy turned into an AoE fest every pull. You can take the same exact strategy and apply it to trash in basically any instance in the game. It was designed this way unfortunately. Most everything that would rip you apart has a telegraph that can be easily avoided. When was the last time a regular mob did something to make it worthy of being slept?
