    Temporary CC immunity after using cooldown.

    These are the most basic concepts of mmo pvp. And your current team failed to implement them.

    They are bad. They should be fired. Find someone new.
    CC isn't nearly as big of an issue as you're making it out to be. Purify does what it's supposed to do. There's an annoying, stupid, and pointless delay on Resilience, but it's also a *consistent* delay so you can still make use of it reliably - you just need to make sure you're not using Purify at the same time an enemy is casting a silence, stun, etc. Sounds like you need omniscience to do that, but you really don't, since DPS is tied to CC for most classes. You mostly just need to know each class's DPS cycle and playstyle. Sometimes you get screwed, and that shouldn't happen at all to begin with, but with experience and knowledge you'll get the hang of it and rarely end up getting stunned in between Purify and Resilience taking effect. But considering there was no delay between an effect ending and immunity beginning in the old system... yeah, they need to fix Resilience.

    Now, if you're sitting with your ass hanging out or you overextend or you wait too long to disengage... yeah, you'll get stunlocked into the dirt. But that's nothing new, that happened in the old system too and it was arguably worse because you didn't even have Purify, you just had to sit there and take it. But the common thread there is, "you done fucked up." I dunno, man, it's pretty rare that I die to CC chains if I still have purify/guard available. It does happen, but not all that often. Most of the time I die to a CC chain, it's either I screwed up or they had already forced me to Guard/Purify earlier and so I didn't have defenses available for round 2 (which is, again, either me screwing up or them outplaying me/my team, and in both cases I *should* die.)

    Gonna disagree with you. It does what it suppose to until you use it. After you use it, you have a chance of having someone stun you right after breaking free. Your only other option is to use barrier and once you do that you are a sitting flag to be jumped on. It basically tells other players you are at your last resort and once you lose it, you will be targeted by the other entire team.

    Can I ask what do you play as? Because if you're a tank, that would explain a lot cause I can get away with that too when I play my PLD. But when I play anything else, I'm gonna tell you right now that doesn't always work out. healers and DPS classes can feel pretty squishy if stunned for too long. If you manage to get time to hold it off purify, you can get the other team to cast all their stuns on you thinking you'd use it right away but there's also a good chance someone waited till you broke free or your current stun wore off.

    In the end, the issue is you can keep someone stunned and incapable of escaping for a long period. Especially if the other team manages to time it right. I've had it happen about 50% of the time I'm playing between a new match.

    I play all roles except caster. SCH for most of last season, now SCH, DRK, WAR, PLD, MNK, NIN, BRD, and I'll probably add in RPR since the playstyle will probably suit me.

    As people have recommended in other threads. When you see a gserpent post, just skip it as of there was no post yet

    I paid a lot of attention to your other chat and watched how you tried to educate people on RPR and now I'm seeing it's confirm you were educating people on a class you had no or little knowledge off...

    On the other note, I'm starting to feel you continue to have no idea what you're talking about because again, you're literally the only person who makes really odd claims. I'm going to do what Hanri suggest and just ignore you...
