THe only thing that is really nerfed is the CC part of a caster, and that being hold monster primarly. Which doesn't get that nerfed to be honest ,classes such as rogues will be a lot stronger now, and monks will be relatively stronger, etc.
Bottom line: for the current end game, and probably the upcoming endgame, this change will be a huge buff to casters. And there will be more playstyles than just CC.
I'm not being chicken little / doom gloom saying it will be horrible.

I'm saying I don't want it to be horrible, but these multiple-changes-at-once leaves open big risks it will over compensate.


CC is getting a reduction.

DPS from whatever source is getting a boost.

CC and save-or-lose is where Wizard's live, and some Sorcerers. My worry is now they become just DPS with as much CC as a Barb w/ stunning blow.

Not a prediction, not a sky-is-falling ... my worry.
