this is not really correct
obviously stuff like Nemesis and regular Purple bosses resist it as usually because they are generally CC immune without specific shreds
as for other mobs, like heroes, it’s probably resist like regular CC
a lot will have like 50% resist to it, and a few special ones will have 100 or 500% resist, like some has to stun and freeze too
well yeah true, didn’t mean the big baddies. most of the lesser bosses will still get interrupted for a brief moment tho which helps.
again they wont, they have 100something CC res by default, this goes for petrify too, for like 99.9% purple bosses
so it’s only some of the heroes(orange named/star marked), and some trash,
no different from stun or freeze,
basically, if you can/could CC it without shred, then you could CC it with stun or freeze or trap anyway
i’m talking about the guys with stars next to their names.
heroes, which on avg have the same susceptibility to the other CC effects aswell, which was my point from the beginning
ok, but your point is missing the fact that not all builds spam cc and so having a cc on a rune that also leaps back is nice for ranged builds or even melee that already has mobility covered and is looking for some extra survivability (and has cc resists capped). its also the only disengage rune that has a cc, minus the confusion one but confusion is annoying. the debuffs, aoe size and low cd on ishtak are also nice. i get that people don’t like the disengage runes and prefer the teleport ones but i kinda like em so meh.
it did not?
i wasn’t talking about disengage rune remotely specifically or character build CC availability
my whole point was centred around your mention of Petrify being more effective and the claim that no monster resists petrify, which was incorrect because of general CC immunities or regular avg CC resist values for CC, petrify and others alike, having it be no more or less effective than general CC on average…
i use ishtak often myself, love it, but that’s neither here nor there in the specific context that was being addressed pertaining specifically to the CC claim
one of the reasons Amatokk is often liked alot, regardless of build dmg type, is exactly because it has freeze, freeze that is generally applied on par/as frequent as petrify, and it has the same CD as ishtak, but also more direct controllable
so the choice of rune shouldn’t be based on the petrify alone, much less a perception of petrify being more effective than other CC; it should be based on the overall rune and build use
and as general build point goes, most builds do tend get some or a lot of sources of CC sprinkled in there and there, even tho it’s often in low duration form, like 0.x-1sec stun here or there etc, devo procs or item procs if not even direct on skills or wps
one of the reasons Korvaak devo can be awesome is because it has almost a potential 100% uptime on the CC, i doubt that attractiveness would change much if the CCtype would be swapped to ex freeze

Let’s not.
wait were you talking about resist in terms of percentage? i was talking about it as a whole. so when i use ishtak an average hero resists 70% duration (honestly thought it was lower) so they will still get cc’d for ~1.3 sec of ishtaks 4 sec total petrify duration. you’re right about petrify not being generally more effective then the other cc’s, i thought it was for some reason since its rare.

Not nearly enough physique and way too much cunning. 100% to hit is all the cunning you ever need.
On a Pierce build that has 3 on Crit devotions, you want as much Cunning as possible to increase %Pierce damage and your Crit chance. Too much bang for your back in my opinion to not strive for the highest possible value.

Thanks for your response, but as good ol’ @tqFan mentioned, cunning dump is really, really good on pierce builds! And DA is not that bad either with cunning dump.
