We think they are somewhat boring and patch 1.06 is going to make them even more so. We want more micro-management and more things to do. 1.06 is going to make them more 1 dimensional in the fact that a Demo which is what we play mostly is going to stand in the back and cast AOE 1, then AOE 2, then AOE 1, then you get the picture. We believe the CC needed a nerf but not in range to all of them.
Take some of the available CC away and create other options to help the team. One debuff. We hate comparing games but Mages in WOW and Sourceres in Aion had so many abilities that made the game (aoc gold) interesting. As it stands now Demos are easy to play because they require the fewest buttons, least situational awareness, and least micro-managing.
The overall problem is that you are all basing the OP comparison in duels. The best means of getting pvp xp is by duels. So its natural to make duels the standard. However in group pvp as a demo if a group FFs which they should we die instantly if we did not get all 6 of our CCs off. Demos get the most kills and have great K/D ratios. Yes, but mostly because people do not know how to play in group situations. They fight what is in front of them.
