Everyone is complaining about Control Wizards ingame beeing to powerful ontop of their crowd control, but i dont see much about it on the forums.
Control Wizards do way to much damage in relation to the cc they have, you get knocked down or punted up into the air and before the animation from you staggering back up is over, the CW has cast 2-3 more spells ontop of your head taking of 2/3 of your health. If you start running towards them, they knock you back, or blink/teleport away.
CW has advantage of beeing both range and able to keep their enemies away from them or in place endlessly with their cc, while melee classes suffer from their cc not stoping their enemy from moving.
Even if you cc as a melee, all your attacks are static, even if you do cc, youll swing in the air if the enemy just moves.
CW dont suffer from that problem beeing a ranged class.
Melee classes needs more immoblize+not beeing able to fight back cc to be able to counter CW, CW damage in PvP should also be lowered, their not a dps class.
Only way to kill a Control Wizard in PvP, is to get help from another Control Wizard in your team, which is kinda silly.

What Class Are You?
With constant CC, mobility spells and massive damage in the hands of a normal decent player (5% of the community sadly) can dominate a PvP match.
I am consistently ranked in the top 2 in all the PvP matches I've played so far with average scores being something like 15 kills 2 deaths.
I have GWF fighters prone-lock me from 100-0 constantly, Guardian Fighters are incredibly hard to kill and have a 0 cooldown gap closer, decent dmg and cc and just win, eventually.
Clerics make fights last FOREVER.
Rogues can usually one shot you (I had it happen a few times)
Everything is pretty much OP. Before high levels I felt kinda useless on my CW, sure I dodge around 3 times but I just tickled people with my pathetic dmg and throw out my couple 1 second stuns or knockback (our only REALLY good cc). I can't do dmg and kite at the same time, I had classes eventually winning in the long run
At higher levels I can actually set up some good burst though, stack -mitigation debuffs and use the single target spike daily for crazy dmg, that's about it, then run away and wait to do it again, kinda boring really.
I actually really hope a controller focused build is actually viable/decent, because I didn't really role a Control Wizard to be a generic burst mage, I played it to, you know, control. I actually feel like other classes can actually stunlock better, especially GWF's.
