If you can bomb it's great but current premades are pretty much 3 tanks, 2 poms, and some poor class that spends the whole game getting sh1t on. Usually that's a demo or necro, but sometimes a barb or ranger. With the change to the sprint mechanic there's really no stamina management which worked in favor of ranged classes, on top of the fact most caster cc's take a second to cast, deal no damage, and with every class having at least one or multiple CC breaks mostly ineffective except for a few like Detonate or an instant Repulse. If they changed back to instant CC's which could be used as interrupts...but that's not going to happen :/

if u have instants: foe has instants
na instants are silly imo
**me playing a sin** oh crap i miss a combo, its ok: aod lotus extract, deaths gaze bomb dwww insta kb sds fs
ccs are cool as is, u can work around casts, and u can predict when melees are about to do ccs by the first step, adjusting the animation. u can work around that with combo jump, but u must risk a little cd if u cant land ur cc

I play on fury and i see a lot bad demos getting nice kills, they do die a lot to though
But i was obviously not understood, i never said that bad demo would destroy people, just that it is easy class to learn. Just like necro and ranger. And even with not great gear you can get some kills. It is true that necro and ranger do it easier but demo can do it to...
Now mastering the class and being really good demo (or any other char) its not easy and i dont see that many great ones...
But lets be honest with nice gear how hard is it to learn to kite and do o.k. with demo?
Well, it's not just about how good you kite but also about how good your opponent is at hitting a moving target :P
And well, it also depends on what you mean by "doing ok".

Expert Shield of the Risen opener.
Instant CC's sped up combat and kept it fluid. You could use them not only as CC's but interrupts. The way it is now is just lame, especially caster CC's since most deal no damage and are easily broken on damage or through the welfare AA break everyone got at 2.0. Not every class deserved a CC break by the way...
A Conq just has to hit the opener and do 1.2k+ on Batter Aside with brutal opening feated while moving, a Caster has to sit still and deal nearly no damage while they cast a 1 second long cast. It doesn't matter if the conq's CC works or not, he still did a ton of damage. If the caster's doesn't hit, get's resisted, broken, or they run out of range you just wasted your time whereas the Conq was rewarded regardless.
It's dumbed down mechanics to make it easier to kill ranged or kiters, just like when they implemented stagger and the previous sprint revamp, where the "tactical resource management" part which was supposed to make it so great is basically waiting 2 seconds every 12 seconds of running. Stamina management, non existant. You would have to have been playing since launch to see the game pretty much has been dumbed down compared to anything pre-1.6. If you played after 3.0 only, you really don't know any better and just accept the current version of how it's supposed to be.

stam revamp gave alot of run to casters, u know how necros do it these days, just jump around and land freeze as melee is about to hit, dot and jump around some more the keep melee out of range by spamming unimaginable terror until melee finally loses patience from being dotted and gets caught by fear. before stam revamp teh chain of events would have been the same, however the melee is always within range because casters didnt have much sprint
your biggest cc after detonation is hands of the underworld, if u place yourself in places its unlikely to get hit by a sin u become unhitable by any melee with the speed boost u get

This is not true. I had a much easier time kiting before the sprint revamp. And your forgetting the exhaustion debuff which did have a big impact on people risking running out of stamina. If anything it was may more tactical managing a few seconds of sprinting and having to rebuild that resource while forcing someone to expend theirs against you rather than the BS of now that everyone just sprints however long they want with no consequence.
