Also, and I hope this gets attention:
Preface: I was brutally owned by being whirl spammed last night in a fight I initiated with an enchanter in the Neriak bank. <-- There's the admission, whatever you want to call it lol.
Problem: Whirl has a longer duration than recast. There's a reason it did not land on live. This spell does need to be fixed and have its resist rate completely owned down. I could not land this spell on naked players when I played enchanters on live. This spell, as well as the Dizzy Draught (w/e) allow you to completely stunlock a player. I have a pair of 7mr bracers, 9mr neck, skull of jhen'tra and have greater shielding up. I was not dispelled even once during this fight.
Solution scenarios (as far as I'm concerned):
A: (Player vs me) Avoid any pvp with enchanters like the plague, get out of the zone immediately. (Me vs other players) Bring an enchanter whenever possible to kill other players as I will be able to keep them completely immobolized and unable to gate, use clickies or cast otherwise. Posts probably begin popping up about this regarding they had magic resist / this is not how it worked on live.
B: Situation A does not occur, spell resist check is restored to classic values.
C: I get trolled by players and told to stfu.
Hopeful and realistic expectations are in the favor of a combination of B and C. This ability is *very* game breaking and a plague upon past boxes where an enchanter would just whirl spam someone while melees beat them down in end game. If you weren't able to get out of reach of the whirl or otherwise get away from the enchanter you were guaranteed a death with no chance of escape. I wait with baited breath and lfg for enchanters to pvp w/ in the meantime
