Further Proof
I ran across something funny in the WoW General forums today. People are saying Cyclone is overpowered. Cyclone, for those of you who don’t know, is a level 70 Druid spell that can be used as a near worthless crowd control. It stops the enemy from doing anything for six seconds and they are also unable to be attacked. It is not dispellable. Of course, after three times the target becomes immune. The trick to this move is it lasts 6 seconds the first time, then 3, then 1.5 (ish) and then the target is immune. That’s about 10 seconds of crowd control, at best. It’s a crappy move in PvE, and only mildly useful in PvP. Sheep is a far better crowd control technique, even with it’s ability to be dispelled fairly easily. Frost Nova or even the Druids Entangling Roots ability can be much more useful against melee attackers than Cyclone. A shaman totem (sorry, I don’t remember which one, I think earthbind perhaps) can be just as useful in slowing or stopping the target.
If you honestly believe Cyclone needs to be nerfed it is obvious you haven’t actually had it used against you. Please Blizzard, don’t nerf the already mediocre abilities you gave us in the expansion.

[...] Monday I proved once more that idiots still abound. The good news is they seem quite happy to stick to the WoW general forums. Blizzard needs to stop nerfing and start buffing all classes. The fact that they don’t understand nerfing all classes to suck equally is not balance is still astounding. [...]
