Crowd Control Diminishing Returns

Diminishing returns (DR) in World of Warcraft refer to the mechanic where certain crowd control (CC) effects become less effective if used repeatedly within a short period. This guide covers how diminishing returns works, the categories of DR, and which specific abilities are affected by this mechanic. Diminishing returns reduce the effectiveness of CC abilities when they are applied to the same target multiple times in quick succession. The first application of the effect has a full duration, the second is halved, and the third and subsequent applications are reduced even further or completely ineffective. Diminishing returns for most forms […]

Pandemic

The “Pandemic” mechanic in WoW is a crucial element for min-maxing. It allows you to add 30% of the normal duration of a DoT (Damage over Time) or HoT (Heal over Time) to its new application, effectively extending it. This enables you to fully focus on your cooldowns or other important windows without having to spend a global cooldown on something that doesn’t contribute significantly to direct damage or healing. You cast on a target, with a baseline duration of 20 seconds. The Pandemic threshold is 30% of 20 seconds. We calculate this as 20 * 0.3 = 6, so […]
