Which DPS class do you think will have the most CC?

The classes are not close to being ready but we have the direction where they are going, which dps should have the most stuns and paralyzing effects? My opinion rogue/fighter. Rogues need be able to spec for CC effects but losing some explosive damage.

TBH what you say and what i said are not that far different.
And your stuff will apply only if there are like 40 spells for the summoner to chose from when building the spells you want. From what we have seen so farm from the calsses - you will have some free choice of what spells to pick but in the same time in the bard showcase for example - you dont have more than 3-4 dps spells.
Well maybe you will be right and the summoner will have much more spells to choose from than other classes, for example every different pet can have different spells to chose from. And in this way you will be able to pick all Heal spells for example which would almost fill your skill bars. But tbh i doubt this will be the case

My understanding is that the current showcase of skills are the skills up to level 25. So there will definitely be more if thats the case.

Think is important the Devs give a look here because it's connected to the Dev discussion.

It makes sense for the tank or fighter archetypes to have the most crowd control (CC) abilities, even without augments, since they’re already handicapped by being close-range melee fighters. This would help balance their limited range by giving them more control over the battlefield. As for classes—which are the combination of two archetypes—it’s hard to say what the best mix would be, but it would be great if every class had the option to spec into some form of CC or CC breaks. This way, no matter your playstyle, you’d always have a way to handle crowd control situations effectively.

I can also see rogues being up there with CC, though maybe with more kiting abilities, CC breaks, and ways to avoid attacks altogether. Since rogues are quite squishy if you go full rogue, getting hit isn’t really an option. Having abilities to evade or disrupt enemies would suit the rogue’s style of play much better.

rogue/tank

Should be rogue because they have to put themselves in danger whereas fighters should have more stamina and armor and rangers avoid melee. Ranger should have the least CC for that reason, but can have higher movement speed. Rogues need both the CC and movement for hit and run tactics, with their first hit being their highest damage dealer.

It's all guesses. Even the skills we have now will not be the skills at launch. Large scale wars also need to be balanced.

Simple its the class that combines archetypes already shown to have CC. We know Tanks inherently have the most CC so the answer must be a DPS base archetype (Fighter, Mage, Rogue, Ranger) with tank secondary. Of these combinations I think the best crowd control goes to.

Ranger/Tank the 'Sentinel' Dosn't the name just scream Thou Shall not PASS!

I expect them to have not only the Rangers traps but also snares/slows they can apply at a distance via ranged attacks such that they are masters of kiting melee oponents and preventing them from getting close while being dodge tanks against oposing ranged attacks. They will effectivly tank for the team by keeping the enemy at a distance rather then by taking blows directly.
