    I've only been in a couple of groups that were so low in AL that crowd control might have been needed or used by anyone but the tank, but with the cover wall and the placement of spawns, any plate wearer spamming taunt and stuns is all the CC you could want.

    Now Debuffing, like Fireflies, Ranged spec -parry, -dodge, and others are very useful.
    The only real CC I've seen used is Ice Field to make it easier for the tank to pick them up, but it rarely seems like it's necessary, more QoL than anything else.

    Was wondering if stuns are used much. Mez is much harder to use in a group

    In my own humble experience, I've yet to see anyone tackle UT with anything other than Tank, Healer, Pure Damage. Lots and lots of AOE. (Ring of Fire, Meteor, Ice Field, Banish Undead, Multishot)
    Perhaps someone else likes to debuff instead of fight. We do have a system in place for Group-centric only characters.

    Ice field is a nice slow and although it doesn't complete lock out the npc's like a mez they do stumble around in a ring of fire :)

    I use ice field, and I have seen others use chain lightning. I tried a few discharges in my deck before, but most times I am trying to not be close to the melee mobs so that didnt work out to well.

    In the thousand hours Ive been in UT, never been in a group where CC of any kind is not used. Ice field is the most common and most tanks I know use stun and knockdown to stop mobs in the fire fields.
