THE BIG LIST of NASTIES & Counter Measures
As the game expands and the number of incapacitating effects grows, I feel we need a global list of the spells you need to be aware of in PvP and how to counter them (if possible).
Unlike other caster classes, Priests do not have talents that prevent lock downs from casting, so know thy enemy if you hope to survive.
I'll update the list as people post additions, corrections and countermeasures for each category. (we all know, "you can't do that while stunned" so please refrain from QQ posts).
