I played about 3 hours of pvp last night and noticed a couple guilds already put this in their bag of tricks. The changes to resolve have made the 9-16 second shut down a very reliable strategy (since you can't 'over CC' anymore to fill resolve).

I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing... yet. It brings in different strategy to certain WZs. No more dropping in a group from spawn anymore, best to drop staggered (most of us did this anyway). Attack a node from two sides instead of one, etc.

I do question though... if this was the intention, to allow a 9-16 second shutdown when objectives take 8 seconds to complete?

probably yes.
