==Diablo III CC Skills==
This list may be outdated by future game changes, and there is some debate about just how CC some skills are. There will also be numerous [[runestone]] effects that grant CC functions to various other skills.
There will also be numerous [[runestone]] effects that change some of these skills from being CC to beign direct damage, and that change other skills to a CC-style effect.  All skills that deal [[cold]] damage can be considered CC, since chilled enemies move and attack at a slower rate. It's likely that numerous runestone effects will add cold damage, and it might be widely-accessible from equipment bonuses as well. It can also be argued that all minion skills are CC, since the minion or pet serves as a target for enemy attackers.
[[Barbarian Skills]]:<br>
* [[Crippling Wave]] -- This [[combo]] skill "[[daze]]s" enemies, reducing their movement speed.
* [[Exploding Palm]] -- This [[combo]] skill creates a bleeding effect on enemies, dealing slow hit point loss and causing them to explode for huge damage if they die while the bleed effect is still active.
* [[Retribution Aura]] -- Deals damage to all enemies in range, and causes their own damage to reflect back onto them.(Debatable if it's CC, since monster AI doesn't seem to be affected.)
* [[Horrify]] -- Frightens all enemies within range of the WD, causing them to run away.
* [[Mass Confusion]] -- Incite paranoia in enemies, causing some to fight for the Witch Doctor for X seconds.
* Minion Skills -- It's been suggested that any skills that create a target that monsters will attack, including pets like [[Mongrel]], or [[Gargantuan]], or even an obstacle like [[Wall of Zombies]], should be considered Crowd Control skills, since they do modify enemy behavior. By that logic anything that draws enemies, including a merc or a follower, has a CC-type effect. There isn't a definitive yes/no answer to that issue, since it comes down to how one defines "crowd control"
* [[Ray of Frost]] -- A beam that chills enemies, slowing their movement/attack speed.
* [[Slow Time]] -- Creates a protective bubble around the Wizard, within which all enemies and projectiles are greatly slowed.
* [[BlizardBlizzard]] -- A powerful [[AoE]] attack that drops icy projectiles. Chilled enemies have their movement/attack speed reduced.
