Spriets now only class w/o an interupt

[zito]

In the latest small beta build hunters silence now interrupts player spell casting. With this said shadow priests are the only class without an interrupt (against players). This is not a QQ post btw but it seems unfair that an spriest has to worry about every class interrupting their spells but every other class doesn't have to worry about an spriest using an interrupt.

Any thoughts about this?

It doesn't interrupt player spell casting?

Silence interrupts for 3s on top of its 5s silence.

Last time I checked, if you silence someone, they stop casting. >_>

I know you're referring to not being able to interrupt someone when they're temporarily immune to silence, but you have to realize: Not every class can silence. Some can simply interrupt.

It's give and take. Just get over it. Silence > Interrupt almost 100% of the time.

EDIT: And as posted above, it apparently does interrupt. XD I never grabbed Silence on my priest. >_>

Silences the target, preventing them from casting spells for 5 sec. Non-player victim spellcasting is also interrupted for 3 sec.

Honestly I don't see the problem. Five seconds of no casting at all is a really long time in pvp, at worst a sidegrade from the better interrupt mechanics.

It really does need a lower cooldown, though.

As I said in my post, you have a Silence. Some classes just have interrupts.

Silence > Interrupts.

Get. Over. It.

What, do you want to have access to Melee abilities too because all other classes have them? (Except Mage, but meh, making a point :P)

All silences interrupt.

Not all interrupts silence.

For example:

Arcane Torrent says the same thing, and I can guarantee you that it interrupts.

That means enemies who are immune to silence (like bosses) still get hit with an interrupt. Normal players get hit with the interrupt AND cannot cast for 5 seconds after. I'm not sure if you're just trying to troll, because this seems really easy to understand.

Honestly... if they're silenced for five seconds, why would not having a 3-second interrupt matter? 5 seconds completely silenced > 3 seconds unable to cast from a single school. I'm not that big of a PvPer... could someone explain to me if/how my logic is flawed?

Your acting like I'm complaining about it which I am not, its just to discuss calm yourself. I think boomkins are the only other spec that does not get an interupt but kitty form now has one other than that ele shamans interrupt is on a very short cooldown.

[Shampun]

Let me get this straight, you're complaining that spriests don't have any form of interrupts when they have the most op spell that stops casting, a little thing called "silence". So you are telling me your want to trade that for a crappy interrupt? Wow nice trolling man keep it up

[Baever]

The spriest silence is one of the best in the game. It can be pre-fired, and locks out everything. I'd take that over a regular 'kick' when fake casting is such a big thing in arena/pvp.

OK, if you want to play by your logic.

Silencing Shot: A shot that silences the target for 3 sec. Non-player victim spellcasting is also interrupted for 3 sec.



Makes your original post moot, doesn't it?

The latest build hasn't been implemented yet for the silence shot change.

But you are complaining. And there's nothing to discuss. Spriests have an interrupt that is a blanket silence. No, it technically isn't an interrupt, but it's a hell of a lot better.

Works the same way as one, if not that, then better. :|
