I like the switching of Hand of Doom and Blood Caked Blade. Bringing HoD up to the 2nd tier for more pvp utility is a smart move. I'm a little concerned BCB sitting in the 3rd tier with another 3 point talent. I'd like to se it switched to a 2 pointer or maybe change Abominations Might to a 1 pointer.

Yea I think this is a good idea, becuase 2 points in a buff doesnt feel right, 1 point makes perfect sense for Abom Might. But then again I hate the hand of doom change, cuase I hate blood scent talent, i think its a complete waste. BUt then again(lol) we dk also have a job in interrupts now on trash mobs and pvp.

We already have a thread beating how stupid BCB at tier 3 is to death.

no one ever did it though. with the rare exception of a few bosses people in wotlk have basically forgotten that they can interrupt. Originally Posted by Foibles

Maybe bad players never did it

I always enjoy interrupting on Vezax, (small) Iron Council guy, and Jaraxxus. Its fun. Pity there isn't more of it going on
(Outside of interrupting Healers in PvP lmao).

pretty accurate? Originally Posted by Foibles

i don't blame them, but i don't close my eyes and insist they don't exist either“He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”

Interrupts became meaningless when they got off GCD for melees and were like free. Doing competitive DpS and still having a free GCD and recourses for the interrupt when it was needed was one of the last few "DpS skills" that seperated pros from the cloud.
I even interrupt Lich Slap on Blood Princes trash.

Ive always enjoyed locking down some casters and certain bosses with Death Grip, Strangulate, and Mind Freeze while tanking. Something really fun about concentrating on the tanking spells I need to use, while also having fingers hovering over the interrupt keys watching for enemy cast bars.

2010-10-04, 10:39 AM #14DeletedEver since I got SM and specced UH (sub frost) and got free Mind freeze, I've been interrupting on a hair-trigger any time I see an unshielded cast bar. Makes me look pro. Originally Posted by Nye

i'm personally considering my DK to be specced subfrost just for the free interrupt in cata. something like http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#j0oZG...odfo:VksmM00Mc. only thing i'm possibly missing is 2 RP/5. i don't know the DPS value of that, but for that to amount to 1 extra DC, it takes 100 seconds. that's 1 DC per 1.5 minutes.

I like that all three specs have something pvp valuable in t2 and you can't take them all. Blood caked blade drama aside, the change is in line with their mission statement of forcing us to make choices.

'Damage' means "switch of your brain and do nothing clever from level 1 to full 264 gear". Though i'd wish for a world of warcraft where doing clever stuff really helps, i'm afraid of sharing that world with todays players. Oh crap >_> Originally Posted by Albert the fish
