as said be4... paralysis is a physical debuff... so it can be dodged/parried/missed as a physical hit.

[Matchu]

looks like a spell to me

"Looks like" isn't the same as "is". Paralysis is physical, so will be subject to any dodges, misses etc:

It's physical, see Paralysis on Wowhead:

School: Physical

[Kasuya]

there's a good reason over this...
u can't dispel a physical debuff.
so you should be happy.

Will be, when it gets into the "can't be dodged/parried" category.

Hunter shots are physical too and they can't be dodged or parried so it's a pretty null argument.

So is Judgement.

[Siri]

And thunder clap! Anyway, my point was that there are plenty of physical attacks that can't be dodged or parried because they are considered ranged attacks. Clearly the same should apply to paralysis (actually it should just auto-hit if the mind blast does)

[Vook]

"looks like" implying I thought it was a spell. No need for your snotty comments.

He wasn't being "snotty" at all. You were wrong, stop acting like it's a big deal.

I do agree that it's pretty BS that Paralysis is Physical. It gets dodged/blocked/parried more than you'd think. During my TB dailies, I get at least 5 parries/dodges.

It's not really the dodge and parries of Paralysis that bothers me, and I am nowhere near seeing 5 of those when I do my TB dailies. What bothers me is that it isn't 90% MB crit on mobs after 3 Mind Spikes, felt more like 60 - 70%. I constantly see non-MB crits after 3 Mind Spikes.

I don't think Paralysis is even classed as a root, just a 100% slow, which means shaman can just ghost wolf through it.

that's because u use mind blast be4 applying the last mind spike debuff... use the mb with like 0.5-0.7 secs delay, u'll crit the mb 100% of the times...

Same with Frozen targets.. u can have a target frozen, and u use a ice lance, or frostbolt. But since one is casted and the other is instant.. they go off at the same time, so the server doesn't realize the target is being hit with frostbolt, and the ice lance hits as if the target were frozen too.

this happen to all instant casts, even dots.

Six arms(?) (claw-paws?) is a lot of arms to disarm.

Yes, claw-paws, that fits nicely.

Don't take their claw-paws from them! Those silly Crocolisks don't even have weapons.

[Knirps]

That made me laugh, too. And yeah, it does look like/seem like it should be more spelly.

Also, I got a kick out of the wahrage from all the replies abput the wording/meaning of 'looks like'. lols

I see, so there's that tiny delay between when Mind Spike damage hits and the debuff application. Thanks for that, can't believe it didn't occur to me
