Just curious if I am missing something - After a mage blinks, I Shadowstep to stay with them and then drop a kidney shot right away. I am getting an “immune” to the Kidney shot. From my understanding, blink doesn’t make you immune to stuns or give a brief immunity, but it can break you out of them.
Anyone else run into this?
this has been known to warriors for all of classic.
It breaks stuns by giving a breif immunity.
You can easily batch intercept into it.
Yeah they’re not only immune to stuns, but interrupts as well. Open with pounce, mage blinks and starts casting, bear charge > immune. Just gotta wait an extra second before you kidney is all.
its the root thats attached to feral charge that makes them immune, though i cant speak for the spell interupt since they would have to be under the global to be batch immune to the root.
Dear mages, do not blink cheap shot, you have to eat a rogues cheap shot because they will just make you sit through a full kidney shot if you already wasted your blink and from there you have to waste iceblock or pvp trinket or die. use mana shield to tank. It’s not possible right now vs dagger rogues who can kill us in 1 hit with ambush through mana shield but it wont be like that at 70 with resilience scaling, although we can still 1 shot many people with arcane power pom pyro
same applies to a warrior’s initial charge if yo ucan’t put him in combat with counterspell b4 he can charge, eat the charge, blink the intercept
If you look at the mages buffs it gives a blink icon for a short time where its immune unfortunately you get punished for reacting too quickly and trying to kidney try to delay the step till after blink buff fades then step kidney
punishing for being good that’s sound like something that need to be fixed
yes this is broken maybe they can fix it it wasnt like this in TBC and actually hurts playing correctly.
No. The correct play is to wait for the buff to drop. It’s no different than waiting on energy ticks or w/e else mechanics exist in the game.
it is now yes it was not in bc and also they have completely ruined all rogue duels cant vanish blind blind vanish or double blind eachother and so on go watch any rogue vid and these were used and cant be used now. games a frankenmonster of retail.
Kidney shot on a mage when you’re far enough into subtlety for shadowstep makes me wanna vomit. What’s wrong with you?
If they blink, why wouldn’t you?
Because a subtlety rogue’s ambush can take out a lot of mages’ whole health bar, especially with the % damage bonus you just got for shadow stepping behind them. Cheap shot wastes all that for what, stunning a mage whose face you are already in?
Oh you meant cheap shot not kidney shot.
