what’s the spell name, and how to deal with it? thanks
This is the spell.
If you time your blink just right you actually can blink out of it. What the spell does mechanically is it periodically yanks you back inside the circle, so if you time your blink immediately after a pull you can get out of it. It’s super tight timing tho so will take some practice.
The other good counter to spear is alter time. Press it right as he spears you then you can heal back the damage he did to you inside the spear.

thanks, I also wonder if I can do greater invisibility and then get out of it
Don’t think greater invis would work.
To be honest tho I’ve never tried it lol so it might. I don’t see any reason it would tho, greater invis just makes you invisible it doesn’t make you immune to loss of control or anything. Might be worth doing just for the DR of greater invis tho, if you don’t have alter or blink available to get out of the spear.
Of course block works as well. But any warrior with two brain cells to rub together playing against a mage will have shattering throw so that only buys you a few seconds.
The worst spell ever . Spear into bladestorm makes you a sitting duck

Can you iceblock it? I know almost nothing about mages.
Yes. But any warrior worth his salt will be running shattering throw into mages, so that block is lasting only as long as it takes the warrior to find his shattering throw button.

Alter or block. 
There’s also knock and then DB if the Warrior isn’t bladestorming.
Wrecking feels much better in most scenarios.

For sure. But in the scenario of facing a mage you’d still take shattering 99% of the time right? Unless you’re quing with a priest then you wouldn’t need it.
At least on my warrior I always take shattering into mages and pallies. Could be doing it wrong tho.
God they really let Warriors just run the place, huh?
Depends on what they’re playing with. In the context of arena they usually have multiple stops to shatter. In BGs it’s usually more efficient to be taking 100k of a shield off somebody instantly.
Trying to imagine getting an important shatter off with like 6 people nearby. 
Oh yeah for sure in BGs it’s almost certainly not worth it. Was thinking in arena scenarios if you see a mage on the enemy team I’m almost always picking up shattering on my warrior.

I don’t really like playing it into anything now as it’s too long of a cast and Wrecking is just too consistent.

I think its pretty cool that warrior get to have an aoe CC that can’t be trinketed out of.
(Just to be clear, that is sarcasm)

never thought of it that way, but you’re exactly right. its pretty OP in that regard.
Interesting… it’s Arcane school.
It should then be dispellable, yes?
There is nothing to dispel. It’s not a debuff you place on your target. It’s a thing on the ground that interacts with them when they walk too far away from it.
Last I checked you couldn’t dispel the ground of the arena lol.
hmm… so not even a mass dispel.
Though if it’s an Arcane school… the warrior wouldnt be able to use it if he were silenced haha

Fun fact:
If you use this ability on someone who is dragon-riding and they try to fly away, the game doesn’t always know how to handle it and it can bug out the player / cause dc’s

Nope. Mass dispel, while it is a reticle you target on the ground, isn’t actually dispelling the ground. It’s dispelling targets inside that area.
Yeah that would make sense. Hell tbh it might actually work that way now, I can’t say as I have never had anyone silence me on my warrior lol.
