this was OP in PVE but its more fair now for that

pretty damn good for PVP for arms and fury. Dunno whats better this or vigilance

Comment by Resented

This talent is very useful for carrying the flag in Warsong Gulch/Twin Peaks*. Caught in a Frost Nova or other irritating root, or just need to get back to your flag room faster? No problem, just throw your Mocking Banner 25 yards away and intervene!

*May not be as useful in Twin Peaks because of less even terrain.

Comment by Raidju

Like an initial Intercept spell, you dont have to be 25 yards away from the target to intercept dmg and apply damage reduction buff. It doesnt have minimum range requirement.

Comment by 3xploit

Would this be worth being used by an arms or fury warrior on a tank to give them that 20% decrease, or would it just be a waste of mana for the healer?

Comment by Comboqt

You better think twice about using this in arena on a party member below 10% health when there's a Windwalker Monk on the enemy team. Earlier today a Warrior intervened his Priest and got instantly one shotted for 600k by an intercepted Touch of Death.

The Iron Tide: 6.0.2 Patch Notes - "Safeguard no longer removes movement-impairing effects."

Comment by jdgks

Safeguard only works on party/raid members as opposed to the standard intervene which works on an ally. This means you can't use safeguard on a miner in your garrison mine, but you can use intervene on them, seeing as they don't need to be in your party.
