Comment by Elektrophorus

You've put Sigil of Silence and Priest Silence under Immunities, and forgot to include Vengeance DH Last Resort and Protection Paladin Ardent Defender.

edit I also think it's worth noting the special pet abilities that provide Hunters additional utility in the last section too. While you link to the guide earlier on, it shouldn't be discounted in the "Miscellaneous Utility" section that Hunters provide mortal strike, additional slows, dispels and tranquilize to the group.

edit 2 Netherwalk is a full immunity. Blessing of Spellwarding is a targeted spell immunity.

Comment by Frobiwan

Another side note. You put Rogue as the class with Guardian Spirit under the "Cheat Death" tab. It should be Priest.

Comment by Vorselia

Under Silences, you have put Shadow Priest's Silence under Mage.

Otherwise, great guide

Comment by Alcest

The Interrupts/Silences are really messed up.

Shadow Priest: Silence should be listed as both an Interrupt AND Silence (I mean it's literally named "Silence" but not in the Silence tab?)
Balance Druid: Solar Beam should be in the same boat as ^Silence^: Interrupt AND Silence.
Protection Paladin: Avenger's Shield is in the same boat as the above 2 abilities.
Arcane Mage: Supernova is NOT a Silence by any means. If you include Supernova, you must also include any/all other knockback effects, which is silly to even consider, as it's more of a pseudo-interrupt and not a silence.

Comment by propane30

Judgement of Light is also available to Protection pallies. I think it's just Ret that doesn't have it.
Avenger's shield is a 3 second silence, as well as an interrupt.
Tol Dagor features skips and buffs (10% INT, 10% STR/AGI, 10% STA, and the effects of Greater Blessing of Wisdom) available through lockpicking, either from a rogue or a blacksmith or inscriptionist.

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to say, this is very useful, thanks for it!

Comment by Vetochka

This is a very weird picks of class strengths. From one side you say as purging enemy buffs are about mage and shaman, but you completely ignore that druid and hunter have dispells too (of enrage), and you ignore priest's mass dispell.
From one side you say paladins and shamands cool since they can dispell poisson, but you completely ignore that mages and druids can do this too. + other things people already mentioned here.
Can you explain why paladin deserves mention of dispell and druid not? Spells with same effects...
p.s. One other thing - paladin's immunity for tank is smth you should remove. If it's used on tank - he loses all agro and dps+healer die druing these 8sec => wipe. And who to blame? Yes, paladin. And kick him if possible for not knowing own skills. And you right now write to use it on tanks? It can be used only on dps who pulled aggro orand to save him from some fixated mobs.

Comment by Pwaite2

Thanks for this very useful guide. Here are a few mistakes I noticed:

- All Warriors can use Rallying Cry, not only Protection.
- In the interrupts section, when you mention the trick to have a 2-target interrupt on Warlocks, you mention the Imp instead of the Felhunter.

Comment by Wanderingfox

how is pick lock not on here? It lets you bypass half the trash in Tol Dagor :(

Comment by swatgun

Is it me or am i missing the 5% stam buff from the warlock's imp ?
btw on beta it was able to stack with the priest stam buff of 10% .
not shure if that is still like that and/or if it was intededto be stackeble .

Comment by souliloquy

Outlaw Rogues might not have evasion but we do have Riposte which is a 100% parry chance for 10 seconds.

Comment by Cerberon

Can't see the interrupts and silence section at the moment. I guess it's being edited.
But under CC you forgot War Stomp the Tauren racial AOE stun.

Comment by 611546

You have a note that "all healers can dispel ," but in fact not all healers can dispel these effects. Priests can dispel disease; paladins, monks, and druids can dispel poison and disease; and shamans can dispel curses. All healers can dispel magic effects, but curse/disease/poison is still regimented based on class.

The off-specs of these classes cannot dispel magic effects, but can dispel curse, poison, and/or disease effects based on their class.

Comment by cirilloblu

Hi!
in the section "Crowd Control (CC) and loss of control effects", in the "slow section" the spell
"Slow - Single target slow" is only for Arcane Mage, not for all the mage!

Comment by Edgysan

Should have put what is talent and what is baseline right next to the spell... now every idiot will thing every paladin has repentance...

Comment by Samfisher

Pretty sure Aspect of the Turtle is not an immunity. It deflects ONLY attacks (which is a physical hit), any spells cast at the hunter still damage them. Otherwise the 2nd part of Turtle wouldn't make sense. If you're already immune, why the need for damage reduction, cos no damage is coming through.

Comment by numy

Cool guide
icebound fortitude isn't a frost dk skill, pretty sure it's baseline (blood has it too anyway)
and not sure why you consider the judgment heal to be an external cooldown; it's miscellaneous utility, if you even want to mention a small hot-like heal
prot pala can spec into rotational offhealing though (which is actually useful now that blizzard fixed their nonsense :p)

Comment by numy

For hunters: there's 6 pet families which lets any hunter spec purge/sooth, and only 2 others that are BM only
(bats/netherrays are best, since they purge and have primal rage; spirit beast has a small offheal instead)
