Really looking forward to this skill, it will be so good in PvE. Will make tanking Easy mode, finally a nice warrior ability incoming. I hope it's going to work so well, so you can tank 2 targets at the same time without a problem with 3 charge abilities.

Commentaire de 7371

i'm wondering how this will work. do you need to select the party member or the attacker? will it automatically select the nearest enemy attacking a group member? anyone have any specifics yet?

Commentaire de 6202

This macro puts you in Defensive Stance if you aren’t in it already, then checks to see if the target is friendly & if so casts Intervene. If you are targeting a mob, then it targets the target (your teammate) and casts Intervene.

/cast Defensive Stance; Intervene; Intervene;

Commentaire de 6100

Intervene can only be used on party/raid members.

Commentaire de 21585

Does this intercept spells as well, or is it just normal melee and ranged attacks?

Commentaire de 24712

If you're the flag carrier in a BG, this can be useful to speed towards teammates who are coming to help you get the flag where it needs to go.

Commentaire de Khereth

As many have noticed, using Intervene can be quite tricky in crowded places, but in many cases might save you from a wipe. So here is a most excellent macro to help you guys out.

Intervene; Uses Targets Target if you have an enemy targeted, Target if your target is friendly, and gives you a mouse pointer if you have no target. Starts auto attack again after Intervene. Will also change stance if needed.

/cast Intervene; Intervene; Intervene; Defensive Stance
/startattack

Just a useful little tip: When fighting Murmur in Shadow Labyrinths, it's useful to have a caster stand back so that you can use intervene to escape from his Sonic Boom spell.

Commentaire de Grizlor

Use it on the air->ground phase transition on Nightbane. It'll most likely save a healer and buy you a precious 2 seconds before his next swing to get a taunt in.

Commentaire de wallis

Just some new info: Intervene had a small change in 2.1 so that it will now automatically pick your target's target for you if necessary, while keeping the current target selected. The excellent macro above is therefore no longer needed, as it is now default behaviour.

They also added a new animation on the person you intervene: A small shield above her head, much like the spell reflect one.

Lastly, I'd like to point out that intervene is NOT on the shared cooldown with charge and intercept (I had assumed it was until just recently). This is brilliant, as you can intercept whenever intervene is on cooldown, and even use intervene right after charging if something should go horribly wrong... :)

Commentaire de ChillingOut

I am Main Tank on Gruul and i have our 3rd tank (the one who isn't taking Hurtful Strikes) use this on me whenever the cooldown is over. He soaks a hit from Gruul and saves me from getting overnuked.

Very nice ability for this kind of stuff.

Commentaire de clavarnway

Very nice skill to use on Zul'jin during Lynx phase. He does a nasty ability that attacks 12 or so times very quickly in succession, with the attacks getting stronger and stronger - a Intervene near the end of the attacks to absorb one of the strongest attacks is very nice for saving clothies and getting rage.

Commentaire de 87278

I didn't read everything so sorry if this has been said. But, in arena, seeing as alot of setups involve a rogue, use intervene on your healer and it will take the stun for you. Especially seeing as popular setups like Mage rogue and RMP 3v3 stunlock / focus fire the healer.

Commentaire de 144835

In WSG... once was quite a trip and really funny to see your Warrior Charge a target, then Intervene a friend just ahead, just to Intercept and catch up the flag carrier... it's almost a teleport XD

Commentaire de Shlayer

use this to get up the GY on your team's side in WSG...just tell someone from your party to stand up there and you can pull right up to them....its pure win for flag carrying.

Commentaire de 107485

Last night I was in AV and hit my key binding for intervene while targetting Drek'thul, and oddly enough I actually charged at him. I'm not sure if the person he was targeting got the intervene buff.

Confirmed after doing eye of the storm. Intervened a blood elf paladin that had an alliance targeted, intervened him and ended up getting his stun spell.

Pretty awesome, wonder if it's a bug though.

Commentaire de Grizlor

Not that many people will see this, but an awesome trick in the arena is to intervene a blinded person and stay close to them, and it will redirect the sap to you. Great in Warrior/healer 2v2s.

Commentaire de 90630

Also if you dont know how to get behind Orgimmar's auction npc's and someone else is there, invite them to a party,gain some distance, and intervene them.

Commentaire de Nulgar

I suggest instead of , in case you might be targetting friendly NPCs that are part of the encounter. Does nothing to the actual functionality, but prevents error messages for NPCs. Also, is redundant, as and the like imply that exists is true. See WoWWiki macro guide on .
Last, I'd use /startattack , again to prevent errors.

So:

/cast Intervene; Intervene; Intervene; Defensive Stance
/startattack

(bit confused about the part though, is that for when you have no target, and click the macro to then target someone with the skill through the raid frame?)

*edit* why th did I use ?

Commentaire de makron

This ability is somewhat awesome. Even untalented and without glyph it gives pretty lot of mobility ( in case your buddy is fighting something on range and you cannot charge it simply saves your intercept cooldown, or for protection warrior it saves diminishing returns for concussion blow as you won't stun target, but buff your buddy instead )
Another usage is linking with charge or intercept, as already mentioned above. With right positioning you can intercept far and not well visible targets ( eg. column running druid ) and result can be devastating. If you have Tactical Mastery play with this thing around as much as you can, it will definetly pay off.
Ofcourse don't forget about original usage of this ability - eating up one ranged/melee attack, two with glyph. Unlike mentioned above, this work on any ranged/melee attack, not only physical attacks. So you cannot eat fireball as it is spell, but it will eat Arcane Shot for example. You have to be at 10 yards from your friend though.
And ofcourse do not get confused by icon or protection tree. This does NOT require shield to be used ;).

Commentaire de 101776

The number of individual uses of this ability are almost without number but basically break down into a few catergories:

First: You do not need to be prot to use intervene!

Dungeons:
---Mob your healer: Intervene, taunt.
---Random charge coming up? (e.g. Gal'darah): Intervene healer.
---Aggro drop coming up? (e.g. Eck the Ferocious): Intervene healer.

Raids:
---Same as above for dungeons.
---Off tanking? (or a suicidally brave dps): Intervene main tank - less damage on tank and you get a rage spike. Even better if you are specced into Safeguard (though you have to ask why....).
---Soft enrage? Intervene main tank.
---Hard Enraged...(!): Intervene... though it is probably all over.

PvP
---Intervene anyone in trouble: Absorbs the damage, saps, hunter shots, and much more.
---Got the warsong flag? Run up the other side of the map than normal and intervene up to your friend in the graveyard and leave the trailing enemy rather... stumped. You just disappear up a cliff.
--- Getting away from enemies (also a WSG flag charm) intervene a friend further up the field.

Commentaire de Shoningun

When offtanking and i find myself low on rage on a boss thats not aoe'ing I find it usefull to Beserker Rage then Intervene the mt for a large rage spike usually putting you at 100 rage
With the new buffs to prot and these rage spike you could call yourself prot dps when your offtanking
*Edit* Forgot some spaces

Commentaire de tobarstep

All this talk of intervening the MT is fine for the time being as threat is not an issue. Remember though, that Intervene lowers the target's total threat by 10%. In later tiers of raiding when threat will likely become more of an issue, that would be an extraordinarily bad idea.

Commentaire de Stryper7

Imagine if you have one friendly target and two enemy targets spaced 25 yds. apart in some battleground...

Intercept..

Charge..

Intervene..

Imagine if you had the engineer boots... =D

Commentaire de 182403

You intercept an attack (be it ranged or melee) so the attack is redirected to you...

this means your intervene could possibly proc revenge, or a 10% dam engrage, making it even more usefull in pvp with the right specs

e.g.: shield block + glyphed and talented intervene your healer from a melee attacker + improved revenge =
almost garanteed a revenge (shield block) and the 10% engrage, with a good stun change, more powerfull shield slam (shield block again), and if the revenge did proc you can stun for another 5 secs with consussion blow making it an 8 second stun (or a trinket use)

Most burst openers don't see this comming all of the sudden especially not a pesky rogue or feral druid opening from stealth

if you have some (not all that) lucky procs and your intervened person goes offensive this has the potential to be a real turn tabler in arena, killing the killer, hunting the hunter etc etc etc

Btw grizlor-thank you for the blind advice, i find beserker rage and intervene on a very nice way to work around sap now

Commentaire de 168391

Another good way to use this spell combine with the Safeguard talent (reduces damange taken by your Intervene target by 30% for 6sec) in Sarth 3D fight, would be, for a warrior tank tanking the fire adds, to pop an Intervene just before the Fire Breath of Sarth on his MT. Reducing the damange by 30% on a 60k+ attack is huge ;)

Commentaire de 94427

I wonder how many people (Warriors even) don't know that Intervene also reduces the target's total threat by 10%.

All these suggestions about using it on the MT are great ideas!

Commentaire de 47559

Too bad Intervene only works on physical attacks.

Intervene is useless for Sarth's breath. Lrn2read tooltips. ;)

Commentaire de 318094

Here's something that hasn't been mentioned. You can use intervene to negate your own fall damage. Test it out. Place a party/raid member beneath you and fly up as high as you can, dismount in mid-air, cast your Bloodrage, and spam the crap outta that intervene until you've got a target in sight. Might get trickier as your fall speed accelerates, but for falls where you're just high enough to die and a bit higher than that, this is quite convenient.

Commentaire de Lucid

There is many comments talking about its usage on the MT to help mitigate damage, and then theres a small handful of comments saying "what are you thinking? thats a bad idea with 10% threat drop".

As far as I know : The addition of threat reduction was an unnanounced stealth change.

I was unable to find any patch note that ever indicated the change. Its perfectly normal to assume most people wont reread a tooltip that they are familiar with unless there is some reason to do so (like a patch note). If you can find the patch note, feel free to link it and downrank me. As someone who likes to read each patch notes page from top to bottom, since release, I figure its unlikely I'd miss something pertaining to my main's class. Addtionally, I looked through http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/ just to be sure, and found nothing.

Commentaire de 313339

Intervene really is one of the most criminally underused warrior tanking abilities. In addition to the previously mentioned "saving healers or dps from getting 1-shotted if you lose aggro" and "saving the main tank from death when he's on low health if you're an offtank/suicidal dps" there are many other uses for this great ability.

As an offtank you can use it pretty much every time it's off cooldown on whoever is 2nd on the threat meter to increase the gap between the main tank and everyone else. This is especially useful on fights where tanks struggle with threat (like Hodir using one tank in frost resistance gear). This doesn't affect your prot dps by much, especially as you can charge back to the boss after intervening if you have the warbringer talent.

As a main tank you can often save yourself by using intervene as a way of avoiding damage. Obviously this only applies to certain fights (bad idea to use it like this with bosses that cleave for example), but personally I've saved myself like this many times. A recent example would be tanking Faerlina in a pug, the healing was a bit slack so I was having to pop cooldowns all over the place to survive her frenzy (pugs don't do mind controlling) so I found myself with no cooldowns left to pop and my health dropping rapidly, fortunately I managed to intervene someone at max range while I was on about 2k hp ready to get 1-shotted, giving time for the healers to top me as the boss was chasing after me.

So there are three main uses for this ability; intercepting melee hits, dropping threat by 10% and moving from A to B at high speed. Most people (warriors included) only think of this ability as a way of intercepting melee hits and ignore the other two uses. Don't make this mistake.

Commentaire de 313339

Please note that with the Warbringer changes in 3.3.2 Intervene will be the only A to B type move that will break roots and snares. You will no longer be able to use Charge or Intercept to do so.

Warbringer changes in 3.3.2
In the next content patch the current plan is to change Warbringer a bit so that it no longer allows Charge and Intercept to break roots or snares but Intervene would remain unaffected.

Commentaire de 471358

3.3.2 changes to charge and intercept are just blizz's way to panter the pvp'ers... sucks for me cause i use the abilities all the time in pve situations.. not anymore!

Commentaire de 268079

/cast Intervene
/y Get down, Mr.President!

Commentaire de 516981

Yo. Just thought I should mention how extremely useful Intervene is in the Lich King-encounter with Safeguard talented. Cast it on the MT whenever Soul Reaper is applied to him, and watch how you just rendered tank swapping unnecessary.

See my comment on the Safeguard-page for a couple of other uses.

But remember to use it with causion, and make sure your raids knows you're using it.

Commentaire de 568376

My guilds MT used Intervene on General Vezax to get a headtstart during the kite phase.

Commentaire de 529116

As OT on Anubarak 10, I intervened the MT for !@#$s. I took 44k damage in a single hit... leading me to believe that intervened damage bypasses armour :X

Commentaire de Strudels

Out of curiosity, what happens if two Warriors Intervene each other and one takes a hit? Where does the damage go?

Commentaire de 473435

Did some testing, and it turns out that intervene redirects the next attack only if you are standing within 7,5 yards of the friend you intervened.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Hahahaha... everytime I look at this attack all I can think of is: HERE I COME TO SAVE THE PRIESTS BUTT! :D

Commentaire de Thottbot

Use this skill to save a warlock? Ummm, no. Maybe next year.

Commentaire de Thottbot

this is great to take off aggro off a warlock or a priest =]

Commentaire de Thottbot

I think the greatest use of Intervene in PvE is far from the original intention, but it rocks for example in the Murmur encounter.
Our tank just did a macro to target me and cast intervene (I'm the healer) and zoom, he was instantly out of the blast range when Murmur started to charge for it.

My two cents is that in certain situations where you know what to except Intervene can really make things easier, mainly in moving the distance.
Also one can do a macro to gain the target of your target, and cast Intervene, resulting in easy mob following.

Commentaire de Thottbot

/cast Intervene

Commentaire de Thottbot

Wow a Dire Mottled Boar trains warriors.

Commentaire de Thottbot

the ToT intervene macro is a life saver, period. i've found a lot of uses for it even in the first few hours of using it. before that i dreaded using it because sometimes id click the wrong person or hesitate too long. now when i lose aggro to anyone ranged, i am right there to get it back.

Commentaire de Thottbot

/cast Defensive Stance; Intervene; Intervene;

Is more useful then the macro already stated as it:

Puts you in Defensive Stance if you aren’t in it already, then checks to see if the target is friendly & if so casts Intervene. If you are targeting a mob, then it targets the target (your teammate) and casts Intervene.

Commentaire de Thottbot

i think that no one here is newbie at all, the fact u r thinking about tactics, and being bothered to write them down(ultimately helping others) is credit to u all, true gamers:)) thx a lot and keep the coments coming, i've personally found them invaluable:>

Commentaire de Thottbot

please delete your warrior if you think this skill is useless. i save the healer's or overagroing casters' butt at least 10 times(and probably prevent a party) each heroic run thanks to this lovely skill. seeing how fragile druid and priest healers are, saving those 1 hit and taunting back is extremely useful. I love intervene. whoever dev thought about it deserves a cookie. now do something about multi mob tanking for warriors pretty please? ty.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Very nice when your doing Moroes in Kara. Moroes does his vanish thing, tank uses this on the main healer, no chance for that healer to take the Garrote.

Commentaire de Thottbot

The eaten attack is nice, but too often I think the speed boost is overlooked. You rush the aggro, even ignoring snares, and have a better view/position for a quick taunt.

Originally, a quick assist-intervene-assist-taunt combo would snatch stuff back almost instantly, but it seems 2.1 changed intervene, so that simply casting it on a mob will defend the aggro if it's not you - it does it automatically, no changing targets required.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Yea no skill is worthless so stop saying this skill is bad. It has many uses i just use it to save the priest.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I agree that it can be used in pvp. Try using this when you think some rogue/druid is about to ambush/ravage your clothie, and trust me, it will really surprise attacker that instead of taking down half of clothie's health, he'll barely scratch you (i know that ambush isn't scratch even on plate, but it's way weaker)

Commentaire de Thottbot

Has anyone tried this in Kara to absorb one of the Big Bad Wolf's attacks on the "Red Riding Hood" debuffed runner?

I am wondering if this will take away one of his attacks. A lot of people in my guild are kinda slow on the reaction tip in this fight so I am brainstorming some new ideas for how to handle this encounter should we come up to it again.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Which PVE bossfights will this ability really kick butt on, and how would you pull it off?

(maybe title the threads by bossname)

<<<Gruul>>>

...to start it off i've read that it can really help in the Gruul fight. When Gruul silences, the offtank can bite the bullet, intervene the main tank as soon as he/she can, and take a hit for the MT so the healers have a better chance of getting those first heals back to the MT in time once their silence wears off.

Commentaire de Thottbot

A Special Note About Intervene.

Intervene, when hit, will automatically Intervene your targets-target if the target is Hostile.

For example, if you loose aggro on a mob, you can simply hit Intervene and have it interview your targets-target.

Just a little side note that a lot of Warriors miss.

No need for macros, assists etc - as I've seen mentioned countless times.

Commentaire de Thottbot

this can make warriors get to places

Commentaire de Thottbot

I was thinking... say if a mage was casting a pyroblast at a nearby ally, is it possible to hit spell reflect and intervene your ally so that the spell hits you and bounces back and omgwtf blasts the mage back for a ridiculous amount of damage? or are spells not effected by intervene?

Commentaire de Thottbot

If you are fighting something and it attacks another target, the simplest way to use this is to hit the skill, then immediately hit your assist key, (default is F) it will throw the intervene at the friendly, and not take you off your target, as long as you pop the skill first. Paladins should know this, as their taunt works in the same way, assists a friendly instead of debuffs an enemy.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I've found this useful in my 2v2 team if there's a melee dps attacking my healer, intervene to my healer, absorb the next blow and then proceed to disarm the person.

Commentaire de Thottbot

exceptional for WSG in moving across the field as a flag carrier. Start off with a charge - zerker mode and an intercept - finally defensive mode and intervene to an ally. Ridiculously fast field movement considering that warriors don't have any regular speed boosters.

Commentaire de Thottbot

This Is great in The Kara Opera Event Big Bad Wolf

I was OT'ing At the time but i saved up rage and when he turned
someone into a Little Red riding hood, I intervened The person like 1sec after they got changed, because usualy people have a hard time in first split few seconds before they start running, it total i intervened like 7hits that fight, Saving a healer who had 3k hp after being hit once alrdy and a few dps
