Shaman vs dk patch 4.3

[Nikita]

Well, the 2 different teams got pros and cons. My 2 cents

Shaman team
Pros
1. Kill someone in 1 GCD
2. Self heal
3. Can cast while moving
4. Spammable CL much?!

Cons:
1. Easy to lockdown
2. Some mana issues
3. Lack of a big defensive CD

Maye add for pros, multi target hex, multi target interupts, with /target arena1 etc.
And for cons, easy to pillar hump against.

DKs would also be able to multi target interrupt/strangulate so that not a cons over DKs.

He wasn't doing a comparison, only the pros and cons for the shammy side. Otherwise, dpsing while moving wouldn't be up there either.

Id say hex is more powerfull then DKs interrupts/silences

I think strangulate is one of the best abilities in the game. If you glyph it you get 7 seconds of no casting if it interrupts a cast. That is a ridiculous LONG time for a healer not to be able to heal. And if you are good enough to manually strangulate then that's 4 times you can lock out a healer (not counting diminishing returns.)

One thing I'm not sure of is can you trinket out of silence effects?

No you can't. But I think it is a magic affect so can be dispelled by others, not sure on that though.
