== Notes ==
 
*Even though this spell is classified as a Magic effect, it cannot be dispelled, as it makes the target completely invulnerable.
 
*Damage over time effects applied to the target will continue to count down when a target is Banished, but cause no damage.
 
 
== Tips ==
 
*If you are having problems with Banish breaking early then cast [[Curse of the Elements]] first. This will cause Banish to have a much greater chance of lasting its full duration.
 
*Note that the ''only'' difference between ranks is the duration. Using a lower rank is perfectly possible, and handy, if you end up waiting a lot for a 30-second Banish to wear off. It only uses half the [[mana]].
 
*Banished mobs can be affected by a [[Voidwalker (warlock minion)|Voidwalker's]] [[Torment]] and [[Suffering]] abilities (and possibly the similar hunter pet ability as well?).
 
*Mobs can be [[Taunt]]ed during a Banish. Communicate to your tank when the effect is seconds away from wearing off, they will appreciate the notice as it will allow them to place a Taunt effect on the mob and keep it from running out of melee range.
 
*As with other Crowd Control abilities, it can be useful to employ the "Focus" system, especially using a macro such as [[Useful_macros#Crowd_Control_stays_on_1_mob|this one]].
 
 
== Tricks ==
 
*May be used against another warlock's minion.
 
*May be used on elementals such as a Mage's Water Elemental, a Shaman's Fire and Earth Elementals, and a Druid in Tree of Life form.
 
*May be used against warlocks using [[Metamorphosis]]
 
 
==Patch changes==
 
* {{Patch 3.2.0|note=Effect will now be canceled if Banish is recast on a banished target.}}
 
* {{Patch 2.3.0|note=Banish can no longer be cast on targets tapped by other players or groups.}}
