Deterrence is a hunter ability, learned at level 78 for 20g 40s. It increases the attackers chance to hit and chance to deflect spells by 100% and reduces chance ranged attacks will hit him, for 5 seconds, but makes the hunter unable to attack for the duration.

Notes

  • This helps a hunter survive in melee combat.

Patch changes

  • Cataclysm Patch 4.1.0 (2011-04-26): Deterrence no longer requires a melee weapon to be equipped.
  • Cataclysm Patch 4.0.6 (2011-02-08): Now provides 100% chance for melee attacks to miss instead of 100% parry chance. This means that attacks that cannot be parried, notably some rogue abilities, can now be prevented by Deterrence, and the hunter will gain the benefit of Deterrence even if disarmed.
  • Cataclysm Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): Is now available at level 78, up from level 36, and has had its training cost updated.
  • Cataclysm Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): No longer a talent, now available to all hunters.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.3.0 (2009-12-08): Now also increases the chance for ranged attacks to miss the hunter by 100% while under its effect.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04): This ability now allows the hunter to parry spells and attacks from behind as well as in front. Now has a new visual spell effect.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): Design changed to grant 100% parry and 100% chance to "deflect" spells coming from the front, but prevents the Hunter from attacking. Lasts 5 sec. 60 sec. cooldown.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Cooldown reduced to 3 minutes, and now also increases your chance to resist spells by 60%. Now has a new spell effect.
  • WoW Icon update Patch 1.7.0 (2005-09-13): Will now increase parry chance when using Fist Weapons.
