Incapacitate or Knockout effects are a form of crowd control that render a player or NPC unable to move or act for a short time. Incapacitate differs from Stun in that Incapacitate effects always break on damage, while Stun effects never break on damage. Incapacitate effects include the Rogue's Gouge ability, the Paladin talent Repentance, the Druid's Maim skill, the Engineering gizmo Goblin Rocket Helmet, and the quest reward Horned Viking Helmet.

Incapacitate can be broken by taking damage, or by using the Warrior ability Berserker Rage or the Hunter talent Bestial Wrath.

In Patch 1.9, the meanings of Incapacitate and Disorient were changed. In Patch 2.4, Sap was changed and is no longer considered an incapacitate effect. This page reflects the latest usage.
