Intimidating Shout is an AoE fear effect shout ability which causes the target to become incapacitated for 8 seconds, although any damage will break the effect. It also causes an additional 5 enemies within 8 yards to flee in fear.

Notes

  • Any damage taken by the target will break the effect, even that caused by DoTs such as Ability backstab [Deep Wounds] or Ability gouge [Rend]. The fear affecting the additional enemies is less likely to break upon damage.
  • This ability is possibly one of the most dangerous things a warrior can do in an Instance, as more often than not feared enemies will end up triggering new enemies, and once the 8 seconds are up, the original enemies will return with help.
  • When glyphed Inv glyph minorwarrior [Glyph of Intimidating Shout] it is potentially very useful in an Instance. The glyph causes the affected mobs to tremble in place for the duration.
  • While soloing, it can be useful to escape if things are going badly. Using this, in combination with a Piercing Howl (Talent Shout), can buy the warrior enough of a head start to run clear of the fight, but this is best done in outdoor environment. In enclosed spaces, such as mines, caves or Instances, it usually causes more trouble than it saves. Also, Intimidating Shout can be used on a single target to stun them for 8 seconds. Any damage will break the stun so use Intimidating Shout (preferably while backing out of melee range), target yourself and bandage. You can use about 80% of a bandage this way.
  • In PvP combat, this ability really shines - used in combination with Ability warrior charge [Charge], a single warrior can totally disrupt an enemy front line, allowing supporting ranged and pet classes to take advantage of the ensuing chaos.

Patch changes

  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): Cooldown reduced from 3 to 2 minutes.
