Overview
Shield Bash is the only Warrior spell break ability, now that pummel is lost to the ether. It breaks any spell the target is currently casting and locks out any spell from that school of magic. It requires a shield (obviously), which means using this skill restricts your equipment choices.
Functionality
Shield bash costs 10 Rage, and has a cooldown of 10 seconds. This generally means that you can lock a caster out of certain schools of magic for all but 4 seconds. There is a Talent availible that can give you either a 50% or 100% chance of completely silencing the target for 3 seconds. Combined with 
[Charge] or 
[Intercept], not much should be able to stop you from silencing a caster.
| Damage | Lockout Duration | Level | Cost | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | 6 Damage | 6 seconds | 12 | 8 |
| Rank 2 | 18 Damage | 6 seconds | 32 | Template:Money2 |
| Rank 3 | 45 Damage | 6 seconds | 52 | Template:Money2 |
Tips and Tactics
This can be pretty useful while tanking. Interrupting a spellcasting mob usually results in them switching to melee attacks, which are generally not so painful (especially with a warrior's high armor) and also allows you to pull them back, out of sight of wandering mobs.
