Silence is a priest Shadow spell that silences the target, preventing them from casting spells for 5 seconds.
Notes
This also interrupts any spell that is being cast by the target.
In PvP against casters, this can simply disable them for 5 secs.
In PvE, it IS NOT worthless. In fact, there are many caster-type mobs and they can be annoying since they can't be pulled like normal mobs. Pulling with silence will cause them to come to you to engage in melee. OR, it can stop a mob's healing which is sometimes very useful.
In PvP when used against Paladins, they can use Divine Shield to remove the Silence effect. So preferably it should be used when they have already popped DS.
"Silence" is also a general term for other spells such as Arcane Torrent that have the same effect.
Patch changes
- Patch 3.2.0 (PTR): This ability will also apply a 3 second interrupt effect against non-player controlled targets, making it more versatile against creatures immune to silencing effects.
- Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): Range increased to 30 yards.
