I was just trying to fit in with the majority of nonsense in this thread already. :P

We have a level 19 Twink who used to use it in Defense Stance to finish off people (but it is only a tool-tip clarification, so someone is smoking something).

We have one person telling another person they're bad because MB isn't actually a taunt, even though the person to whom they are referring NEVER SAID it was a taunt, and clearly stated how it worked; which got ignored.

Then we have 1 or 2 semi-useful posts asking questions to further clarify what the clarification is actually supposed to be.

Oh, and let's not forget the OP of "LOL" in context with their subject line. Clearly, a thread worthy of abstaining from "First!" posts, right? :P

Edit: grammar

I honestly didn't know they gave mocking blow the hand of reckoning treatment until now. I don't use it often, and when I do, its been when I've been tanking tauntable mobs.

This is a tooltip change, and the change itself was made before so that, like Paladins with hand of reckoning, that arms warriors didn't get extra damage against untauntable mobs and players. Pretty decent extra damage, actually. If you used the minor glyph, its a 125% weapon damage attack.

Sure, its on a 1 minute cooldown, but it'd still increase dps and contribute to burst.

This is a slap to the face.

In fact, you could call it a mocking blow.

Q u o t e:
Seems like this might be a pvp nerf, if so my 29 twink is PISSED, mocking blow was a great way to finish off a target instantly while in defensive stance.

---

I don't think MB has dealt any damage in PvP since 3.0. I'd have to check on my 28 warrior, but it did hurt her in the 19s when this changed.

---

Q u o t e:
As several have pointed out, this was just a tooltip clarification. The ability hasn't changed.

I agree with the notion that there is less of a use for Mocking Blow in the toolbox these days where tanks generally maintain enough threat, at least relative to the "Wait for five Sunders" days.

---

Druids and pally's don't have mocking blow, do they?

Just because I'm slightly confused here, is the HoR change also a tooltip change? I actually like how HoR works on my nub little pally (18 at the moment, I believe). Excellent pulling tool and even more excellent at finish off mobs that like to run away in fear and pull about 20 more guys.

Yes. The HoR change is also just a tooltip clarification.

If the target is vulnerable to taunts, and has not yet reached Taunt DR immunity, then HoR will deal damage to it.
If the target is permanently immune to taunts, such as players in PvP or specially flagged bosses, then HoR will not deal damage to it.
If the target is already targeting the Paladin casting the HoR, then HoR will not deal damage to it.

Mocking Blow is very similar, except it does not have the "not targeting the caster" clause, and it does not have the "immune via Taunt DR" clause.
