0.1 Answers to Oft-asked Questions
1. Shield Block still removes Crushing Blows from the combat table.
2. 490 Defense is the Defense "goal" to remove critical strikes from the combat table. Creatures cannot critically strike players with special abilities.
3. Shield Mastery affects Shield Slam (0.7).
4. Dodge and Parry are not the same (0.4.1).
5. Shield Slam is the highest-threat Warrior ability on the Global Cooldown. Revenge follows behind, and can cost as little as 2 rage. Sunder Armor and Devastate follow immediately behind this. Order your ability usage accordingly.
6. Spell Reflect will reflect or negate most single-target spells. It will reflect the single target aspect of some spell volleys, such as Shadowbolt Volley. It will not reflect pure AOE skills, such as Frost Nova.
7. The daze effect from Piercing Howl does not increase damage from Heroic Strike.
8. All modifiers that affect threat increases are additive -- meaning, Defiance and Defensive Stance produce a full 45% increase in threat. All modifiers that decrease threat are multiplicative.
