Source So no mocking blow in PVP?

Burstacide		I always thought it was a bug that it dealt no damage against players. Guess not... Seems like they're standing behind glitchy imlementation and calling it balance. Similar to how death grip works on bladestorm while knockbacks do not....

Woulda been nice to have an attack once every minute in low rage situations or when other attacks are on cooldown.

If it makes me weaker, it's glitchy implementation. If it makes me stronger, it's balance.

This was just a tooltip correction. The functionality of Mocking Blow hasn't changed -- it was always intended to be a tanking tool. I'm pretty sure you'll be fine in PvP despite this "nerf."

I'm surprised you even took the time to respond to this GC, even I know the matter is minor since it's only a tooltip change. I get the feeling you just wanted to try and make me look dumb thinking that I didn't understand that it was merely a tooltip change.


I wasn't trying to single you out. Our tooltip changes get reported on news sites and players then sometimes think they were nerfed. We try to patch note actual changes. I wanted to clarify that we haven't changed Mocking Blow, so I was trying to address the topic more than you specifically.

We understand that some players think taunts should work in PvP. That's a valid viewpoint and I wouldn't mock (rimshot) anyone for it. We just think it would be annoying.
