Hammer of Justice: This ability will now still interrupt casting even if the victim is immune to the stun due to diminishing returns.

From Patch 3.1

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/patch3p10.html

It was never the intent that they cause both a stun AND an interrupt. The original change was made to let the interrupts work on stun-immune targets (generally a boss). A target upon which a stun has DR'd is not the same as a stun immune target. The original change was not intended as a stun buff for PvP.

that is all.

Q u o t e:
What? You've never had a boss's DR keep your HoJ from silencing him...lmao.

What GC meant to see was that HE (he being GC) never wanted HoJ's interrupt to be useful for PvP. You should know better than to buy his excuses anyways. Anytime he's caught blowing smoke (i.e this thread) he will either ban you or just not respond in hopes the thread will die. Or delete the thread lol.


We don't ban people for disagreeing with us or asking questions. We ban them when they're acting like jerks. :(

Look, I have no reason to lie about this. If we changed our minds on it, I'd just say we changed our minds. We changed our minds on Vindication recently. We do it all the time. But in this case, the intent was to let some of these abilities be used to interrupt bosses that are immune to stuns and not to buff the stuns for PvP. The patch note was in error and I never noticed it until now.

I'm not quite sure why the community has such a fascination with trying to catch us in inconsistencies. It's not like we ever say "Oops, you caught us. Guess we can't nerf it. Sad face." The game is full of inconsistencies. It's a complex game.
