Lifetapping out of CC

[Venjendor]

kind of like the shadow word:death

if u life tap at the exact same time u get inflicted with things such as poly, sap, blind, ext.
the life tap will actually get you out of it

could be common sense, but i did a search and no one mentioned anything about it

i normally spam life tap (rank 1) as soon as i see the spell is about to be finished.

I've heard this theory before and it doesn't work. You can resist the CC however. Which is probably what happened with you.

I've heard similar theories about Ignis in Ulduar and his flame jets. Casting instant spells or jumping when there's 0.2secs left of casting.
Doesn't work either but can be resisted.

Im not sure if this method would work, but for holy paladins our bane is generally being cc'd in arenas.

To stop being CC'd as any spec paladin: Seal of Blood judgement on a target as the cc is going off that WON'T absorb, you'll be broken out of it.

Hope it helps.

@pyre, that was known for about the last ~20 years, @venj, doens't work

[Shleven]

@Soto, your an idiot. Venjedor if you could set up a video of this i will rep you.

[ChildeRoland]

I will test with Blood Tap next arena fight to see if ti work as dK.

[Kazin420]

I avoid getting tossed into the air on 80% of the flame jets in the fight every week that way...

no way im resisting it that often.

[Haya]

it's the same with sw:d ... you don't need a video for it, good arena-paladins use it.
it's a bit harder to use than sw:d though.

exactly..

ill try and get a video of it

it happened completely by accident when a mage polymorphed me i life tapped and it went away and the mage was still mid-cast of a frostbolt...

ill do some testing within a duel.. and make a video

you're :wave:

this is same as paladin.. seal of blood

basicly what you need is cast it right before mage sheeps you or rogue saps etc..

but you need good timing to make this good

for all you nublets who tried with dk's, You need to lose hp.. and timing

DKs lose health too. But only if you don't use the associated Glyph (Most Blood DKs do I assume, wouldn't know as I am unholy) ^^

Blood Tap, Costs 6% of base HP
Glyph of Blood Tap, removes HP cost

The reason shadow word death works is because the damage done to the priest is calculated shortly after the damage done to the target, allowing it to damage the priest after polymorph lands.

This isnt the case with warlocks. life tap instantly takes away the health on the cast, there is no delay.
