| − | '''Demoralizing shout''' is a flat rate attack power reduction shout. It it the opposite of [[Battle Shout]], essentially. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Functionality== |
||
| − | Demoralizing Shout is a 10 [[Rage]] ability that reduces attack power by a certain amount in a 10 yard radius. Demoralizing shout will pull non-hostile monsters and will put you into PvP mode if it hits nearby hostile players while in your own territory, so be careful with it. |

||
| − | * [[Booming Voice]]: Increase range and duration (10%/20%/30%/40%/50%) |
||
| − | * [[Improved Demoralizing Shout]]: Increase attack power reduction (8%/16%/24%/32%/40%) |
||
| − | * [[Focused Rage]]: Decrease rage cost (1/2/3) |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Notes=== |
||
| − | |||
| − | *Cannot be used while [[Silence|silenced]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *Your opponent's Attack Power can not be reduced below zero. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *It is strongly advised to debuff the enemy AP for the mobs/bosses that rely on heavy melee damage. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Many players do not realize that NPCs use different AP scales than players. While players gain 1 [[DPS]] per 14 AP at all levels, NPCs do not. Lv60 elites have been tested to gain about 1 DPS per 2 AP; this means NPCs are affected much more strongly by changes to their AP. For stronger encounters (such as raid bosses), the testing indicates that they have a similar amount of AP, but their damage scales up significantly faster! When you consider many bosses have attacks that deal a multiple of their normal damage, then the stacking effect of AP becomes very apparent. |
||
| − | |||
| − | For example: |
||
| − | * [[Magmadar]]: Normal: 1867 - 2476 damage. With demo: 1512 - 2121 damage. (-16.3%) |
||
| − | * [[Maexxna]]: Normal: 5491 - 7281 damage. With demo: 4448 - 6238 damage. (-16.3%) |
||
| − | |||
| − | For most level 60 encounters, the observed AP value appears to be ~300 AP. Also, the damage contribution from that AP is ~30% of the NPC's total melee damage. This implies that reducing the NPC's Attack Power to zero will reduce their melee damage by ~30%. So on those encounters, you should apply Demoralizing Shout and [[Screech]], to fully debuff the target's AP. |

||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | For level 70 encounters, preliminary testing has shown that the AP value has not increased drastically (~340 AP). However, the damage contribution appears to have decreased, to around 15% of the NPC's total melee damage.<br> |

||
| − | This range is consistent with Beast Lore results for testing the effects of modifying the AP of NPCs:<br> |

||
| − | |||
| − | ==Tips and Tactics== |
||
| − | * Usually useful while tanking, as you want to die slowly. |
||
| − | * Brings stealthed units out of stealth if it hits them. |
||
| − | * Obviously this [[skill]] should be used when fighting multiple [[mobs]] where its effects are multiplied. However it is even worth using against a single enemy, even one that is slightly inferior. The damage reduction is noticeable and it is cheap to apply. For solo grinding on [[melee]] mobs, many warriors start off with a charge followed by demoralizing shout. |
||
| − | * Be aware if there are [[neutral]] mobs nearby using demoralizing shout (or any other [[debuff]]) will cause them to turn [[hostile]]. |
||
| − | * Does not break [[crowd control]]. |
||
| − | * Does not stack with the warlock spell [[Curse of Weakness]], and neither with the similar druid [[bear form]] skill [[Demoralizing Roar]]. The curse is generally the strongest, but can be overwritten by a talented shout. An untalented shout can be overwritten by a talented roar. |
