Talk:Incapacitate

What is the difference between sleep and incapacitate? Does one break on DoT's and the other doesn't? - Cowlinator


 * Both break on any sort of damage. Mostly they differ in what causes them and who is immune to them. Functionally they are mostly identical, I believe. --Mikaka 08:01, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Then what would Maim be considered? - Cowlinator

Sap has been changed in patch 2.4; it is no longer considered an Incapacitate effect, rather it is now its own effect. This was changed in order to provide decreased immunities in dungeons, etc. 16:15, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Incapacitate vs Disorient
I've changed the first line of this and the Disorient pages to make them less bafflingly contradictory. Essentially, both pages were claiming to be the 'new' name for the other effect. This is apparently due to changes with 1.9.0, which changed all Disorient effects into Incapacitate effects, and all Confusion effects into Disorient effects. Add in the existence of Knockout effects, and the two pages' definitions were confusing. I've removed the reference to Disorient from this page, and the reference to Knockout from the Disorient page.

The fact that these effects used to be called different names is purely historical (has been for nearly 7 years now) and doesn't need to be stated in the first line of the page; interested people can find it in the patch changes. -- Taohinton (talk) 14:06, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
