Slow is a mage ability learned at level 36 for those that have chosen the Arcane specialization. It slows movement for 15 seconds.
Background[]
The Mages of Lordaeron have been able to create a spell that hinders both movement and reflex. By warping the very patterns of time that surround his target, Slow enables the caster to bring an enemy's offensive to a crawl. Time cannot be held in check by even the mightiest of Mages, however, so the effects of this temporal shift cease as the power of the spell wanes.[1]
Notes[]
This is very powerful Crowd Control ability, and if used correctly, can save more lives than [Ice Block].
Abilities that specifically dispel snares will remove the entire debuff, including the negative haste effect. This includes Blessing of Freedom, Escape Artist, and [Living Action Potion].
Slow is dispelled as a magic type debuff.
This spell will overwrite the debuff given from [Cone of Cold].
Tips and tricks[]
This is useful against most classes in PvP. For melee classes, the snare is as effective as any frost-based snare, and the cast is instant, meaning it can be cast on the run to better escape.
This ability counts as a snare for the purpose of Torment the Weak, but since every tanking class also has a snare, it is seldom necessary in PvE.
