In World of Warcraft.

The first, best solution to anything. [citation needed] 

Pummel is an instant single target warrior interrupt ability. It deals no damage, but if used while the target is casting a spell, will cause the spell to fail, and prevent casting of any spell in the same school for 4 seconds. It has a 15 second cooldown and is not affected by the global cooldown.

Notes[]

  • Pummel is a critical ability for warriors in PvP. See Interrupt for information and tactics on using interrupt effects such as Pummel.
  • With a 4-second lockout and a 15-second cooldown, it is possible to keep a caster locked out of at least one of their magic schools 25% of the time.
  • Since the release of patch 4.1.0 and the removal of Ability warrior shieldbash [Shield Bash], Pummel is the warrior's main interrupt ability.
