Incapacitate

Incapacitate or Knockout, is a form of crowd control that renders a player or NPC unable to move or act for a short period of time. Incapacitate differs from Stun in that Incapacitate effects always break on damage, while Stun effects don't. Incapacitate effects are also often harder to break free from; a mage can for example break a stun by using Blink but will be unable to do so if incapacitated. Incapacitate effects differ from Disorient effects in that the target is stationary rather than wandering about.

Example of Incapacitate effects:

• Demon Hunter: Imprison
• Rogue: Gouge
• Hunter: Freezing Trap
• Monk: Paralysis
• Paladin: Repentance (Talent)
• Engineering gizmo Goblin Rocket Helmet and most bombs and grenades.
• Horned Viking Helmet, a drop from Eric "The Swift", an elite dwarf only killable by Horde characters in Uldaman.

• Ways to remove Incapacitate effects:
• The PvP trinkets
• The Warrior's Berserker Rage
• The Paladin's Divine Shield
• The Hunter's The Beast Within (talent) and Bestial Wrath (talent for pet). Neither break Incapacitate already cast.
