Tips and tactics

This ability will not remove the [Dazed] effect caused by running from mobs, or a hunter's [Concussive Shot] effect.
In Warsong Gulch, when protecting the flag carrier, take note of the number of enemy priests or shaman around before casting Blessing of Freedom. They can easily dispel it. Also, a mage can [Spellsteal] it.
