Martyrdom is a priest talent which provides spell pushback and interrupt resistance upon receipt of a critical strike.

Notes

This talent is extremely useful in PvP, where melee classes will often land strings of hits. The Focused Casting effect allows you to continue to cast through these hits, and reduce the duration of interrupts as well.

Known bugs

  • Due to the built in resilience system occasionally counting non-critical hits as critical hits, Focused Casting sometimes does not proc on critical strikes. This system also prevents Focused Casting, Blessed Resilience, and Blessed Recovery from proccing from the same attack the majority of the time.

patch changes

  • Cataclysm Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Removed.
  • WoW Icon update.png Patch 1.9.0 (2006-01-03): This talent will now trigger on melee special abilities as well as on melee swings. The tooltip has been clarified to indicate this ability only works on melee strikes.
