Around Azeroth: How not to use Divine Intervention

Are you familiar with the paladin's Divine Intervention ability? Well, if not, it's an ability that sacrifices the life of the paladin in order to put a protective shield around another player. It's a handy thing to cast on someone who can rez when you're sure a full-party (or raid) wipe is imminent. However, Suricate sends in this screenshot of a less traditional use of the skill -- to save the life of a rogue. (Hey, can't you guys vanish?!)

Ahh, you neglect to mention the shrewd paladin's likely motive, which is to save himself from taking durability loss. A last-ditch DI when no priest or pally is around to save, while it might not help the raid, still helps the paladin's pocketbook :)

Atleast it's useful and not an innervate or something... I've gotten those once or twice since the druid forgot to change targets before casting it.

Wow. That is the ultimate griefer spell.
Do you have to be grouped with someone for it to work, though?
But seriously. You don't like someone on your own side? just divine intervention them and they're stuck for like, 5 minutes.
Actually you can probably click it off :-(
Too bad i don't play ally, that's a sweet move.

DI on the main tank during a nef fight = cruise control to fun

as a Rogue I often get a Intervention.
Simply because Divine Intervention has no other use than to save the paladin some money. A Soulstone is always active, and so the paladin throws his shield at the first person around to save himself some repair costs.. Just like I use to Lifetap me to near death and then use Hellfire when I'm playing my Warlock.
Simply another way to get your repair costs lowered ;)

I'm still hoping Shadow Word: Death will be able to save us priests some repair costs after BC!
