shanker said:so if a player is CC'd....sheeped, rooted, netted, sapped, and gouged......one can whack them with a shadowfang and it won't break those CC's? lol................and while gouged you can hit them and with your shadowfang and they stay gouged? really
I figured my intention was fairly clear but I guess I'll have to explain it. A number of CC abilities back in the day also were able to trigger weapon procs, talent procs and weapon enchants (Temporary and permament). This led to a problem with the damaging procs actually breaking the CC created by the attack that triggered the proc. Blizzard has since fixed most if not all these incidents. The exceptions are weapon procs that apply DoTs. If applied by the CC ability itself or an attack preceding it, the DoT WILL break the CC. SV has such a DoT type proc. If SV procs on or prior to the Gouge, it reduces the effectiveness of the Rogue's one CC ability they can use in combat at 19. If you are using SF, you can get the extra damage without it threatening your own fragile CC. It's akin to deciding between using Instant Poison against Deadly Poison in PvP before Envenom received so many buffs.
