Mandatory PvP Talents

Situational PvP Talents
Zen Focus Tea helps Mistweavers deal with one of their greatestweaknesses, being interrupted.

Grapple Weapon disarms the enemy for 6 seconds. This can becrucial utility against teams with a melee DPS on it. This is also a greatoption when playing against Death Knights. When you Disarm them, they will not be ableto heal and can result in you killing them.
Eminence allows you to use Transcendence: Transfer whilestunned. This talent can be useful versus teams with mobile melee specs on them(Demon Hunter, Windwalker, Feral Druid) or against teams that rely on setup toget kills (Jungle and RMP).
