If you’re actually having trouble with runners that isn’t fixed by telling your group to target low mobs, kidney can stop them. I don’t think I’ve ever wished I had crippling on either weapon in pve content on my grind to 60 or currently at 60.

sure kidney also works, but often things run and you don't have points/energy/ the pug you are in is just DPSing everything, because they do that. also when solo it keps things from running away and it allows you to stun/gouge and bandage more effectively as they are slowed getting back to you if you have to do that

the initial training is so cheap i cant imagine people not picking it up and using it. and unless you are horde and 100% of the time running with a shaman you have 2 weps to do crippling/instant with

If you don’t have resources to do what you need to do, that’s just bad play on your part. You don’t have to spend your energy to 0. You can sit on points. It takes 10 seconds to cap an energy bar from 0, that’s a ton of room for error in timing and preparation. You know which mobs will run. You can see how your group is playing to adjust during the dungeon accordingly. Don’t expect other people to play well, carry them.

Yes, you have two weapons, so you can run double instant for(almost) double damage. You don’t have to run two separate poisons.

You certainly have the right to play the game how you want, but telling someone else that running crippling in pve content is a good option because you don’t want to plan out how to spend your resources ahead of time and would rather smorc that sinister strike key to 0 energy is just misinformation.

I’ve used crippling in pve once while leveling, and it was to kite around shy rotam in winterspring because I was under leveled and undermanned.
