I propose a new method in the long history of barbarians disdaining magic:

1) Put up Swan and Serenity.
2) Gweth asking for a gate.
3) Profit, since your wards resist almost every step (Locate, Shift Moonbeam, Moongate)

Unfortunately, just by adding more mana they'll be able to locate you. Once Barbs start capping skills for the Swan + Serenity combination then it may be another story.

The great thing about Swan alone is that it completely negates stealth locates. Love it.

You can be located if they add more mana.

You can only stealth locate when you are at a long distance and min prep/snap cast it. The person located gets no message of being located. People used this often (usually with alts) just to track down their target without their target ever knowing. Since Swan negates min prepped spells, we can never be stealth located with it up. :D

Stealth locates.

Guessing that it's because Barbs can tell when the spell triggers their barrier.

This is one of the best things ever. Thanks for posting about it, Vinjince.
