Does it require line of sight? I guess hitting a mob half way across the map would just make the mob evade, but if you could target an enemy player at range, could you kill him just by buffing yourself in the centre of Shatt?

Several things came to my mind while reading this thread.

Last time I was main tanking Illidan and we reached phase 4. One demon targetted the warlock tank that tanked Illidan in demon form, two demons were targetting me while I stood way back, far away from Illidan. The DPSers first killed the warlock's demon, then went after some others and killed mine last (usually they go after mine with priority, so I can get back to Illidan). Unfortunately, when my demon went down, Illidan was already in the transition to phase 3 again, and I was approximately 100 yards away from him. I think that [Swiftness Potion] saved us our kill...

Also, like many tanks before me have experienced: on one of our Kalecgos tries, one of my healers accidently BoPed me. First I was like, nice, my Hyjal ring procced again, until the dragon turned around and was gone...

One time I managed to tank Lady Vashj with my [Riding Crop] equipped. Successfully. I don't think anyone ever noticed, and I'm glad they didn't (well, now they know ).

Given that the Pendant has a 45 second cooldown, I doubt you could kill someone by zapping him with 300 arcane damage every so often before he noticed and did something about it.

Littlefinger

While farming Azgalor one of our pally tanks was helping out healing but accidentally missclicked and DIed the feral tank causing a wipe.

While learning Illidan there was always people standing too close at the pull so that they almost got hit by him before the missdirect hits and Illidan goes off to the MT. After a long night of tries we only get time for one last pull before calling the raid for the night and this time a fury warrior is standing a little too close. Before the missdirect hits he gets oneshotted by Illidan and I'm thinking this is it for the night. We keep going though and since we don't want to waste our combatres unless it's for a healer the warrior is left dead. We end up killing Illidan for the first time that pull.

45 seconds cooldown? Where did you get this number from? From experience gained on my one and only heroic MgT run while wearing the necklace I can tell you that it can chain proc. I had to re-sheep some mobs 3 times because that stupid necklace kept breaking it right after the poly cast. Much to the amusement of my friends on voice chat when they heard me swearing "jeez, stop proc'ing you stupid necklace!".

On topic: as you can see, you can add me to the list of people who were stupid enough to use this necklace (Scryers version). It's banked now until they fix it.

You know that you play too much WoW if you partners pants become a rare drop.

 

Prinsesa

While I don't have it myself (planning on it though!), a 40-50 second internal cooldown seems to be the consensus from parsed combat logs (and would match that of Aldor).

There's a lot of creative uses for the extreme long range and "proc" off anything behavior though:
Steal-tag quest mobs from Alliance miles away
Tankadins can use it to pull mana-less and Shield-unfriendly packs
Scare the crap out of people by pulling resetting bosses
Stop a Mage's drink from across WSG's midfield

Emanon

Sounds like you spellstole seal of wrath?

 

Caryna

I have stopped doing that a while ago (and it's a different effect from the necklace anyway).

You know that you play too much WoW if you partners pants become a rare drop.

 

Arnath

In particular, I know the necklace procs off of Lifebloom (if someone wearing the necklace gets it cast on them). For fun we managed to pull Prince in Kara while standing outside Aran's room (although he resets when he gets through the door or something).

 

PsyBomb

So, back to idiotic things done...

Mt. Hyjal. I don't know if anyone else has ever had this happen, but epics dropping on the 8th wave of trash wipe raids.

To teach and to learn, to laugh and make others laugh. This is my purpose, and any day in which I don't wasn't worth the time it took to get through.

 

Vihermaali

Felmyst has brought a whole new arrays of creative ways to wipe the raid. One of fellow priests was chaincasting Mass Dispel, while waiting for someone to arrive in Brutallus's area. Then Felmyst decided to fly over the spot he was Mass dispelling and *boom*, lots of hilarity. If he had not done it, I definately would have: the graphic is so damn pretty.

 

Smurrf

One of our pallys, in the middle of attempting to kill Fathom Lord (he was tanking Sharkiss) just could not gain aggro. All he could do was watch helplessly as the mob went wandering here, there, and everywhere...whacking people as he went.

After, while we were waiting to get rezzed up for another try, I send him a tell.

"Did you have Righteous Fury up?"

"Oh no...you're right. I must have missed it...please don't tell anyone?

::sigh::


On the good side though, if anyone ever misses this again...whack 'em one. PallyPower has always been good for figuring out buffs and making it simple, especially with multiple pallies. Now they've updated it and added in a tab for Righteous Fury on the buff panel...should never forget it again.

 

maddfez

After a couple shaky pulls due to just this occurrence, I've started mandating that 8th wave loot gets passed out after the boss dies or not at all. We've had some damn fast boss kills due to this...

 

Domhnall

Some of my favorite phrases to hear while raiding:
"Oops, I was (or am) in my threat set."

"The boss got behind me somehow."

"Can one of the destro locks get an imp out?"

"I didn't see *massive raid damage aoe*"

"I don't know:
A)where *low health raid member* was
B)what happened to me
C)where my Tear/Spine/required item went
D)who I was supposed to be healing"

And my personal favorite:
"Don't worry guys, we're doing fine."

But I once got aggro from Hydross during the pull by applying Curse of Doom after our tank's opening swing missed.

 

Kamaegwyn

The MT falling off the platform while tanking Al'ar is good for a laugh or two.

 

Jebraltar

There is a Druid in my guild who got splatted at the very least fifteen times due to applying Faerie Fire and/or Insect Swarm before the tank got a chance to hit the mob. I still don't understand the rush.

 

Aural

The other raiding Shadowpriest in my guild managed to explode himself on RoS phase 2 with a simple Shadowwordeath crit. It didn't even take deaden.

When asked why he died, he said that he'd taken too much damage from the AoE. /facepalm.

Also, for the life of me, I can't seem to manage to dodge the volcano spawn on Supremus. ><

A lesson that my druid friend taught an Alliance Mage: Don't mess with a druid when you're trying to farm the Skettis trees! He got ganked in the middle of killing a tree, so he followed the mage around in Stealth, waited until he'd looted the tree, Cycloned him, stole his herbs and flew off. Guess the guy didn't have his PvP trinket on him, since he pulled the trick 4 more times.

 

Enova

That, mate, is not stupid. Well, the mage is, but the cyclone thing is purely brilliant.

 

Domhnall

In my case, for some crazy reason we switched phases as close to right after the fourth mark as possible, so I'd throw up a Doom ASAP to make it go off right before the boss transitioned. This was back when our raid dps sucked ass, so I was trying everything I could.

 

doogless

Last night a Rogue wiped us in KZ by Shadow Stepping Nightbane as he took off. He appeared behind Nightbane just after the dragon had taken off, and then dropped down off the balcony. The skeletons then spawned on the Rogue, and the healers were teleported down to there. We usually blame this Rogue when anything goes wrong just out of tradition, it was actually a bit odd have a wipe be legitimately his fault.

 

Soraxis

One of my guilds first Vael attempts, I knew he did quite a bit of /yelling before he actually started fighting and me being the RPer that I am, felt the urge to spam my /yell macros as well (about 3 of them 3-4 lines each). Whole guild was sitting there yelling at me "GODDAMNIT SORAXIS WE CANT SEE ANYTHING", somebody took a screenshot of it and posted it as proof that we roleplayed as a guild. Of course...we wiped and everybody blamed it on me for pissing vael off

I also remember having a shaman app who NEVER brought any ankhs to raids, 5mans, UBRS, whatever. I ended up having to stock up on ankhs and start handing them out before pulls to make sure we all had them (me being a mage)

Oh yeah, pre-BC whenever we went through UD strat, if I got MCed, somebody died, end of story...I was pretty much the best geared mage on the server and yet I would still run pugs with friends and such (and do 60-70% of the total damage in doing so) so whenever I got MCed and didnt decide to ice block, people other than me had problems :P

"Time is like a monkey, you think its there and then its gone eating a banana."

Just walking around org you can find 5-10 just as bad >_<. I'm not sure how people even get to 70, the hunters who actually grind the honor for vindicators (ele shaman variety...) and warlocks with +healing and spirit gems/enchants in their t4 pieces. It's like a car wreck, you feel bad but can't look away.

 

Kolmar

A couples friends and I go to UD Strat and kill the Baron a few times every so often. The banshee is indeed the most challenging boss at 70; after one particularly harrowing ordeal in which I had slaughtered both the resto druid and a still-green enhancement shaman I was politely asked to bugger off for a bit during that encounter.

Last week, I was rebinding a key whilst autorunning down to Archimonde. I hear a "Kolmar, no!" and escape from the bindings menu to find one very angry Eredar charging me down, crushing me and my talbuk into one squishy mass. The reason I was binding? I had hit slash (opens chat line for commands) instead of backslash (Tears of the Goddess) and wiped the raid when I cratered. I was binding slash to it in hopes that I could prevent another disastrous encounter.
