the perils of the dungeon finder
Oct. 11th, 2010 01:29 amI finally had one of those awesome groups that sometimes happen in the random dungeon finder. Great healy priest, awesome death knight DPS, really nice mage, and me and SC. The priest kept me healed through accidentally standing in shit in four separate dungeons. The DK was actually sometimes second on the aggro table instead of me, so I only got feared half the time instead of all the time. Everybody was super nice, and we worked together well as a team, and everyone stuck around for food breaks and bathroom breaks and someone having to make a repair trip and even that time we wiped in Underbog because Swamplord Musel'ek evade bugged. (Well, technically it wasn't a wipe wipe, since SC managed to cast divine intervention on me in time, so I got rez everyone instead. :D)
AND NOW I AM SO SAD THAT THEY WERE ALL ON DIFFERENT SERVERS AND I WILL NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN. :(
edit: Also! Dumb question time! You know how when there's a group of mobs, and you attack one and the others chain aggro too? Today in these dungeons (mostly in Hellfire Ramparts and Blood Furnace, but I noticed it sometimes in Slave Pens and Underbog too) I noticed that SC would pull a group and before the extra dudes aggroed onto him via his consecrate, they would target me for a split second. (I was far enough away that they didn't attack me. I just had a lot of "CHANGED TARGET!" messages.) The only damage I'd maybe have been doing to them would have been via my ret aura at that point, which doesn't produce threat when someone else gets hit, right? (ie. when SC gets hit, the damage from my ret aura adds to his aggro, not mine.) I didn't have on Righteous Fury or anything dumb like that. Maybe it was from the healing effect from a Divine Storm at the end of the previous pull? I have no idea. Do you? (Slave Pens was when we picked up the DK, so perhaps it's an aggro table thing?)
