The Dumb Table

Interesting.

Yeah its better to save it till they pull it. Fade lasts 8 seconds, cooldown is 30.  

 

If they pull aggro after the threat comes back, they're out of luck.  

 

While they're faded, the healing they do doesn't make less threat after fade is done.

 

Fade only removes a specific amount of threat for 8 seconds and then whatever it reduced, it applies back after the 8 seconds is up. The priest still generates threat as normal while in fade. It will not reduce threat to negitive (I don't even think threat can be negitive) so there must be other players on the agro list inorder for fade to do anything at all.

 

Example:

 

Warriorguy has 1000 Threat

Roguedude has 888 Threat

Priestgirl has 955 Threat

 

Then Priestgirl lands a critical heal adding 500 to her threat, she gets agro and hits fade.

 

Prior to fade

Warriorguy 1000

Rouguedude 888

Priestgirl 1455

 

After fade (assuming that fade reduces 500 Threat, no one really knows how much the tempory reduciton is for).

 

W: 1000

R: 888

P: 955

 

If the priest does nothing while fade is active the warrior will have 8 seconds to build his threat up 1456 points or once fade is done the priest will regain agro. If the preist continues to cast spells and such during the fade effect, those spells will add to her 955 threat.

 

Once the the 8 sec fade is complete, the Priests agro will be increased by the exact amount it was decreased by 8 seconds earlier. (In our example 500 threat.) So if the peist while in fade, generated an additional 500 agro and the warrior durning that 8 secs only generated 800 agro, once fade is complete the priest will regain agro with 1995 to the tanks 1800.

 

So the proper way to fade is;

 

1. Wait untill your get agro, fade and stop casting unless absolutly necessary.

2. When Nef or Ony type trank transitions occur where the tank needs to (re)establish agro mid fight.

 

If you fade whenever active, the preist could still genrate too much agro while in the fade effect and will not have a way to reduce threat (except death) for the next 22 seconds.

 

Tonight we did Vael and no priest got BA, same with last kill. Other times its only priests. You get people afk in the other room get BA sometimes, its just random. (looks at klaudia)

 

The BA targets a random party member (anyone in combat in BWL during the fight) and every so often (every 2nd or 3rd BA I forget) it targets the player currently with agro (aka the tank if we are winning).

Or you can be like me.

 

Once I have aggro... if I Fade or not... it's coming to kill me.

 

 

True story.

Blame the tank, that's what everyone else does.

I auto ran into Major Domo one night.... like when we were having problems with him... luckily I was the only casualty and didn't end up pulling a Valdez

 

Pshhh. You wish you could wipe raids like me.

 

I figure I'm somewhere between a Pinhead and an Ignoramus.

I seem to remember Eni pulling the top floor in UBRS and Stang telling me and HV not to heal him until he realized that we actually could pull it off. Apparently one of the guys was making faces at Eni and she had to show him who was boss...

Nothing will beat chasing Kai around Ironforge on my paladin just to DI him. Hahahaha, man that was funny.

DId a warlock and a mage today in pvp. PST Shad and Duncan for proof.
