Last nights LK attempts had a few odd moments with Necrotic Plague that made us all say "wait what" most of all our dispeler. I will refer to the log here:

http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/...ACTION_FRIENDLY) +or+spell="Cleanse+Spirit"+

The very first Necrotic Plague in that log look wrong too, but I won't use it as my example as its a little messy with Shakka not responding fast enough and it bouncing around in raid for a little. Lets look at the very clear cut dispel on Fount:

[20:41:46.643] The Lich King casts Necrotic Plague on Fount
[20:41:50.725] Neinah casts Cleanse Spirit on Fount
[20:41:50.745] Neinah's Cleanse Spirit dispells Fount's Necrotic Plague
[20:41:51.791] The Lich King Necrotic Plague Fount 32058 (O: 1942, R: 10000)

Both Neinah and myself (Fount) observed the Plague animation jump away from me, and then a second later I died to the sound of Neinah on vent "wtf I swear I dispelled that"

The same thing happened a few times throughout the night as you can see from that log. I have the original log available. Also I cant seem to get the plague jump events in the log using that expression editor, either they do not show up or my skills are not sufficient. If anyone can parse that log in a clearer way it may help.

Looks like we are not the only ones...

I take it this means that last night people were dying to supposedly-dispelled Necrotic Plagues and this prevent a successful downing?

One of the attempts, I saw the plague on Raz a split second before it ate him and Zooggster saw it just -after- he died o_O
There were a few odd things here and there, to say the least.. :p
We kept trying to get rid of these plagues, but something just seemed a bit...off

Hoy, :)

It was more than that. Virtually all the wipes we had on the LK were me failing to dispel the disease. A couple were no fault of mine, they were bugs, like, say, Raz being told by the game that he had it after he died, or suddenly dying for new reason, only to find the disease prominently listed in his combat log.

But, at least two were simply me not reacting in time, due to the moronic new layout of the raid frames. Used to be the disease was completely and obviously visible in the default frames. Now, it's just not. I'm going to have to re-learn how to read the bloody interface, or alternatively, cave in and install an add-on like decursive or some such.

All of this compounded by the fact that we started the raid an hour late and failed abysmally in RS for yet another hour, meaning we only got to ICC well after 10PM server... :(

On a brighter note, we downed Sindragosa on the third attempt...

Meh. I suppose new expansions are always hiccuppy times...

Another interesting bug, to be blamed on the new lockout system, is the fact that the game will randomly dub a player as an "Invalid Target" for summonage from inside the instance. The highlight of frustration was when, after a particularly fast wipe, Raz came to life in the Frozen Throne... in a different raid lockout. As you know, there's no way out of that room, so he hearths to Dalaran... then legs it all the way to the instance, because, naturally, he's an Invalid Target. And after the next wipe, it happens again. Except now, his HS is on cooldown...

I think that's just about when we called it...

Cheers,
J.

Zoog: there is an option in the interface options to only show debuffs that you can dispel. That might be worth using if you aren't already :)

Had things set. Was seeing these Necrotic bug things as well :p
And I's using Decursive.
Example: The death of Raz where Necrotic Plague registered as on him after death. Popped onto his Decursive icon after he died.

Yes, there is. Unfortunately, that option hides Weakened Soul, which sort of kills Discipline priest game play... :rolleyes:
