Funny moments in WoW

A long, long time ago, while running Kara, our Guild finally made it to the Prince.

After a couple of failed starts our Tank declared that after grabbing Aggro he was having trouble getting into the recommended spot to Tank the Prince, so I suggested he get into place and I Misdirect the Prince onto him.

As everyone moved into their appropriate place I cast Misdirect on our Tank, then slowly approached the Prince, who is a very big boy, and as I got closer to him he just got bigger & bigger. It was an interesting optical illusion that, from my PoV, made it look like I was getting very close to him yet I was still outside shooting Range.

When I finally got close enough for my skills to light up I discovered I was also now close enough to body pull the Prince, which I did. As I stared down the lion's throat I frantically stabbed at my Arcane Shot key, and just before I became the first casualty in Yet Another Wipe it fired, Misdirect kicked in, and the Prince decided he liked the look of our Tank better than he did me.

But as if to highlight just how close I'd come to being crushed, as the Prince turned away my Hunter took a parting swing at him. Yes, with his Axe. The Prince had been that damned close.

Did your virtual life flash before your eyes? Or perhaps the specter of sitting there face down on the floor for a few minutes?

Until he turned away I really thought I was a goner, at least temporarily.

"Guys? I'm not Feigning. Battle Rez? Anyone?"
