![]() ![]() Eventually you die, you curse your friend for being afk and curse Fade for not working. Fade then expires, and you regain your previously lost threat and so you are now at 2000 threat. The monsters will now attack you again despite fade because you have reacquired new threat. ![]() Meanwhile you continue to attack the monsters again and build up another 1000 threat whilst still under the effects of fade. However your friend has gone afk, and remains at 500 threat. You then hit fade and lower your threat to 0 and as expected, the monsters will now attack your friend. You pull 5 monsters and build up 1000 threat on all of them. While you are faded, you can still acquire threat from actions which you take! So please do not assume that while under the effects of fade, you are immune from aggro - you are not.įor example say you are in a 2 man team with a friend. This means that in some uncommon circumstances, it is possible for monsters to re-aggro you after fade expires, for example if no one built up any threat during this time period. Once the duration of fade expires, you regain all the threat you previously held. However it can also be someone who is AoEing, etc. ![]() In the majority of cases, this is usually the tank. Any monsters that were previously aiming for you will now seek out the person who has become highest on their threat list. When you cast fade, your threat level is reduced to 0. Still, it can buy you those few extra seconds you need if you're slow in reaching a frost patch.Ĭomment by 323093There seems to be some confusion as to how fade works, so allow me to explain. I'm not entirely certain of this mechanic - it appears that he will go back to pursuing you after Fade ends, and if you don't use it properly you will probably just get somebody else killed (always fun!). If Anub'arak is pursuing you, Fade will stop him from following you with his spikes. This can be very useful for PvP.Īnother interesting use of Fade is in Trial of the Crusader. Being as you're a clothie and it's entirely possible to get one shot by most mobs, Fade becomes a great 'clutch' ability for heroics and raids.Īs already mentioned, Fade also becomes Escape Artist on crack if you are an appropriately specced shadow priest. However, there are plenty of situations that can occur where a mob has yet to be hit or picked up by a tank, and as a healer, it's likely that the mob is going to come for you. You simply won't generate the threat required. With the current state of affairs it should be nigh on impossible to steal aggro from tanks. Comment by SarkisDo not underestimate this ability! No other healing class receives a 'threat-deferral' mechanism like this. ![]()
