Tactics for when it goes belly-up

[Nilliam]

<div></div>When the excrement starts hitting the rotating air mover. When it goes pear shaped. When it all goes horribly Pete Tong. When the groups starts to wipe - but you save the day.

It takes <2sec to cast all of these, and most of that is waiting for my target to change:Complacency  (in case there is a mob beating on me)Divine Recovery (not so much to speed up these very quick casting spells, but for anything following, also helps tank to AoE faster, and rest of group to deaggro/dps)Benificence      (Group emergency reactive) /target <MT>    (should be a macro anyway)<small delay>Salvation            (anti 1 shot)Radiance          (single emergency reactive)Too unpredictable after that - could be Divine Arbitration, Could be Focussed Intercession, Stun, A cure, SwapTargetAndReverenceAMage ....<div></div>

hmm...there is no recipe here..it highly depends on the situation and the target.The only thing that remains the same is my "oh [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]" macro:Basically I have several of my spells queue in one macro and keep hitting it repeatedly (DR first then then both free reactives, normal reactives and so on until the longer cast heals come - by then you should either have a bit of time to breath or you are dead anyway <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />)<div></div>

When its really bad... I love the idea of a "OH MY GOD" type macro, or if you are with your guild, how 'bout a fun little "Why not pull the whole zone while yer at it, Meat!".

<DIV>You have to try Divine Recovery..it's an AA ability..it reduces casting times/recast timers on all spells for the entire group for 24% by about 1/2.  It's amazing..it helps me out so many times during raids and grp isntances.</DIV>

<DIV>For when it REALLY goes south, you can always FD.  There's 2-part quest at the village in the loping plains that gives you a Feign death item.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have to admit, I'm getting alot more use out of it than I thought.  We were taking valdoon the other night; had a bad pull and got like 6 werewolves, so I FD'd and then revived everyone after the three seconds it took those mobs to wipe the party.  It's also great for raiding.  When we were trying out raid zones the other day I was only on my first repair kit when some people were on their 2nd or 3rd.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Obviously, FD should be a last resort, but it has now found a permenant place on my hotbar.</DIV>
