(this comment applies to normal mode) that pro tip on third boss is great! gonna try that soon. lol. the third boss is a fun boss encounter. pallies can fear demons now -- specially that hunter demon that likes to multi-shot. i'm too scared to do heroic mode. specially since we're still wiping on kael at normal lol.

Adrina said on the UI forums that she put some throttles in so there shouldn't be any more d/c'ing. We also figured out with the chats that for some reason certain things won't stay put unless you have them open in the chat and combat log (for sure money drops/loot are like this). I expect the hotfixes rolling out today will help some of the combat log and battleground problems.

I took off my addons one by one and it was when serenity was removed that everything went back to normal ;) I can confirm it’s serenity that causes those black and yellow bars.

They have no aggro table and try to behave as players in an Arena game would. They CC,Heal, go after the healer..etc..Treat it like that and you will do well Plus you also get different combos The only consistent thing is the Priestess. Ususally you will burn her fast and then go on to the Shaman or Warrior next. They also wear Season 1 gear if you look at them Yes they are untankable.

Well, paladins don't *have* to run in and AOE tank everything. If that's their sole tanking strategy, you're playing with horrible tankadins. =S They should be able to range/LOS pull and deal with CC just like a warrior or a druid can. /shrug IDK, just because a paladin is so good at AOE tanking, doesn't mean that's always the best strategy for them to use based on the instance or the pull.

I turned that off for now until I can find some documentation and read up on how to turn off those frames. Honorshammer: A majority of the mobs are ranged which makes it rather difficult to simply run in and just aoe tank everything like most of the other instances. But that's just my initial impression of it. As I run it more, I'll get a better idea of it. Ilwil: Yup, you’re right. Turns out Serenity was the culprit.
