Shattered Halls



Hello,

encountered a few strange things yesterday, maybe someone can exlain that.

Yesterday we did a trip to Shattered Halls (normal, not heroic). Me with
my rogue, a druid as tank, hunter and two paladins (who were healing).
Up to Nethekurse it was a piece of cake, we passed the Gauntlet of Flame
easily and then we ran into problems.

Don't know exactly what happened, but we wiped multiple times on the
small groups that contain the Shattered Hall Gladiators at the sides.
The druid went in and was dead in less than 8 seconds. Think we had
about 6 wipes here and I can't really say what went wrong. We did those
groups the day before with the same group without any problems,
yesterday it was a nightmare. We finally managed when the hunter tanked
one mob and I was stunning the big guy in the middle as often as
possible, but it was close every time. Is this there mortal strike
ability or were our healers just sleeping?

After that we killed O'mrogg (again pretty easy fight) and finally
encountered Kargath Bladefist. We couldn't beat him. Our gear is not
that good, mainly greens and a few blue items, very few epic stuff. Both
Palas were specced for healing (one of them was still level 67), so they
were only healing, not doing damage. The tank went in and the rest of
our group kept standing on the stairs. I took care of the adds (with the
help of the hunter's cat), which worked pretty well. The hunter was
doing damage on the boss, but our healers ran out of mana before we got
him down. Think we had him at 35%, which is not really good. Is there a
better strategy to kill him or do we need to gear up first and come back
later?

What I also noticed during this run is that my vanish wasn't working at
all. With the tank and the healers dead I like to vanish to save some
repair bills, but that didnt work. Usually (if I'm getting hit on) I
first sprint a few meters to avoid getting hit while vanishing. So I
made sure I'm clear and have no dots on me, then I vanish. I vanished,
even got the "leaving combat" message and made sure to stay clear and
out of range of the mobs. The hunter was now the target but he did feign
death (which worked). Now to my surprise all mobs turned and charged me
(still in stealth, standing quite a distance away). There were no mobs
that could detect stealth, I checked that. I had no DoTs and no HoTs on
me and I was in stealth the whole time after vanish. Yet they came after
me and killed me. Is vanished bugged or is this just in Shattered Halls
where it's not working. Haven't used vanish for a while, so I'm not sure
about this. This happened 4 times, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't an
accident.
