    Healers...I have no idea why healers wouldn't care for it

    It's HoR, the dps should be focus firing one mob at a time and the rest should be locked down if possible. Fear is a good CC.

    Fear is really a bad cc because I have seen them run all the way into other rooms just to pull others or my fav was the ones that would find the holes in the floor or wall and fall out of the dungeon and yet somehow live putting you into eternal combat

    Fear works well in HoR since there's no "extra" aggro-able mobs, but I swear I never see anyone use any kind of CC in there. I suppose it's also no surprise that I can't even remember the last time I successfully completed HoR.

    Let me amend my statement. Fear is a potent CC. Because of the set-up in HoR it is effective and worthwhile there. It is not necessarily so in many other instances though.

    It's certainly possible to do H HoR without using CC, but I'm pretty sure that instance was designed for CC to be used. Bliz is trying to get us back in the habit of using CC. That's no secret.

    Also I am so fucking tired of trying to get a shield on my Paladin. I'm stuck with the Bulwark of the Noble Protector, and in seven runs I haven't even seen the Royal Crest of Lordaeron drop. I can't even get a queue for normal HoR to pop either. Unless I can get into ToC10 and get the shield off of Anub'arak (HAHAHA) or do ICC10 and get the shield from the gunship battle (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA), I'm probably going to be stuck with that 25-badge ilvl 200 tanking shield from Dalaran.

    They should change Fear so that it just makes you tremble in place. That way it'd be viable CC in instances and you wouldn't get the occasional "feared and ran out of the world".

    Fuck that, fear is the bestest of the CCs. Not only does it CC that one mob who's being a dick, but it also brings more mobs, which is fun.

I was laughing so hard in vent and asked if everyone saw me surf to my death. One of the druids battle-rezzed me immediately and we continued on to a steamroll victory.

    You're making me reminisce about my mage, and how sadly hilarious Saphiron was when I iceblocked. So many people died thinking I was save cover.

    Sometimes, I miss my mage. But then I see that there's never opening in dungeons or raids for DPS.

    Sunday in TOC10 I was hit by a bug that had me never leaving the running animation, unless I didn't turn my char at all, in which case I did a weird in place shuffle (My Tauren looked like he needed to go to the bathroom).

    It lasted for the entire instance too, it was pretty awesome.

    Which is funny because the paladins shield bash animation reminds me of the care bear stare, a big shield popping out of the chest.

    Some people from my guild were 10 man or so the 25 man immortal achievement when the mage gets MC'ed and casts polymorph on the tank, who reflects it and sheeps the mage, who then gets a void under him. Funny stuffs.

    My best was one I think you will appreciate. Back in BC, a group was attacking thunder bluff. Something killed me, but as it did so I happened to fall off of a ledge and pop Holyform, so it looked as though the spirit of redemption was flying off of TB.

    My best death was in ICC kind of recently. Our MT has a habit of DI'ing people to save repair bills, and I was the only one in range. On Arthas, we screwed up somehow on a transition phase, and I get hit with DI where the ground collapses. Someone in vent asks what happens when I get removed from the group with DI up in such a situation, which is followed by laughter in vent and me cursing in raid chat (no microphone).

    Another good one was getting a shaman to hit me with thunderstorm in a duel off of Thorim's mountain; I popped a parachute cloak and made it almost all the way to Ulduar. We had a priest try it and he made it to Utgarde Keep, best I could do in that direction was Zul'drak.

    I used to roll with a good Warlock in TBC that would CC by using fear, then using curse of recklessness to break his fear, then reapply fear to yo yo the mob close enough that it wouldn't agro the next pack, but was still locked down. Too bad they nerfed the ability to do it. Of course, I only ever played with two Warlocks who ever even did it in all my time playing WoW. The rest were too busy alt tabbed jerking it with a rubber band wrapped around whatever key was mapped to shadow bolt.

    They're Undead, so likely immune to Fear and definitely immune to Sheep.

    It's kinda funny. Whenever HoR comes up, there is inevitably an argument about CC/the nook/etc, but no one points out how retardedly difficult it actually IS to CC an Undead mob. There's only like 2 classes that can reliably stop them (not just "hold them in place" because that does fuck-all for casters).

    It also devolves into "No I don't use the nook because I'm a GOOD player"/"No, I use the nook because I'm a GOOD tank.".

    Whenever I heal heroic HoR on my Priest I never actuallly stand in the nook; I stand out in the middle and Fade if one of the mobs aggros me, and it sends them after the tank every time. I then proceed to shackle Riflemen. I never take damage, the Riflemen never pose a threat (I sometimes get the Mercenaries if I get a shot), and the tank still has all the aggro.

    I have about a 45-50% success rate at not pissing off tanks with this method.

    When I heal HoR on my priest, I do sit in a nook to keep the tank at ease, but as soon as guys start running I a) step out, away from AOEs, and b) target the farthest one back and shackle him. Even a little bit like that helps.

    While the nook strategy helps for randoms, when I can't be sure people will even try to CC, I really want to run it without the nook with a competent group and see how smoothly it goes.
