We had a group of 12-13 people trying to do a rend/general run for blood. we were doing fine, until terroc pressed Tab to use the targeting system, and shot his wand at whatever it targeted......... Which turned out to be one of the spectator mobs that come up and watch from where everyone jumps down.
His wand hit him and they started running and willow immediately hearthed. We wiped, obviously, when 1/2 the instance was pulled. We tried to then just go around rend by skipping him in the hallway. We then learned that a gate closes and locks when you start rend and don't finish him, so basically it was a waste of 2 hours.
I did the same thing once. I was to lazy to use assist and I just tabbed hoping to lock onto Rend. Well, to say the least I targetted one of them Spectator Mobs and the whole instance came down to rape us.
I played it off cool though and blamed it on the Hunter. "WTF! Who didn't put away their damn PET?!?!"
Until about 6 people said they saw a Mage use Arcane Missiles flying upward. I was like alright no bigge, there are 4 Mages here.
Who would accuse poor ol' Soizik?
Then someoen said, "IT WAS A GNOME MAGE! I SAW IT!". I was out of excuses after that point. I was the only damn Gnome in the Raid!
