Shadowmists

Anyone else experience problems with TS (or other AoE blockers)? We had tough night with snake as TS didn't hold up. Some times group members still got hit. Other times the whole group, including druid got hit. I thought I saw some chat about others experiencing this problem as well, however nothing posted so wanted to double check.

thanks

Why would you T shield on the snake? But that aside, yes it's obviously broken. For some reason it will work sometimes and won't work other times. Had to find this out the hard way on Avatar of Health last night. Though it always blocked for me, it would pick and choose between the rest of my group.

My thought is this. T shield may have gotten changed to work like the other aoe blockers, or it's just bugged. If you've ever tried using blade dance or a signet of aoe prevention, you'll notice that if you attack when that aoe prevention is up, the blocker doesn't always work. T shield would seem to be working like this, instead of the way it use to work, which was 100% aoe avoidance for everyone in your vicinity no matter what.

But seeing as Soe messed up our mythical, it wouldn't suprise me if this is just another, oops bug that will be fixed 'eventually'.

See the official forums:

AE Avoids broken?

This, like the mythical problem have already been addressed by Aelalik. They've been fixed internally and are waiting for the next hotfix.

It was an error with the druid AE blocker requiring a buckler while bladedance and other AE blockers do not. It's not intended to work as it is currently doing.

And as far as using it on Thet, because it blocks the AE on incoming and it saves the bards from having to respec for bladedance. Mostly, it's just an added precaution for raid members who might not yet be able to eat the AE.
