So You Wanna Raid...

[TheDragoon]

I still remember one instance in ZG where a sheep broke early and went straight for Itto, who faded causing it to munch right away on me. The more we heal (and overheal) the more secondary threat we build, this is why Blessing of Sanctuary is an absolute must whenever available - even in preference to wisdom smile.gif

This doesn't sound so much like some "secondary threat" so much as you were the only person that had ANY threat against the mob. If no one else has any threat against it, it will just keep coming after you. It's pretty easy for a priest to go far beyond the point where fade won't do anything if the mob got hit once by someone like the main tank (let's say it was the target of the pull or something) and the priest has been happily healing away the whole time.

On a slightly different topic, that's the sort of situation I'd seriously think about using Psychic Scream. Most of the time in Zul Gurub we pull things far away from other mobs so that the mobs cannot knockback/fear us into aggro range of something else. In that sort of case, Psychic Scream is a really nice skill to buy some time for the CC'ers to get the mob re-polymorphed.
