Mad Priests on Madmortem

Everybody who plays World of Warcraft sooner or later dies.
Especially if you do any kind of Battleground.
It sounds kinda weird to state it like that, but sadly this is very, very true

Usually you get your “Ghost” debuff, swear loudly, sometimes bite into things (You remember that little girl from “A Series of Unfortunate Events”? She played way to much PvP…) and get your ghost to wherever you want to get resurrected – in battlegrounds you usually just wait (for your statistical 15 seconds – and felt 12 minutes) and game on.

If for some reason – like being raidspecced – you got Spirit of Redemption specced – hey, lucky you! Up to 15 seconds (minus lag equals maybe 12 or so of effective use, minus maybe still being counterspelled…) of totally uninterrupted – and uninterruptable – healing.

Bliss.

Oh, of course, you just might get teleported to a graveyard the second your Spirit of Redemption procs….
Although that does not seem to be such big of a deal, it can lead to desastrous consequences:

If this happens (as of yet I had only have it happen to me in alterac valley btw) you will not be considered “dead” – whilst being a Spirit of Redemption (that cannot be hurt or killed…)

And you stay dead.

You might wait for the Spirit of Redemption Buff to wear off – but you will just die and become a dead, dead ghost….

You might wait for the resurrection timer multiple times (remember the statistical 15 seconds? Well, now its up to YOU! Wait however long you want!) but you will stay a very dead piece of ghost…

Ok, Problemsolving 101: Move to a different graveyard!

Problemsolving 102: Notice you cannot move and call a game master.

Problemsolving 103: Realise the game master may be able to resurrect you and teleport you to your starting cave – but he cannot restore your ability to act (“You are not in control of your actions!”, mkay?)… Bite the table and silently cry….

Oh, and in case your GM offers you to take you out of the battleground to end your problems: Don’t throw curses at him, he is only trying to help…

Yeah, one thing at the end: Even if you are alive, get the General’s Warcry and everything…

You cannot even use the fucking 40000 honor insignia to remove the fucking “You are not in control of your actions!” annoyance!

*Ehm* sorry for the swearing to our american friends which will probably have a cardiac arrest at the notion of someone saying the “F-Word” where children below 42 might read it…

Update: Since I had more fun in alterac valley, there are a few pictures in the thread I took today (see above) and an addition down here:

It was suggested my latency might be the issue, since nobody else seems to know of the problem – well, to refute that:

Update 2: Well, happened again – but this time I was fast enough for a screeny!

Also, I had a bit of fun with netmon 3.1 during the time – see the full result on the official forums (german), the short recap:
1 out of 156000 packets was a tcp retransmit…
signal-to-noise ratio seems good (8 db)
Sooo, line does not seem to be the problem!
