Today I was main tanking Old Kingdom on heroic mode, and I definitely got critted. My defense is maxed at 400, and I have 3/3 in survivial of the fittest, but I got critted for 14k while AoE tanking.

I was under the impression druids no longer needed defense to be uncritable?

Unless there is a bug in the game, you did not get critted. Heroic bosses hit that hard with their special attacks. When I first started tanking heroics, Ingvar hit me with both his specials back to back, 12k+ each, non-crit.

It's why regular runs are boring, and heroics are challenging and fun.

It wasn't a boss, it was a pack of regular mobs. I got kicked out of the group over it.

lol, check the combat log. You weren't crit unless it was a glitch. And if the group kicked you, you were probably better off without them.

Or you were sitting? :bonk:

Other than that I agree 100% with Solar. You were better off without the noobs.

Second option... if you were too low level for the instance you could have been crushed.

I'm 80, and it happened again later with a different group.

could it have been spell damage? The I don't think the anti-crit portion of SotF affects spells?

Wait, mobs can't crit their spells....hmmmm

Don't know. Maybe save off your log next time and we can look at it.

I think i know the answer on your problem, i got hit for that

large amount there too, and i scrolled up my combat log

instantly to see what it is, so i discovered this

Its sick damage, so i suggest you kill/interrupt/cc that mob first,

or you can easily die from that.

Just incase anyone is still curious about this I'll also answer.

Old kingdom has a mob called a "spellfinger" this type of mob is a regular nerubian spider type mob common in the early pulls. His spell is a really long cast, like 6-8 seconds, but his spell hits reallly hard. I thought it was a flat 14k, but i guess it might be 50% health like Aja said. Giggle giggle, try to either be a little more of what you're killing, or read your combat log. Casters should aways be top priority either CC or burn em first.
