Using Mind Soothe on multiple Targets

** DISCLAIMER THIS POST IS OUT OF DATE AND MAY CONTAIN NON CURRENT WOW MECHANICS ******

We were on a H Steam Vaults run for Yesterdays Daily, and we were close to the 2nd Boss.

Server Restart 15 minutes

‘What! – Ours was on the list for no restart….

We hurry to kill the 2nd boss – and some decide to log while in the instance and others ran to the stone in case they get hearthed.

Restart Happens – It seems that you get ported to the start of the instance if you log out while in it during a restart…

We walk back into the instance

and all the trash has come back

/Sigh

So we pull them all again, until we get to that tricky bit near the ramp for boss 1 – We really didn’t want to risk a wipe, we just wanted this nightmare of a run to end, so the Rogue sneaks past, the Druid tank sneaks past in stealth, the Gnome mage goes.. “Let me try”

SPLAT!

Me and the healing priest are standing where its safe thinking Mmmmmmm –

“Wait!” I say – “I have a trick up my sleeve that isn’t even toolbarred.

I bring out Mind Soothe”

MindSooth

Mind Soothe Reduced distance at which target will attack. Duration: 15 seconds

“Reduces aggro radius by 10 yards. Only affects Humanoid targets level 85 or lower. Beware that if the mob resists Mind Soothe you will aggro it and enter combat”

I then proceed to mind sooth the closest troublesome Naga, I see the little swirl above its head, and then for the heck of it try and Mind Sooth the Naga entourage – and I’m like Hang on.. I’ve Just MS’d 5 targets…

I didn’t know you could do that…

Me and the Healing Priest snuck past safely and rezzed the Mage.

*rubs hands in glee at the fun to be had.

However… If they have a tendency to resist and then agro it may not be a good idea to use it too often

Oh don’t worry, if you had tried it BEFORE the restart, when time was running out, it WOULD have resisted 😀

No, in all seriousness, mind soothe is a cool spell, but the resists can really destroy its usability…

Very sweet to see it worked out for you. The one time I thought to use mind soothe in an instance it resisted and I wiped the group. I’m naturally a little weary of it now 🙂

“Gnome mage goes.. “Let me try”

Looks like the Mage needs to take “Invisiblitly” out of his Spell Book and on to his spell bar 🙂

Mind soothe also comes in handy in Sunwell Plateau on the scouts that run away to call for help.
