Main Entry: trick·le-down death
Function: Noun
: A death that happens slowly, with an intermittent stream of damage that adds up to more damage taken over a period of time than healing received in the same period. Requires a longer time frame to finally kill the tank (more than a few seconds). Trickle-down deaths can be ameliorated with increased mitigation (armor mostly), and avoidance. Common in Icecrown Citadel.
Antonym: The Ulduar Splat
Funny I died from that last night in VoA. I got literally 0 heals and the other tank did not taunt until I went splat. With all that and cycling cooldowns I lasted quite a bit and got to 15 debuffs, before AD could save me no more.
.-= Tijeras’s last blog ..Protadin: @anafielle I let him thank the capt guy who has the annoying stun all the time ;) =-.
Main Entry: Ulduar splat [uhl-d??-ahr splat]
Function: noun
: When your tank gets “insta-gibbed” by the ridiculously spiky damage contained within the Titan complex known as Ulduar. Such an occasion is usually met with frazzled sighs from both tanks and healers alike.
Haha, great definition man!
Oh poo, it wouldn’t let me use those awesome dictionary-esque o’s.
Trickle down Ulduar death: I can shield block plasma blast right?
