I have a few various gaming situations where, at the time, I felt empowered and amazing and that I had Done A Thing. And yet, when I seek to recall them, they're not but the faintest whispers of memory. It's annoying, really. However, there is one moment that still remains pretty clear - and it's actually from back when I raided in WoW.
Black Temple - Illidan fight. Apparently the Tank was Not Prepared, since he didn't block one of Illidan's big hits and went down. He starts roaming free, heading towards the healers and a wipe seems imminent. And then I got a crazy idea.
I went all out, pulling as much aggro as possible and making Illidan think that I was the next best thing to smash into paste after the tank. He stomps over, I hit Deterrence - making me unable to be hit for a few seconds. Meanwhile, I yell for the healers to get the tank back up and get him up. I watch in the distances as they do just that, as well as watching my Deterrence buff count down. Three... two... one... tank's up and fully buffed.
I feign. He taunts. We finish the fight. It was quite the moment of personal glory to pull a kill out of a wipe like that.
