    Yeah, until you reach Horridon and lose years of your life due to DDs nuking on random targets, Adds jumping down at points quite ajar, and a shitload of groundeffects. not that it´s hard, but you actually need to wake up.

    If you're talking pure unforgivingness I'd rate mechanics such as Tortos' breath higher than Ionisation.

    Greater invis when the debuff is about to wear off? voila, -90% damage taken and then you have an iceblock available.

    @the OP. err, lol!

    It's very amusing trying to carry an undergeared alt/friend through that encounter. Flawless victory for ionization.

    Posts like these that provide so much information, proof, etc while stating them as facts are so insightful. >_>

    Ontopic, if it's a fact where's the proof? Secondly Ionization is pretty easy, it's only hard if you have people who like tunnel or can't think half the time.

    Have him just pull and die?

    On Topic: It's one of those mechanics that just get ignored after a few weeks of heroics.

    For our first kills we actually set up dispels and people had to use cooldowns since they didn't have 450k hp buffed.
    Now everyone is at like 540k+ and there's plenty of room so everyone's just letting it expire.

    Yes, it is very unforgiving. You get it wrong, you die, which is the whole point. Getting it right.

    Need more mechanics like Ionization which make all players use their defensive cooldowns in a planned manner and not just as oh-shit buttons. =)

    OT though, It can be a minorly annoying mechanic at first glance, but a lot of classes have ways to self dispel, or avoid it which make it a lot more manageable:

    DKs: Anti-magic Shell *before* the debuff goes out
    Druids: (Boomkin) can symbiosis a rogue, and Cloak of Shadows before it goes out (or after as a self dispel, if "latency" is an issue) (works for every second one iirc)
    Hunters: Deterrence before it goes out
    Mages: IB before it goes out
    Monks: Self dispel with Diffuse Magic
    Pallys: Bubble before it goes out
    priests: while they can't avoid it or self dispel, it's worth noting that they can disperse for every one, and thereby takes next to no damage
    rogues: Cloak before it goes out
    Shaman: (enhance/ele) can self dispel with glyphed Shamanistic Rage


    That's off the top of my head, in our raid (given, only a 10m, so no real exp. in 25) we only ever need to dispel 3 or 4 people, depending on CD timers.

    I was more thinking about the: "Dispell me!" - Instakill because it hit for more than his max hp. I'm sure we could have done something about it, it was just very amusing to see. We had him use stamina flask afterwards xD

    Cloaking .4 seconds after you get the debuff.

    EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

    My guild only had about 5 total wipes to Ionization, the hard part was Lightning Storm

    Morchok's slug of death is harder then ionization...

    We just charged a spirit shell about 10 seconds before it went off, most people were 60%+ letting it tick off everyone at once.

    Jin'rokh took us more pulls than any other heroic boss atm. We are 6/13H, 25man. 73 wipes to first kill. Horridon was around 70, Tortos 30-ish, Megaera about 50, Ji-kun 60-ish and Iron Qon took 22 pulls only.
    Ionization was the reason for 90% of wipes.
