wow Player Disenchants Equipped Trinket Mid-Fyrakk Pull

[Starym 3,787]

 

Well, there's bad pulls and then there's VERY bad pulls. This one is probably the worst, at least for one player, as the horrors of clicking your spells (and, apparently, trinkets) come back to haunt this Warlock.

It's better to just dive right in as this is both tragic and, let's face it, incredibly hilarious.

Fyrakk can be an intense fight, especially in Heroic, with a lot of mechanics to deal with and a lot of stress - it can affect players in different ways.  Well, monkeyman4153 must have been really stressed, as the combination of actions taken resulted in the loss of a 476 8/8 Champion upgraded Nymue's Unraveling Spindle. Luckily there's always item restore and hopefully they got their item back already, but that Fyrakk pull was 1 trinket short!

Zero legitimate reason for this. Trinkets should always be on your hot bar if they have on-use abilities and there is NEVER a reason to open the character pane during a boss fight (let alone THE boss fight). This was 100% intentional for views.

TBH even if it was, it's a good video idea 😄

But, just from personal experience, there are waaay too many stories of weird stuff happening to people and players doing dumb stuff that I can't dismiss this off-hand.

Realistically speaking, that should never happen. Most players would probably put trinkets on hotbar or bind their trinkets into macros.
But then again, I am NOT admiting the number of times I end up pressing "Leave group" when I just want to press confirm on raid check or something else. 🤣

Except this guys probs a super casual player so it isn't too far of a stretch to see someone do this.

And stuff like this is why my disenchant is in the teeny tiny section and unkeyed bars.  HOW he'd start a disenchant cast, much less not interrupt himself on it (it's not instant, unless blizz has somehow hotfixed that)

I mean, yeah, I feel for him, but I also feel for whoever set this up to happen for the vid.  This is Leeroy Jenkins 2.0 for certain.

I won't doubt the skill of the player, but there is too much going on for this to happen unintentionally. Opening the character pane makes no sense during a fight as it serves no purpose. To DE anything, you have to click DE then choose the item to DE. Now, I once was a progression guy but have sense gone completely casual and I have never seen or heard of anyone being so oblivious that they "accidentally" DE'd something during a fight. It will happen outside of encounters where someone clicks the wrong item in a bag, but this was something dude had equipped. That is a blatantly intentional action, no doubt in my mind. It was staged for views and likes, nothing more.

While it's entirely possible and plausible it was faked, it is also plausible this could happen by accident. You would open your character window specifically to click the on-use effect of the trinket if you didn't put it on your bars or (more likely) accidentally removed it or it was a new trinket (although his is 8/8 upgraded so that's less likely). And if you're a clicker and disenchant is next/close to something you use, say a cooldown you use in conjunction with the trinket's on-use ability during a burn phase on a boss...

I'm all for a "benefit of the doubt" situation, but this doesn't look to be it. Check out this screenshot:

You can see in the character pane what the icons for both trinkets are and immediately to the right you see those same icons hot-barred to the play screen. Now, this next image shows the DE icon the player clicked, which was hot-keyed to "=":

N

Keep in mind, that icon is waaaay down on the bottom row action bar, far away from the icons this person had setup for their trinkets:

Bottom row, 7 icons from the right side, next to an icon with 5m displayed. That's a far cry from where the hot-barred icons actually are which, might I add, is well within view of the fight. As SpilledStars stated:

But very poorly executed.

that;s fine. you can just recover it. only costs you for whatever item you get from the disenchant.
