Raid Healing Tip: Using Fade

Pulling aggro while healing is a common mistake and is the result of overhealing the tank. If you find yourself pulling aggro, have a paladin bubble you and then cast Fade to reduce threat while the tank regains aggro. I have also used Fade to reduce my chances of pulling aggro if I cast a G. Heal after someone else healed the tank (this is a common mistake especially while lagging).

If you find yourself getting the attention of a trash mob, use Psychic Scream and then cast Fade. This will give you time to run away or let someone else gain aggro. In many situations, this will also pull the mob (and some bosses) to the area where you "Screamed and Faded", allowing the rest of your group to pass a mob that they can't quite take down.

Another great use for Fade is to get past those tricky mobs. I have bypassed a raid boss (The Prophet in AQ) by using Fade then drinking a Lesser Invisibility Potion. I was able to run past him (I think I even touched one of his legs) without aggroing him. The rogue who was with me was able to stealth past with ease. *NOTE: I did this as a fully geared level 70 priest, and have not tried this at a lower level.
