Way back in Episode 23 we talked to Turbine developers Zombie Columbus, JWBarry and Raskolnikov about skirmishes. A small part of that super long podcast we talk about area effect traps which we called “Standing in the Poop”.

You know the AOE fire patch, pool of slime, the wall of lava, etc,  that appears you’re too busy tanking/killing/healing/helping to notice you’re the one standing in it and dying. Everyone else is rolling their eyes telling you “OMG how could you not see the giant pool of fiery liquid on your feet!” or “The boss did warn us saying ‘Burn You Fools’ before it appeared. How did you miss that?”

Well thanks to an email from frequent commentor Stormwaltz, you may be able to say that it’s not your fault! But first I’m going to make you run through the same test he sent to me.
