I was doing a SP HC skip run, and we needed to kill that last big pack before the final tunnel (then one with the Soothsayer, Enchantress and 2 Champions).
I was healing there for the first time, and made sure to stay very far away from the mobs since I think some of them do a melee interrupt with shield slam or whatever it’s properly called. In any case, the Champions don’t have it regardless. Out of nowhere, I’m hit with a 9 second Holy school lockout. I have no idea what mob did that, as my combat log was set to only record damage, and I logged off before I found out it can be set to show other stuff. Obviously, we all died.
I looked through the ability list of each trash mob that was involved. Nowhere does it say any of them can do a ranged interrupt. What happened? Feels like I’m missing some obvious healer knowledge, so obvious that no guide bothers to even mention it, and neither do WH comments for any of the trash mobs involved.
did you get mced?
i doubt you did cause i dont think even the longest player lock out is 9 seconds.
hmm i would say its one of the enchantress or soothsayer mobs.
next time bring invisibility potions 
.
No, I didn’t get MC’d, I could move around.
But your comment made me realize someone got MC’d, and I forgot who it was (did so many HCs that day that I stopped paying attention to the group), but surely it was a mage. Mystery solved.

ya but i think only mages with improved cs have an 8 second silence if i remember correctly.
i dont know . just odd.
No, 8 second school lockout is the default counterspell. (It follows the normal pattern; lockout is 1/3 the cooldown).
Improved CS only adds a blanket silence and doesn’t change the school lockout.
ahh. been a while since i thought of it lol.
mustve been that i guess.
Sounds like a Mind control interupt from a Mage. Some tanks don’t believe in CC even if its the easiest heroic. Either Kill or CC Soothslayers first.
or send the mage in first to kill the mage off and then proceed as normal with the kill .
jk lol.
