I was at 1k today helping to clear a 5 square vault witha light green D in it.  I hoped it was a Death Drake so I would not have too much trouble. I got near the entrance, and out jumps a Dracolich. I start fighting it, but it's not taking damage. I stand next to it hoping for a critical hit, not bothering to consider the possibility of its breathing nether. I figure that if it does, i'll be safe, my Avari resists nether. So I continue trying to hurt it. Suddenly it breathes nether. I am a 2. My hand instinctively reaches for my macros. It breathes again. I die. The end.
