So I was in Hills of Shade and the pull went bad and I had two golems, got one locked down with VP and got the other rooted while it beat me down to half health. I backed up, clicked epic, and slowed one mob; root broke and it came to whack on me again. That's when the weird thing happened.
I got it rooted again and backed up, and it put a series of hits on me and knocked me unconscious. Somehow it did that as I was moving out of melee range, and so I was bleeding on the ground but far enough away that it couldn't reach me for the last blow that would have finished off this story.
The healing from the epic got me back to positive hp, I was back on my feet, and it hit me with its range attack and knocked me out again. Another epic tick, and I was back on my feet once more. I was immediately hit by the range attack from the other golem, the one held by VP a little ways away; that put me back on the ground again. Another tick of the epic and I was up, and clicked Ancestral Intervention. The heal landed for about 8200 hp, I was at half health, and I said, "Where's the damn crit heal on AI !?!?"
I was ready to make a go of it at that point, until root broke again, and it seemed like maybe discretion was the better part of valor. So I hit the FD ring: "This time I'm really dead, boys," I said, and apparently they believed me, because in a little while they wandered away.
At any rate, a crit on AI would have taken me from less than 100 hp to full health -- a little over 16k, with the buffs I had -- if there still were crits on AI ...
