I had a thought, and though I haven't decided if it makes sense yet I figured I'd throw it out and see if it makes sense to anyone else.

The other night at Hakkar's demise I made a comment that I'd run into the poison and await the life drain he does but the life drain wouldn't always hit me.  I could run around, shake my wand etc but my poison didn't do anything to help during the life drain.  A few others advised they had the same problem.

I think I may have figured out what was causing the problem, though I haven't decided for sure yet.  After this happened a few times I tried ENSURING afterwards that I was actively attacking Hakkar (with my wand) before he did the life drain.  This forced me to run to the poison asap, run back asap and make sure I had enough time to start wanding Hakkar before his life drain started.  After I started doing this I was hit with Hakkar's life drain each and every time.

Additionally, I asked after one fight about how to get rid of the poison after each life drain and was told the poison is supposed to go away after each drain.  I noticed after I started ensuring I could do the &quot;run back and wand&quot; method the poison went away after each life drain.  I think when the poison was staying on me it was when Hakkar's life drain didn't work on me.

Anyway, some thoughts to maybe keep in mind for next time.  Also, I'd love to hear anyone's comments on my thoughts, be them &quot;ZOMG he's nuts&quot; or &quot;Kraygien is AMAZING!&quot;  Either way, share your brain!
