I fought a Pally - please tell me what happened?Follow

I was in Tanaris killing turtles trying to get Zesty Clam Meat. I was down about 1/4 health from the turtle, when a lvl 45 pally came by. He hit me with the hammer thing and hit me once. I then quickly changed gear to my axe and sheild. Now I had my Stoneskin Totem(takes points off damage taken) down already so I threw down a Magma totem(which continually blasts target with fire damage). I then hit him with Earth Shock.
Well after that he didn't really do anything. I thought for sure him being lvl 45 I was done. I maybe lost 1/4 of my health from the fight.

Did the Magma totem disrupt any casting he was able to do? By chance was the person just being nice and just gave me a free kill? I am having a hard time thinking the person was just being nice and let me kill them....lol

I was just puzzled by this whole event and kept watching my back waiting for the pally to return and take revenge. Sorry but I am just puzzled by this one.

Eartshock stops casting for a second or so, but they usually have to be casting something for it to work. I would go with the d/c reason if he just stood there. If the pally got the first jump, i'd say his chances of winning were better than yours.

His sig says 43, whether he has updated or not, so yea around 45 i guess.

edit: oops double post

No, they are different.

The Judgement would come from judging Seal of Command or Seal of Righteousness

ya id say he lagged out

Well, Hammer of Justice (not stun one, but the long range one) is set so you can only cast it when the enemy is at or BELOW 20% HP, so if you DID have 1/4 health left he shouldnt have been able to cast it....either that or you had 1/5 left.

Did you guys mean Hammer of Wrath instead of Hammer of Justice? The last few posts I think the two have become a little confused, so just to help clear things up, HoJ can be used anytime on a mob and is the 6 second stun while HoW is the "Finish Him" move that, in all honesty, is just plain sexy. Not to insult anyone's intelligence, but I know I got a little mixed up there and wanted to make sure I knew which spell we were talking about.

To the OP, if there was a giant hammer that fell out of the sky on top of you, it was a judged seal. If you were below 20% health and the pally stood there, charged up a glowing hammer thingy, and then hurled it at you (with the accompanying "shwoosh, shwoosh, shwoosh" audio as it sailed through the air), then it was the Hammer of Wrath. If the guy simply stopped fighting, then it was most likely lag/DC. There are very few players who go to gank and then think, "Ah shucks, let the guy get some free honor." But from the sounds of everything, your tactics were sound for fighting the guy and, DC or not, kudos to you for giving the guy a good fight.
