I got a pretty good success story.

It was one of those dreaded post patch days where it seems like everything stops working. Addons break and wierd things happen. My guild had a Kara run for 8 that night but due to work I wasnt able to log on til about 7:50.

I log in an soon realize I cannot see any chat. No trade, no local, no guild. I can't even see my text. The only thing that pops up is the level 1 guy named tyrdkdaibaeq spamming gold in /s, and the whisper I get from the raid leader asking if I'm coming to Kara.

Since I don't want to hold the raid up I hop in vent and decide to go raiding as a deaf warlock! Durring the raid people are laughing about what is being written and I'm talking in /s in response to what I hear on vent because I can see the boxes over my head.

Since I cant see text I don't see any of the drops as they are listed to be rolled on. I cant even see what I roll!! So right before Attunmen the raid leader tells me to roll over vent. Says that Rittsyns Lost Pendant dropped, explains the stats to me too because at the point I was still a noob and didnt know what gear I needed.

So I type /roll (seeing nothing), and all I hear are a bunch of yells, cheers, and "wows" over vent. I /s what happened? The RL says I beat 2 other people by rolling a 100 (beating a 85). Then like magic the kneck piece is in my bag.

We continue on and down Attumen literally 5 min later. Again I'm told to roll, this time on Handwraps of Flowing Thought. I roll again and everyone laughs again. Over vent they are like "you rolled a 1". Then the RL says nope, I really rolled a 89 and won that as well!

Two epics in 5 min, with no text and no idea what I'm rolling to beat, or even what exactly I'm rolling on. To say the least, those two pieces will alway hold a soft spot in my heart. After the raid I fixed my chat (deleted the chat.exe file if I remember correctly), thanked everyone in guild chat, and stated that I would only raid deaf for now on!!
