I derped and almost died as a i193 scholar the other night! Was dpsing my silly little heart out, and when the spreading circles came, I ran to the center.. tried to sit in the tiny little open space, but, then it spread more and I got hit by 3 overlapping circles. I'm surprised the same of being left with ~100 hp didn't finish me off.

Everyone else was fine though. A wipe would've been silly.
