Got this buff after a wipe on LFR, it disappeared after we killed the boss.

Comment by Tontons

Wipes on boss fights give you this and it stacks if you wipe more :)

Comment by conscriptinator

This buff was added in patch 5.2.0 for raid finder.
if people wipe on raid finder they get 1 stack of Determination stacking up to 10.
so, if there is bad group what happens pretty often, you can still kill the boss by getting 50% of dmg + healing + hp.
this buff disappears immediately after killing the boss. if raid wipes 3 times and has for example 3 stacks, everyone who joins that group before they kill boss gets also 3 stacks...

the buff is also covered by some "anti-hack" scripts, that prevent people from getting stacks without "really" wiping.
it is made not to give buff when there are not enough people, or when the fight is too short (like hunter - fake death evade or rogue with vanish...)

anyway, this buff should make it easier and less boring for players that are wiping in LFR with bad group and make them feel the raid is evolving somehow.
eventually, it's possible to wipe with 10 stacks of this buff only when you are trying to :)

Cannot be gained from a hunter pulling, then feigning death.
I'm guessing there are some conditions that must be met. Probably something like X players must be in combat and the fight must last for a certain duration.

Comment by boneshooter

this is the perfect buff for durumu encounter

Comment by WhiteLama

Lei Shen is the only boss so far I've seen more than 3 stacks on.

Comment by Hohen666

This buff was given upon boss being reset either by death or by kiting him out of the combat zone at any given point of the fight but it seems it's no longer the case. Now you have to fight for at least 3mins to get a stack. It was nerfed due to people intentionally reseting the boss to gain max stack to kill the boss faster. It's still a little stupid because if you have an encounter where you wipe before the 3mins timer (which happens a lot more often that you might think) it's just another wipe for naught.
Always the few exploiters making the general population suffer.

Might not be good for your health.

This buff actually gives you a speck of Saurfang's power.

Fail your way to victory!

Comment by Loadingpotato

There are ways to get the determination buff even if one shouldn't. In one case we engaged with 24 people in raid and after roughly two minutes someone joined, the boss despawned and we got it.

For reference, it was Kor'kron Dark Shaman event in Siege of Orgrimmar. Dunno if it has something to do with the fact you spawn outside the gates when you enter.

Comment by Estravolt

Does not grant a stack if a paladin bubblehearts out.
Currently wiping on Garrosh and bubling out when possible, raid not gaining stacks
