Hello,

I’m looking for help to understand why two people from my 10man raid got their parse invalidated.  
In the damage done tab of both Horridon and Durumu we see a message saying that their rank “…have been invalidated because they received excessive external buffs.”

[https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/reports/kGx1NHVvdDA8PrhX?fight=6](https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/reports/kGx1NHVvdDA8PrhX?fight=6)

[https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/reports/kGx1NHVvdDA8PrhX?fight=29](https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/reports/kGx1NHVvdDA8PrhX?fight=29)

We didn’t do anything different from any other week and we couldn’t figure out why or what buffs caused this.
