    BH69 run with guild for Polearm. Party was a barb, cleric, archer, and 2 venos (one mine) both with hercs. I was too low level for Polearm but the group was grateful for the extra damage.

    I'm still not sure what happened but the barb died about halfway into the fight. Polearm eats hercs for lunch and the other veno's herc went down in short order.

    I'd like to say what happened next was deliberate, but it wasn't. I was foreseeing a party wipe, and hit Holy Path (back when it affected the group) to give everyone a running start to try to get away. I took off as well...

    And ran far enough that my herc warped to me. I was so rattled I didn't realize what had happened. I saw my herc was damaged so instinctively I healed it. That's when I noticed that Polearm was making a beeline for me. So I took off running while the herc (still in attack mode) went after Polearm. That seemed like a quick way to a dead herc, so I switched it to follow mode.

    About this time, another barb in the guild logged in and said he needed Polearm for Bh69. The group leader tossed him an invite. Meanwhile, I was still running. Polearm had almost caught up to me and I thought desperately for a way to delay him. I had one of those "duh" moments and switched my herc back to attack. Polearm stopped to fight my herc while I kept running. My herc warped to me, I tossed it a heal, and took off running again. I did this one more time, but Polearm was getting closer and next time I wouldn't have time to heal my herc, and it would die.

    The sense of impending doom had departed and I noticed (1) my genie had regenerated enough energy to use Holy Path again, (2) the cleric had ressed the barb and the group was trying to reach me (well, Polearm), and (3) the other barb had zoned into the instance.

    I hit Holy Path again, giving me enough distance to heal my herc again. This also took me into Noxtouch Culler's room. I started running laps around the edge of the room with my herc and Polearm in tow, using the attack/follow thing to buy me more time until Holy Path recycled again.

    I kept this up for a couple laps by which time the rest of the group reached me. The first barb took aggro back on Polearm, we started fighting as if nothing had happened, And about 10 seconds after the second barb got within minimap range, Polearm died giving everyone credit for their BH.

    Just like we planned it. b:pleased

    My only real story like that was when a group of like 9 of us were doing a WB. We had two clerics (one was a Harvester) one barb and random DD party and after about an hour and a half the boss was at like 20% (we had mostly 6x/7x in the party =\) but being that this was Shadow Doll, of course at some point someone would notice us on world quest. A couple CQ came down and wiped out the Harvester cleric (and a few others that were on their kos)... and when the cleric came back she was killed over and over. Being that she was red... after about 30 mins and 10 dolls gone, she just left our party, while the barb's charm is just ticking like crazy. We were desperately looking for a new cleric, and when the last 435k b:shocked was ticked off the barb's charm... we had another cleric on the way, and the boss was at about 5% hp, with no more charm on the barb and the second cleric a few mins off. He got like a ToP off, then a turtle... and another ToP and he had like 30 seconds where he had nothing that'd keep him alive and the cleric showed up with the barb @ about 25% hp. Needless to say, our fail attempt at the World Boss ended well with everyone in the party making ~1.3mil. Couldn't believe it was that damn hard to get a cleric to come help out... and I still feel bad for that barb losing so much charm :(

    Wow, lots of great stories on here. I have a few I could share. A friend asked me to help him with the Mausoleum Watchman, so he tossed me an invite. I find an old friend in the squad already, from my bh29 days, and so we start chatting. We break only to kill Chin, and then while everyone else leaves to go about their own business we were still hanging out, talking about stuff. I had my camera focused in, and was facing my friend, checking out her gear. So little visibility. All of a sudden, I see my friend drop dead in front of me, and then turn to see Chin bearing down on me at full speed. I got about 5 meters up and away before he took me out. lol we had a really good laugh about it later.

    Another time I was down by Kong, first time ever being down there. I am walking down the path between the rib like structures, when I see a few grey dots on the mini-map behind me. I thought, cool a few mobs to fight. I turned around and died. lol Didn't even get to see what it was until he was running past me. haha
    Good times. Best time ever though, fighting the Trioc Ruffians and Lords near Tusk Town. I had my cub out, send it in to attack one. It runs away, and of course my cub follows. It draws aggro from a few more, and then they come after me. I proceed to send my cub after each of the 4 I aggroed to get them off me. A few of those ran off, drawing aggro from some Auroxes, and some more Triocs. By the time my cub had taken aggro from the original 4, I had 12 mobs bearing down on me. b:shocked I was scared out of my mind, couldn't call out for help, and was spamming Relentless Courage, Windchase powders, pet heal, and tough. Took me about 10 minutes to get through all of them, but I was scared stiff. lol

    Awesome fun when they all died though just as someone finally arrived to help me out. b:victory

    When he gives the 007 line, his aggro gets reset. If someone besides the tank hits (or rarely, heals) before the tank can get aggro back, Dimentora switches to attacking that person.

    His AOE is a ranged physical attack, but the AOE is centered on the target. So if the person who pulled aggro is a squishy caster standing in the middle of all the other squishy casters, all of them get hit by the physical AOE, most likely 1-shotting all of them.

    Previously, he gave the 007 line at about 25% hp so it was easy to predict. All you had to do was tell everyone except the tank to stop attacking at about that point. The last few times I've helped kill him, he gave the 007 line anywhere from 70% to about 1% hp (literally 15 seconds before he died). Two of the times, another pet took aggro from my herc and died. Fortunately it was a pet that took aggro, not a caster.

    If you have the luxury of two clerics, I would recommend splitting the casters up into two groups who stand apart from each other. That way if one group does pull aggro at 007 and gets wiped, the other group's cleric can keep healing the tank.

    It's timed from a certian percent of his hp, I'm guessing on it being timed from when the da'vinci's pop.

    That reminded me of another almost heart attack moment.
    Some guildies needed Krimson. It started with one squad, but then some more joined just to watch and drop some DD. We needed to kill him twice. So while waiting I dropped idea to one wizzie (duel buddy!) that we could duel down there while waiting. He aggreed.

    First duel, second duel, third duel... some already say that he will show up soon... fourth duel... I strated to think that we really should stop and offered the last duel. Embraced for chi. And in the next moment Krimson respawned few steps away... he looked at us, turned and left, leaving me surprised in the hands of wizzie who started to chase Krimson to drop me on the boss.

    Low 7X random squad, no barb, my 2nd encounter with 1-2 Soul Banisher. Herc tanks, 2 venos heal, archer DDs, SB is in his last 10%, I'm slowly falling asleep holding down Pet Heal hotkey -- then Banisher spikes like crazy and kills cleric thru BB. By the time I realize what's going on, everyone's dead, except the veno. Several seconds later, Banisher drops, she's the last one standing.

    BH51; one of those two dustwraiths stands right under Myri. We all try to lock on that dustwraith, and archer accidentally shoots at Myri. Fortunately, it was a good squad: archer ran back into the corridor, casters dodged AoE, eldergoth's roar stopped Myri, someone catched dustwraith, and no one even died. Except the eldergoth.

    Once in BH69, we were waiting for the veno to pull the boss out of its room. We told her to pull Gaurnob first, because we weren't sure if we could handle Polearm with the levels we had, so we were pretty relaxed. Then the veno comes running out with polearm...b:shocked

    Not really a heart attack moment, but it surprised me when Watcher of the Chasm hit me (and a few other people) with his frontal AoE.. when I was behind him.

    Didn't even turn or nuthin'.

    My heart attack moment was back in my FB59. The Wood Boss... This was back before the days of genies, and while I was still packing a magmite as a tank. Normal strategy is to pull him up, by luring, and go for it from there, right? So, being the luring Veno, I grab him, and go. After the archer that was supposed to be grabbing aggro fails to grab it, and with him tight on my ****, one of our clerics decides to heal me. Which gave her aggro instantly. She died. Well, now the archer decides to attack, and proceeds to die as well, at which point, seeing the boss head right towards the other cleric, who had, in vain tried to heal the now dead Archer... I do the only thing that pops in my head. I nuke the hell out of it, until it comes after me. And proceed to run. As fast as I can manage. Past all the mobs we hadn't bothered with, since we had just avoided them. I dragged that stupid thing around the entire Wood section, which thankfully, has two paths to get to the boss, popping pots, as I was getting whacked over and over again, since the boss was outrunning me, screaming "RES EVERYONE!" Over and over and over again... Thankfully, the surviving cleric ressed everyone, got them all buffed, and together, we beat the ever loving **** out of the boss...
