Worst BH experience you've had?

Alphae - Lost City

My worst:

3vit pure wizard, lowest level in the squad, bh51. Barb is routinely taking mobs in human form and regular attacking. I draw aggro and and forced to kite (slowwwww wizards) and distance shrink around constantly. This is without blessing and a def buff (attendance) on, making sure to use element attacks same element as mob for reduced damage.

Me: maybe go in tiger form and use flesh ream a bit? I do quite a bit of damage. <example crit>
Barb: *cricket sounds*

---

Later, on rankar, after I draw aggro and die, and am rezzed, the barb goes in human form and promptly dies. Aggro bounces as we all try to let the cleric rez him. Barb does exactly the same thing. Squad wipes.
Me: maybe go in tiger form? you have a lot more def and HP. You may also want to use flesh ream.
Barb: *cricket sounds*

This is 1.5 hours into the bh.

Me: hello? genius? that skill you get at like level 9? USE IT. Tiger form. The picture of the dude with the orange. click on it now. Do not click on it again. when fighting mobs, click on the picture of the tiger mouth constantly. do not click anything else.
Barb: I don't like tiger. I do less damage.

Worst BH experience? Umm...I remember I was with failed squads a few times for Bh51
On my Psy; I had to do less powerful skill to steal aggro from any DD or Barb

One Cleric, one Sin, one Barb and one BM include me(Psy) in squad

At the Wyvern, it wiped us out quickly cause I stole aggro from Barb and Barb didn't use Fleash Ream on Wyvern so much. After that we waited for cleric to rezz us and like 2hrs.....Because the mobs respawned at the beginning killed cleric once.

Me: Have you seen any Psy stole aggro from you before? During BH29 or Bh39?
Barb: No

I was like "Wow... WTF was wrong with him?"

Me: You have to spam Fleash Ream! <_<
Barb: OK *shrugs*

Not the worst experience but: me on barb in BH Metal with 3 wizes & 1 psy as DDs in squad b:surrender The boss wasn't pretty.

I only joined cause they said they were already at boss & their barb couldn't take it & ragequit... I wonder why...

I don't know why bh59 is often so messy. Imo psys/ wiz should always tank and barbs should just follow like a nice kitty should >_> I've had situations where rest of the squad wipes because of the barb and I'm just taking my time resing everyone while the boss tickles me with silly magic atks.

You do realize that a skilled barb can cancel every single magic attack from bosses in that entire BH right? That only leaves...physical attacks? Oh I remember now, don't barbs specialize in that department?

As for worst BH ever, it is always the clerics fault. Stupid BM? I let 'em die. Stupid squishy? Let 'em die. Stupid cleric? I'll kill 'em myself lol Anyways, out of the goodness of my heart I ended up tanking alllllllll of BH59 for this one clerics FB. She begged and begged and begged for me to help her. Well, what turned this into a rage inducing moment, was that she.refused.to heal.me.... I could have choked her out I was so mad.

cleric:Oh wow, your HP goes up really fast.
me: its because im charmed, please heal
<clerics continues to DD>
cleric: holy ****, you are an amazing barb!
<cleric continues to DD>
me: for the love of god, im charmed, please f----ng heal me!!
cleric: your HP comes back too fast for me to heal
<cleric continues to DD, i sit contemplating homicide>

There is something really odd about your post.

I agree with your first part, but I have not met a wizzie or cleric below lvl 80 (hell, prolly below 90) that would agree to tank in bh59. When I was in my 80s (barb), i asked the wizzies in squad (when helping clannies) if they gonna tank. Answer was along the: 'are you kidding?' lines. Obviously they COULD tank, but not at their lvl... Hmmmm...

Why would a barb die? He was dumb or you didn't do your job????

69 wined is easy as cake? See... either you're trolling or you've only done wined pyro....b:surrender please answer which one of it is? cause you'd have to be the only one to think that bh 69 is easy...

Most people don't know that 59 is easier to do with magic tank than a barb. I could solo the whole instance at 70 on cleric and its really easy to do with a psy or a wiz. Drake and glut are absolute joke because they only do burn in range while they hit for avg melee damage.
Problem is people aren't used to this and still want a barb to tank and run after the triocs that climb on walls...

As for 69 I could ask are YOU serious? Pyro is probably soloable for some classes, Gaub doesn't really do anything bad, Pole for cleric is heal tank, heal yourself, heal occasional party member after aoe who doesn't know how to use pots, and PURIFY.
UN-wined is a different story and I've still got a lot to learn on how to do it quick and efficient without deaths.

As for Cortimis, I didn't say the barbs can't tank, its that 90% don't seem to know what the hell they are doing there and I've yet to see a barb in 59 that knows how to interrupt the bosses cast. Besides, its only zimo and ofo that actually cast anything possibly dangerous. And this is only about 59, I don't mind (relatively)incompetent barbs in other dungeons as long as they serve as a meat shield.

Oscars_SOUL - Lost City

that might we cos barb in general is dead in term of end game class and that is why less and less ppl roll a barb.
my barb is _Ghoul_ and i agree i am fail cos barb hp dosent mean much nowdays wish mean vit barb on low lv is fine but end game ull see barb going fist and rerolling ather classes not to mention there is always fail ppl playing and making fail classes but seriusly
when u get a barb 2 join ur party after hours of waiting spamming looking for a barb and getting one do u think for a sec is this barb a fail one or is he one of the few pro ones.
no i belive u happy u just got a barb 2 try 2 run the bh.

all i am saying the low lv quantity of barbs make barb in general seem fail 2 the eye but really u should we happy u have a barb at all i for one think u should we happy ur in the presence of a still active barb in the server and cant still make the bhs of ur ALTs
we few barbs in server are **** with the sht fleash ream wish dosent work at all and wish make barb go dex for at least better dd potentional wish ofc wasent the idea 2 beging with as a TANK class but there u have it

if u dont like barb dont look us up or better yet start a new class from scratch and never ever ask for barb and see how long u get and ofc i am saying dont get high lv ppl 2 do it for u ofc.

the thing is, in bh59 bosses will use weak magic attacks and not physical if tanked from far (aka with a wizzie/psy/archer). so the highest DD can tank it and the rest can go pew pew without worrying about aggro and finishing the job in less time.

I'll agree with you there, Cort, that barbs are SUPPOSED to know how to cancel magic attacks. Though most around that level range simply don't know how, or never bothered to level alacrity, so they can only get every other cast or so.

You're one of the good barbs. Now get your butt to 90! b:angry

Today on my Psy, BH51 this one bm with level 30 armor still was running around aggroing everything crying to be saved every time and got everyone killed a few times. After I took over lead, booted him and invited Squishy everything went more than smoothly.

While I'd agree that Drake/Glutt are a joke for a range tank, Zimo has some ridiculous spike damage. While a level 70 Pure Mag caster could tank her (HP would be flipping back/forth or possibly charm destruction) at level 6x IDK if a Pure mag caster can tank. I've seen a level 72 psy get 3/4ths of his HP whacked by on of Zimo's 'spikes' (almost seems as if she has a crit chance b:shocked). So for a 6x Zimo BH A Barb would probably be the safest choice most of the time just because he has the HP pool to take a hit.

well, 59 is the bh for 7x, no?
eventually it boils down to the build/gears ofc

by all means, let the kitty tank to be safe; dont let it cause "rawr, i'm the virile man of the group, stand back sishy fishies" if the fish can safely tank it

Worst bh or bh's for me is when my squad didnt protect the cleric so we kept dieing over and over and over. finally you just give up

This little 6x sin has tanked Zimo, with only 3k hp. o.o

Anywho, the worst BH I've been on has to be...just about any other than my barbs BH100s. Lowbies don't like listening to how a boss performs even from someone who's actually played for a long time. Also, clerics need to learn to use BB more often when **** goes south fast. Too many party wipes from clerics trying to just IH everyone and getting splat themselves.

BH69. Just about to lure pole and no barb so I'm tanking (about lv86). Cleric says "I'll bb this one to be safe".....

Immediately I launch into a long explanation about bb being canceled and Polearms debuff shredding through a regular bm regardless. No response from the squad, but I hoped it had sunk in. Obviously not. Veno runs off to lure and cleric sets up BB. Immediately I teleport.

Cleric then starts wtf'ing in whispers and hurling abusive language before I BL'd him. Have to pity whoever they brought in to replace me. What baffles me too is not a single person in that squad said anything to the cleric or seemed to notice anything unusual... O.o

LOL ....

Bet they know now not to use BB then.. or.. heck.. they probably blamed it all on ... you

Escorian - Dreamweaver

this isnt a bh but a fc story when fc was first switched to exp instead of gear.

We had a barb a cleric a wiz an archer a veno and me (fist bm).

this is how the run went cleric kills more then heals even on bosses barb is moron and on the super mighty whirling slash boss stays right next to him cause he was tabbed out cleric rez's he goes and attacks the boss the boss does his attack again the barb stands there dies and then logs out of vent and game (the next day he says "sorry i face planted" (amazingly he logged outta vent and game the same time he face planted) after that i tank the cleric continues to dd instead of heal. we kick the cleric and find a new cleric but that was before i lost a full plat charm Q_Q. oh and the barb of course couldnt hold agro.


now as for a bh

The squad is a pole bm, (fist bm me), wiz, cleric, cleric, veno


here is how it goes at Snakefist

we do the boss as we should the one cleric in bb the other one ihing tank after 3 normal attacks the veno dies comes back and continues to die. the tank who had more interval then me at the time died after awhile and decides to change how the clerics heal and says "Just IH me and dont bb" i explain that if they only ih him without bb he will just die faster because bb cuts damage down but he refuses to listen. we spend about 3 hours in that instance when the bm and his wife (one of the clerics) leave. we then get a barb and another i forget what i think archer and finish the run while the veno just sits back and does nothing -.-;

Appley - Lost City

I remember when I was level 63 and got Zimo as first boss in BH. We had; 63 cleric, 63 & 68 archer, 67 bm, 70 sin and me. We get to zimo with a bit of trouble. Mostly suicidals pulling all mobs. When there we decide for the sin to tank. So we let her start out to get aggro settled before we joined in. Everything goes smooth til zimo has about 30% hp left. Then the bm takes aggro and gets killed off in few sec. After that the archers and sin follow close. Leaving me and the cleric only ones alive. So I jump white voodoo, tank zimo, poping pots/bubble of life and watching my charm getting ***** while cleric trying to ress them. Only for them to wake up and retake aggro with their 10% hp and die right away. The cleric trying to get them to wait while she ress everyone and trying to heal me in the same time. They all getting ressed, I'm still tanking zimo who is almost dead by now. Cleric trying to heal everyone, Zimo takes one big spike at me and I go down. 2seconds later they kill zimo right infront of me. They said I should look for another bh party to do zimo. I was about to do that but the cleric then said they'd redo it for me or they could find a new cleric for the rest of their bh. So they agreed to redo it for me, with statements such as "Why would 5 persons have to suffer because of 1?" While the cleric rebutts that it would had been squad wipe without me. So we get to Zimo, they all start dying off again. This time telling me to stop stealing aggro. I told them the only reason I got aggro was cause all of them died. Leaving only me to take aggro from the boss beside the cleric. b:cold I tanked it all the way down to it's death. Scared out of my mind that I would die 2 sec before the boss again. x)

peacefulsilence

Ouch, pretty bad story, but yeah I see barbs play white knight for no reason and **** the party. Had a 90 something trail a bunch while I was a cleric without asking if I was ready and wiped the whole party but me cause I was still semi afk at entrence and hadn't buffed anyone yet. byt the time I realized what the **** he was donig I didn't bother chasing after them I knew they'd be dead before I got to them.

But absolutely not my worst, but still a BH51 So here I am with a bunch of **** randoms.. a bm... veno... and some DDs... ANYWAYS. So we are at Fushma and the BM just runs in without warning at Fushma and chases him around like a noob. I tell him to pull back but he doesn't listen. One of the DD's pulls agro and like instantly dies one shot from Fushma so here I am stuck rezing him and moving fairly close to the pillar (Why some were on the farside I dunno why). Next thing I know the patrol is on us, the other dd's do their job and handle it, but the veno freaks out and runs right into the two nearby terrawraiths. Before it even clicks in my mind what the **** just happened I'm suddenly the one being ganked and die(This was before I used hp charms). Chaos ensues and naturally everyone else dies without a cleric.

OH this is not the end of the tail, on no. So I res, come back, clear the mobs to start rezzing. Now for some strange reason that my mind still can not wrap itself around, after rezing the bm I pause because Fushma had come back and the DD's were too near. But for some reason, the BM, with 10% hp and ZERO BUFFS (not even his own) charges at Fushma who was at a very safe distance for the already rezed people. Naturally I started running in the opposite direction because his armor was so **** even with buffs he was hard to heal with my +6 tt60 and I wasn't about to get wiped again. He dies alone (Fortunately no one else was dumb enough to follow him either). I get blamed by him it was my fault he died again, being party leader he then kicks me.

Frankly I didn't care. I would have left on my own. I got a new party as soon as I got back to Arch and we kicked some ***.

LifeHunting - Lost City

Maaaaaaannn. **** load of bad BH's for people.

Guess I was lucky.....Any BH I did didn't suck balls.
Hell I even got so bored at one point I just began to solo the dang BH's . BH59 was super easy. I always had drake chain so barely anything to worry about. BH51 puhleeze! Fushma = wimp. Rankar = AoE loser. Wyvern? Bleh, killed that thing in under 2 mins.

then again I was always tanking and i told the barb to sit the **** back if he was gonna try to do anything in kitty form, or just stay in human form and act as a DD. (Still tank with my BM even now that he is in FF. 6.1k hp unbuffed with fists, 6.4k unbuffed with axes. He is able to pull almost all the way to shade for second boss. Just need a little bit more chi for when speed skills wear off >.>.)



Anyhow, as for a bad experience......

I guess my worse would have to be BH39.....I will never go near or anywhere inside that place. EVER AGAIN. I even plan to skip over on my Wizzy or just go "hey...Anybody wanna kill some bosses for me <.<?" in my fac chat. Cause no way in hell am I squading with randoms for that ***** of a place.

Sarrafeline - Sanctuary

I don't think there is enough space on the entire internet to store all of my stories about failed BH squads.

A few highlights: Doing BH59 with no Barb. 79 wiz refused to tank, so at 72, I tanked the bosses on my Veno. The wiz took aggro on Drake and died through BB. Pure mage build. First, why the hell would a cleric BB on Drake, second why wouldn't a Wiz have Pyro shield up on a FIRE boss, and third, if you are a high damage DD, why are you going to be shocked and surprised that you take aggro?

Being refused entry into BH59 squads as a veno because "We need a Barb! You can't tank it!" Excuse me, I've soloed BH59 with wine/food.

I ran BH51 with a Sin so bad, he caused 5 party wipes by Fushma. He ran forward with the veno's pet when she was trying to pull and aggroed all of the mobs, then ran back with them to the party. After the 5th party wipe, which the cleric survived, I asked her not to rez the Sin. She simply said 'f this' and left squad, then I left too.

I was doing BH39 and the BM and Sin in the squad were arguing constantly. The BM was being an *** to the Sin, and tried causing a party wipe. i whispered everyone in squad, told them to wait before calcid, and booted both of them, found replacements, and we finished the BH without incident.

I have many more. I could go on for hours.

Tojop - Dreamweaver

Idk about worst ever, but I just did a quick Seat run before maint.....had to tell the barb that he has to attack both mobs if he wants a heal. He died. I haven't had to do that in a very long time.

Yeah, wth is up with that? Cleric != tank

Healing pulls aggro if barb doesn't AOE. Is it REALLY that hard to figure out? Sometimes having an AOE happy BM in squad really helps. Tell the barb to go human form and have the BM tank the damn instance.

Yep, I was in both them squads (being that we're joined to the hip at times). That snakey poo BH was the worst BH to date.

I have a couple of low level BH disasters.

I was on my sin, there was another sin, a cleric and BM that was duel boxing/clienting (leaning towards the clienting part since...well...), an archer, and a level 9x wiz that was helping. The BM/cleric insisted on tanking/healing on the bosses, and got pissed when the 9x wizzie came to help. "I can do it, no problem", was his words. Okay, so we get to Drake. We start attacking. Wizzie had aggro for a bit, then BM just DD'd/HF'd and stuff. Well, I, as a level 7x sin, took aggro from the wizzie (to this very day, we're trying to figure out how). Well, remember, the BM and cleric are the same person, and he didn't switch heals at all. So I died, and while the squad (and me) are trying to tell him to res me, he kept on DDing on the boss, boss dies, I don't get the kill.

I leave squad.

We ended up doing the run again (not with that dude again), and it went a helluva lot smoother, despite me having aggro a **** ton of the time over the 9x wizzie. I lived a little better too, because the cleric didn't have to tab out to check on another character. xD
