Warsong Wood Boos uber aoe

Liveena - Heavens Tear

I guess everyone knows that wood boss in warsong sometimes practically wiped an entire squad with aoe damage more than 1million. b:sad

But this one is interesting as I experienced it from my seeker last night. Me and my squad we're killing wood boss when the boss did his uber 1-hit aoe wiping the squad, to my amazed, my seeker survived and left alone to tank the boss (which failed as she got crushed with no support).

I was using combo of sage blade affinity + sage ion spike + gemini when the boss wiped the squad and I noticed that the "resist" came up when the boss throw the aoe.

So I was thinking using sage blade affinity with the status resist buff somehow saved my seeker from that uber aoe.

Anyone else can confirm this?

That boss only throws that massive squad wiper after someone uses the genie skill Extreme poison on it. As long as that genie skill isn't used, he is fairly straight forward to deal with

Um, does it show a damage log? Sage BA casts Tidal buff during its duration. If the AOE is a massive 1-tick DoT like BH sot/abba bleeds then Tidal should be able to resist it.

It's a massive one-tick delayed earth DoT, I believe.

I was busy trying to comprehend the situation at that time, so I didn't checked the damage log. If Tidal could resist it, then is there any sin who can share their experience with Tidal buff with the wood boss party-wiped aoe?

For seeker getting the tidal buff with sage BA is like 50% chance, so its kinda lucky that I was able to resist that aoe b:shocked.

Never heard of that o.o I've been using EP regularly in my squads at that boss (and any other).

Maybe you didn`t kill all mobs? He does sick dmg otherwise.

Nah, it's a bug. I've seen it happen a couple of times and all the mobs were cleared.

I say keep it, it adds a bit of excitement to warsong runs.

Ultimate troll move by the wood boss randomly roflpwn'ing your entire squad.

Makes me lol everytime.

It's been "confirmed" as "not a bug" (which I think is PWI developer speak for "the original code is **** and I don't feel like investing the time/effort to fix it").

It is defnitely either a DoT attack. It won't show up in the damage log if you survive it with deaden nerves or a similar skill.

I was told it was a wiz glitch, it only happens when you have a wizzy in squad. It happened to me twice when i had this wizzy in squad, we were totally wiped. After that the wizzy decided to change to his archer instead and the glitch disappeared after.

Not sure if it is related to a genie skill that is only available to the wizzy.

Etheos - Raging Tide

Uh doesnt that boss have have squad wipe skill that if you take to long or something o.o
last I remember friends and I took too long and he starts cleaning house after he finish his last babble >.>
But yeah I kinda remember hearin hes kinda Djinn in tt3-x
You take too long me 1-shot your arses

Tetream - Lost City

And I heard it only appears on rainy days (@server location). And when at least two ppl in squad cross their fingers in rl at same time. You can avoid it when no one in squad picks any drop in instance. True story.

Are you sure you didnt just get wiped after the massive hp debuff? That happens to squads a lot.

Fissile - Archosaur

Anyone who has done a LOT of warsong knows this glitch. It happens maybe one run in 50. It is not the Vile: Pestilent Destroyer boss who does the HP debuff (and if you know what you are doing, no one in the squad should get hp debuffed anyway).

On rare occasion, when you attack Pestilent Destroyer, the first attack he does deals 7-10 digit damage to everyone in the squad (it might have limited range, but I have never seen it not hit everyone in the squad).

I have seen that too, it does 1.2 billion damage and will wipe the entire squad, it is not a dot, but rather and AOE Wood elemental attack (that is why it hits 1.2 bill on me but 1.6 on sins, regardless is a 1 shot). The cause of the glitch is unknown currently, but it tends to happen right after your fight with the boss begins. If he doesn't do it after about 10 seconds it will not happen. Once the boss does it, it will not do it again. Because of the nature of the glitch, it is hard to say the exact cause of it.

an one-tick aoe dot would also do less dmg on sins o:

You can tell it is not a normal attack, because it does't get recorded in the damage log (if you have it enabled) if you survive the attack with deaden nerves, pious blessing, or cornered beast.
