How is this possible ?

plain and simple, this guy sucks? I had a BH run in 51 once with a BARB that had his FB.... HE WAS 51! and HE TANKED IT FINE. lol

Edit: wait 80 VENO and he couldnt' take Wyrv? b4 i beefed up my walker i ALMOST had it..... figured i'd be able to at 80 lmao hmmmm

but w/e Wyrv's a wimp now.

This is why I'm so unamused over some of the people playing this game now.

I was soloing my BH59's on my Veno, wined, without anyone with me at all. Took forever, but I got molds, and I didn't have to put up with whining from squadmates.

I keep seeing squads SPAMMING for Barb for BH59, when they have a wiz and bm in squad already. have the BM tank all the mobs, and the wiz tank the bosses. Is that really so hard to understand?

Speaking of failed high level characters... Some people in my faction and my 58 BM needed Eyes of the Krimson Beyond today. So we asked my 100 Sin friend to help. He had something come up, and went afk for an hour. So, a 101 Sin came and tried it. He got 2 shot, by Krimson. You're joking? He told us to find a tank and left.

I then asked someone I know, a 101 Archer, if he could do it. He 3 shotted Krimson.

Really, was it that hard to do? Come on.

I personally think that the dude was lying. Anyone that claims to have several high level characters that doesn't know even the basic of how the game operates in terms of level and damage output is a liar or just stupid. But I really think he is lying.

As for DW and the APS craze, try being a BM and getting anywhere on DW for months now I've been passed over for BH and FC and what not for better interval BM at my level. Sadness, but such the reason I don't play my BM anymore. DW lacks a lot in player-kindness, IMO. Bah humbug. >.>!

"I can't keep aggro >.<" in the screen shot you're supposed to be tanking in xD

Also.. it's a shame people can't play their class, I tank Wyvern on my other BM while he was level 61 and it went just fine. I've tanked quite a few things actually, hell I could solo FB59 at around 75 (excluding Drake, fire DoT hurts). Damn hyper babies >.>

(checks my achievements, notes going from 40 to 70 in 3 days, leaves thread)

Im guessing he just lied because he didn't need Wyvern for BH and didn't feel like helping with it. Its not even possible to wipe at Wyvervn with a 9X party unless you're a complete tool. But the barb missed the fact that you guys done Wyvern before with a lower lvl party, so the stuff he said just made him look like a noob. Thats probably why he suddenly hurt his ankle and had to leave, didnt wanna stay for all bosses.

Barbs often exaggerate how hard bosses are just to get out of tanking >_>

Poorly geared players I guess would make it possible for people to fail, or just mistakes mounted on another mistake. ;/

That or maybe he was thinking of polearm in 69 instead. =x I don't know. (which I tanked polearm at 5k hp, at lvl 86ish on my bm) (after looking at the picture that doesn't seem to be the case. ;/ =x

At that level someone in the squad should have seen that their was something they were doing wrong, I have seen 8x archers tank wyvern with the right cleric healing them. Nevermind seeing tank type barbs do it while they were half asleep/drunk. =x (knowledge is power, wyvern is the first bh boss, that has a real bad curse that might make the tank need to be purified every once in a while.) One other thing I notice with a lot of bhs is that very few clerics/tanks seem to know that if the tank doesn't turn wyvern, the cleric with maxed ranged ironheart can stay out of wyvern's aoe.... or at least they could when I last healed on my cleric which was like 8 months ago. =x lol

Either way I would suggest avoiding squading with him again as the sole tank if at all possible. (I know actual tank barbs are hard to come by, but sometimes if they don't know how to play their character/adapt to bosses and tank/kill a boss like they should, then well... yea avoiding them might be the best thing to do.)

They also exaggerate repair costs.. which is why I'm glad I can tank most instances if needed, just because I hate hearing "My repair bill will but super duper high! My charm ticks too much!" or whatever other lame excuse they have. Bugs the hell out of me...

Also, Gwen, I heard that Zanryu guy is pretty friendly if you give him teles :P

Turn the boss around to avoid frontal aoe's on the squad and cleric either BB's or IH + puri with ranged DD.

Nope - it will shoot behind as well. It's the same range aoe as farren though - casters should be able to stand outside of it.

Having a cleric makes it pretty easy though, you're right about that

GrimReaper tricked this poor cleric into having butt smexb:cry

o.o -.-;

lvl 65 All skills BM with default Vit can tank Wyv. A fail Cleric uses BB and not IH with Purify when needed. I have seen some pull this off tho.

If you are barb tanking use flesh ream as often as you can and beast ... (um the cancel channeling attack) every 5 of Wyv's attacks.

Why cancel then? The debuff and AoE attack happens every 5 attacks. :P

EDIT: could be that their cleric didnt know purify

Yeah, could be...lord knows how many times I've heard facmates saying their cleric didn't know about using purify in bh 69, so...

Still...kind of sad. Needing really high level players to complete such a low bh...I know Wyv is a PITA, but wow...

Also, rofl at the screenie on the last page. XD

k so quick reply of the actual situation :

1/ beginners rely too much on high lvl squad to do the job a regular squad could do = beginners don't learn experience = big noob when they finally reach high lvl

2/ a lot of high lvl now are high because of hyperxp : grind on hyperxp, fcc on hyperxp. I don't call that experience.

3/ its a dead end. Almost all the ancient players with real experience of the game quit cause of : packs, hyperxp, others things.

4/ so almost all end game players are end game thanks to hyperxp, packs. To say it shortly : cash shop. Well all of us don't need to be smart to understand that credit card doesn't give you IG experience.

Conclusion : game is screwed and the vicious circle will be hard to stop.

P.S. : this thread is not a flame thread about PWE politic about packs and hyperxp. Its just the actual state of the game we can all see now.

Guessing the guy was talking out of his backside to get out of tanking.

That level 5x barb should manned up and done it just to prove him wrong. Certainly not that hard so long as your cleric knows what button purify is on.

why make a thread about this? so you can humiliate the guy even more?

back in feb of 2009... i was a nub too- i had to kill chin in shattered jade shore and some high level cleric came to kill it for me if i healed him, back then... i never used IH.. i used purehearted and of course he died, that high level taught me about the heals and i paid attention and thought i was an idiot

this was my first mmo... i knew nothing about gaming and now... i am one of the best on my server, i can solo heal for harpy wraith for example

back then people were willing to help each other, make each other feel comfortable with nto knowing things sometimes and now we make threads calling each other hyper noobs? we have no one to blame but ourselves... kinda dissapointed in this thread
