    Really? On PvE servers people cannot heal and buff outside safe zone if they have sword? Wow good to know.

    To be more specific, BLUE named people (non PK mode) can't heal or buf people that have swords.
    It is the same thing with PvP server people under lvl 30.

    Prevents people from interfering with fights in a way that noone can do anything about it

    So here goes the story of a Gate of Delirium Epic Fail

    Our squad consists of :
    Archer lvl 61 , Angi
    Barbarian lvl 50 , Tiggy
    Cleric lvl 45 , me
    Cleric lvl 35 , Rion

    So everything is going perfectly well for the first couple of rooms, but Rion kept on spam heaing, so I said stop spam healing, he stops. Rion draws aggro from spam healing about 5 mins later, I take aggro from trying to keep his sorry butt alive, die, squad wipe.

    That's the story bro's

    Why did he need to stop spam healing? o.O Seems he should've been perfectly able to do so. Was the dds/tanks not getting aggro? Was he healing too early? Just saying stop isn't really enough as a cleric should be able to heal in an instance. :P

    So I am asking for Full Warsong squad on Raging tides server and I get into a really good squad. I see they have a full R9+12 recast archer and assassin. I am like...omg this is my luck! I am with the CashShopper gods of pwi. They had actually more hp buffed than my barbarian in tiger form in the latino faction. So I do my lane with the BM who has R9+10 axes but he is unable to kill the mobs in metal, QQing at me not to keep BB up but to go and seal the mobs because he cannot kill the mobs if they move. I was like...well this BM is in this pro faction with the archer and the assassin, I better follow his instructions. Needless to say we finished last in metal. I healed him from time to time but he zerked crit once and mob exploded, he was uncharmed and died, as pro people it is said they do full WS uncharmed. So this was take 1. All good until the R9 recast archer gets purged and mob explodes killing him. The sin asks if he needs help, he says...no, he goes back, gets selfbuffed somehow with pots and we think it is all good but the npc is still getting attacked in wood. We ask...is all ok, he says lol, I fell 2 times in the bridge...we send the BM to help, I could kill some mobs in metal with my r8+6 glaive and we finish the mobs. We get to the middle of the dungeon and the sin says to the barb...go make a pull to the boss. Barbs goes and makes a pull, gathers all the mobs in the metal, the dragons and the sealing swords and get them grouped nicely near the boss, I used 6 seconds invulnerability potion and BB, the sin gets to 3 spark but he does not IG, gets sealed and cannot attack while in BB, he ticks, the archer sets up BOA and agroes the boss, the boss comes and hits us, BB is down, the sin panics, uses IG and selfstuns himself, the boss kills me, kills the BM, the barb and the veno, then the archer dies too. The sin still self-stunned, gets out of stun and jumps on the edge. FAIL attempt. They all lolled and decided to take 2 groups at the time. We did like that and we got to the boss, killed it easy and a mold drops, barbs says: can I has it? They say...sure, he picks and it gets to my inventory. FAIL! The squad was on random. They blame eachother for who made the squad, it was the archer who made it, passed lead to the sin who was lead, who was under the impression that it was on free. We resquad and do fire. Fire went smooth, small pulls, I just AOE healed them and hardly kept up with the fast pace. We get to water, the archers needs to go to Washroom, we clear without him, he said, brb 3min(took him 10). Meanwhile the Sin is giving me sh11t for not healing him non-stop as he charmticked from those iceladies that occult-ice you. I had to purify the rest of the squad too, not just keep heals on him. We got to the boss, archer came back, asks us where are we? BM says, go jump back and come to Water boss directly from NPC...Archer jumps, goes and teleports to wood by mistake, boss agroes him...boom oneshot! There goes R9+12 recast. :) Archer comes back after 3minutes, he fell again on the bridge. We wait ...barb is getting annoyed, archer needed the badge. We finally kill the boss, clean wood and get to the incarcerate. We get full buffed, BM tells us he will HF on ads so we can kill them fast. I keep BB, we start on the boss, first aid killed, boss is half HP really fast, the sin laggs stops attacking and gets disconnected. The boss summons an add who purges, the BM HFs the boss, for some reason the add was not close enough, the archer triplesparks and the add purges us, canceling his buffs and sparkdmg. We kill the aid and archer gets agro from barb, starts getting ticked, I heal and rebuff the squad but the archer runs with the boss who is APSed, we see the aps add on one side, BM and barb kill it, veno goes to purge the boss, gets apsed and dies, the archer still runs around with the boss chasing when out of the sudden, boss spawns many adds around him who slow, purge and we get wiped. We get back, get rebuffs, they discuss if to wait or not for the R9 recast sin to come back. Meanwhile, he comes back, boss 2shots him before he can jump over ...he comes back, we get full buffs and we kill the boss relatively fast and the adds too. We kill the next boss too that drops the weap mold, boss drops mold for wiz weapon and for seeker longsword. Both Sin and BM claim bids on the sword mold, finally the BM gives it up, the sin splits and I ty all and drop squad. It took us 1h and 27minutes to do full. Was fun but I can say, there is failure even when you have R9 recast in your squad. I once did some math, it cost several thousand gold to get the amount of coins only for that armour set and weapon, not to mention the gems and rafines. Good job pwi with the new warsong instance.

    WOW, mgentleman, now THAT is one of the most exquisite, beautifully
    rendered Wall-of-Texts I have ever seen. Seriously.

    I DID read it all actually, and can see that you write well.
    I'm afraid most ppl won't realize that, however, because they won't
    read it, due to its WoT-ness . Judiciously placed paragraphs
    would do wonders for your post. And I'm not being smart-***, even
    though it does sound that way. I am thrilled to read something
    utilizing, for the most part, proper grammar, spelling, punctuation,
    etc., and hate to know it will be ignored by most because of the
    afore-mentioned WoT aspect.

    Anyway, good story, well told.

    Now my own weird squad thing: In a bh39 run. Forget who all was
    in the squad, only know there were 2 clerics, me & another one.

    An aside: lvl'ing up my new char & doing runs nowadays, I've
    noticed the squad make-up is usually really off-the-wall. Like
    4 clerics & 2 sins, or (more often) 5 sins & 1 cleric. I did a
    run the other day where we had--I kid you not--4 barbs in squad, lol.
    It's because nowadays squads are so difficult to find at this level,
    that you take anything you can get.

    Return to weird story: so 2 clerics in squad. I communicate at
    the first, to determine which of us will be primary healer, and
    which can feel free to dd. He says he'll heal.

    Run to first group of mobs, and we're all shocked when cleric
    keeps throwing the pdef buff on us; but no one said anything,
    figuring I guess that maybe he was just hitting wrong hotkey
    or something. But continuing on down the cave, he KEPT doing
    it. Finally someone says, "use ur IH", or "heal!" or something.
    So cleric throws the mdef buff on them now. Don't know if he
    didn't understand English, or was just messing with our heads
    or what, but he continued to throw buffs instead of heals.

    Of course, I was there so we made it thru ok (boy, that sounds
    arrogant, lol. I just mean, another cleric was there). But
    this cleric would just do very odd things, even aside from the
    "buff-for-heals" thing. Would throw group heal suddenly while
    we were all just standing around with full HP. Wellspring Surge
    randomly thrown for no apparent reason. Stuff like that. I
    would have thought some player's toddler was perhaps banging
    on daddy's keyboard, except that there was enough purpose and
    awareness shown (able to follow squad, etc.) to know this
    couldn't be the case.

    After the initial "I heal" at the beginning of run, this
    player never said a word. Whenever someone would say something
    to him or ask a question, he'd just throw another buff on them
    in response. Luckily since there was another cleric and we
    made a successful run, no one really got pissed-off, and we
    were able to have a good time, snickering & making rude comments
    behind his back in pm's, like well-mannered ppl do.

    And THIS . . .mgentleman, is how a Wall of Text with paragraphs
    looks.

    +1 r9 woot is not needed.
    the seriusness is mostly the mentality of ppl wish make it seem so.
    i mean yes boss hit hard but that is not why u will find almost only OP player doing full ws but becouse in our sin pw we have right now with barb scarce as is and ep to and just sin sin sin.
    if you want to find a ranbow sqad of anything its gona be r9

    another note is the speed factor of things aside from the failness of partys.

    in lost do you know how many barb are active at the moment.

    active as main or really used not alts we have i woudl dare say 5% and of those most do nothing but faction ws faction gw faction anything.

    if you remove barb you will lose a big tank role for such a thing as full ws and then will have to relly on op or really great geared bm seeker or other semi tanks.

    barb dying is part of seed and bad agro
    most dont want to just be a buffer or puller and thats it.
    but at same time those player make sin and expect someone else to make a barb for there inability to play a barb wish all server can see no barb.

    ITT: How do we WoT

    On Topic:

    Tanked BH59, as a level 70 archer

    Had a Galleta cleric and a random cleric. Anyone from DW probably know the Galleta faction; that guy randomly BBs at the edge of a valley, for no reason, Leeroy Jenkins rush at mobs, and the Seeker can't seem to decide which character he wants to play on although that was okay.

    Apparently none of them could hold aggro so I ended up tanking Zimo from BB, Seeker brought a BM to tank Ofo, no one needed Qianji, I tanked Drake and wtf, the clerics let me burn to death from DoT after the boss died and as I looked at them expecting purify. I mean, it's only a big glaring burn icon on the side of my name, right?

    When I tanked Glutt I was smart enough to drum the words "Purify plz" into both clerics' heads, and I got purified. BB got knocked down and I tanked him off of IH. Galleta cleric went back to DDing after his BB was knocked, leaving the other cleric to heal and purify the whole squad.

    No one noticed that the poor Wiz disconnected b:surrender , not that we could have held boss anyways...

    Seeker brought in a level 80 archer for tanking Glutt but my autoattack couldn't stop taking aggro, so I tanked it.

    The bosses and most of the mobs.

    Once in bh51 I got kicked for aggroing mobs ahead of the barb. Barb was the leader.

    A month later in another bh51 squad we had the typical aggro-happy archer but everything was going rather smooth. After stealing aggro from barb on Fushma the archer dies. After Fushma the barb then orders the archer to apologise. Without success the barb insults the archer while the squad attempts to make him stop. 5 minutes later we figured the barb would refuse to move unless the archer would apologise. After some more drama I asked the squad leader to kick the barb. Then I tanked the other 2 bosses... Without barb buffs, of course.

    Must tell I had a ton of fun with bh69 though... As I would run it mostly with a cleric friend we were always trying our best to get people frightened with things like "mini barb tanks" and "we already have a barb" (with no barb in squad) and while the rest of the squad was thinking I would attempt to tank polearm with a herc I would then summon my "mighty" sharptooth wolfling. Several times we had people leaving... Even venos would get scared xD
    According to my friend keeping me alive on fox form was easier than with most bms and undergeared barbs. Insane as it was it was fun to tank that thing with 3.2k hp.

    This is one reason I sometimes call RT RagingTards in my fac chat.

    Organized a fws run with a really good myst in my fac. Not many people were around fac so we decided to wc for some randoms. I was BM, then we got a really nice roster of toons for our squad. When we got into ws that's where my headaches begin.

    Barb: y no veno this squad faill qq (this is a partial r9 barb from a prominent tw fac)
    Seeker: yeah y no veno we screwed at endboss no amp qq ( another notorious seeker in another tw fac)

    My myst facmate did really well despite all the qq basically aimed at her at me, being squad leader I have to tell off the qqers to bug off and complain if the run gets awry.

    the run went smoother than expected, we managed to finish fws without any fuss but when I was about to ask for another run the 4 randoms declined. I think the cleric basically told me what is prolly one of the biggest irks of the server gear wise.

    ''I don't usually squad with Morai wep guys, cya!''

    Myst has a Morai 101 wep

    This is a description of one of most fun TT's I've ever had.

    We had a squad of my lvl 100 barb, 101 archer, 101 sin, 100 cleric and 101 BM, also 100 seeker. Squad did well, some of people were bit silent and especially cleric tend to speak nothing and DCed couple times.

    Nothing special at Fataliqua, wurlord, feng, cosmoforce, doggy or tentacle boss.

    Last boss.. well..

    We made a plan. I was supposed to keep the boss on me while others would kill the appearing minions. Plan sounded good and I held aggro on the boss while others worked on these mobs. Cleric died and DCed, never returned back.

    Others managed to kill the mobs, I stopped running and started tanking last boss. We managed him without cleric, without any sort of heals and all stood alive. Our squad did not have pro gear but we all were skilled players and succesfully managed to kill the boss.
    I was very proud. I've been in many squads where the last boss in 2-3 has wiped entire squad couple times and we did it all smooth. Was absolutely epic fight.

    Eh this was kinda horrible and I can't help but blame myself.

    There was me as barb, TT 90 cleric, 5 aps sin, BM, TT 99 seeker and r8 archer in BH Metal

    No problems with mob groups unless we include the accidental pull archer did.. we survived without squadwipe at that point, though.. anyways

    At snake... sin stole my aggro after boss half HP. I was invoking at that time and fish died before I got aggro back (he didnt stop attacking though to make it even bit easier). We continue, snake starts going frenzy and archer dies. Now we lack of 2, they both die when thy come back and enter to range. We tell them to stay outside range. We loose the cleric next due to AoE, I am alone with seeker and BM. Boss is almost dead, I stop attacking with seeker, BM manages to steal aggro and I had to FR boss to get aggro back. BM died, so did the boss.

    Cleric, BM, sin and archer all lost the credit. Errrr...

    Did a few all psy fc squads at lvl 90-98, they were actually really PRO, the tanker was in white voodoo, they were the one who wasn't a pure mag build, so they had quite a lot of vit and more str than the rest of us, so naturally had a much higher HP than us, the rest of us dd'd (obviously) we were all charmed and had plenty of crabs which most likely helped, so basically we were all throwing aoe's on groups and such so everything went down in an instant :P the most epic part of this was the exp room mobs pull, the psy in white voodoo pulled surprisingly the WHOLE room, we all had sage spark read, we also all had cloud eruption on our genies so we could stack sage spirit + tide spirit, we all ended out 1 shotting the mobs as a group b:victory the only reason the white voodoo psy survived the mobs when he had finished the pull was due to the fact he had lvl 10 psy will, so he decided to do that then cloud eruption (lol) then sage spark then WAMMY, pro psy only FC b:cool

    I gotta say my worst most recurring incident back in the day of nirvana would be 3-4 man squads where me the BM and 2-3 assassins

    1) Ask 1st ask squad should we get another BM/Assassin to tank

    2) Nah either of us can handle it (With buffs) we got +10 daggers

    3) 1st boss 1 assassin dies and barely finish

    4) 2nd boss both assassins die and i tank till there back

    5) Rest bosses they die i tank they die i tank rinse and repeat.

    Problem: +10 daggers with +0-3 gear and 5k HP does NOT make you able to tank stuff.

    Problem 2: Refining weapon so much that you have aggro but not able to take damage

    Solution: Refine your gear to par or don't refine wep

    Solution 2: Get a cleric.......
    Another would be in FC on my alts

    Short and simple with class specific incidents

    BM: No stun/HF people die or takes alot longer/APS groups of mobs

    Cleric: Whats BB?/IH's good enough for a pull/Meditate for mana.....just.......

    Barb: Doesn't aggro mobs on return(Not a prob if someone else does)/Goes stand up on bosses/Doesn't know skills to keep any aggro on mobs....

    Archer: Single attacks mobs without ever aoeing/ Pulls fists and starts punching mobs........

    Wizard:Doesn't stone barrier/Don't attack because afraid of aggro/Single attack without aoes (Even when they do have chi)

    Veno: Well not much i can say here in all my years of playing PWI never did a ton of runs with venos only thing is passing sparks never happens even with extra chi.

    Assassins: Tries to solo pulls or groups then dies/Tries to solo bosses ahead of group....then dies

    Psychics: Soul of silence with aggro on good number of mobs.....i hate chancing mobs....

    Seekers: When a huge groups of mobs coming you vortex not reg aoe(When good gear and higher level this can work but say 80-90s that is a nope)/ Doesn't debuff bosses

    Mystic: Won't help heal when needed

    That is about it since this is long enough and well..... its 4am.....soooo.....yeah....

    I was in fb 51 with my lvl 51 seeker, we got a 78 cleric, 85 archer and 6x herc veno + 6x BM in squad with same HP as I had.

    Fushma no problems.

    Rankar... cleric sets up BB. I said he might interrupt it and they should be careful. Others said cleric is high lvl, she can take it if BB drops blah blah. I stayed quiet after it, we continue as rankar didnt drop BB luckily.

    Wyvern. No no no. Cleric heals the archer, think she set up BB and didnt run backwards from wyvern. Cleric and archer die. Veno tries to tank with herc, we manage it for some time but herc dies, BM dies, I die and eventually BM does too. Cleric comes back to res us. While waiting I told her she should stand back, just IH and purify the tank, not stay near the boss or else she's gonna fail. Others told me not to blame the cleric, cleric job is hard blah blah. I said I have a lvl 89 demon cleric as well, their answer: " so ur a DD cleric ". Ehh, no. I just like to have some pew pew damage between my heals.

    We are going to retry and I tell I bring my barb if we fail again. Cleric tries to stay far this time but forgets to purify archer/heal DDs. BM dies. Archer dies. Rest of us die. I give up and invite my barbarian to solo it.

    This happened recently in FC:

    A lvl97 demon sin fights with us up to bubble boss, kills none of the shades. Wasn't that concerned about it cuz we had a good puller.

    When we reach bubble boss we all decide to glitch it, the barb tells the sin to go kill the bishops in the hallway while we wait.

    The sin pauses for a bit then starts hitting the Glacix around the boss and the barb tells him to kill bishops again. He actually asks for help killing glacix after the 4th time, and then starts insulting the barb about his tank (which was a reasonable 13k hp) with...Get this...Unbound gold gear that stated "Will be Bound when Equipped." None of it had ever been worn, or refined/sharded.

    Sin kept linking those for about 2 minutes, then finally someone kicked him. We got annother sin and continued as a normal pro squad from there. b:victory

    Thing I don't understand is how a lvl 97 who says he's an FC pro can't tell the difference between a Glacix and a Frost Bishop...I mean they're not even the same size or color, and glacix only appear at bubble boss b:shocked

    Simple solution to prevent myself from the epic fails this game comes up with sometimes^^ Make a Barb and a cleric alt + if you can let ur partner (if u have one) make a mystic and a sin. Level them all simultaniously and you can do pretty much everything the game offers without ever needing the help of anyone.

    Yeah sure cleric and barb alone works well too...but takes very much time to kill anything. (But compare that to the time that gets wasted because of the squad wipes and fails you get sometimes involved in. Plus you can keep all drops to yourself =P

    I did it like that when me and my gf started out on Momaganon based on my experience from Sanctuary. It worked well for me but that kinda prevents you from meeting new people. Sometimes thats a blessing...sometimes it's not.

    But I will not be in a disadvantage because of the failure from other people ever again. Prevent yourself from others if they are the reason why this games is annyoing you.

    Got at least one alt of any class above level 100.
    All decently geared and skilled (: .
    And the most important thing is: They are all fun to play ^.^ .

    I got tons of alts as quoted on my signature. About a year ago I was doing a bh51 with what I thought was a decent squad. Until sin and bm started competing against each other on who was a better dd. Basically they would attack random mobs and we're all over the place while I was running back and forth healing them with my cleric.

    I kept asking nicely to stop and when both told me to shut up and just do my job(heal) I basically stopped healing ^_^

    The bm dropped first after pulling a group of 3 follow by the sin who thought Hahaha I can take them... Well not without my heals. After I got their attention (they both were upset at me for not healing I explained I couldn't keep running like that and still protect the other 3 people in squad actually doing what they were supposed to be doing. So again I rez and tried again... They when back to going crazy so once again I let them died.

    Long story short. I finish the bh with the other three people while the sin and bm watch while dead as we killed the boss and tele out of the instance.

    unwined Bh59 squad. barb, sin, mystic, seeker and archer (me).

    Got to ofo. mystic dc'd. We stood around waiting for them to relog.

    Barb ran back to centre. We asked what he was doing.

    He didn't know you needed to kill bosses. Thought we were done on that bit because we'd 'run to Ofotis'. Lvl73 and never done a BH and killed bosses.

    Being asked to heal when I'm waiting for that person to grab all agro. Not my fault you're twoshot, HA wearing physical or even evasion ornaments.


    Also, I was in an alt FCC yesterday. 3 level 100 sins, who all had less hp than my cleric who's sitting at epic 5.3k ... It was fun, so to say.

    SO, I get invited by a friend to join a BH Metal squad. We start it, continue filling, and one of them want to wait to enter until after the timer is up.

    Timer's up, we go to the heart, and are waiting on the remaining member.
    Suddenly the barb goes running into the first group of mobs. No warning. Nothing. I immediately throw BB up, and right about that time the barb dies. So I get all the aggro and die as well. The rest of the squad that was present followed suit shortly.

    Second try. Now we're all ready. They tell me to put BB up before he's gone to get aggro. Since I know this is a stupid idea for me, I hold off until he' out there and actually pulling. (Because most people should know by now that heals will pull aggro.) BB's up, barb is running back with two groups, and promptly dies right before he makes it back. Chaos ensues again. I last longer this time, but once again, the squad wipes out.

    So I'm like, "WTF!?!?!" I look at the barb that's pulling. He's 98, and has 13k hp buffed in tiger form. I look at his gear. b:beatup He's got the full set of Morai level 95 gear, at best it's +3, and he has one shard in it, (not one type, one single shard), a VIT+10 shard. No wonder this guy is falling over.

    So I say something about it. I'll openly admit, I'm not exactly a nice person at this point. I didn't openly bring up his gear, but I did mention that he should have quite a bit more hp if he wants to actually be a barb. At this point, I'm informed that it's a "training run" for the noob barb with **** gear. The other barb (101, who hasn't really done anything but buff us), speaks up and says "yeah, I'm only at 17k because my gear sucks". I check his gear, it's marginal TT80 gold. b:irritated Apparently the 3 in the squad from the same faction all knew this information ahead of time, but they're all on TeamSpeak and the rest of the squad is just uninformed.

    So now knowing what not to expect from this run, we continue. At the end, myself and the R9 Archer were the only ones remaining when the boss died. Everyone else was dead. If we had tried to hold him much longer, we would have been dead too.

    At the end of it all, I get yelled at for being frank about the failure of the barb in training to inform the rest of the squad that he was in training, and had **** gear, and that we were all likely to die several times because of this.
    I'm not invited to any more runs with that faction now.
    That's fine by me.


    Just for reference, I have a level 91 barb that has merely average TT90 green gear. (except the weap, it's gold.) My barb has about 16.5k hp with the same buffs that gave the other two barbs 13k and 17k hp. I'll also note that that gear cost me about the same as the one VIT stone our noob had.

    If you're training, let everyone know.
    If your gear sucks, know your limitations, and inform everyone else that the run will be different because of your limitations.
    It's just plain courtesy.
    It's not hard.

    While I completely agree with your end message, I disagree with your technique.

    I don't know if you play other classes, but it always helps because your squad is not likely to bring a second cleric and you're not going to see what other clerics do. What I do for metal is take about 3 steps back to the edge of the statue and go slightly to my right, then setup bubble. This accomplishes a few things. Most barbs will run straight at the mobs and still be getting bubble heals when they reach the mobs, but if you step back and to the side they wont be in bubble range when they hit the mobs and so won't get heal aggro. When they come back they'll turn slightly to the side because you're slightly to the side and there is a wall there, so the mobs will also clump better so they're closer for aoeing. Also, being on the right side allows them to step out of bb on the left side to go in to the mobs. Lastly, having your bb up early and using cloud eruption allows it to cd before mobs start coming in. If your bb gets knocked down by aoe interuption you can instantly put it back up.

    If I have a caster/archer ranged pulling I'll put the bb as close to the mobs as I can without aggro so they can stand in bb to pull.



    My "wtf just happened" squad was a BH79. Squad is made. I'm 5th person in it and I was a level 90 bm or something and there were 99 barb and 100 cleric in there.
    They ask "Are you guys inside?"
    'yes'
    "RUN TO HOOLI! GO QUICK"
    So I start booking it along with a few others... We have no idea how they got to Brig and Linus and were "safe" but all the mobs to Hooli were cleared AND they had Stygean. All of a sudden here they come with about 50 mobs and 3 more bosses plus Hooli. Was just odd to enter an instance and within 2 minutes have all the mobs and bosses in the entire instance in one area and being killed. Barb kept aggro like a pro though and we mowed down the mobs and bosses.

    This was 2-3 years ago when sins were just being introduced and 99-100s weren't well geared. Was pretty insane for that time.

    try this using the chickens from BH59 it's hilarious playing who's chicken has agro

    Chicken run! I forgot...does any of our crew have a blue chicken? b:laugh


    I've had some very interesting squads, mostly surrounding having more HP than the HAs in squad (my veno is a pure AA, flawless shards, +2 TT80 green. She had more HP once than everyone in squad besides the barb)

    Epic? Shattered.

    Was in Bh Metal as a cleric. 4 members of the squad kept dying, so the boss hit harder and harder. Eventually the boss just oneshot any of those 4 that went to the pavilion from npc. Boss couldn't kill me or the psychic that killed the boss. Pretty sure the boss hit it's maximum attack with enrage on. Was hitting my cleric for 5 to 5.5k with magic aoe under bb and my cleric had 18k+ mag defense.

    Been there :/ Have the squishies go back to heart and stand as far away as possible but still get credit. They're more help not helping then they are trying to help and dieing.

    I had a BH Delta 3 a while ago. I was tanking, had a seeker, wizard, cleric, bm, and... something else. I think an archer. Archer and cleric wanted to do it at the start to get mp from the eye. Fine. I'm pulling wave 1-3 (sleep wave) and my skype pops up with a call, completely minimizing my game. When I go back to the game it lags for like 30 seconds. I get back in and the squad is either slept or dead, including myself.

    Frantically apologizing I rez, buff, and go help the bm and together we finish wave 1-3. No one stands up. The Wizard is just standing there, alive but afk.

    "Rebuff pls"
    "...hello?"
    "is everyone afk?"

    So I realized the cleric, archer, seeker, and wizard (friend I was actually there helping) were all afk. Cleric and wizard came back around 2-3, the archer and the seeker right before 3-4. Was pretty ridiculous to realize 2/3 of my squad logs into Delta and afks and only checks in every 10 minutes or so and doesn't bother to tell the squad this.

    Had an epic warsong squad other day. Full warsong, an r999 weapon sin and r999 weapon mystic. After we finish clearing, the mystic, who had defended metal, never came back to heart of city, but stayed in metal. After the mobs spawn, he pulls them all to us in heart, while we have no clue where he is and are waiting for him. Meanwhile, the sin goes and clears fire, comes for metal advanced boss, then goes back to fire. After we kill metal boss, the mystic clears wood/water up to the split while we fight through earth. Sin finishes fire, and jumps the gap to earth, we kill that boss, then kill fire, then finish and kill wood/water. clearing done in 20 minutesb:victory

    Edit: The purify spell on mystic r999 allowed him to do pulls with all the stuns and debuffs going at him, especially in water

    How about a TT 3-2 with a noob lvl 102 cleric...

    She didn't know where to go. I asked her whether she has been in that TT before or not, no answer. Seems she has used some sort of resources because she had SOME sort of clue of few bosses..

    First boss we had to explain her where to stand healing.
    Djinscream she BBed... errrr.
    Deathflow she asked what to do.
    Doggy boss.. she asked if we can lure the boss and can she BB etc.
    She died at hands on our way to aps boss and we had to advice her back.. we skip aps boss and continue to Snake, there she asked actually nothing. Just healed from max range.

    Emperor... was hell. First try she asks if she can BB, we tell her to heal from max range. She IHs and CHBs but forgets to purify herself and doesnt heal herself. Cleric dies. Squads slowly wipes. Boss is at 800k and I tanked it on my barb to 100k all alone until he bubbled me and I died too.
    Second try. Cleric tells she only IHs and doesnt heal DDs. Squadwipe.
    Third try we managed to get her heal herself first before the rest of us. We get emperor killed...

    Squad gets lost trying to find minister.

    At minister cleric asks if she can BB. We tell no, heal from max range. Sin goes to lure boss. Cleric asks same question again and we deny. We advice her where to move, she stands still. Boss is at me, cleric gets slept and finally understands to move backwards. We kept telling her to keep purifying us and IHing only tank as she was rather focusing on CHB.

    Last battle of NW tonight, its about to end, and we need to cap 2 flags to win, in 20 v 20

    I recently gained access to Endless Universe, so I figured why not have a training run to check it out (I mostly learn about instances by running them)

    So I get a full squad with the usual, barb/cleric/me(bm)/veno/others. All the others are lv98-100, I'm lv96(why doesnt avatar update >.<).

    We go in and defeat the first boss without too much trouble, then move to the next. She gives us more trouble (the cleric almost died) but we managed to beat it.

    Then we move on...Ghostwing wipes out the barb and a sin in the squad, I end up having to tank until they get back.

    After a few intense minutes of the cleric freaking out, the sin manages to get back. The barb says "sorry i g2g" and leaves, and I end up being the tank for the final boss.

    After a few more mins we finally beat the boss. That was insane, but fun.
