Please share your Horror stories of WOD and the complete time it took to complete ONE run.
My Story: My group had 5 differtant tanks and 4 differant healers in One run. Total run was 1 hour and 38 mins. No Caster's coat for me again. This marks 20 or more runs without get my coat lol. "The Rub": It took 1 hour to clear the 2nd boss. The rest was ONE shot.

WoD is nothing for horror stories. I had an entire group of people geared to the teeth, many were high level coil vets (Coil only went to 5 at the time)
And my last Final Haven took out Ultima HM/EX's last health point with literally 15 seconds to spare.
THAT was a horror story. lol -

running it 48 times within 3 days for the card: one huge horror story

I got the caster's boots last night. Only one more drop need to say goodbye to WOD forever. The run took nearly a hour, mainly due to the silly "send all the dps into the dog thingy, then watch all healers Die" Yeap, Yeap.

Well i would like to finish the complete WOD gear to glamour it and i really need those sexy caster shoes so i'm going to spam this again tonite...
some runs are actually decent but obviously some others are horrible with people flaming at each others and so on.
Definitely a nice dungeon tho but still a catalyzer of the worst behaviours... -
03-05-2015, 06:52 AMChihayaThat sucks... I think I finished WoD like 3 times since GS came out, got my card already.Quote:

Usually my horror stories revolve around those times where the last boss is nearly dead like 5% and the Shadow Lurkers spawn. The DPS get over excited because the boss is almost down so just tunnelvision then the adds spam debuffs everywhere and explode wiping the party.

Earlier this week, the alliance didn't chain Cerberus up before Reawakening finished. He instantly got 16 stacks and demolished us. Apparently someone had been holding onto the chain and got healed at the last second, so he dropped it. Oh, the blame that erupted.
More memorable was the time on Cloud of Darkness when the MT died and passed aggro onto a DRG, who tanked it until he died, passing aggro onto a BRD, after which it bounced to me, where I Elusive Jump'd in a panic and passed it back to the BRD... Basically, aggro jumped from one dps to another for probably 90 seconds, with several deaths, and didn't stabilize until the MT got back onto his feet and provoked. That's right, neither of the other two tanks thought to do anything about their party members getting maimed and killed by Giant Angry Laser Lady.
I don't think I've had a run take over an hour. Yet. -

In the one I did today, 99% of every alliance died because no one whacked the pop up adds (forget their names), causing everyone to get debuffs, CoD was left at 1%, orbs of death popped up, only one got killed and the other 2 exploded. All 3 tanks survived (I Vengeance'd + Thrill'd, dunno what they did), somehow one Monk (Fists of Earth + ... something?) and we all killed it. Previous to this pull, though, the same thing happened and no one survived. Was pretty incredible.
Also had another run where there were like... 8 MNKs, none of which went inside Cerb, and the 2 (yes, 2) people that went in decided to hit the add and got themselves killed. That was pretty funny. -

WoD: Cerberus Stage (me WHM) - Team C
- Time to get the chains - I go get chains, I was ready to get them.
- Grab chain start running to the connect point (other person had their side and was on their way)
- Someone or something casts on me; I lose the chain.
- Other BLM guy grabs the chain and gets killed on the way (by what, no idea...)
- I run back to get the chain again; didn't make it time.
- Wipe
(PS: Stupid question, is there a way to drop the chain besides getting cast on or die? - I couldn't figure it out and it didn't help our cause 'cause I couldn't cast or release the chain to to enable me to cast... did I really derp there?!)
Could of Darkness (same, Team C, WHM)
- Meteors - do I need to say more?
- Wipe x3 because of same issue. :/
- Team B in this group kept screwing up their hyper-charged cloud part.
Ironically, this group didn't have any problem until Cerberus.
Plus Point: I got my Onion Knight Card on the first WoD run after Gold Saucer release... but... didn't realize I had it in my inventory until awhile later. =.= -

very first run on day 1, beat it with less than 1min left on clock.
was kinda annoyed so many people kept dying through it but at least we cleared it. -
03-05-2015, 09:10 PMMXMoondoggieIf adds hit you then you drop it. Can't be healed i think if anything is cast on you then you drop it. I'm not overly sure but it feels like if people cross paths with you or the chain then you can also drop it. Basically the only safe way is to make sure nothing touches the person holding the chain but healers often get a bit careless and do group heals during the chain phase.Quote:

Only two bosses where I expect wipes- Angra Manyu and a cloud of Darkness. Angra being notorious for instant death. I must have raised over 20 times in that fight. People neglecting to remove doom or not running away from lvl 150 death. Glad I main SCH cause no way my MP would have lasted on WHM. As far as cloud of darkness goes, it's mostly letting her eat too many clouds or failing to intercept the meteors. AHhh WoD my favorite raid.

Only trouble I see are tanks that can't agree on who will MT or what not, and adds not being picked up. Oh and caster gear (healer/BLM) taking a long time to drop. Other than that I think its a really fun run. :)
