The Most Clutch Holmgang

Post your fun warrior stories of using holmgang in the most crucial situation.

My most recent one was in Alex 3 today during vortex phase. I got tethered to a party member that didnt complete the polarity mechanic resulting in -30% attributes. Then I got the damage tether, quickly holmganged an add running off and swapped into defiance and used equilibrium. Was the highlight of my day.

Titan Ex with single heal, single tank. I had 5 stacks, full health, no adlo, no stoneskin, no CDs left. Hit holmgang and went to 1 hp from the next mountain buster. I can't remember if we cleared that time.

I have yet to figure out how to Holmgang a) in time b) not just a little too early and c) not directly into at least one (probably more like five) AOE zone.

That said I did enjoy Shiva farming, getting targeted for pushback as MT/single-tank, and getting to stand there pressing a big ol' NOPE button labeled Holmgang. :P

Alex A4 yesterday

During the last seconds of the fight, boss was spamming me with Perpetual Ray (or whatever it's called) and my HP dropped to 1 twice during holmgang

Me and 7 other people got the kill just after that ><

I was low on HP. I saw a big hit coming. I Holmganged, and lived.

Best use of holmgang I have seen here.

My personal favorite was against Levi EX. I was tired and on the tenth run when I accidently ran to the slam instead of away from it with the bubbles. I can't remember if I targeted the bubbles or levi, but I do remember Holmgang activated at the right time, and I sat at the ledge damn near pissing myself.

was doing leves to lvl up war and got one where the enemy ran away to get reinforcements. NOT TODAY.

Healer let me die in an instance aoe pull, still two mobs left. I revived at start of instance equilibrium'd for tp, took the shortcut and sprinted. Healer was sprinting towards me with less than 1k hp. Used provoke on one mob and HGed the other so it was bound while I established agro.

T10, got hit with Heat Lightning, and Wild Charge is coming. I'm feeling lazy as an Off Tank. I take the first hit of Wild Charge like I'm suppose to as an Off Tank. Hits me 45k... only not because I used Holmgang. Boss turns and Crackle Hisses Main Tank right after. Hits me for 20k... only not because Holmgang is still active. Inner Beast + Thrill of Battle right after so the healers don't have a heart attack at seeing a low HP bar. T13, second set of Ahk Morns is coming soon, Paladin is scared. Provoke, establish enmity + Holmgang. First Ahk Morn hits like a Mentally Handicapped Gorilla, followed by his two equally mentally handicapped cousins. Still live anyways because just as I lose my Holmgang, my Paladin has regained his courage and Covered me + Provoked.

Sorry, but nothing beats the planned uses of this skill.

Just reminded me of Frontlines. All the joy of charging a bard, and getting that holmgang just as they back flipped away. Was beyond enjoyable to watch them get so far, and get dragged right back at me XD

Can't say that Holmgang is ever clutch given it takes 5 hrs to trigger, lol. Helped you not die that 1 time your healer forgot to heal is more likely the scenario and you noticed they weren't healing before you died.

I can supply you with maybe the worst?

We went into Turn 13 one day and our normal warrior was at work, but we had an extra healer available so our Scholar went warrior. Everything was going OK until we got to about 10%-ish left in the fight and a megaflare went out. It was one of those funky tether situations where two people on the same side got it, but the DPS/heal didn't cross paths so it was still relatively easy for the tanks to coordinate. Well, our warrior ran right into the stack group to grab the tether and then started running out of the stack group, but hit Holmgang on the boss and rooted his tornado directly on top of the megaflare stack point.

Actually now that I think about it, it was pretty damn hilarious. We asked what the hell he thought he was going to do right there and he says..."I fat fingered..."

Lol.

My fav Holmgang moment came during a run in satasha hard, when ur at final trash b4 the boss the captain activated his holmgang on me. I was like Fuk yo holmgang /activates holmgang. we wiped 3 times at squid boss tho
