Every time I think I have a handle on POTD...

Something like this happens - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEb2n9b_nfk

In a game mode that is designed as a player skill challenge, the monkey with an attack buff used a tank buster on the healer and instagibbed them. I fail to see why this should be surprising at all.

lol haha you died

Well rekt good sir

Do not think it is just referring to that but if it is you are right.


Also I am trying to see if this has to do with the "animation lock" issue, that vid in specific, and I think it does, with how I view things. You can see the BRD finished casting straight shot before the SCH died, but the buff was not applied yet. As it was walking away, the animation hit it, then he got the straight shot buff while being immune.

Another possibility the OP may be referring to is why did it walk back and come back again? It is a weird thing with this game. When a monster kills everyone that had hate on it (this case only the SCH even though animation lock/slow processing prevented the brd to be on the list as well) It goes to reset. However, while resetting, people can get on the hate list again (BRD and PLD hit it while it was walking back) so it came back to whoever was on the hate list after the reset. Since shield lob has enmity attached to it, it walked back for the PLD.

huh, thought straight shot buff applied right away, didn't think it was that slow.

you got 3-4 times a vulnup so you just get killed by everything who hits you next. And mobs have to hit a target first before they change their target.

Oh, cool. I didn't know the floors looked different past 100.

There only a few thing you need to remember,

*Don't get mad if people skip blue chest, it happens and you will get them in due time.
*Speed runs are a must.
*Know your items Know when to use them, how they work, and ask for help
*After floor 30 stay in group
*To venture pass floor 100 Recommended to be 99/99 on lights
*For floors 100+ a healer in group is recommend if planning to go to floor 200
*Bomb traps will help a lot in later runs. Learn and use them to your advantage.
*Clear first 100 floors solo This will test your survival skills and will make groups runs a lot easier.
*To avoid traps, Try to hug sides ( Less chances of traps ) and range pull into corridors. Safer battles.

For bosses : Use Lust always to make run faster, stick to mechanics.

NOTE: Floor are at random and TOP THING TO REMEMBER IF YOU DON'T KNOW, ASK!!! This is more of a basic points guide. As you become more experience you will understand mechanics better. Also Try to clear up to floor 100 Solo. It is to your benefit and will help you understand how stealth and speed is necessary.

Not really. Splitting up to find the cairn of passage first is better, especially because on classes like BLM staying in group means you're doing basically nothing as everything dies before you get a cast off. On the other hand, if I go off by myself, I can pop Enochian and clear a room in about the same time it takes the other three people to do the same. You do need to be slightly more mindful of what you're doing because pulling multiple mobs only to hit a landmine or get a random spawn or pop a luring trap can be a bad time, but it's not like it's dangerous if you just pay attention.

IF you have experience true, what I posted is more of a basic guideline to ensure successful runs for the most part. Normally for people can solo to 100+ are more dependable.

Nah, it's just about getting instagibbed.

You're trying to pull your own pet peeve from an unrelated discussion into this thread where it doesn't belong.

@OP - one word. Ouch. Must have insulted its mother or something, lol.

It is not a derail you are wrong, I was stating everything what they might be referring to because I really do not know. Where they confused why the monster patched back like that? I do not know but I explained why. If you can't see I explained correctly what happened there, that is you, not me.

The only attempt in derail is your post in a passive/aggressive attack to me.

They weren't confused - they posted an amusing video of them getting instagibbed (you can even hear them laughing in the video). The title of the video "Healer tank doesn't work" is intended as a humorous title - the "funny" being that they pulled aggro as a healer and got instagibbed.

That's all there is to it. It's a funny video posted for their amusement and for the amusement of any who watch the video.

There's no "animation lock" discussion to be had here. At all. Keep it in your own thread.

Again wrong, read what was said:
"Every time I think I have a handle on POTD..."

"Something like this happens"

So I was pointing out all the "something like this " may be since I do not know, (was he talking about why the monster did not attack others that hit it? was he asking about the reset and why he questions he does not have ah handle on it? I do not know, but I ask again, please stop your passive/aggressive attacks on me. Or are you telling me you simply can't see that issue in that video? I did put it in my thread to go further into it, kind of ironic you are telling me this and yet you are the source of the derailing.

Am I the only one here who isn't taking this thread too seriously?

OP posted a witty tittle and comment with a funny video. Yet everyone goes off on a tangent about how PotD should be speedran or whatnot.

It's not a relevant issue, nor is it the reason they posted. That's abundantly obvious, given all the context - the video itself, the laughing, the humorous title, the first couple comments that understood the reason behind sharing the video and commented accordingly.

The thread? Not at all - it's a funny video, and I'm sure we've all had moments like that.

Now, if someone is trying to drag another discussion that isn't relevant into a thread where it doesn't belong, I'll happily call them out on it, cause it's annoying and unnecessary and ultimately detracts from the original purpose.

Then stop driving the thread off topic to attack me for no reason.

Harambe's spirit of vengeance has done its work. I see nothing wrong here.
