WOD "The Horrors Within" Epic Falls

[Kaitlen]

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.

If 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.

Same here! I found it 30 min later had to scroll up through the logs to see where I got it. Now that I've got mine, I hope it's a really rare and hard to get drop- but I know a couple of people who have it so maybe not.

But as for WoD horror, there's nothing like 3 tanks tunnel visioning on boss, fighting over hate while adds run free

What about when none of the tanks want to tank and cloud of darkness one shots the dps one by one? Although going man-mode and soloing my groups energized storm cloud was a rush

[Hyouretsuzan]

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.

[RuruKun]

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.
