Did KoL run earlier today.
First mob pull, Tank WAR did his rotation, wondering why I cant heal him quickly, and his HP dropping like crazy. Threw Bene, and all CDs.
Check battle log...
He forgot his defiance *facepalm* obvious wipe...
Retry..
Tank did his rotation, HP went steadily down now....Cast cure II on tank, instant aggro o_O
wipe again because all mob run focused on me.

Tank started to blame me because not healing fast enough...
I don't know what to say ( I even thought it was my fault)
Nevertheless the run went well (I guess?)


Curious, tried running again with another WAR , no aggro for all pulls O>O
Okay....so obviously previous tank missing something in his rotation.

First time ever I beat WAR's aggro during pulls :/

a few days ago i went card farming in Thornmarch on my WHM and had a completely new group without any experience it seemed.

both tanks just started the fight without enabling shield outh / defiance, without ready check, and ofc without asking for explanation or anything (or at least setting MT for that matter).
and even better: the SCH tried to heal in cleric stance all the time... *facepalm*

it took forever to even get the boss to show up, the aoe he did when appearing almost killed half the party (wtf) and nobody knew what to do (is it really that hard to watch a guide beforehand? -.-) so this was going to be fun.
well, it took me one heal to get all adds aggro after boss showed up and nobody cared. was just a matter of time until the adds focused me down and we wiped.

after the wipe one of the tanks said "well that wasnt so bad" and i just left. i almost never leave a duty even if things get really bad, but that was just too much

Ha, I actually had a rare rage quit on Thornmarch HM last week because what's such an easy primal is getting derped over time after time. Last time I marked and said marks were for second phase kill order and to kill in order they show up in first phase. Which ones need to be tanked to a wall... not to attack King before four dead. And so ppl went full on spaz attacking random things including the boss while big AOE damage kept coming in. At one point everyone in the party was less than 25% and WHM was in cleric stance I'm like WTF we're dying here?

It wiped, someone complained about no one giving them instructions on how to do it, so I decided it was worthwhile making that my monthly rage quit.

Then the tank begged for commendations for her mount.-

Ugh.... any time I see someone beg for a comm, I just won't. It shouldn't be an expectation or based on class or even begged for...
It was a long time ago, but the last time I saw a comm begger from DF, the guy had /slap'd me in the beginning over something unimportant with a not-at-all hard content (asked if I had TS, which I didn't because I had no reason to use it before and I'd beaten that content ages ago... it was just nerfed T2. I've DFed that without TS without incident before that) - then they begged for comms at the end.
Oh heeellll no. I wanted to say, 'You want commendations? I re'commend' you don't /slap people and ask for handouts.'

o_O Makes me wonder if he wasn't doing his skills in the correct order for any of them to create enmity.... Lets just spam Butcher's Block only. Yaaaaaay!

Lets just spam Butcher's Block only.

Me and my friend once got a Tank in Snowcloack that would do nothing but Rage of Halone... over, and over, and over, and over, and, over, and, over again

=___=
Every time I remember that, my ears tingle, ring, burst and bleed... *holding ears*

Also, as expected we wiped once at the beginning, and for some reason this guy didnt release to res at the starting line... which was like 15 yalms away... when he accepted the res from my friend, they burned ALL cooldowns... to nothing... thats right, all of them, one per second, there goes Rampage, there goes Foresight, and then the other def cooldown, and another, and another... yup... and the enemies? Over there, playing cards and poking their thumbs...

It has been my second... if not first time I ever quit a run...

May've been a bot. They can go haywire if they end up deviating even slightly from their scripted course.

Probably so.
Ah wellz, DF never cease to amaze me.

That's almost certainly a bot. The trademark if bots is that they minmax "aliveness" over "correctness", eg the healer that only casts Medica II, the tank's and DPS that only cast AOE's, even when there is only one monster. Bots don't actually know how to move, they have to follow fixed coordinates.

This one time, this co-healer I thought was a bot in Labyrinth, I kept canceling their Medica II casts, eventually they started talking in the party chat in broken english. I suspected them of being a bot because every time they were moving, they were "teleporting" from my POV while nobody else was.



The fact that every fight wiped the alliances at least once, wasn't helping. This guy... was casting Medica II before the fight starts.

So Monday, aka the day before reset aka the worst possible day to run any 24 man content, I was healing for some friends in WoD.

This was one of the uglier runs I have been in.

Lets give you the cast of characters:
The Dragoon. Who ws such a floor tanking stereotype it was painful.
The other DPS who were doing less damage than you could believe.
The Tank, who was solidly decent, but seemed to like AOEs.

My alliance wiped once on it's own and came to a near wipe several times. And in fact it got down to me and one DPS at least twice. Lots of panicked healing and raising and I managed to get everyone up and fighting again.

The other alliances also thought it would be a good idea to ignore mechanic on the cloud. So it was a true trial overall.

The worst part of the whole thing after all that healing and running around and keeping everyone up....
