We got Heroes' Grumbling.

(I just had to change that lol)
I’m really concerned how a player with at least one lv80 class could not know that teleport checkpoints exists after every boss & they can use it in case a wipe occurs.

Either way, GNB could be having moments irl, such as kids/pets/families bothering their gameplay or such. That being said, that ‘please start the fight first so I can tp’-laziness would’ve definitely worthy of a /facepalm.

I like your brother btw, I lost it when I read ‘fragile’ lmao

"Fun" one from yesterday. I que Eyes of the Creator on BLM because its in my Khloe book and the necklace will work for the current fashion report. Always like a good two for one. New player message, no big deal. One of the healers(WHM) is watching the cutscene so i figure its them, but you never know(and it even could have been multiple for all i know). Trash pull is nothing, mini boss is nothing. Actual boss. Fight is going normally, so im only paying attention to what i normally do. First set of scrap lands on the field, and one of the tanks goes to wake it up with the generator. I keep on the boss cause i cant switch targets until they are awake(and me standing there not attacking while i waited would just be stupid). Somehow i take aggro. Im confused, but i pop manaward and live long enough for tank to take it back(by which point ive switched and started killing the scrap). Next scrap goes normal, and at some point in here i glance at the boss and see that im still dangerously close on aggro. I take another hit or two at some point in this sequence, then the tank gets control and buries my aggro a bit. We do the faust segment correctly, though the boss ends up pointing a... is scrapline the 270 degree move? Ends up pointing that straight at us, and i couldnt sprint to the far side to avoid. "Isnt that usually targetted at the tank?" i think to myself. Im mildly annoyed now. Have they been shirking me and thats why i keep taking aggro? I know this isnt a hard fight, and it looks clearly like we're winning but why is this idiot screwing around? Ive seen DPS dead at a few moments, but it only registered in the sense that the boss was alive for an extra round of mechanics or two beyond what you normally see. Well sure enough i take aggro again, as ive been the top dps the whole fight and have managed not to get killed. This time im not fast enough on manaward(which has had enough time to come off cooldown), and i die. Now that im not fighting, i have time to observe everything else. The only heals i saw cast were the healers keeping themselves topped off. Apparently someone was just ressing the tanks instead of healing them. No one even tried to get me back up with a res, and i remained dead on the ground for the last 30+ seconds of the fight. In hindsight, i wonder if fairy heals from the SCH were all i actually got during the fight. No one said a word during the fight(i was annoyed, but not annoyed enough to start typing while casting), no one said a word after, healers were gone before i could stand back up from the fights-over-auto-res. By the time i left(with the bolt i wanted for fashion report) i was no longer annoyed at the tanks, and instead wondering what was wrong with the healers. Contact list didnt show any obvious grouping - people were from 4 or so different servers - so this will just be one of those little annoying runs that sticks with me for a day or two. Like i said at the start, "Fun".

Dear DPS that wants to be a tank,

Please..queue as a tank next time and be thankful that the actual tank is nicer than I am. If it was my decision, I would just watch you die while explaining the mechanics to the newcomer.

Sincerely,
A healer that is tired of your sh*t

There should be no more mobs to pull.

Random leveling queue; me as RDM my lady as a SAM for her first attempt at melee dps. We get Brayflox, I break out in a sweat praying that our tank knows the drill on the final boss. Everything goes smoothly with the biggest hiccups are her trying to learn her rotation and me messing up dualcasts...phew.

Healers in CT raids who can't be arsed to do their jobs are really annoying, especially when you get two.

Call me crazy but I prefer curebots over the healers who just make a macro that just consists of
/ac "Glare" <wait.3>
/ac "Glare" <wait.3>
for 15 lines, refreshing the macro push every 45s, because at least the curebots actually try instead of just pressing their macro and tabbing out and pretending the dead dps or the tank that needs healing don't exist.

Wait people can die in CT?

[Fayt1203]

Wait people can die in CT?

Cant tell if u are serious or not.. it is extremely rare that nobody dies in Ct but i have seen all the groups survive Curtain Call and Ancient Flare so it's not impossible but they are just so rare

[Dogempire]

Wait people can die in CT?

Xande hits really hard even on a tank cycling cooldowns, if your healers are asleep during Scylla you could get frozen and pelted with AOEs till dead, and Amon kills people who aren't paying attention with curtain call, to name a few.

Only boss that doesn't regularly kill people is the second one

"let's do trial real quick"
Sure. Because that never went wrong.
So we got Bismarck and wiped two times, the first times to both tanks running off when we chained him and someone else doing the same shortly after and everyone getting beaten to a bloody pulp because those snake mobs kinda hurt even on a melee.
Second time to enrage. I completely forget that some HW story trials have something like an enrage because I've never seen it on any of them.
Snakes appeared and both tanks grabbed one each (with a few hiccups) and then the fun started: one tank constantly chased the other tanks, always tethering the adds. It was like watching two people play catch. One tank used sprint to get away and the other just gap closed on their add to catch up. One healer used Rescue to yoink him away... aaand gap closer on the other add. We got them to 90% before Bismarck was getting tired of our nonsense and one shot us.
One tank apparently genuinly didn't know what to do with those adds so he just stuck to the other like an unfashionable bumbag.

Wiping to his ultimate thingy in story mode was definitely something new.

[Awha]

Sorry forgot to add a :P

I was joking around since I often see people check out thinking no one dies.
