    It's WoD. Looking away from the Angry Meatball is the hardest mechanic left, followed by chaining the doggo.

    Oh, that's the funny part, as someone who has had a lot, lot, looooot of bad experiences with Angra, I can assure you, his problem isn't the pletora of instakill... sometimes it is, I had runs where we repeatedly wiped on him because 15+ people were dying to his gaze doom, but the really deadly and insidious part are his adds, to elaborate... immediately after the roulette mechanic resolves, he will spawn two Ahriman adds, these adds must be killed as soon as possible, if they aren't killed within a minute or so, they will cast Eyes On Me, which is a huge raidwide blast that deals 4-5k damage... in a raid where your max HP is just over 5k as a DPS, you only really need two people to target them, they don't have that much HP, but if you can't kill them because, say, you were hit with Level 150 Death and people didn't move out of the circle which means you died by no fault of your own, or everyone assumed that someone else would get them which means nobody got them(...never do that), they will wipe the raid or get damn close with the only survivors being those who were outside their range.

    In that screenshot, that's exactly what happened, I had barely survived the blast, and immediately hit Max-Potion+Second Wind(my trusty Max-Potion stack is a godsent as idiot-proofing in ARR content), which put me at a comfy amount of HP on my own, but I still witnessed a whole alliance get utterly demolished in one second.

    I wish I lived in your world, wherever that might be? that's not even my worst WoD run this week, we somehow managed to not wipe even once, see this post for my second worst WoD experience of all time... because we at least cleared, my worst period was a Disband after the 5th wipe at Angra, it cannot be stressed enough how much people suck at this game, a while back I was running MSQ Roulette with an FC buddy who uses ACT for his own benefit, me Tanking and him Healing, and he showed me the log after... I was dealing as much damage as both DPS combined, as a level 50 WAR, where the extent of my damage dealing is my 1-2-3 combo, Inner Beast every so often, and 3 guaranteed crits hits every minute, Gaius got to 76% on his LB sequence for crying out loud...

    The adds inside Cerberus' belly need to be tanked, or there needs to be at least one on-point healer or the DPS might find themselves... digested. There are also at least a couple of players who forget, or don't know they need to be minimized before stepping into the gastric fluid. Always a hoot. Cloud of Darkness used to one-shot players with her particle beam with the exception of tanks, and I wish that was still a thing.

    But yeah, WoD is a good example of how alliance raids should be at the very least in terms of difficulty and time to clear. If the devs got the first two on par with WoD, ilv cheesing goes out the door.

    The one I see trip people up the most are the tethered circles. They don't get out and then everyone dies. Even if on a second run someone explains to look away from Mortal Gaze, the raid just dies to the tethers again. Also ignoring the adds. It doesn't help that when there are multiple wipes, the impatient ones won't wait a second for someone like me to explain the one or two things hanging us up.

    I see people forget to mini on Cerberus all the time or everyone is so wild about going inside the belly that the adds kill the healers left outside.

    Also see raids ignore the meteors near the end of CoD fight and just wipe us all.
