WoD "Pro Tactics"

[StouterTaru]

Doing a WoD run yesterday, had a tank decide to use "pro tactics" on the first boss, floating eyeball.

He snagged the boss as everyone arrived, and pulled it to the wall. After the first fire/water floor move, he turned it 180 degrees. This lead to several people getting shot with the cannon move, which is more than half the HP of your average caster in WoD. He also pulled to the middle of a quadrant for the spinning finger, which led to a couple more issues. First, facing away from the wall the cannon shot went through 2 of the 4 clocks. Second, when the finger stopped on his quadrant, he had to move dramatically to reposition.

First try, another tank voked and ran it to the center, causing more confusion and a quick wipe. Second try, healers got blown up by cannons quick and another wipe.

In short "pro tactics" has some serious issues:

• If you are doing something different than people are used to, explain it to them first
• Trading convenience on a weak mechanic to make other mechanics more difficult is not good

ps - different run, but drg elusive jump from the level death/flare moves then chasing people trying to get away is funny as hell

Sounds to me like he just sucked. That has to be the dumbest tactic I've ever heard of, and the first time I've ever come across it.

I like the tactic where you spin the first boss around in circles and everyone has to avoid the eye beam. It's like a whole new mechanic!

Almost as good as the one where none of the tanks want to actually tank in the fights and the boss just ping pongs between DPS and healers.

This sums up WoD.

Never even heard of that tactic. Troll tactic IMO.

...also a way to be kicked out of party without 30mins lockout x:

Oh hey look, it's like mountain buster roulette all over again!

Those are always fun, had an OT war with defiance up in a titan HM recently. The pile went to huddle up behind him right after bombs and wham, half the party dead.

Lol when the OT pulled hate just as Titan used Mountain Buster, and killed half the party, I could only laugh. Obviously not on purpose but it's still kinda funny.

Back on topic, I think the best WoD tactic it to just have all the tanks fight over hate and spinning him around.
