    The Most Clutch Holmgang

    Post your fun warrior stories of using holmgang in the most crucial situation.

    My most recent one was in Alex 3 today during vortex phase. I got tethered to a party member that didnt complete the polarity mechanic resulting in -30% attributes. Then I got the damage tether, quickly holmganged an add running off and swapped into defiance and used equilibrium. Was the highlight of my day.

    Titan Ex with single heal, single tank. I had 5 stacks, full health, no adlo, no stoneskin, no CDs left. Hit holmgang and went to 1 hp from the next mountain buster. I can't remember if we cleared that time.

    I have yet to figure out how to Holmgang a) in time b) not just a little too early and c) not directly into at least one (probably more like five) AOE zone.

    That said I did enjoy Shiva farming, getting targeted for pushback as MT/single-tank, and getting to stand there pressing a big ol' NOPE button labeled Holmgang. :P

    Alex A4 yesterday

    During the last seconds of the fight, boss was spamming me with Perpetual Ray (or whatever it's called) and my HP dropped to 1 twice during holmgang

    Me and 7 other people got the kill just after that ><

    I can supply you with maybe the worst?

    We went into Turn 13 one day and our normal warrior was at work, but we had an extra healer available so our Scholar went warrior. Everything was going OK until we got to about 10%-ish left in the fight and a megaflare went out. It was one of those funky tether situations where two people on the same side got it, but the DPS/heal didn't cross paths so it was still relatively easy for the tanks to coordinate. Well, our warrior ran right into the stack group to grab the tether and then started running out of the stack group, but hit Holmgang on the boss and rooted his tornado directly on top of the megaflare stack point.

    Actually now that I think about it, it was pretty damn hilarious. We asked what the hell he thought he was going to do right there and he says..."I fat fingered..."

    Lol.

    My personal favorite was against Levi EX. I was tired and on the tenth run when I accidently ran to the slam instead of away from it with the bubbles. I can't remember if I targeted the bubbles or levi, but I do remember Holmgang activated at the right time, and I sat at the ledge damn near pissing myself.

    Just reminded me of Frontlines. All the joy of charging a bard, and getting that holmgang just as they back flipped away. Was beyond enjoyable to watch them get so far, and get dragged right back at me XD
