Why do you fail at Hashmal?

[Sieben79]

I haven't been in a raid that has wiped on Hashmul in a while... But if you want an actual reason, I will have to say: shitty healers who ignore the other alliances. I actively heal and/or rez people in other alliances. Alliances don't generally all die at once. It's a DPS then a healer and everyone else fails from there. Hashmul has enough mechanics that are easy to get killed on for a variety of reasons (from being crappy to having lag.) We are alliances, not armies of 8 people. We're supposed to be supporting each other. Often times, I'll support other alliances and they'll have no issues but when that support isn't reciprocated, our alliance often dies. If one alliance is dead, and you're a healer in another that's alive and well, then you take a share of the blame on yourself. If one alliance actually has to ask another to rev one of the healers (especially when the whole alliance is dead), then congrats: you're a shitty alliance healer.

I resurrect other alliance healers only if either my group is doing fine, swiftcast is ready or it's totally safe to hard cast. It's no good for you to ignore the next mechanic for a res because you can die to it or the hard res gonna be interrupted. In between your party can also die, you have to wait for the right moment. If you're dead, be patient

Hmm, for Hashmal: like many mentioned before it's safe to stand near him while he does his Tower Control, because after this he'll jump away for his ?Jagged Edge?. Or you stand on the middle line, so he can only spawn ahead or behind you. The mistake that many does is standing near the edge of the half moon arena, so if their unlucky they won't do it (even with sprint) in time. Here is a picture:

Arena look kind of this



The brown area is the ornament ground color. The black dot is Hashmal, the yellow are the towers. After he jumps away, he appears either A or B, so if you're standing near the middle or at least in the brown area you'll have plently of time to react for his dive. The players at the northern and southern edge at the halfmoon area have a 50/50 chance they'll survive.

You also don't have to run too the edge on the opposite. It often looks like this picture:



So now you can imagine what happend if some players get the purple or the other AOE's and running all at the same direction
