How To Raid Anything

[Stealthy]

It's like watching an Olympic gold medalist do the ski jump and then trying it yourself. Forget about it

This made me lol.

Much <3 for Tankspot vids btw.

Cheers,

I would just add these two things:

Don't stand in front of any boss unless you are the tank.

If you know you are going to wipe and get aggro make sure you use your ice block/ feign death/ vanish/ bubble so you can live a few seconds longer and a less fortune class will kick it first.

LOL smooth, I always laugh when some mage IBs when we already witnessed the two tanks going down. It's like, uh dude, you ARE going do die. There is no doubt.

agreed.. best post on the interwebs.

[Ualaa]

If you know its a wipe, use your Hellfire.
That helps the repair bill.

what a raid?

Hilarious. I remember my first few times in Nax with a single toon and dying while standing in some cloud/pool of death. I vividly remember thinking, why the hell didn't I notice that and simply move out of it. Its funny how you are more of an automaton: "Hey, why didn't the raid leader tell me those black circles of smoke were going to kill me?!?!?".

think this one deserves a bump

Every once in a while I find myself sharing dialogue between my own toons in my head when they break one of these rules.

Tank: "stupid ass mage at least let me get TO the boss before you attack"
Mage1: "not my fault our keys are bound together l2 avenger's shield while running in"
Tank: "You should stand farther back this boss cleaves"
Mage1: "The heals are macro'd might as well make use of em"
Priest: "stupid mages"
*tank moves boss away*
Tank: "speaking of mages, why isn't mage2 casting"
Mage3: "He's been running into the wall over there this whole fight"
Mage2: "Sorry, my interact with target glitched again"
Priest: "stupid mages"
*I press IWT to move my idiot mage back to the boss*
*boss cleaves everyone*
*mage1 dies*
*mage3 dies*
Mage2: "HAHA, now who's doin the dps"
Priest: "stupid mages"
