The "holy crap I can't believe that just happened" thread

When i boosted my shamans in lbrs, 2x eye of flame dropped, in the first 30 packs.
Whats the odds? And no, nobody belives me.

Im in a similar situation with just hitting 70 and starting EOTS farming for my Gavel. The people whine that I suck and I just remind them to check the scores at the end of the match. O wait my guys are #1-5 on dmg done and hk's. I guess maybe its someone else that sucks.

My best memory was MB'ing EQ back in the day with my somewhat lamer guild.

We were second or third tier on our server and still had trouble downing Derekor the Vindicator in Kael. But, we managed to get him down one server reset and lo and behold, the Statue of Rallos Zek was up. It was a mob we were itching to try but never had the fortune of killing (he was on a 7 day spawn cycle and farmed routinely by the upper tier guilds). So since we had dibs, we decided to try him.

I was running my MB group which was Shadowknight, Shaman, Cleric, Druid, Enchanter and Rogue. We managed to kill his guards then prepared for pulling him. He came out and we started our attack. He was a mob that could be Slowed (lowering attack speed) and that made him relatively easy once you got the Slow to land. However, he was also highly magic resistant. It was part of my job to land Slow which I was able to do after a LOT of casts. After that it was tank and spank. Well, one of our clerics lagged out and the main tank died and another tank stepped up and tanked while we frantically ressed the main tank again and buffed him up. In the meantime, the Slow spell faded and the second tank died. Just in time the main tank get back onto the mob and I was frantically clicking to get slow back on. Well, I finally got it to land again, but too much aggro! The shaman went down in 2 hits, followed by a wave of deaths due to sit aggro (you could sit down to meditate during fights to regain mana faster). In a few seconds, half the raid was gone. At that point it was pure DPS. We managed to kill him and I think there were only 12 people left standing at the end, starting with a raid of 40-50 people.

Good fun!

Most of those moments I had in old EQ before the 198432957829375 expansion came out. Charm soloing with my Enchanter was the most fun I ever had, and been doing it ever since Velious. I remember when I used to hold one of the rooms in the PoP expansion by myself, and could keep it up pretty much indefinitely without dying. Having a hasted, quadding pet vs a slowed mob was just fun. honestly I almost left wow when I first started when there wasnt really an enchanter class equivalent. That's how much I loved the class. :love:

Less impressive but just as fun was when me and my druid friend would run through ALL of castle mistmoore gathering up everything we could. I would lock down like I think it was like 40 or so mobs with ae stun locks (i dont remember exactly how many, it's been literally years) while she burned them down with druid earthquakes. Was fun and exciting cuz if I got a resist or was off on my timing then we were pretty much toast with that many mobs beating on us making it hard to cast and restun

Situation:
We had just finished Baron Gheddon in a flawless victory, NO ONE blew up in the raid... I'm on my rogue and the raid/guild leader...



Sprint for the win! I made it back for some massive dps!

[Hatred]

So rescently I have been upgrading gear left and right. My 5 shaman are kicking out major dps (even though my gear still sucks) and my ego is growing bigger and bigger. Most times when I am in an AV i head right to Balinda and kill her quickly. This was the plan again. I race over to Balinda and as I run around the corner in her room Im popping Bloodlust, EM and my trinkets. HELL YEAH LETS FIGHT!!! Then BAM nuked by a chain lightning! My first toon is dead, second is hanging on by a thread and third toon at like 50%.. Holy hell what was that? Without hesitation or before I even had a chance to see what hit me I switched to my 4th toon and got my target but it was to late. My 5 toons were toast. I take a second to look to see WTF hit me like a MAC TRUCK. The 4 boxing Spice Girls Ally! Ill never forget that moment even though it was just yesterday. He and I talked in my vent and I helped him with his setup to run more smoothly... Damn nice guy even for an Ally... LOL

Until they nerfed it.

Most fun ever in a MMORPG had to be playing a Bard in EQ in the old days before it got nerfed. I used to pull about 40 mobs and circle kite them. My enchanter took absolutely forever to level grind up. The bard was making a level almost every other pull. It was such a rush though. A tiny little lag spike can wipe you. Getting your turn wrong can wipe you. You have 40 mobs chasing you, all higher level than you, and you can't go toe to toe with even 1 of them. Several minutes of intense focus and then they drop like flies and you loot.

Until they nerfed it.

I was doing the Sunken Temple with my Shaman team, at about the appropriate level for the instance (quests were still yellow). This was my first 5-man team. Everything was going very smooth. I was even surprised I could kill the big ghost-dragon on the first attempt (I was worried about how I would manage the running around to switch flames off with looted blood things).

I probably got too confident.
So I thought I would kill the two green dragons flying around in that big room next door. I walk up the corridor, set up my team in formation, drop my "long fight" totems set, wait for them to be in range, cast Lightning Chain on all for Shaman aiming the biggest bug ...

Oh shiiiiiiiit !!!... Nice clean wipe. I just wish my web-cam could sense these moments and automatically take a picture of that look on my face. Priceless.
