Pro tips here:

I will use a specific example to teach you new people how to play this game. In weapon shipment DO NOT LET THE TITAN GRAB AGRO. We are not here to sit and twiddle thumbs for 4 minutes. We are here to do work, grab loot, ????, profit. That is what most vets do. We do stuff quick and efficiently (mostly quick). If there is an opportunity to do something in a longer fashion, why do it?

The pit fiend at the end of WS attacks one player. If you stand on that player, you are going to get hit as well. Stand behind the pit fiend and you will take less damage (some from fireballs). This can be used in pretty much all quests. If you do not have agro, stand on the monster's back. Whoa. It is the exact same as the titan getting agro. You take the same amount of damage. If a healer has trouble keeping 1 person up that is his problem.

If someone gets mad at you for standing there doing nothing, waiting for the titan to grab agro while someone is attacking the pit fiend already, do not get defensive. Do what the leader says. Hit him. If you stand on the player who has agro and the leader says "go behind him" don't say "that's why most groups let the titan get agro." Go behind him. Most vets don't care if you are new if you listen and don't get lippy thinking you are the ****.

A good DDO player: Minimizes the dmg he takes while maximizing the dmg he deals. If you play by this rule many people will enjoy running with you.

i always let the titan kill the fiend. but i always solo the quest and invite friends or throw up a lfm for free looting. and if the ppl are quick they even get the completion and a medicore reward.

i don't farm the quest anyway. got my bauble for quite some time. when i log in i solo one run and see if i get some ingredients.

I use the time the Titan is fighting to take the garbage out, put the kids to bed, take a bio, make myself an sandwhich and maybe check my e-mail.

Multitasking.

Gah that's a big one too. If you are not tanking, you shouldn't be taking damage. Especially not getting cursed and asking someone to remove it when you are a non-barbarian. And also standing in front of an orthon instead of behind it =.=

If you want to take an AFK there is a long time for her to summon those 4 orbs where you can go afk. That's what I do ;)

Beagles are tasty, but only if cooked just right. Fur is optional, but I usually grill mine for optimal flavor. A good baste is highly recomended. In only about 45 minutes, you can have fall off the bone ribs :)

just bring an intim and let him whale on him...


interestingly though..

Was with a group and they had fun with grease...they greased the whole area where the pit fiend and the titan would appear.

looks like the grease bugged out the titan and he never appeared..

surprise!!!

no no no no, nezi......Youth these days........:rolleyes:

When is everyone going to get it.... You use both instances for chatting, drinking lots of ale, bio's, getting food, doing the trash, etc, etc....how many other quests let you multi-task in conjunction of Real life???

I agree doing things efficiently is a vet thing, but WS - is the peverbial "union break".

Dont be busting older vets nads becasue you wanna hop off one ride to get to another - slow your role. Or are you in a race to get everything then have nothing to do? :eek:

I want my bauble, this is all.

This thread is less about AFKing (well I didn't WANT it to turn out this way... :o) during WS and more about people being afraid to take damage and those who don't know where to stand to mitigate damage ;)

I accidentally took aggro off the Titan the other day on my pally :/
Was just planning on beating from behind to speed things up. But nooooo.
And then the Titan couldn't get aggro back, even after sitting there for a good minute not attacking lol.

Actually, to pike more effectively I'd suggest going afk even after the 4 orbs. Wait for the chest opening :)

I don't know about you Ikem, but my melee's are perpetually madstoned. Extra damage for 100's of swings or potential to be cursed? For me that's an easy decision even on my healers.

i dont madstone in vod... to much can happen if something goes wrong. but i wasnt talking about curse pots or anything like that... it was late idk what i was thinking.... i think about attacking in the right spot or somethign..
