Video of Harry dying in one round

[Garth_of_Sarlona]

NSR and a few friends were running the Shroud a few nights ago and we noticed we were doing quite good dps on the portals in part 1, so we decided to have a go at taking down Harry in one round. I know we're not the first, but I happened to have fraps running - so here is the result. Thanks to Tanka for the additional dps and Healemup for the healing (and comet falls!).

Guildies said I should post on the forums, so check out the video here:

It's hi-res so you might want to let it buffer a bit before playing.

p.s. it's my first video so don't be too critical

Pretty cool but that seemed like longer than 1 round to me. Or are you using a different def of a round than I am used to?

Lol, how is that NOT one round Edit: Oh, I just saw your character levels in your signature, i'm guessing you haven't been in the shroud yet. A few seconds after the boss died in this video he would flown away and you'd have to kill a bunch of trash mobs before getting him. Most good groups take him down in 2 rounds, i've seen some go to 4 or 5

Until this day, the closest i've gotten to one round was like 5/6%. We had crazy DPS, 9 Melees dual wielding on him, no bard. He was clearly going down in one round when we hit a major lag spike (think Part 1 portals where all the swinging starts to happen at a beat) and the clerics couldnt heal anymore so we had to back out

One round of part 4, as in we didn't see any gnolls. By far the worst lag I've ever seen in part 4, but it was still pretty sweet.

Edit: We had 10 in there at one point - Vaanza (the sorc) used up his SP quick and ran in to melee.

I was on the run. What Willphase means by round is Harry never ported away and we never had to fight the second round of creatures.

It may seem a bit slow since we were all lagging badly. If you'll notice, towards the end, it looks like Garth is the only one swinging. (when in truth, he can barely hit Harry without rolling a 20 lol) jk

Yeah we were getting major lag in there - you'll see that from about half way through I was only seeing my own swings - I think between the fraps client hogging the CPU/disk and the sheer amount of dps/combat-log the client just gave up the ghost. Other people in the group commented afterwards that they were only seeing their own swings.

Or... I could choose to believe I soloed Harry... hmm

EDIT: just saw BGP's post. I'll have you know I hit on a 19 too!

Bah, at least you were swinging - I tried to refresh my fireshield halfway through and couldn't due to lag :P. When I got the notification that I had died, I still had half health on my screen, but sure enough he was dead a few seconds later.

[Tanka]

Thanks for letting me come along and posting this, Garth. Great run last night! Just wish my Lightning Strike had fired off a few more times in that round. I get so giddy when it goes off.

[Borror0]

I get so giddy when it goes off.

hehe, you should see our guild runs. You got people screaming LIGHTNING STRIKE!!!! all the time it triggers.

[Tanka]

I was in a guild run a few weeks ago where it went off against one of the Lieutenants in p5 when the casters were refilling. The aggro holder (non-Intimidate build) forgot it did ~600 damage in one shot. Took him a minute to get aggro back.

[captain1z]

maybe it was lag but all I saw was 1 brave dwarf and 11 pikers.

[maddmatt70]

You should have titled this One dwarf solos Harrry in Part 4 in one round. I mean if I were in that group I would be watching the mighty dwarf twf too..

[Tanka]

It was so laggy everyone thought they were the only one doing anything. Two people dropped dead thinking they still had half their HP leftover.

Serious DPS in that group last night. I don't think I've ever seen Harry die so fast.

[captain1z]

slight derail = I was in a group that got harry to 1% of his life.............................................. .. and then wiped




in part 4

[debo]

that is pretty good...

surprised you were able to do that with so many gimps in the group

jk noobs

[KoolHand]

sure could have used a lil debo barkskin

Says the king of all Noobs.....

I'd like to say, my little sorc soloed Harry, as HE was the only one still meleeing Harry at the end....

RAWR....

Awesome run, much fun.....

speaking of noobs, anyone else check out the other video linked from that page... <tee hee>

Nice work, guys awesome job.

Been in 2 (mostly) guild runs where we have taken him down in 1 rnd. Both times we all lagged massively from 50% health - maybe Harry just doesn't like going down in 1 rnd

The first time when I could only see me swinging I just figured I was "teh Uber"
