Funny DDO Chat...

[SINIBYTE]

So, I'm sure you've all witnessed or participated in some funny DDO chat, in general or trade channel... So share your silliness.

Here, I'll start, from last night in advice channel (I'm paraphrasing a little):

Player 1: "Whats a good rare character class / race combo that's needed but not played that often?"
Player 2: "A cleric that heals..."

[Arianrhod]

Bah, clerics that heal are a dime a dozen. Now barbarians that realize they're taking damage (and getting healed), that's another story

These days it's casters that haste.

I had a wiz in Tempest Spine on Cannith who pulled a 3 clicky of haste.

(Party)Wizard: Cool, haste x3/rest necklace!!
(Party)Me: Cool, now you can save me 3 haste pots per shrine, this run was getting expensive on haste pots, I didn't stock up because there were 2 wizards and a sorc in party....
(Party): .................

[Deusxmachina]

These days it's casters that haste.

Hah! There was a wiz guy who had in his bio how he'll only buff you if he thinks you need it, etc. Which is fine, but then getting even a simple Haste was pretty rough.

And then there was the doing a raid on elite.
Wiz: "Rogue, I suppose you want GH?"
Rogue: "I probably don't Need it, and I have Heroism, but since this is an elite raid, and no one is going further if I don't get these traps, and I'm the only trap person in the group, an extra +2 wouldn't hurt."
Wiz: "Ok, I guess...."


Here's one from a VON raid, and a lesson to be learned:
Sorcerer: "Ok, I have the voice."
Sorcerer: "I'll jump to the lever."
(sorcerer dies.)
Sorcerer: "****! I had a lag spike or something! I'm in the lava!"
(he runs to the shore and catches a rez from the cleric.)
Sorcerer: "Hmm, I guess when I died, the voice stayed in the lava."
(sounds of 11 other people sighing.)
(group sends the guy with the most hp into the lava and has five people healing him while he's in it.)
HP guy: "Ok, I got the voice, and I'm out of the lava."
sorcerer: "Great! Pass the voice back to me. Sorry about that, guys."
(a few minutes later, the sorcerer dies...)
sorcerer: "****! I'm in the lava! I'm way down there!"
group: "It's probably easier just to recall and start over this time."
(half the group quits without a word.)


Fighting golems, I think in a raid:
Person 1: "What the...!? Who keeps casting lightning bolt! Stop! It's healing the golems!"
(lightning bolt! lightning bolt! lightning bolt!)
Person 1: "Stop Casting Lightning Bolts!"
(party wins anyway.)
(a few minutes later...)
Person 2: "Sorry, guys, I had to go move my car, so I told my wife to play for me. She said what should I do, and I said if there's a fight, just start casting some damage spells."


Level 10s+ in a lower-level quest with no cleric:
Me: "Ok, let's heal up quick and move on."
(Everyone else just stands there.)
Me: "So... none of you have any kind of wands or potions to heal yourselves?"
Everyone: "No."

I guess that one's more sad than funny.
