HoX: The PUG Gods cursed me

[AltheaSteelrain]

It's a technique and knowledge over power raid...

Thanks for the breakdown of the HoX, I learned something from this.

Some additional comments though:

1. It is rare for me to send someone to get the 4th stone; when this happens, its usually I sense the middle team is in danger and I naturally assume that I will be needed there to heal/buff and save the raid. But usually I get all stones before proceeding.

2. I will probably try to haste before I sing, or maybe haste + stoneskin before songs and whatever else needed.

3. I will let the group know that killing the dogs when they broken free from charms is better and more efficient than tanking them; prolly just within Guildies since we'll be almost at raid strength (horaay for more members!!!!~ )

no you didnt mention that, Well that probly one your bigest problems right there, get a mic!

No one takes the TYPEing leader very seriously and they 100x easy to ignore over the guy that going

"ARE you always this incompitent or today just a special day for you?" over voice chat to realy grab there attention.

Probably. I guess I haven't adjusted yet on a MMORPG that is primarily voice over keyboard. Usually MMO's in SE Asia are still a keyboard based communication system and I learned to type fast and concise through this.

I think its time to level up... LOL

Agreed! tell them pujjers who big daddy is and your not takeing no BS from some tree huggin hippy sissy that starts to cry when a bit of testostrone gets slung there way. In this group there only one way of doing things and that way is my way or you can take that poor of excuse gimp of yours back down the street with its thumb in the air looking for next free ride down pujjer highway.

LOL!~

Thanks guys for the insights >

Will do better next time!

Don't PUG failable raids during American long weekends. It's that simple.

The number of terrible players that log on during those weekends is incredible.

As a corollary, don't PUG epics during the Mabar event + American long weekend. You may end up with people who are quietly new to epics getting one token for their upgrade; longest Big Top I've ever done.

Sorry big daddies you'll have to go back to the kitchen for this run, momma bear is running the show and she WILL show you who's boss if you get all uppity like.

just to point out:

the beholders spawning in no way mean a wipe, even if they uncharm the puppies. This even includes the second wave of big daddy beholders.

granted from the looks of it, alot of these groups from these PuG horror stories beholders = dead just about sumz it up then.

Yeah, but as i said Xyzzy had lost only about 25% of health or maybe less when the big Beholders came out (so she was at about 75% health) and you have to actually kill her to win the raid, right? So i supposed that they hadn't buffed the puppies well, cause the stones where gathered fast and the puppies where charmed quickly... And i asked if this assumption is wrong or right.*

I also asked something about me (melee) charming a puppy when the mess had started (see my post above if u care to explain if i did something wrong)..

(*)I'm not saying this is the only thing that went wrong, but i think it was the major fail-factor
