Cleric, haste and Shroud

[twigzz]

Yeah so doing Shroud this morning, I was last in group. We go into part 1 and do the typical stuff. The cleric is asking for haste and bard cast haste on group(after bard said he just cast it at last portal). Well cleric is still asking for haste, the wiz casts haste on group. Cleric is STILL asking haste, wiz pipes up and says "shut up, I personally cast haste on you last time, take off boots?". Cleric says have fun and drops group....

I send tell to the cleric after he/she drops.

Me: thats cold man
Cleric: He told me to shut up!
Me: So you screw the whole party over because of 1 person telling you to shut up?
Cleric: that group was noobs and was insulting before entering<--- maybe this happened before I joined? Notta clue, party was quite quiet the whole run.

Yeah ok, welcome to my friends list....

O yeah, had 2 DC's before part 4(1 came back) and Twigg still solo'd healed with no pots.

Shove your heals pal! Bad form IMO. If 1 guy ****ed you off, then don't heal THAT guy! lol

O yeah and Happy B-day to me! Please send presents to Sheanto!

[Aeolwind]

Lol, name? Pm of course

[vrobel]

PM name pls =)

[Cairo]

PM me the name as well, please.

[Llewndyn]

PM me a haste, plz

[Zeruell]

I'd appreciate a PM as well, please -- if only to know who's paranoid about being banished in Shroud.

[nolaureltree000]

sounds like you PUGed a shroud run TS.

[jwdaniels]

Please PM me the name of this cleric, please. I'd love to know if it was the same cleric that "had to go for 15 minutes" in the shroud I ended up solo-healing the other night.

[mws2970]

I'll take a PM with super-sized fries please, and a Diet Coke to wash away the calories!

What they said.

Edit: We had a FvS drop a party I was in the other day after we died in Part 4 (I didn't know these happened anymore).

Parts 1-3, he didn't heal at all. Kept taking a year at Shrines/Chests, and wouldn't port through until all the work was already done.

Part 4, Died in blades. Twice. Yes, twice in Part 4. I mentioned it, guy says over mic "Yeah, well, I wasn't trying to. I didn't run to the blades, blades ran to me!" I comment that the Cleric in the party lived just fine. He gave some smart comment, I give one back (mine was "get more than 300 hp"), he leaves party and drops group.

I really need to start screenshotting names.

I was in that group - I was the cleric that didn't die. I'm pretty sure I have him on my special friends list, so I can PM you the name later on if you'd like.

Oh yeah hey, you were. OHAI!

Yeah, please? I should start writing this stuff down...

I was the leader of that shroud... haven't laughed so much or had such a fun run in a while...
I was on my figher. at some point had 3 healers. then two casters join, then some random melee (monks, palis, etc. no ftr or barbs other than me). then I get two wizs hit the lfm. I don't care, I'll run it with 6 casters, so I accept. fvs drops group. the two new casters drop group. one melee drops group (all saying we'll wipe). then some more random people join. then rogue DC's. we wait 5 min, and go in. then the above happens.

(interlude - I checked with the remaining healer if was ok to continue. he told me he had no pots, so gave him 3)

at this point we're 10. portals go down without a hitch. part 2 goes smoothly. part 3 is quick enough. ranger DCs. we go into part 4 with 9, and one of the wiz drops (lol), then pali dies in 5 sec flat, monk halfway through first round.

Harry was at 20% at the end of the first round. 1 cleric, 1 wiz, 1.5 melee in penalty box, and all of 4.5 (I am counting the monk as half, as he survived half the round...) beating on Harry. ranger came back for part 5 and we completed with no more issues.

Oh! the good times.

Oh, yeah. some quotes:
- "this party will wipe"
- me: "guys, this raid is easy"
pug: "it's easy with the right party makeup"
- "we need more dps. get barbs"
- "shut up, I personally cast haste on you last time, take off boots?" (btw, that's the wiz that dropped before part 4)
- me: "and then there were 9"

And finally. I'd like to conclude with the following.
To everyone that plays on Sarlona. please be advised. Shroud is a tough raid. you have to come prepared even for a normal run. be prepared to chug some pots, and use resources. YOU MUST have a good, balanced party. If you see a noob leader that has accepted more than 2 healers (or less, for that matter), or more than 1 caster (or less, for that matter). PLEASE DO NOT join this shroud. YOU WILL WIPE. So when you see my lfm, headed by Cornth, Corrnth, Cornthia, Kornth, or anything similar, PLEASE - stay away.

regards,
Cornth

This is why I like it when we run guild Shrouds.

We had a part 4 one-rounder that consisted of two healers, three arcanes, and.. three bards, I think? Quick and simple completion.

Next run, we'll pug in 1 or 2 slots, and we end up showing people their first one-rounder ever. They're all amazed. Its better than sliced bread to them. Pugs are just.... bad right now.

[jwdaniels]

Agreed - I've seen shrouds fails in the last few weeks that I didn't even know were possible, highlighted by a failure in part 5... yes, part 5. The group was able to take down Harry in part 4 without a hitch, but somehow in part 5 it was like everyone decided to see what they could do with the Club of the Holy Flame. It's been quite an adventure.

Yeah, tell me about it. There was a brief period where things looked up. I was having one rounders, and even shrouds where the blades never touched us in PUGS. then things seemed to have taken a sharp turn to ****town (checking the censor engine here...). I've had some bad pugs lately. I seem to do best when I put up my own 15-20 shrouds and take whoever hits the lfm. I think the 15-20 scares those who think only level 20s can do it...

[TheDearLeader]

I've had to go through more process than a **** job interview when I was trying to get my level 17 TR Fighter into a Shroud. Was ridiculous.

[Darkrok]

Yet another PM request here.

[Aeolwind]

Most of my recent runs on my fighter or bard have been 1 rounders, actually had a straight up, didn't vet anyone 1 round on my cleric the other night too.

I'm chicken though, I keep my LFG's 17-20.

Sorry man, I call BS. I've solo healed shroud a couple times & while I try to avoid it, if someone has the schutzpa to send me a tell and ask if I have room for another arcane I'll take'em.

Yeah, stuff can go sideways, but it happens just as often in balanced as unbalanced.
