If you are in some type of MMO raid and either don't pay attention to fight mechanics, position yourself wrong or pull agro, that is not the healers fault.

[Jeremiah12LGeek]

My favourite is when the Tank doesn't bother to draw aggro, and the healer gets swarmed. Gotta love it when the healer gets the blame for not being good enough to tank and heal everyone at the same time!

[Kapsejs]

Whaat, you mean that the healer can't be held accountable for all their teammates' deaths? And that bringing a healer doesn't ensure an automatic win?

 

But... but... they're magic!

L.A.G. Dropped into Zone 2 of the castle. Storm dragon. lolroutine. So, I figure I'll help these guys get a dragon in their notches for the chest and get me one as well. But, we were this close -->.<--- to rubberbanding, we were lagging so bad. I just kept thinking, "OMG WHY are you hosting?" But, the lag actually helped us with the ads in Zone 3. So, we all run up to the gong... apparently, no one has a call. But, me.   I ring the dinner bell and we somehow make it through Zone 4. Nobody uses the trebuchets. But, me.

 

We kill the mighty beast... which stays alive about 15 seconds after we'd killed it. Longest game ever.

I'm new to MMORPG's but my friend explained it thusly: if the tank dies, it's the healer's fault. if the healer dies, it's the tank's fault. if the dps dies, it's their own damned fault.  The tank and the healer are responsible for each other, the dps is on their own.  

 

That said, I don't know why they always want me to tank, it's very anxiety-provoking, especially when things won't hate on me no matter how much aggro I throw at them.  Somehow, the AI must know how much I suck and just disregards me as a threat lol

my last pug I had no UI overlay on the screen, I could do skill attacks but I couldn't see the icons, I couldn't do normal attacks and after 10 seconds all sound disappeared, the worst part about it was I couldn't quit the game because esc didn't work either ....

 

still we somehow survived the last 3 rounds of the castle despite my toon being totally bugged out /

That was how it was originally explained to me, as well. I don't think that's the case all of the time, but if you have 4 decent players, there is definitely some truth to it.

 

As long as everyone is competent enough to do their basic role, a healer's death can often be attributed to a lapse in concentration by the Tank, and vice versa. Most of the time, the explanation is probably circumstantial, rather than a simple "blame X for Y," but I confess that my lapses in concentration as a healer can have pretty devastating consequences. More so than if the DPS has such a lapse.

 

The most common examples would when things are generally going very smoothly. What will happen if most of the trash mobs barely cut into the team's health, is that I'll get lulled into a situation where I only really glance at people's health bars once when we first engage something, and then I'll start using tactical powers instead of healing ones (CC'ing ranged mooks, offensive attacks against enemy healers, etc...) At times, if I get too lax, someone will take significant damage before I notice, and that's when things can go from smooth to dicey really quick.

 

But, at least in my experience so far, the vast majority of the time that things go south in a 4 person team where I'm the healer, it isn't because of something that I did, or didn't do.

Tell your friends I love them. That maxim is the corner stone of role based MMOGs

 

On topic;

 

I took my Templar into her first perilous dragon run, and managed to extract against the frost dragon.

Then I went a trip with ZITHER! and got another extract, and Greatsword of the Dragon as a reward.

 

It looks horrible, but the stats are very nice

 

Good groups both of them, which was nice since it was a random PUG.

[Kungsarme]

Brought my elementalist to perilous at 12 like I normally do (I accidentally promoted him selecting a character this morning, Lately I like getting everyone to 20 then promote everything). Tevinter it was. Lvl 15 avvar and 2 others that I don't remember. The match was pretty much the 3 of us watching the Avvar run school on anything that decided to look at him. His health hardly ever moved, nothing lasted more than a moment or so in his presence. End of the match he had a solid bar of gold medals. B something or other 1983 I think on ps4. Few matches later I dinged 20 and moved on. Was awesome to see.

I had a similar run in with sonofbarak (hes posted on here a handful of times) landed in a pug with him and proceeded to watch him decimate everything in his path while casually chatting to someone else in the lobby. It was really funny to see.

[Kalas Magnus]

tore through more enemies with the fearless avvar. 

[Hellsteeth30]

As is always the case so often in my PUGs (9/10), the treasure rooms become the absolute most important thing in the universe.

Never mind the massive throng of enemies piling down the stairs. I'll form a valiant rearguard against the 13 million archers with my Assassin......they even do it on perilous.

When you get THAT team of randys together though.....'tis a beautiful thing indeed.

My last three matches were awesome. Two avvar MK IIs, a Duelist and me providing a delightful musical ensemble. Shred DAT lute.

Three dragons be dead. If MP keeps improving I may even buy the game on the current gen if I feel like buying one ever.

Really need those promo stats though....good lord.

[Kalas Magnus]

a troll fire dragon wiped out my team as soon as we started the game. lol

Yeah, that's the start of a bad day right there. Usually a storm dragon that does it to me though.

[Beerfish]

Beerfish Avarr 1 Druffy 0!  Reverse fist pump!....Wait....Druffy has friends on the DAMP team.

 

Played a solo threat with my avarr, not intentional solo, just no one joined.  Druffy is hiding behind some bushes in the 1st encounter and charges at the same time the venatori do.  I go for a Druffy special skid ride but manage to survive and beat the foul mangy beast.  Keep playing but wait, the chest i just opened gave me no gold or item...next pot, no money,  I look at the player list, there is no one in the list, not even me.  Everything else in the game is as normal.  Play through to wave 5 and die on the extraction wave, Avarr are close to reavers for me, awesome sauce waves 1-4 get killed quick on final round. 

 

Game ends, skips a scoreboard and sends me to the player screen, no exp, no gold, thank you come again!

[yarpenthemad21]

threatening, castle map

virtuoso, duelist and ele, all on 20 level.
I don't have any clue what they was doing there on this level. Joined as 1 level AW. 2nd on scoreboard...

[SofaJockey]

Just because I've primed both Trebuchets is no reason to just go over and fire them,

when the Dragon is flying around and in a completely different direction. 

 

And when the Dragon is sitting atop a tower opposite the primed Trebuchet

you are standing right next to, don't make me run all the way across the tower to not quite make it in time   

 

(give me strength...  )

[Kinom001]

Well, that was...interesting. The Dragon died from DOT while coming in for his last hurrah and got stuck in the wall. So it was basically the back and wings of dragon sticking half way out of the ground, flapping. I chuckled and left. Felt bad for the host, though.

[Jpudify]

Every time I try to play a solo threatening game there's always a giant/druffalo/rhino as soon as I open the door -.-

 

BIOOOWARREEEEEEEE!

[Ghost Of N7_SP3CTR3]

CTD!

[TormDK]

Had a good few perilous runs with Penguin, managed to kill a couple of dragons, so just two to go for the challenge.

 

No 1337 drops yet though, but thats fine - wouldn't want a full set that fast anyhow.

[nibyl]

2 perilous castle pugs and 2 wipes in zone 4. First time vs venatori, katari and lego go straight up the middle and die pretty quickly. Second time vs. red templars, THEY DO IT AGAIN! I tried to signal "come here" in the right-side balcony but too late, everyone's dead and the leader ragequit.

 

These were players some promotions too, I think both are above 50 in the ps3 leaderboard. Just goes to show that position > promotion.

I have been so impressed while ZITHER!ing when Katari (or any melee, but it's mostly Katari for some reason? Can't complain, love being a group with one) get on the mic and say 'Oh hey, you're buffing, etc. I'll just guard you.' And they stick close and wreck whatever comes near me instead of charging off and getting dead in a hurry. So we can stay in cover, LoS, the whole shebang. Spawns get dead, the party stays alive, I have a full mana bar, and everything's coming up roses.

I have been equally horrified when not ZITHER!ing and everyone wants to charge up the stairs and they can't even Neo. Time your Longshots, camp the upper spawn balcony, do something other than stand in the middle of the staircase and become a pincushion.

 

Never have I been so tempted to stand in a corner and spam f4.

[ALTBOULI]

Fantastic - Played the Avvar with Sieges end on Perilous and didn't go down once thanks to the 2 Virtuoso's spamming me with shields. But the frame-rate....
