or …. tank goes for moroes group while the rest of the raid starts banging away at the last mob …

“I never saw them”

Badly stifled laughter from rest of the raid ….

Oh, BRK. This is beautiful. This is going on my guild board. And on any other guild boards until the end of time, I think.

I’ve seen first-hand many of these wipes. And I hate to admit it, but I’ve *been* a few of them.

“This is *Moroes*. Why did you Multishot?!”
“Damned pet pulled a Fleshbeast.”
“Do *not* aggro those mobs. They are Not Your Friends!”
“I *told* you we should’ve ressed him outside Aran’s room instead of inside it.”

Fortunately my second run went better….

But for me, the best ever wipe was one I screenshotted for posterity in Mag’s lair. A PUG gathering there (yeah, yeah, I know) and we’re summoning members as we had a few others flake out. A hunter gets pulled in. Next thing we know, his pet is lunging at one of the channelers. Pet on ‘aggressive’ because of a Battleground. Very few people survived that one. I say ‘very few’ because FD *is* my friend.

Wipe #16

This is the “Hey Major Domo looks cool standing by the pool of fire I am gonna go talk to him quick.” (Pre BC)

This is usually precided and followed by the raid leader screaming in Vent “Do NOT talk to Major Domo” “Who the %$#^ talked to Domo?”

Walking along the water in ZA to the Lynx boss for our first attempt and Oh, look at all the pretty non-aggressive crocs with the yellow letters above them! and why don’t we send Buster to one of them and pew-pew just to see what happens and … Holy S%^* where did they all come from!?! And the healers are dead, the other squishys are dead, tanks running back to see what can be saved and ‘Tard (Um, yeah, that’s me) standing there whackin’ a croc with his axe not looking at his health bar. Oops! Deadums.

So of course, now every time we go back someone has got to say “Hey, Zeno, don’t be a ‘Tard, leave the crocs alone.”
/sigh.
