Wipes, dreaded by all and yet it happens.

My shittiest wipe has got to be in BWL. During Razor's fight, I had the orb controller as target (suppose to pull), while waiting for raid to buff finish. When I accidentally hit my hotbar when I wanted to press 'Esc' on my keyboard, let loose an Arcane Shot and thus wiping the raid.

Another one in AQ20, the last flying group to pull before Kurinnaxx. I pulled the group too near to the boss, agro'ing the boss and thus, wiping the raid again.

I wiped my raid a few times actually. Part of because I was the main puller for most instance and I was still learning the instance (esp MC, where I underestimate the f*cking dog's agro range). But luckily I have a very damn good raid leader. On another AQ20 run he stuck up for me when one guildie said 'Eh, don't pull the boss again ar haha' by replying 'Don't worry, he won't do the same mistake twice', and which I never did. Really made me feel good after that

I learn from my mistakes.

So let rip your darkest secrets and tell us about your raid wiping stories!

I've wiped my raid a few times too. Once when trying to rez someone after a wipe at Chrommy and I aggroed Chrommy...he has a HUGE aggro radius. Then there's another time when I was on auto run in AQ20, my screen was too dark and I was answering questions in PM (I was always forced to take up the healers class lead role when the officer who's suppose to do it got drunk) and I ran straight into Moam lol. Obviously we wiped.

But I have to give the Wipe Award to one of the officers, the supposed healers class lead, who likes to come to raids drunk. She wasn't drunk at the begining of the raid, then somewhere during the suppression room, when we're near Broodlord, she ran into the middle of the room. Enough said. When we asked wtf was that she kept quiet and the officers told us that they're talking to her. So we started the Suppression Room again....and when we're near Broodlord, she bloody did it again!! It wasn't until much later that we learned she was drunk.

She's not a good healer nor a good leader (she can't even lead MC healers after she's been doing it for 1.2 years) and she likes to come in drunk but yet she's an officer. Why? Because she's a good friend of the guildmistress. There's your guild politics. :b

Hunters wiping raids? What's new j/k

Worst wipe personally, is on Loatheb. Especially after all the preparations getting world buffs; Ony, ZG, Darkmoon Faerie, and this week Halloween buff. We've only downed him 3 times so far so the world buffs are essential for us. Imagine flying around for 1hr+, handing out pots etc, then wiping in less than 5mins on the boss. Can be depressing at times

started on a new server where not many guilds were starting MC yet. my guild was one of them that started clearing. but they took so long that while fighting Garr, we had respawns.

Plain ol' gnomergan, when ppl couldn't even get a proper strat for domo back then dated April 11 =P

nvidiaFX, I know what caused that. People below lvl 30 peeked down the trench, or not hugging the wall. I know, cos it's happened to me enough times to make me hate Gnomer

haha, was so long ago. cant really remember i think someone wasnt hugging the wall, back that time hardly anyone know wat is aggro control. lots of n00bs./

Either that or one of the low health chicken walker ran and aggro'ed others

i am a hunter, u know... pets.

i cause quite a lot of wipes due to my aggro when i was like 30-45 (aggro control noobie)

my last wipe, we were in BRD(i am lv60 that time). i clicked the wrong mob far away and let my pet rush into it. result is --wipe--. (I FD so i am saved, and i am not a engineer. of course it pissed the team off )

I'm a mage and back at scholomance when I was sheeping a mob right after the Kirtonos room. I sheep the mob and it doesn't aggro, then I cast my greatest pyroblast with arcane power at the sheep and before I know it the whole group of mob from the Jandice room come up and kill us all. Until today, I still have no idea how it occured.

the only raid experience i have is ZG...no wipes but i accidently run out the gate during the snake priest fight and reset the fight........on 5man instance run that i recall is ST...i didnt sleep the whole night and its 11 in the morning...i sleep walking to the center of the circle room full of green dragon...the rest u guys should know...

ima hunter and i didnt even call out my pet inside instance...even 5man run...dont want to cause wipes coz my pet chasing one dying target...

I remember one of my ex guildie, a shaman. She's kinda forced to play WoW by her boyfriend (she'd rather paint her nails and go shopping. Sigh...the things we do for our men!). Anyway, after like one whole night without sleep, she went to this ony raid with her new guild. She was in one of the MT's group and she kept putting down a TRANQUILITY totem. Then when Ony landed during phase 3 she wasn't in position and got feared to her tail, tail swiped into the whelp cave and.....LOL. Poor her, she felt soooooooo bad because the guildies didn't scold her or screamed FEETEE DKP minus (if you don't understand this go here http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=361509
). But her boyfriend scolded her so sad.....

1. Arcane shot Vael by mistake
2. 8% on Anub when Streamyx decided to f*** up my connection.
3. FD in Frankriss (wasn't me tho)

OMG, in another alliance guild in my server, that guy went and accidentally DI the main tank when nef was at 4% XD HAHAHA serves him though, he's a jackass..

lol. he's an idiot for putting DI next to heal.

Mind you, FD doesn't always work ok Mobs seems to resist it the moment you need it the most lol..bloody hell..

=.="
Blizzard expects hunters to invest deeply into Survival tree for Improved Feign Death.

There was once when we were setting up for Gehennas...everyone grouped up infront of him...then some mage was walking to his spot and hit blink by accident, blinked straight into Gehennas, and wiped us all.

We also had a rogue wipe our raid on Vael because he ran out of flash powders during the first tank transition.

Omg this happened to us too! We were doing broodlord (f--king suppresion room ftl) and we were at the last cubicle when a mage 'misjudged' and blinked too near broodlord

The outcome wasn't too desirable so to say

rogues out of flash powders. lol. he must never check his inventory for his rogue stuff huh. especially sice now flash powder stacks more than it used to.
