hey naihcul was taht on garona and was that guy a male dwarf hunter cause if he was i think that was my business you stock your nose in

this is why alliance never win anything they dont thiink

I was running ZF on my hunter, just helping a friend out (she was running a mage). In the middle of a pretty good sized pull the healer aggroed a pat and went down. Everyone else seemed to panic. The tank and the other dps went down pretty quick. It was my friend and I against 6 elite mobs. I let my pet tank them and run around the room trying to avoid damage while I picked them off one by one. With 4 left my friend went down. I was just about feign and be done with it when she whispered me telling me to wipe because there was no way I was going to kill them. I threw yet another heal onto my pet, and another trap down. I was determined to take them out now. I took out 2 more solo and was forced to use Aspect of the Viper already. My pet went down with two to go. I dropped a trap to freeze one of them whilw I kited th other. Just as the trap broke I killed the first. I then hit the last guy with a Concussive shot, switched to Aspect of the Hawk and wailed on him for everything I was worth. Being BM spec, I was worth much ithout my pet. But I was able to kite the last as well. He died to a Raptor Strike, the only melee attack I did in the entire battle.

I have a few of these stories, but the best one is when I was fighting Thad in Naxx and we brought a noob to raiding, lvl 80 to get him some gear. We made him stay out for this fight because after explaining it to him alot he still didnt get it. I don't know how it is a rather simple fight. anyways what happened is when We were about 2/3 the way through he jumped in from the side lines thinking he got the fight. Well he was wrong after crossing debuffs a few times we were all about dead. At this point the boss is at 5% health but our dps is gone and we have 1 tank and 2 heals and me and him as dps.
The boss hits 2%health, and our noob guildy ret pally crosses again killing the tank him and 1 healer. The healer gets targeted throws me a Power word:shield, and goes down. Thad Has 18k health at this point, so everyone on vent is screaming, lmao. I used vampiric blood, Rune tap, 2 Deathstrikes, Death coil, and another Death coil. I killed Thad just in the nic of time I was realy close to dead but still pulled it off. Everyone in my guild still talks about that as one of the best fights. Right after I killed him I threw up a Grr, 3 ROFLMFAO, and a train.

there hasnt been a new anything on this site for 3 days. PL famine. :(

good post its the OH SHIT moments that make this game so good :)

well I have one, I was grinding for emblems of heroism and I ended up in a pug for the heroic old kingdom:
druid healer
mage and palladin dps
me death knight dps
palladin tank
we fought our way through pretty easily up until we got to the twilight guys and their elementals where we died a few times, after that we decided to go straight for Jedoga Shadowseeker. everyone knew the fight so we thought, we can do this easy. the fight starts and we do well until the first volunteer comes, some one doesn't attack so boss gets her buff and we lose the two dps but me, and I ghoul one of them up, we go through that several times, with the pally I ghouled up dying after the next volunteer. our mage actualy released and ran back to the boss but died upon reaching us because he was hit by all the boss's aoe attacks. after the third volunteer I died too. the druid remembered his combat rez finally and brought me up, but with only a tank and one dps on the boss, we couldn't get her down before like another two or three volunteers. We were so lucky, but I wised I could say I had tanked or healed that fight instead.

most of my "war stories" involve some PvP action one of my proudest was when i was on a DK i had made outta sheer boredom....it was on a PvP realm and like many i am always hungry for some horde blood given the oppurtunity so if i saw some unknowing horde i would attack them....

One particular paladin was not to pleased about me thoroughly owning her and got some friends to chase me around the group consisted of a 61 DK, her (a 60 holy pally), and a 70+ (skull level but in Merc equip but definately not above 75 i assume 72) first i thought meh i'll kill her again and just corpse run for a bit...but then an idea struck me i began to fight-walk to The temple of Telhamat dieing only once over the short distance...immediately some guards jumped into the fray doing some dmg but not lasting long enough against the hunter who continued chasing me....with some quick thinking (and some luck) i got close enough to the flight master that a multi shot had hit him summoning those (never prettier) hippogryphs who the hunter "tanked" while his pet (core hound) held off the flight master....obviously this was not a challenge but i had an advantage i was blood specced....this meant i had Mark of Blood which i slapped onto the Flight master and began to hack away at the pet as best i could....the pet didn't last very long so we (FM and I) started on the hunter killing not only him but the other DK who wondered a bit to close this continued for about an hour as a back and forth until eventually there were less and less guards to assist me....and the fact i saw an 80 BE pally fly by didn't help

Although i didn't win the entire time the whole thing made me feel good just because a little quick thinking and use of regular NPC mechanics allowed me to give 3 horde a run for their money it just goes to show ya there IS some though you need to put into WoW

ok i wasnt gonna post this, but seeing a lack of hunter pride i have to enlighten you all to this little gem of a story, so here goes........ back when i hit 76 i started the sordid tale of loque'nahak spawn camping, ill spare you the details safe to say taht like almost every other story you have ever read, i was making a pass before logging and BAM!!! there he is, in my sleep induced noobocity i forgot i was on my flying mount and dismounted only to land and find a horde hunter attempting to tame my new pet, being as how i really wanted that pet (i had been camping him for about a month at this time) i again forget about the rules of battle and just start firing off arrows into this tauren with full life ( remember i had just fallen victim to gravity from a flying mount, and had only 50% hp at the most) of course since he was smart and tagged loque first i had to either kill him ot smash my keybard when he finished taming, so i blew every cooldown i had and battle/guardian elixirs, and proceeded to revoke his taming priviledges, unfortunately he brought a friend, who was afk up until the end, the tauren goes down, and i lay my freeze trap down just in time to catch a warrior charge, which makes him trigger the trap and, thanks to my rotation being nearly perfect i kited him til dead (where the hunter was at this time is unknown), once again i lay down a freeze trap and begin taming (10% life, screw healing this cat is gonna be mine) by the grace of illidan just as i finish taming and before i can raise my dorito stained fist in a solo victory salute i see the hunter get back up, so just to add insult to injury i send in MY loque'nahak blow bestial wrath, and watch as he gets soloed by the kitty (laughing the whole time, he tried to snare me cat) anyway i got the cat, and 3 HK's all with under 10% life when it was all said and done. and everytiem i go through scholazar basin, im on the lookout for hordies, moreso than ever

One of my Favorite PvP times was Vanilla WoW, and I helped defend Sentinel Hill against a level 60 Warrior and some lower leveled friends of his on my level 56 Mage. I beat him and his friends back a few times, and eventually he rez'ed after his PvP Flag dropped (PvE Server) and we Duel'd, and I felt so good about handing his arse to him in my mostly green and some blue gear.

Another Epic Vanilla WoW experience was with my Wife on our Shaman Orcs. She was Elemental, I was Enhance. We were doing a quest where you had to kill the elite dwarves in the South East of Hillsbrad Foothills, back when Elites were pretty tough. We had setup our Totems and started blasting away, when we ended up pulling 3 of em (Oh noes!), and basically what seemed to happen was we'd kill 1 and 2 more would respawn and aggro on us. We spent a few minutes in just pure battle, low on mana for most of the fight, and just chewing through whatever we could. We manged to stay alive through it all and get more then enough kills in before we finally got out of combat.

Just recently I was doing Halls of Stone. I was playing another Shaman (Elemental) with a Druid Healer, DK Tank, and the other DPS was Shadow Priest and Ret Paladin. I was on the top of my game too, and having fun knocking the charge stun golems back to the tank with Thunderstorm.

However, during a trash pull I notice that the tank dies and I got all the aggro. I ended up healing, tanking and still doing decent DPS while I kiting (Earthbind 5 second root FTW) and nuking. We find out later that the Healer got DC'd. O.o

Then we get to Sjonnir. We're all setup and ready, and start the fight doing okay. We get Sjonnir down to 50% when the tank goes down again. Uh-oh, this is a boss fight, not your typical Trash, and it's Heroic difficulty, hosed right? Maybe not, I got the aggro from Sjonnir, but notice I'm catching heals this time, okay, not so bad, but I can't kite Sjonnir, immune to Earthbind and Thunderstorm knockback, totally hosed. I'm doing my best, throwing off my instant casts, (Gnomish Lightning Generator, Elemental Mastery, Fire Shock) but I'm unable to kite this guy, and he's going to 1 shot me, but I'm determined to knock him as far down as possible.

However, I did have one trick up my sleeve to buy me a few seconds, Nitro Boots! I bolt off and get out a Chain Lightning (double!) and Lava Burst before Sjonnir catches up to me again. At this point we had him down to 10%, and he crits me for 13k (I only had 16k health buffed and was already hurting) and it was game over for me. But the other 2 DPS and healer managed to take off that last 10%. Again, we find out that the healer had DC'd, and must of come back in right around the time the tank dropped.

One of the things that helped though was I dropped my Earth Elemental Totem next to the Healer to grab the adds off of him. I noticed the Earth Elemental died right before I grabbed aggro, so I'm guessing it pulled Sjonnir after the tank dropped, giving DPS enough time time to do even more damage and the healer enough time to reconnect.

Overall though, it was a great group, and we never wiped (tank was great at grabbing aggro, and healer, when connected was great.)

I'm really enjoying Elemental Shaman, for PvE, I prefer no other. I also got to save a party wipe on Hadronox when the healer died in the poison cloud warning other people not to stand in the poison cloud, and I took over as healer. However, oddly enough, when I go group healer though, I pretty much suck... which might just be my luck and bad groups... I'm not sure.

damn bllight dude and you say i have allot of time on my hands

I remember once, back pre-TBC in the old AV. We (Alliance) had released the Forest Lord and the Horde had released the Ice Lord. There was chaos, most of the people fighting around the Stoneheart bunker. The Alliance people who got ressed at the bridge just kept running back, this lasted for a little while.

So, at one point, my guildies and I (we were about 20 people) decided to kill the Ice Lord, who by now was inside the Stormpike base, tearing up stuff. It was a long fight, and when he got to about 20% there was just me and the tank left (me being a healing-specced priest and him being a feral-dps specced guy with loads of PvP gear). Everybody assumed we had wiped on him, so they just went back to fighting the Horde instead. But we got him down, I popped two mana potions just for that :)

Last night in heroic Naxx we were fighting 4HM. Thane n the baron go down np. because of a mix up at the lady almost the whole raid dies and only 2 tanks n 3 healers r up. they take down the lady n have sir whatshisname at 50%. after like 5 mins of nail biting they kill her. Was awesome to see how they worked the debuffs out. /cheers /applauds went out numerously.

lol, on my DK i get insane amounts of mobs on me for fun, if im in blood spec. its just too easy. zerg a couple kills, heal, zerg a couple more, heal

it goes on like that till they all die XD

Hmm, great momemt of survival...

Had to be the time we decided to run a Heroic Nexus for the first time with an inexperienced tank, a priest with a death wish, a pure Shadow Priest, a Ret Pally with some knowledge of the instance, and me (BM Hunter at the time).

Every mob we pulled ended in a death of our main healer until she was full on in the red when we finally ended the run.

So the fight was on Grand Magus Telestra, you know, the annoying elf that splits into 3 magic aspects into the fight. Everything had started well, agro evenly split between the tank, the Pally, and my cat Light (she can hold her own against any mob easily).

Suddenly the Pally dies. The SP and I open up on his target to burn it down, then switch back to Light's target. The main healer dies and the SP does the best she can to hold the rest of us up. Light get's feared and the main tank starts getting pounded on. I open up with everything I have, short of burning through trinkets, to help him out. One aspect dies shortly before she reintegrates.

Telestra is at 35% and the tank dies. I turn on growl and sic Light on her as the SP and I launch everything we have left.

25% and Light gets feared. I gain agro to save my only heals for attacks. As Light comes back, I get polymorphed. The SP does her damnedest to keep my cat alive.

10% and the SP dies. Oh crap!!

5% and Light is at 50% health. I cast distracting shot to gain agro to let Light heal a bit. When I reach 50% Light is back to 100% so I FD to give her agro.

2% and Light dies. I am on my own! The rest of my group has not made it back to me yet. Where the hell are they?!?!?!

1% and I have 45% health left.

And finally she dies with me at 15%.

My comment in chat at that point: "You just realized that a BM Hunter just took down the last 10% of a Heroic mode boss on her own?"

Laughter ensued as I needed to be put on a ventilator to calm my racing heart.

I've had a few close calls myself but most of the time i trigger them on purpose out of curiosity or sheer boredom.

I was playing my shaman, elemental spec'd lvl 64 at the time, just doing a few quests in nagrand trying to get a nice little blue mace. I was over by the nagas just killing on at a time going 1-3-2-4, when i saw it, 2 mages,a slaver,and a group of 2 slaves.

so i threw down my totems, replacing my stoneskin totem with earthbind and gave em a good old chain lightning and a few lightning bolts. of course they reached me in no time, I popped my frostshock on the slaver and kited all the slaves (4 in all bringing the total mobs to 7) through my earthbind totem and they all ended up getting the proc from the talent in ele that stops them completely for about 5 seconds so i take that time to spam some shocks and lightning and ended up killing 3 of them and in that time the mages were starting to get to me and the slaver had caught up so i ran through the slave and slaver to the mages BAM thunderstorm, kills the slave and slaver and send the mages flying interrupting some spells, i throw myself a heal and spam my lightning at them untill they fall down.

One of my most disappointing solo attempts was when I was trying to do the quest Natural Remedies in Hellfire Peninsula at level 61... because, holy crap did I want those caster mail gloves! :D

No one apparently groups for this quest anymore, so I figured what the heck. My equipment was pretty weak overall though, and that's what worried me.

I didn't do any significant clearing of the area, just 1 giant that interrupted me while I was trying to do the cleansing. I had trouble before with these stupid elementals because I just couldn't kite them as they would leash back (apparently people were kiting them to guards and I dunno Blizzard got all panties in a bunch about it.)

So, I summon the guy trying to remember if he had the same, knocks off shardlings that attack you that the other Colossi had, when I was reminded of another ability he had, knockback. So, I'm doing okay, the fight isn't going to badly, basically, I cast my DPS, he knocks me back and I heal up, drop Earthbind to catch the shardlings and DPS again, no biggie.

Well, the lack of clearing up the area, and the knockback was making things interesting. So, I get knocked back at one point and aggro a Raging Colossus. Which, as long as you don't DPS the Raging Colossus isn't much of a problem, their DPS is manageable when they don't have shardlings out adding to theirs. At this point I have Goliathon down to 50% or so, and I'm definitely looking to finish the fight. Boom, another knockback into 2 other Raging Colossi. So now, there's 3 Raging Colossi on me, as well as Goliathon and his shardlings, but at this point Goliathon is around 25%, I can do this!

And this is the part that pissed me off... As Goliathon was approaching me from the second knockback he did, he leashed! Even though I had Flame Shock ticking away on him, he leashed.

He ran back and reset to full health, unbelievable! After he reset, I ran out of aggro and rested to full health and mana, snuck my way past the Colossi again, and tried to fight him again, but each time, he would reset after running to me from the knockback he did. :(

So, basically, Blizzard made Goliathon leash so people couldn't kite him to guards, and a short leash too (I think maybe 50 yards) but didn't remove the 30 yard knockback he did. So, basically, after two knockbacks, you were out of his leash range. >.<

It would of been pretty epic though to have killed him with all the other aggro I got.
