A Guide To Failure... Epic Failure
Failing in World of Warcraft is a common occurrence. Perhaps you lagged and that mob got a lucky crit in before your heal/potion/Vanish/Feign Death went off. A terrible right mouse button misclick may send you plummeting to your death. Maybe your greedy self finally got burned by a Pickpocket resist. Failing isn't only a normal occurrence, but one that can come in many shapes, sizes and varieties. The most hilarious of which is failing epically. My personal definition of failing epically has a pair of possible meanings. The first is the inability to do something gimmicky, such as the numerous Super Mario Bros. type of deaths (Frogger (mobs after him), Safety Dance, Chilly Willy, etc). The second is exponentially more painful. Not only does it include yourself dieing, but you take someone with you, by accident. The idea of an accident means sitting on a hunter who popped Feign Death to save on a repair bill does not count as an epic failure. That is just endlessly hilarious and entertaining. A few examples of epic failure include Thaddius wipes, allowing people to die in Maexxna's web, allowing the tank to beat you in the DPS meter (assuming you are full DPSing), and rolling anything but a female dwarf. I am by no means perfect and have been a part of these shortcomings along with most of the WoW populace, but I personally added a new category to the topic of doing things incorrectly, Lemmings.
