Don't you guys just bum rush razor arm these days though? I haven't been in a party that bothers to pull him in quite some time.

Doesn't sound like he was helping much with trash/CC though.

The upcoming changes to elite/epics should be fun.

Oh, that reminds me.

I was in a Shroud about an hour ago with some guy named Hairto. His guild was called Discordia.

Anyway, right at the beginning of the fight with Harry on Part 5, someone calls out for Deathward. Now, I've seen a LOT of people call out for Deathward on Part 5 even though Kas'quik the Mighty (the Paragon Kobold) isn't one of the mobs from Part 2. So, since I'd rather the two healers pay attention to healing instead of handing out meaningless buffs, I speak up.

I explain that Deathward doesn't help against anything Harry does and the only reason to have cast it in Part 5 is if Kas'quik is in the Shroud. I further explained that he has a Vorpal attack that DW would protect you against.

Well this guy "Hairto" speaks up and says rather sarcastically, "Well, don't you know it all." This sort of surprised me because I didn't raise my voice, call anyone a noob, didn't call anyone stupid or anything close to thos kinds of things. I thought I gave a fairly vanilla explanation as to why DW wasn't needed. So I responded to the guy simply with "Well, I have been running Shroud since it came out." He then responded with something like, "Is that supposed to impress me?" or "Is that supposed to be impressive?" or something similar. So again, without raising my voice or trying to sound condescending, I simply said "I don't care whether you're impressed or not." That was the last thing I said. We finished Part 5, the altar was hit, we got our loot, and I finished out. That was that.

It was a rather strange sequence of events. It was only the third or fourth time in over 5.5 years of playing that I experienced anything close to in-game hostility like that. Of those three or four times, this was only the second time I was involved directly. Very weird.

Caster = my cleric, sure thing. You want heals, that's where I'll be.

It's funny. I remember many party wipes at this point but these days it's so easy. Do you think it's just that we have more gear/dps/knowledge?

I still see wipes on Razor Arm and I see Razor Arm fights where the Hjealers still have 70% of their SP left when he's dead.

The biggest difference is whether most of the party runs around like a bunch of ninnies or whether the party actually has a plan and sticks to it.

I agree that he should be, but I still see parties manage to fuck it up.

Never under estimate a pugs ability to fuck shit up.
