I jumped through the first window after whoever I was following... and walked straight out the door, pulled a pack, caused a wipe, and wasted heaps of time. thankfully the server crashed shortly after and there wouldn't have been any 3 timed loot anyways! zupas last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Automagica/~3/351189711/arena-build.html" rel="nofollow">The Arena Build</a> Once I ruined a ZA teams 3-timed attempt by failing at the shortcut where you jump through the hut windows to avoid a pack of mobs.

It's not a colossal mistake by any means, but I feel really bad for my friend warrior for all his deaths while I was perfecting my timing with max rank Greater Heal without overhealing. This was back in the day when GH was 4sec cast =) Also I just remembered.

We were attempting Huhuran in TAQ. A non-MT healer job is pretty easy before 30%. So I get all relaxed, heal up my group and throw a heal at MT occasionally, when suddenly a rogue in my group gets aggro without me realizing. First hit he got I thought was just damage he received from poison, so I throw a renew on him. A couple of seconds later he's dead! Had I paid more attention, I could've given him just enough time to vanish. After that we proceded on killing her for our first time. I recorded it on video, but was too embarassed to share with the guild =) Those who've been to BWL know how Vael isn't hostile before you make an attempt. In this encounter we would usually split on two sides of the room. Well we do our first attempt and wipe. We get back, buff up and I happily run on my assigned side. Through him. Wiping out the raid. Although there was also the time I was the last man standing with my SW:Pain killing Vael. So I like to think I made up for my mistake. Oh and throwing a few flash heals on someone during priest call just as Nefarian is about to die is just classic :D This is all back from pre-BC days, as I stopped rading after BC came out…

Was trying to inch forward to rez someone from the first wipe on High King Maulgar (we were having one heck of a bad night and the hunter we brought to the raid had never actually raided before and apparently did not know how to misdirect)...well, you guessed it, I got too close and body pulled High King Maulgar, wiping the whole raid. BAD PRIEST! This was in the past week or so…and isn’t it always more fun to wipe a 25-man raid single-handedly than a 10 manner?

I purposely did not move when I got the bomb buff." Are you saying that the decision/behavior was the mistake? That's really great, most people don't make those kind of corrections, and fewer still own up to them. “Baron Geddon: … I purposely did not move when I got the bomb buff.”

I had just spec'd CoH so was opposite the tank with the rogues instead of where I would normally be. Raid Leader called the pull and I tried to frisbee MT... out of range... inch forward, inch forward, inch forward... body pull VR. At least the wipe was quick! Void Reaver.

On Lurker, I could get in the water, but I couldn't get back out, at least not in tree form. People were laughing at the tree that was stuck in the pool! And on Void Reaver, man I really wanted those T5 shoulders, but even out of tree form, there was just no avoiding those orbs that night (and this was back when VR was easy).
