OOPS, I didn't bring a rez

When was the last time you said that to your party members?

For me it was last night in Nahpui Quarter. We had made it to boss #3 with only one dropout. I found myself so involved fighting an Essence of Dragon, and dragging him away from the rest of the party, that I wasn't watching anyone else's status. I finally finished off the essence and looked around with a sense of pride at killing him (playing a ranger) only to find "an empty area."
I checked the party box - everyone was dead - and started trying to locate a monk -- accompanied by the usual comments of "rez the monk," "get the healer first." Suddenly, I realized I hadn't brought a rez signet.

So there I was, full of health and energy, ready to go forward, and ALL ALONE.
END OF MISSION, all due to a beginner mistake.

Let's hear about one of your goofs that stand out in your memory. Just so I won't relive that "all alone" feeling.

Im guilty of doing that sometimes...like when Im skill capping with my guildies, I want to take certain skills, but need that slot for the cap sig. I have done it sometimes with PUGs, but that was if we had more than one Monk and I felt that I needed another skill to take.

Never.

I always keep res with me unless asked not to, like when there would be more important skill to take with me instead of res. Given that I don't take it off by choice, it never comes as a surprise, so no "oops".

the only time i take my res off my skill bar is if running. it is then the first thing i put back on.

You had the party window closed, why?

rofl. Oh well , guess you have to solo the mission now everyone is dead and cursing you .

Depends what build i'm playing...

Assassin i never take a res... either i'm the first to die or i would rather use the slot for somet more beneficial.

The only time I don't bring a rez spell with me is when solo farming.

I agree with Vladmir. The only time rez comes off my skill bar is when I'm soloing. Anytime I'm with people (except AB) rez is in slot #8. Doesn't matter if we have 2 monks, doesn't matter if they said dont bring it. I always have it 'just in case'.

As for the party window being closed, I do that too unless I'm monking.

Checking party health status is useless for a R/Me, there's nothing I can do to help anyone. The box just blocks my view.

The rez was off my skill bar because I had been capping with henchies.

But the point of the post was to hear about your screwups. I already beat myself up.

I can count on one hand the times I didn't bring a rez and actually needed it. Once was in the Deep...but it wouldn't have helped anyway. One monk was not going to get anyone rez with the Oni's and Nightmare's beating on me.

I never bring it, and will only do so if asked.

You guys turn off your party window ? I don't know how to articulate it, but I feel knowing the health of the rest of my party helps my awareness. The only time I turn off the party window is if I'm running somewhere.

On quests I never take a rez. If the group does something stupid and gets wiped there's always shrines. In missions it depends what class I'm playing. As a warrior I never take one. If the warrior has to rez something is drastically wrong. I have seen casters run ahead of me and lure agro. I figure the group is better off leaving them dead.

What I find funnier than no rez, is them saying "Rez the Healer first!".

Becuase a Rez on the monk is usually a decent indicator that your monk is trouble and only likes to spam Healing Breeze and Heal Party (not 100% accurate, cause good monks in pve can bring rezs, but meh)

I've had monks stop in the middle of a fight and rebrith (REBIRTH!) someone...without even focus swapping.

If I leave the party window up (since I'm used to monking) I end up watching everyone elses health which distracts me from what I'm supposed to be doing....like killing or summoning depending what character I'm playing. Occassionally I have it open when I'm playing my necro and I'm throwing some healing out there to help the monks. (Which isn't often unless we have major issues)

As for my worst screw up (which as Darcy pointed out is the point of this thread) I can't think of anything offhand.... *thinks* .....

Ok here's one. I trashed a mini-pet when I first started because I didn't know what it was. That one probably takes the cake for most people, lol. I don't even remember how I got the darn thing, because I know I didn't buy it. (Obviously since I didn't know what it was or what it did) I think I traded someone else that was new for it or something, thought it was worthless afterwards, and threw it away.

if you're not a monk or monk secondary, just say you used it and gg.

i never bring rez when playing and ele! sometimes i dont take it when im a ranger... but the worse moment?

for ONCE i didnt take a rez being a monk, (i dont normally use it so i figured why take it this time?) and guess what? i was the only one left alive and god knows what my guildies were saying about me on private chanels

personally, i've never had this problem. res sigs or a res spell have always been an integral part of my builds unless i'm soloing an area. usually, i try not to get too mad when other people dont bring their reses, but it should be assumed that everyone has at least the signet with them.

Heh, once I was PUG monking and brought a res sig instead of a hard res. (I had just been doing Altruum Ruins, where it is the right thing to do.)

It didn't end well. Oooh, were they pissed.

I do not do it all the time...it totally depends on the situation. As for the reasons not to bring it, follow the same situational opportunity. If I have a skill that will aid the group in defeating the enemy or will enable longevity during a fight, then that is when it might be good. In my experiences a significant portion of the time,while in PUGs, you will have people who quit when several party members are down. Why? Because it is those people who cant play the game with DP. Can you anticipate it? NO! So, it all boils down to knowing your character and knowing what you need for the party as a whole. Is "Ressurection" the most important? NO! It is definately near the top of the need list. My two cents!!
