Greatest save

Was there ever a time when you were doing a mission and you single handedly defeated the boss/monster to defeat the mission?


I had an experience when i went with a group for the mission to defeat the harbringers(forgot the name) and we were at the the last harbringer. We were halfway until another group of margonites came and started attacking. The mesmers took down my mnoks and killed us of one by one. But they had left me alone with the harbringer and i had its life in my grasp.i had 10 health left until i hit the final blow on it. i had defeated the harbringer single handedly=)9with the help of my teammates in the beginning.

a battle between a Harbringer and a Wammo, thank the Emperor I was not here to gaze the decay ><

FYI i was on my dervish.. and don't be rude darth =)

oh yeah I had quite the triumphant one a long time ago

was doing Dragon's Lair bonus with a random pug, and the entire group wiped to Glint except for me, playing Grenths/blood necro. Sure the party took 99% of Glint's life, but I managed to stay alive, fire off a few Grenth's and Vamp Gazes and what not, and dodged enough fireball blasts to finish her off on my own.

Hehe, good topic.

I've had a few memorable ones. Like my Ele single handedly killing two 28elementalists in UW after my party wiped. They had full health, and I was running an air build (read: none farmer build). Had to use shock to interupt their worst spells and heal myself as often as possible. Was able to kill them and get back to where our monk had died (he had been one of the few guys who got MOSTLY away after we realized we had to retreat) and he was able to rebirth the whole party.

Another time all my team died in Unwaking Waters at the end except for myself and the CPUs from the other faction's team while on my w/r (idiot teammates not moving away from or killing the scales). Was able to hold aggro and keep myself alive while the ranger and necro NPCs helped me finish him off.

Ohyeah?
Well my best heroics is from the ra lol , does it count? I enter the battle and got to the fireislands killcount map. All of my team left at the beginnig, so i was alone. Enemy had 3 players. I was playing bloodnecro and i killed them one by one because they scattered and never attacked me sametime. ending numbers where something like 4 vs 1 to my favor. hahhah that made my day.

The only one I remember was in the Moddok Crevice mission. My party managed to bring down The Hunger's health to around the halfway point, unfortunately pretty much the whole group was dead at that point. I hexed it with Spiteful Spirit, Insidious Parasite, Price of Failure, and Spinal Shivers. Then I proceeded to wand it to death.

PUG-ing Hells Precipice is September 2005. I was on my mesmer, running e-surge/burn and some interupts. We get to the Lich, and the party pretty much wipes except for me and a ranger. Rez sigs burnt. I swear I was dodging those 6 of thoses bubbles that transport you into the lava, running around, casting surge and burn everytime they came up. Somehow beat him after 10 minutes. It was great!

Recently beat the Drought in the Rilohn Refuge mission with 6 party members dead and 2 of us left at around 50 HP each but managed to wand the Drought to death since it was nearly there anyway.

Those close fights are always fun

We'd gone out capping outside ember light camp - 4 people each with 4-5 cap sigs each and 4 henchies (back in the day when they sucked).

The party wiped after a couple of badly timed patrols and there were 3 fire drakes on my back - after a tenuous struggle the 3 were defeated with a bar that consisted only of putrid explosion and grenth's balance.

Of course, I had replaced my res with a cap sig so I had to kill myself afterwards lol.

I remember doing Dragon's lair on my whammo, first time I ever got there, entire party except for me was wiped, glint at full health, I managed to dodge her fireballs till she for some reason retreated a bit

I ressed someone with rebirth, grabbed an egg, and kept dodging her firebals while the other ressed the entire team. We managed to beat her, and nobody said ty to the poor whammo who dident even have mending

I remember my first run through Arborstone. I was playing my Sword Ranger and was experimenting with a dual riposte build when I went through. I remember at the very end, there was this HUGE Warrior boss. The party all went one way and that boss went STRAIGHT for Danika. So, I stepped in his way all by my lonesome.

Party turns around after a bit. One of them asks "Where's the War boss??"

"I got him, no worries!" *cough* Though, Danika did heal me quite a lot. But it was hilarious to see their collective responses.

This is a pretty intresting topic, my story comes from the first week of playing guild wars with my friend and we did the rankor mission or whatever it was that you used catapults on.

Well both of us had just moved on from a really bland kind of game and we thought the catapult was pretty cool so he wanted me to fire it at him lol, well he was the leader and he forgot he had the henchies control so when i fired they all died with him. I had already used my res sig and was on my own from then on fighting the hordes of char with only a lv 10 wammo and finally without knowing i killed the last boss to end the mission in succes.

We were both laughing the entire time about and even up untill now.

I had a group at Abbadons Mouth. 8 players to start. Both Warriors and a monk rage quitted. So, myself (Motivation Paragon), 2 necros (1 not infused), an ele, a ranger. Not only did we finish, we got the Bonus. This was post motivation nerf (less health on Restoration chants).

IMO QQ's save of the guild lord in the CT match against EW was the greatest save ever, which you can see here

That wasn't me though.

Doing the drought, entire party got wiped except Ele Hero....He killed the drought from 30% health - I've never fiqured out how

Single-handedly clearing out the Flame Temple... as a lvl 20 fire ele

when i was doing the post-campaign ascalon titan quest, all of my team except for me (WoH monk) was killed and i had to keep alderbern alive against 2 lvl 24 charr warriors and a burning titan AND ressurect my teammates at the same time.

my finest moment in ascalon.

There was a time when I played RA. The team was like: Ranger (me), Monk, Elemetalist and Warrior. We win the 1st match, Warrior quits and we get an Assassin in the beginning of the next match. Assassin is a good one and we win this match as well. 8 more victories follow. So, everyone but an Assassin gets a glad point... Unlike so many teams at this point, ours decided to continue and try in TA.
The map is one with the priests. We were kinda slow and indecisive in the beginning and managed to get our priest killed. So, we launch a quick attack at the enemy shrine and, to our own surprise, it succeeds. Long story short, in the very end only me and enemy spirit spammer were standing. (Barely alive, both of us ). Somehow I managed to interrupt what was needed through the heavy lag xD and the guy died from poison. So, our Assassin gains glad point, tadam! happyend

I can't say that this was my save but I steel feel really good about it. I was really proud to be a part of a team that didn't abandon its member and struggled til the very end. That really was 1 of my best moment through the game.

I wanted the bonus for riverside province so i decided to just pug it. My warrior joined a pug and we decided to use my dunk as the monk. Well halfway through the mission 2 people left and we were stuck with a zb dunk, a wammo fully dped out, a good warrior, a nuker, and me having 1 skill missing and charge as my elite. We cleared all the way to the last watchtower then the whole party whiped except for me. Well i had already used my res sig so i decided just to kill the last boss. I was running sever,galarath, and final blow as my only attack skills. I ended up fighting him for about half an hour before i finally timed my spike right so i killed him right after he used order of pain.
After that i res the monk, and we finished.
