I am not sure where this belongs...move it if this is inappropriate here.
Provide a quick description of the most ridiculous death you've ever had. This includes unbelievable damage, a certain style or whatever...


my personal favorite is Kunvie (ele boss near harvest temple) hitting me for 1200+ damage in HM. I had no armor, was in frenzy...and was using heal sig.

I have had some good survives but :
Most noobish death : rubberbanding into level 3 foes as a level 20 warrior
Most annoying death : dying next to a nice req9 gold

Back to Medieval Assassins [MA]

3 frenzy wars vs my starburst ele in AB.....yeah that was fun getting flamed for the next 10 minutes cause my build was noob or somethin (yet im the one still alive and they started to avoid me like the plague after that)

then there was the time i was monking AB (no idea why) and im not sure if this was syncro'd or just extremely good luck but 5 assassins shadow stepped on me a dropped my ass faster than a rit spike....that was actually pretty fun.

old school HA.....i was running hybrid minion factory with 3 1/2 MM's (it was a noob build but kinda fun) after we had set up an iway charged in and was wiped in under 30 seconds. and of course in a show of true sportsmanship they raged us called us noobs etc etc...... gotta love this game sometimes

A catapult in GvG.

In the first GvG we stepped into one of our guildies used the catapult out of sheer curiosity. Unfortunatly we were fighting right in its fireing zone. It is the most memorable because we were so shocked.

Probably all the times I've killed myself trying to heal myself with [skill]spirit light[/skill], and my only spirit dies *just* as it completes casting.

Though it was kinda amusing when I took my dervish to cantha, and ended up getting beaten on by a bunch of afflicted in Vizunah Square. 3 of my enchants were blinking and the mobs were about dead, so I set off [skill]mystic sandstorm[/skill]. x8 Afflicted Soul Explosion.

I will never forget the time I was the last one alive in my urgoz group just as urgoz had a few health and I used barbed signet killing myself. Being spammed with the words "NOOB f**ker"!

My first trip into FoW. A group of guildies and I had never been, we paid, stared around and then run right into the middle of the first patrol group. We get the hell beaten out of us, rezed who we could and done a runner...right into the next patrol...and that was the end of that

Some of those people have never ventured into FoW since lol

My most memorable death so far? Let's just say I should have known better than to use Death Pact Signet on an inexperienced Assassin... But it was a GREAT laugh

Okay it's not when I died, but when I killed my guidlie with the catapult at the Fort Ranik.

Favorite death(s) recently were when I was in my old lame ass guild - all 7 of them died at the first noob filter in Sorrow's Furnace.

Today I was in Tomb in HM and everyone else was dead. I was running from some Grasps and had mostly succeeded except one Grasp kept breaking aggro and then suddenly continuing the chase! *lol* He caught up with me and I died in one hit.

Was doing a 2 vs 1 scrimmage versus guildies in our GH. I was pin downed in my base. One of my guildie was able to snuck into my base and started killing NPC. I notice the other guildie starting to shoot the catapult.

As you can guess on the second shot, the guy shooting catapult into my base team killed his buddy.

I was able to win this match when VoD came

Oh dear, where to start... >.<

Probably the worst was a while ago when I was on 60% DP in Ice Caves of Sorrow, and I was trying to cross the second last catapult in the mission. When I was halfway through, the catapult hit me and killed me instantly from full HP...

Then to make matters worse, we didn't have rebirth, or prot spirit, so I had to get res chanted over and over and try and run for the other side while the catapult kept 1 hit killing me ;_;

I think I got about 20 deaths or more from that alone x_x

The next is a picture:



A couple of days ago I hit 9,999 deaths, so we decided to do something special for my 10,000th, which involved me getting catapulted while naked heal sig frenzying >.>

And then there was the time when Sorrows Furnace just came out, and we were at the crusher-thingies, and I asked my group "what happens if you stand under one of those?", and someone replied "stand under one and find out?" and so like a fool I did...

I die too much =(

I wouldn't say it's amazing, but probably everyone who has made an assassin primary or secondary has attempted and succeeded in killing themselves with their own catapult shot.
I once managed to not only kill myself with a catapult, but rez myself with Lively was Naomei.
I spent a while doing that.
I have no life.
Shoot me.

My most memorable death was when i played my Sin in HA.

Dark Chambers. Our guild versus either IWAY or some other team with a trapper. I played Aura of Displacement sin and was normally there to kill the enemy priest solo while the rest of our team double backed to save ours. Yeah well that time i was just using AoD to get to the priest and literally exploded cause the enemy team trapped the hell out of the priest. Me using frenzy wasnt exactly helping either

most memoriable death:

I was running BiP/BR in random arena w/ 1 hp (hey, i have my reasons )
The opponents included 3 rangers and 1 monk. Since the rangers got so tired of me dodging their arrows, one of them put up the spirit that increases your max hp for every enchant you had. Basically my health went from 1hp -> 70hp. I got killed in two shots xD

responsible for other ppl's death:

I was playing monk in HM gate of madness when my friend started pm-ing. I got distracted with talking that by the time i finished, everyone had left the team (i assumed that they were all dead)

My first time tanking in UW, I used Hundred Blades on 3 closely grouped Smite Crawlers. All of the smites had Shield of Judgment up. An instant ~600 holy damage.

Getting killed by 1 smite was my most embarassing... hmm i think its safe here ill go get some tea, come back have 10health and the smite finishes me off...
Worst death: unloking a chest in fow and seeing a req8 chaos axe drop only to be killed with noone to res :'( i never went back to FoW since. The memories plague me XD

My personal favorite was when I went vanquishing with my buddy (he was bonding) and we ran into a rit boss. Over vent I heard him say "holy #%Q# hes huge". He ran up for a closer look at this boss and got hit by spirit burn. Instant death. Boss then proceeded to kill us off one by one.

My most memorable, is also my most ironic.

I was on my Ritualist, who is a level 1 survivor, and I was planning on going for at least level 2. Because of this, I was capping elites for their exp boosts.

I was fighting Ssyn Coiled Grasp for his elite, when I was hit by his [wiki]Ancestors' Rage[/wiki] which brought me down to about 20 health. I was then killed by the Warrior standing next to me.

Now this was ironic because, my Ritualist was wielding Ssyn's Staff. I got the staff almost half a year earlier when I excessively farmed Ssyn for his staff.

This has happened to me twice now, once in RA and once in TA with guildies-

I sometimes run Death Pact Signet on my Rit, because if your team is competent enough, a fast and renewable rez can kick major ass. Of course, it can backfire. I try to be the last to use my rez because of its downside. Sometimes I have to rez multiple people. Well, twice so far, someone I rezzed died and killed me right along with them. One of our surviving team members rezzed me, then the other person I rezzed died just seconds thereafter, killing me again. So there I was taking a dirt nap with 2 deaths in a span of seconds, and 0% DP.

When i was doing 55/SS UW. I died and got resed, and then i equipped the -20 offhand.... 13 HP!!!

And then an Aatxe severed my artery and then a Dying Nightmare stripped my enchants. And then my nice little pink health bar changed to dark red in 2 seconds....

Or, when i was capping Avatar of Lyssa as lvl 17. I got killed by the Acolyte, then my henchies res sigged me while the acolyte was next to me. "whee full health!" and then the acolyte hit me with twin moon sweep, dead in 1 hit. So one of the henchies ressed me again. Twin moon sweep again, i died in 1 hit. happened at least 5 times.

but i managed to kill it in the end

When I was trying to map the bonus mission area of the Dunes of Despair mission. I had teleported myself to the outside using Necrotic Traversal to be able to map without the timer started.

After mapping quite a bit I got killed by those pesky sand scarab monsters. After some time I suddenly saw some green dots appear on the radar. My henchies were coming to rezz me!

With a full group I could easily map all area end even do the bonus mission. Thank god for this glitch!

Playing one of the Fire Island coops where you have to choose whether to attack the main gate or take the side entrance into the Mursaat fortress, I remember I was playing as my Warrior and the team had gotten pretty much wiped out. There was me and there was one monk left running for our lives and the Mursaats had aggro'd the monk, I turned around, body blocked the mursaat and valiantly gave my life breaking the aggro on the monk.
Then the monks got error007'd and this was before the update when you could come back into the game..

Which kinda hurt coz I could have rez'd the Ritualist if I hadnt sacrificed myself to save the monk.

Oh well c'est la vie.

It's not my character but definately the most memorable deaths of a party member (he's my guildie in this case). I was with my guildie killing Varesh. Guildie Dervish was killed by Call of Sacrifice (Hex spell: For 20 seconds or until target is at less than 20% Health, target foe loses 20 Health each second.)

The Hex stayed with the character even after death and no matter how many times tried to rez him, as soon as he got up, he is dead again before even being able to stand up straight!

Not knowing what was going on at first (were too focused on killing Varesh), the monks were rebirthing him all over the place - so he was literately flying/teleing all over the screen!! And only after realising the dying sound of the character can be heard repeatedly (the "Eurrrr" sound before the character collapsed onto the floor), and him spamming "Please don't raise my DP & deaths anymore!!"... we stopped trying to rez him and managed to kill Varesh and finished the mission.


P.S Anet, there's a bug there!!
