Team was running a SH build and after a near wipe ppl left until we only had 4 guys. We were kinda right outside of the boss so we pushed on with 4 people to the end chest
. Crud gold but the experience was fun.
What was "your" moment?

When I was the only one standing in the crossroads mission(I decided to PuG that day because h/h is boring). I was N/R, playing some weird SS/degen build, carrying D-shot. I got flamed for that at the beginning.
We aggroed too much at the monk boss. I ran away, but I already used my res sig (lol PuG).
I came back and decided to try to solo the rest of the remaining mob: 1W, 1R, monk boss. Not the hardest setup but still.
D-shot the monk's anti hex and ZB, used the wall to protect from the ranger's attacks, hexed the warrior to focus on the monk.
It felt so good when 2 guys went "wow" when I finished killing the ranger.

I got a PuG to do the Heart of the Shiverpeaks quest to kill Cyndr.
I was a Blood Necro with Grenth's Balance and some other basic life steal skills along with Demonic Flesh to boost my health for GB.
To be fair, my team did manage to get the carapace down once, but they failed to kill Cyndr. I must have got the Cyndr down to to 50% with GB alone.
In the end it was Cyndr, a couple of others taking most of the damage and me... spamming Vampiric Gaze.
Killing something like that in that way is always nice.

As the only healer in FoW, with probably what was the worst pug ever with 3 warriors aggroing everything and still managed to keep the team alive for a hell of a long time. When we got wiped I looked back and felt proud of myself. And still got a few compliments from a couple of party member's when it was over.

I've got 2 actually...
Mission: Gate of Madness HM
Team setup: 2 monks, SS and SV necro (I was the SV), snarer ele, 2 fire eles, EDA blindbot dervish. 7 humans, dervish hero. Organized Guru PUG.
The SV bar I had loaded originally didn't even have a res, given I used it with H/H teams and I generally don't bother with a res with them. I debated with myself whether bringing it or not for about 20 seconds, figuring out I might as well bring it in case...
The mission went really, really smooth in itself. Careful aggro got us past through the portal area without too much difficulty, and we pwned The Lich. The first 3 shrines weren't so hard to capture... but we got massively killed capping the 4th. Everyone ran around and died in awkward spots while I made it to the door before Shiro got a hold of me.
I was standing at the door, wondering how the eff I was gonna make it through with Shiro around. Decided to move and wound up in one of the shrines, kiting like mad to avoid Shiro. Made it to a shrine, ran to a corner, waited till he deaggroed... res'ed one of the monks who was THANKFULLY carrying Rebirth, then served as Shiro-bait as they res'ed people.
I don't think I've EVER been that glad to carry a res.
=====
Area: ToPK
Team setup: B/P, with me as a N/R B/P... puller.
I have this habit of playing B/P in Urgoz/ToPK on my necro, which scares a lot of people at first, especially since I'm a puller in 99% of the groups. They're generally scared that I'll die or that I have no idea of what I'm doing, but I know the area down to the number of foes per pop-up.
So we're a 6/8 guild group spamming for a b/p, and little people actually want to tag along the N/R b/p. We get a guy who finally decides to team up with us, but he's pretty defiant and rude. "bet u dont make it to 2nd floor, but ill stay on 2 c u fail".
He apologized after we blasted through the first floor in 5 minutes, instead of the 10 minutes most PUG groups take...

Earlier on in the Factions campaign, my monk was probably level 14. Got in a group doing the same quest as me and they were all level 16-18 - I was the only healer in the group.
Some warrior, level 18 decided to say 'lol level 14 monk we're gonna die.'
Determined to disprove him, I paid a lot of attention (a big deal, for me) and I think only one of the party members died once. Considering it was a fairly hard quest for that level.
Satisfied? Yeah. And the level 18 warrior said 'nice monking' at the end.

Ahhh, so many moments, but m most oustanding one would be.....back in the good old days before even Sorrows Furnace came out, Thunderhead keeps was the hardest misson out there, a real funnel were only the best past it, all the noobs stayed.
The easy part was getting to the fort, the hard one was defending it. Limit amount of skill and knowledge at the time was what made it hard. By the time we got there, we were down to 7 players, a sure signe of failure for the most part, but I encourage the rest of the group to stay for as long as possbl, to challenge our self and go as far as we could. So there we are, running left and right, from one gate to the other, thinking divide and conquer. But Quickly were getting overwelmed, 1-2-3 groups too much, they are just adding up, and here and there, but are quickly ressurected and back in combat, to make it worst our seven combatant, a very independent ranger is runnning and some how is surviving.
So in the Chaos of the battle, enemies penetrate our defence and head straight for our king, Moral is low, but we fight on anyways, our untold orders: Victory and death. As a desperate Final stance we head for our king and assiste in up in the tower. Our ranger still in the courthouse, still mysteriously surving and killing his share of monster, Melendru must have been with her. As for the 6 of us, we are strugling at the brinks of the abyss, but the gods must have been over us that day. For working hard and slowly, defeating even the mighty Mursatt, Stone sumit and White mantle, Soon hope is back again, and so we keep on fighting. Finaly the head of the snake shows its face, the chance are slim, but still there, and killing the Double face of Confessor Dorian might just deroute the enemie.
At the first opening we charge, beaten and battered, low on ressource and desperate, and after one final skirmish is fought, short but brutal, but we succeed and defeat the invasion. Having secured the Dwarven fortress, our next goal is defeating the mursatt threat at its root.
Short story: Defeating Thunderhead keep with 7 player including one mute and death during the time Thunderhead keep as actually considered, so much so, they were thead to make it easier in sarlect

I have to say I have had several moments...
The first time I managed to clear the Charr in Pre-Searing...
The first time I defeated Glint with just hench to back up my war...
The first time my guild took on and passed Thunder Head Keep...
But one of my favorite moments was when I made a Mesmer and went post searing and started to do missions. The Ruins of Surmia was a long mission and took a little bit of skill for low level chars to complete it. I started off with a PUG. A war, and Ele and another mesmer. Not 5 min into the mission the war left, then the ele and mesmer shortly there after. Not wishing to give up I completed the rest of the mission by slowly pulling and killing off every Charr on the map till I reached the final gate. Then I went back and laughingly followed the babling Ruric back to that gate and finished the mission all alone.

I went up against my old guild in HA and my team was just playing so poorly. By all means my new guild was better than my old one, but I couldn't stand losing to them. We were all dead except one person, and we rezzed at the priest. Arma went into a fury and started rage-calling everything he could, and we ended up flattening my old guild in about 30 seconds. Felt sooo good.
Team: Randomway Pug
Time: Sleepy Time
My Build: CoP Assassin's Promise with Ebon Sin and FH!
Them: ...idk what i was thinking..
The place: Tennakai (sp?) Temple HM
I was going for masters a while back, when i finally got tired of playing by myself and wanted folks to talk to. It was late, and I felt lucky finding a FULL group of people, with actual "balanced" sort of look to them.
We had everything, a Rit, 2 Monks, a Warrior, a Necro, a Derv, a Paragon, and myself. I was like.. hey.. this should be ok!
We get in there after having a nice little talk, they seemed very nice, and i decided hey, im suuuure they can play! lets just have some fun and get this done!
wrong.. very wrong. The warrior was a mess. he had Charge and a whole series of bad skills like Dolyak. One of the monks apparently wanted to flat out also be a full-on warrior, and was cripslashing crap with Live Vic on. The other monk and the rit were "healers" with basically terribaed skill bars, especially the one monk being a "bonder" with zero direct heals. The necro just spammed Dark Pact and Vamp Gaze as much as he could, and the Paragon was the closest thing to being even mediocre, with his really weak Cruel Spear build, and no IAS.
I won't even being to tell you how bad the Derv/Me was with Backfire, Empathy, a scythe, and Onslaught was..
Long story short.. we failed.. and i was a lil ticked lol.. BUT.. my moment came through, when right before we finally fully wiped (and my first death thanks to my awesome evasive maneuvers lol), I took out everything in the room with the sword guy (whatever that boss was lol), by keeping the mob focused on my sins, and the few spirits left behind. I killed them all, including the boss (degen+CoP+sins ftwwwwwww) then told the team I refused to res them, because of how bad they were.. then i felt bad, resurrected them, and "politely" left in pure rage.. then went to bed.
long story? yes.
my moment? one of my many

Mission: HA
Our Team: One Monk, One Shock War, One IWAY War, 3 Thumpers
It was when HA was 6v6, we got lucky and skipped Relic Runs, and pretty much rolled every team 1v1. We got to Halls (kill count I think) and were losing 8-5-0. Somewhere down the line red team got completly annihalted by Blue, while we were waiting by our shrine to rez. They resigned out, and we ended up winning Halls with our BYOB (got screenies lulz. Next map was altar holding. We never stood a chance.
