About a year ago, my monk was turning a year old and I was mighty tired of looking at her dragon tattoos, bitchin' though they were. So I perused a lot of galleries, spent some quality time in Skyward Reach, and proudly dressed her in brand new duds from Vabbi.
So I was strutting around in this new suit, and one of my friends comes online. Turns out he's doing Thunderhead Keep for the first time, and yes he certainly would like to have my help! So I go there, and I'm looking good and feeling fine, just barely keeping the snottiness under control as I ask my friend's PUG if they're all infused. They say they are, and away we go.
Infusion . . . the concept runs through my mind again as the Mursaat close in on us. I asked the team if they were infused and they said yes, so why am I still thinking about it?
Oh crap.
I'm not infused.
I, the fancy-pants monk, benevolently helping out the hapless noobs, did not have my shiny overpriced clothing infused.
Then the Mursaat arrived . . . and I survived, somehow. I stayed WAY back from the mobs, and none of them got past the front lines, so I didn't melt into a squealing puddle. But I deserved to.

So, have you had any moments like that? Occasions where you did something truly dumb, and yet escaped the consequences? Post the stories here!
HOW did I get away with that?

Meh. I bite the bullet and carry on with the mission.
Then slap Olias for being bad with Prot Spirit, afterwards.
Tbh, though, sitting at high 500/low 600 health mostly, even the AI monks can save me before I asplode.
The other one I do too much is going to FoW in my 55 armour.
Yeah, that really teaches you to lern2kiteAI

When I MM I have the tendency to afk by minimizing GW and searching Guru. After all its a brainless task....
Anyways story goes I tried Hero/Henching The Eternal Grove, no success and no guildies were on at the time to ask for help. So I decided to sit back advertise for a pug, albeit heroes still made up the majority of the team. Then we were off, going through the mission I minimized every minute or so, even watched a few videos on youtube etc etc- no complaints from the group we were gunna get masters just fine. Then towards the end I noticed the last wave of mobs coming, I flagged my guys to the left side (where we believed the harder mob was coming) and stood with my back to the right side so my minions would stall the flank. Minimized, watched some video on gametrailers and decided to check in on GW. I was just in time to witness the last of my team mates to die, quickly I ran even further inside and everyone shouted if I had a res (I was so cocky that I didn't bring one in favor of a sig of capture, now normally I'd check if I even already had the skill or not, but I was feeling to lazy to do that) So regretfully I told them no and sat in the back as I thought of what to do. Then viola, I realized how many dead corpses were around so I started summoning up an army, faithfully my team mates waited it out. So I ran back going to defeat the rit boss and one afflicted assassin with my ten minions strong. Using death nova I wiped em out all no problem then wanded/death swarmed the rit to death. We made Masters, it was pretty epic.

Beat Divinity Coast with a wammo whose skill bar was filled with only adrenaline attack skills and monk healing spells, and in my party, only 1 monk... everyone left after 1 minute, I told the monk "Let's restart with another party" but he or she kept going and... we won... wow.

Ran a guildie from the Marketplace to Kaineng City for him to get armor. My guild leader joined the team in Kaineng to check out his new suit, and while we were there, teased some people in the outpost. Ended up running into a guy who wanted to pay 200-300g for a run from Kaineng to Marketplace. My guild leader said we should do that and give the money to the guildie who just blew all his savings on armor. It was a nice thought, although I wondered who'd be dumb enough to pay for a run from Kaineng to Marketplace.
Leaving the outpost, I was half-running while talking a whole lotta junk, too confident that the run would be a piece of cake... till a few minutes later when I realised I took a wrong turn and ended up at a dead end lol. I realised that the guildie and my guild leader had followed me to the dead end, and we had to backtrack and take the correct route.
It turned out that the dude who needed the run, ran himself, and us, to Marketplace. We were too embarassed to collect any money for that setback hehehe...
Ok I didn't get away with that one, but it we had ourselves a good laugh.

I often neglect to infuse my armour. Too much trouble.
But I laugh at the pathetic Mursaat and their Spectral Agony as my herohench team steamrolls them.

Yet max armor and infusion-the concept ran through my mind and i realized i didn't have max armor on, nor was i infused. I had completley forgotton i had noob starter armor on, i forgot to switch to the same armor set, but the max version.

Been in a simalar situation as OP. Though none of my armour, minus my Vabbian which I hardly ever wear anymore mind you, is infused at this moment in time. Never had a need for it, as I have Proph finished. (Not HM missions yet. Eeek, I should get around to doing that...)
Long story short, yeah, infusion. lol. Thanks for reminding me to get all my new duds infused. Have like 3 full sets that aren't. D:

Canthan Power beats Mursaat. Simply having a Canthan character alone wins 99% of the battle. The remaining 1% is pressing Enter Mission.

A guild member asked me for help today, told me to meet him in Divinity Coast.
After mapping to 3 different continents and slowly moving around every city on each map it finnaly dawned on me where it was.
Been a really really really long time since Ive done that mission.......aside from my Guardian title I think I've skipped that mission with most all of my chars except this one.

One time I was buying Obsidian shards to get Obsidian warrior armor and paid people 3,004 platinum instead of the 3,400 platinum I was offering to buy them for. None of the sellers said a word to me. lulz
Only realized it after a friend logged on whispering to me "HEY BIIIITCH!!!!!!!!!1" "ARE YOU WASTED!?!?" "I NEED GOLD FOR STORAGE". Which made me check my inventory wondering why there was still gold in it. I was on some great pain killers and listening to house music that night so most certainly was. This was back when shards were 4-5k a piece at the rare material trade.

The other day i went into Jennur's Horde (think that's the one) mission with my Derv, only until the last 3rd of the mission did I realize that I had specced into the wrong attribute. Wind Prayers instead of Earth, no wonder my mystic regen was "broken" 
Thank god I had enough awareness to spec my monk heroes right

A few weeks ago while taking screenshots for GWMW assignment 3. I was shooting in the Nahpui Quarter mission, and after I got the shot I wanted I decided to go round and finish off the mission. I noticed myself taking more damage than usual and running out of energy a lot when I shouldn't have been...
It wasn't until I landed at Senji's Corner that I realised that I had forgotten to change back into my usual armor set and had been running around in only 30AL hose and boots (no chest, gloves or headgear). /doh!

I once finished THK Mission without Bonus with an Axe Warrior. With 14 Swordsmanship. :P
I didn't notice till we finished the mission.

I was pretty much 'newbie' for a fairly long while, having H+H my through most of the Nightfall campaign, getting myself to the Ruins of Morah. Did I have a clure what I was doing? Not at all! I didn't know how to ping my skills and the only Elite I had at the time was Ravenous Gaze (I PUG'ed rarely back then), but still, I somehow managed to get myself it to the Realm of Torment with only white weapons and a half-arsed Blood Magic bar.
Never again. Ever.

Saved a MM build once, then ran it on Olias. I was wondering why the minions were so tiny and why he wasn't making more. Brain fart for not changing attributes from SS build before saving MM build.

First thing I do when I get myself a new set of armor: The Infuse Run! 
BTT: Can't think of any such situation, to be honest. I usually ask for a /resign when I realize I've forgotten something vital.

The one conversation i hate in THK.
"Ummm guys....i've just realised my armors not infused"
"lol"
"Oh sh*t mine isnt ether!"
"Wuts infused???"
Thats when you can hear the Mursaat yelling lol at you.

Managed to kill the Disc of Chaos in 4, one ranger (me), one smiter monk (hero, was testing a build), a 'sin (guildie) and an MM (another hero). The other guildie with healer/prot monks crashed during the loading, we, well, actually ME and the golems, manged somehow to kill the Disc, took ~ 7 minutes of non stop Needling Shot spam & reactivate Golems. Lulz

My ranger decided he wanted to farm "Smoking Remains" in his UN infused Grotto Armor, during the Canthan New Year event. What a noob. 
I had to quickly direct him to Iron Mines to keep him from further embarrassing himself.
Its amazing how we get out of habit, I use to get new armor, put on runes, then immediately go and get it infused. The new campaigns just take the brains out of you sometime.

Once upon a time I used to do Drok runs on my warrior.
This relied heavilly on balanced stance and charge to get past the rockthrowing giants etc.
After playing my warrior through one or another mission I went back to my running, got me a group and af we were.
I noticed getting KD'd more than normal and checked my attributes...
I had changed for the mission I did and had almost no points in tactics.
I checked my equipment and put on a sup tactics rune. Even this only got my balanced stance up to 7 sec.
I continued the run still with a far shorter than normal balaned stance and a heavy health deficit to go along with that.
I stopped at all possible points having to manually dodge rocks (side stepping) as much as possible waiting for recharge of skills as well as while running. This got me some nice comments about my skills as a runner.
I made it through although I probably shouldn't have. My hands were shaking at the end.
(this was pre- skill templates btw)
