Best Coolest most Surprising Successes

I’m looking to hear about the most surprising or coolest successes you’ve had in the game.

One of mine was at Hell’s Precipice in a PUG. I was trying to finish the game with my monk. We had 8 starting but before we even got to the portals we were down to only 5 players. Things were already looking bleak and some suggested we start over but we decided to push on. We took our time and made it through the portal area and then another person left after they capped so we were down to only 4. Two of the players had already done the mission but me and the other said we still needed to finish. The remaining players were really cool and we decided to give it a shot. We had 2 monks a warrior and a ranger. I was pretty skeptical but we pushed on taking our time. I was mostly healing and luckily had a few smiting skills. It was awesome to actually beat the mission with 5 and 4 players.

Another one when I was playing my first character through the game my Ranger/Monk. We were at Elona Reach and we couldn’t get any monks for the group. The group leader said we should try it without monks anyway. I had already tried and failed the mission a hand full of times so the idea didn’t sound like a good one to me. So me and another secondary monk put on some healing skills so we could be the monks. We made through the first part just fine. When we made it near the first crystal we aggroed two groups and I was sure we were dead. To my surprise a few of us went down but we survived and got the first crystal. We continued to battle and got the second crystal and beat the mission. It was very cool. “We don’t need no stinkin monks.”

6 wammo and 2 monk PUG at hells.

An all W/Mo Team in Hells

(scary)

7 W/Mo - 1Blood Necro PUG at Hell's too

Doing Hells full stop.

That mission is so taxing.

Hells with a Guild group but with Candy Cane weapons and Gingerbread Shields/Focii

doing bonus on 2nd to last mish. lost 5 players including both monks!! pushed on and prevailed =D we did not manage the mish (which i already had but the rest of the team didnt, muhahah) but we got that tart of a ghost to her darn resting place!

4 wammo plus one monk plus one ele to beat Abaddon Mouth's mission.

Expert on Gyala Hatchery with no human monk.

A while back I did Vizunah Sqaure with only 8 people (The mission normally consists of 16)

Turns out just before the first cutscene, a member on the opposing side left. Unfortunatly, the rest of his team were henchies, so they permanetly died and caused us to trek on with our team of 8. It was really rough at times because, due to us not killing quite fast enough, we seemed to get swarmed with many enemys. Despite that, we continued on and surprisingly beat the mission. Sure, we got the basic completion, but beating a mission designed for 16 people with an 8 person group is a memory i won't soon forget

Unwaking waters with only myself a monk and a warrior alive. Our team died pretty fast and the other was 7 henchies and and one real. But I was able to keep the warrior alive long enough to finish kuuna. It was a joyus moment because I hate that mission and I love master ranks. :]

Aspenwood, as a Kurzick. Around the 50% point, Green area completely overrun, two turtles moving in. Somehow we kept the NPC's breathing, cleaned out the area and survived. It must have been demoralizing, the Luxons never made it that far again.

unwalking waters master reward. Me (luxon) and 7 henchies and another guy (kurzick) with 7 henchies. We pwnd .

Standard impatient don't want to wait in Room 2 team gone so we out a monk, a warrior and an elem - we push on and never in my life have i seen sooo many purples drop....another guy dc's, forget what prof...I think actually a monk but we decide to push on ..... then the Golds start dropping!!! Woot - I called it the "magic number" and man even tho we died in Room 8...we all were excited to have so much great stuff to put in storage Guess you wouldn't technically call it a success but with those kinda drops I felt that way lol.

One of the most memorable missions was with my Ranger at Aurora Glade. We lost 2 people that all had to suddenly leave right near the end, so we thought we were in big trouble. Luckily, I had done this before, and brought a few skills to slow down the runners. Using Pin Down and Barbed trap on those runners was so much fun Rest of the group just kept picking off the runners after I crippled them, and the funny thing was we killed all of the Mantle! The poor Demagogue was sitting there all by himself when we killed him.

Recently I got my 80 Amber for my 15K Kurzick Armor which is a big deal for me since I usually don't have more than 20-30K. Got it from pure Faction Farming (and doing all Kurzick quests), so it was quite rewarding - I'm so proud

This was a couple weeks ago back in FoW. We had just made it to the Forgemaster in Fissure. After clearing about half the mobs, half of our team decides to drop. What we are left with is 1 Wammo,2 rangers and me(Monk). I'm running a Bond/Boon build, casting life Barrier and Bond on the remaining 3. Somehow with the degen and limited energy, we managed to kill the remaining Abys, Monks, Mes, Rangers. After that we defended, killed off all of the seeds in the cave and crafted our armor. Best "win" I've had in the game thus far.

Mine was doing unwaking waters with two teams of henchmen with all of us dead except for danika wanding kuunaavang to death and Actually WON!!!!

I also did Vizunah with an 8 person team (1 warrior, 1 mes, 6 henchies) because there weren't enough people in local yet, and they hadn't fixed the hench resing thing.

Arborstone with 2 people + 6 hench... had a bad pull at the very end. Only 1 hench left standing when Danika finally gets her spell off and opens the door.

Same experience as the OP had with Hells. All but 5 of us remained after the bonus and we had no monks. Just me a mesmer, 3 warriors and a necro. Luckily the warriors were wammos and had brought rez which we used a lot. I also passed out free candycanes. We did it and I screen capped it.

Also beat Riverside with 3 people... including the bonus. Two warriors and myself again as the mesmer. That took a while and we were at one time down to one alive.

Thunderkeep

4 Warriors (most /monk, can't remeber now)
2 Rangers
Lina
Mhenlo

I joined that group because i thought it'd be amusing, damn i was right, we only had 1 death, and that was the monk henches fault for wandering off in a different direction...

Does an All Mesmer group to anywhere count The all mesmer group trip to clear Abaddons Mouth was pretty funny. Bringing Dunham was a great idea since he was such an awesome decoy by the 4th group since he kept dieing. Willia the Unpleasant.... what can i say, 1 mesmer set up properly is bad enough for her health bar. Let alone 7 of whom all had at least 1 interrupt (hell i was the monk/heal party spammer and i still had Power Drain on me).
