I went on an UBRS run on Saturday. Mind you, it was the UBRS run from hell, but I went anyway. I know I’ve gone off on PuGs a lot before, but this one was of another nature. It was actually a good group.
To say I didn’t have any warning as to the nature of the group would be a lie. Krace,รย a fellow FoA member, also needs to finish his tier 0.5 set, so whenever he gets in a group, he tries to get me in. I just don’t have the patience any more to wait around while people try to get a group of 5, let alone 10, together. His warning to me while I was still in IF was, “the leader seems… a bit dim.” THAT’S not a good sign, but it can be overcome.
We went in there and had good speed all the way to Gyph. We dropped him and his handler in good form. So far, no one has died. I had just complemented the priest in my group for good healing. We got to the room before The Beast and wiped 6 times. I’m not kidding. On the stairs, in the room, all over. We took down The Beast with 9 guys, but it took forever to get to him and never really got past him.
After three pulls on the bridge, we wiped for the last time because EVERYTHING had repopped. We fought our way back to the hall above the eggs when half of my armor and both of my axes turned red at the same time. I said that was it for me because I didn’t get a single good drop because I was holding out for the Valor piece at the end. I passed by 2 upgrades and left with a 4g repair bill and had popped 7 major health potions.
Well, that just sucks.
Ouch. That sounds like one hell of a bad luck run. I always hate when a run goes bad right in the middle too, makes it seem like such a waste of good talent.
