Daydreaming at the office.Follow

Bored at work? I know I am! So, I've decided to start a thread for those of us who have nothing better to do.

Recently, while leveling in the Labyrinth of Onzozo, our pullers route to the prey was cut off by an NM Manticore. The puller(Brianna), acted fast, asking the two other partys in the area to allience with us to take it out. They agreed, and with the allience formed, the battle began. The fight looked grim early on, the NM took out our PLD quickly and our BLM DC'd. However, slowly but surely our allience starting working more as a team, and the tide started to turn. Skill chains were flying, our PLD was raised, a 75 RDM took our DC'd BLMs spot, and we were winning. Things were looking good, until two Toramas spawned and aggroed us(it seemed the Manticore formed an allience too :p). Intially, I didn't see them, but when I went to ballad the mages there they were. I quickly Horde Lullabied the Toramas landing with no problems. Some HP had been lost, but things were still managable, with our PLD now fully recovered, he resumed tanking duties. I kept up the sleep cycle on the Toramas, our PLD would Flash them when they woke to try to keep me alive. The fight was nearing an end, the Toramas woke once again, but this time they got over. Seeing them hit me that PLD quickly got their attention, but with one hit from each of them before I could get Horde off, and a few hits from the NM, the PLD found himself dead again. My Horde lands on the Toramas, but also draws hate from the NM due to the PLDs death. The NM hits me once, and being weakened from the Toramas, I go down. Our WHM goes next, and things are looking pretty grim, a few more go down in the confusion. The NM has a sliver of HP left, and the Toramas are waking up! With the outcome in question, the allience comes through, killing the NM. Our WHM reraises herself, and slowly but surely, all of the fallen get Raise II and join in to finish off the Toramas. Victory is ours!

Manitcore - 0 / Allience - 1

By far, this was the most fun I've had in an XP party. For one moment, everyone said to hell with XP, lets join up and kill this thing! This is what drives me to keep playing, the adventure. So I ask of my fellow Shiva players, what drives you?

Happy Hunting!

What drives me is doing the "impossible". I few examples are ZM4 all BST, Sandy Rank 7-1 NM with 3 BST levels 64-66, killing the Windy 8-1 NM with 4 BST (63, 2 67's and a 71) Trio'ing ZM5 Flesh NM (that was a battle and a half!) Cape NM and Behemouth's NM.

Basically, I like going into a fight with the odds stacked against me and coming out on top. I do not want to go in with all of the uber level 75's with me leeching, I would rather try and die then to skate through.
