Support corner - post your herding cats stories

You all have seen it, you put down a nice healing/shielding pizza… and all your dps cats immediatly spacebar out of it.

So, here’s the thread to vent in. Let’s spread around the facepalms a bit.


Flame fox yoho as a paladin entering with a “must know mechanics” pug…
I really love her “yooohooo” bark, but man, is she boring to play with as a paladin, you must keep everything off cd.

  • first powerup everyone runs away, including the gunlancer. (I still manage to stagger her throwing in a whirl bomb and with the pitiful stagger godsent law does as an hail mary… at least they see me whaling on her, so it does not repeat)
  • she spits fire, i put godsent law in front of her face… everyone spacebars out of the circle
  • she does her spinning circle buff thing, I dash out to let a cat have the buff… and everyone else follows me out
  • keeping the shield off cd as much as possible to cleanse flames, either of those two things happen:
    • I use shield for chip heal, and 3 seconds later everyone walks in the fire
    • people remember they have potions, I do manage to use shield for actually cleansing the dot. Everyone walks into the fire again as soon as I have cleansed the old stacks.
