That boat battle is not really though and could be done with only two good people. But the rest of your story is awesome

I single-handledly saved my team's arse up at Bloodstone Fen with my Me/E. I don't remember much, just that our monk DCed, our primary tank was dead, and it was me, another weak tank who didn't bring his healing signet, and a low-level elementalist versus Hablion. Needless to say, he was chopping away our warrior health real fast, and both he and the ele weren't strong enough to kill him...

I just slapped Hablion with Empathy and Blinding Flash, coupled with Energy Burn and Energy Tap, then watched the fireworks. Miss - Yeouch! Miss - Yeouch! Hit - Yeouch!

Over and over.

It took a while, but he finally died. Never got any thnaks for my hard work, as always...

My best was with my first character in Lornars pass. That was before all the runners. I was level 15 when I got to Lornar's. I wasn't in any hurry doing all the quests and stuff and the game seemed really easy.

We, my warrior friend and I went in to Lornar's with no hench and got owned. We'd never taken hench at that point and didn't even know what they were. Anyway, it was like a breath of fresh air, a challenge so difficult that I wasn't sure I could do it. We started joining up with every PuG trying to fight through to Draknars, we didn't know that Draknar's wasn't the very next zone up.

Anyway, about 8 groups later and still trying I got into a Pickup Group that seemed cool, I was the only monk and we made it the whole way to the Fort. It took us a grueling 5 hours and I think every member had at least 15 deaths but it was still the best accomplishment I've had yet.

I've had fun in tombs with a b/p or two, and there was an awesome pug I ran into (the type where every player has perfected learning their profession), but these stories stuck more in my mind:

I was helping a couple of low level guildies in a lower mission. I was just there to heal, and I went ahead of them a bit too far. They panicked when they saw their monk getting attacked by 4 or 5 charr fire callers. I just sat their calmly as my level 20 monk simply body blocked and healed, while the two guildies slowly picked the guys off me.

Then there was the time that I went capping Ray of Judgement with henchies. And waddya know, they stuck that guy on the back wall of dragon's throat. So I took henchies and slowly kept trying to work my way back there. I snuck as much as I could, avoiding mobs whenever I could. Then I got to the part where a boss is all by himself. Once you kill him or any other critter in that portion, dozens of assassins spawn. The boss with the cap I wanted was beyond this group. I lost track of the number of times I died at this point, but within an hour I beat my way past these guys, using henchies to body block the base of the pipe while I killed the boss guy.

My favorite moment, that moment I was just struck by awe, was during riverside province. I was dead at the time, being the second to last to die, and so I was chatting with the only other person left. The only person left alive did not have a res sig, which is why all but myself and the other dead person did not leave. Our hero was a ranger. A trapper whom we assisted get to the final bridge before we died. This ranger went head to head with the Ranger undead boss who was body blocking the bridge. For a solid 30 minutes( I lost track of time) we yelled encouragement and suggestions. At first he attempted to lure the bad guy away from the bridge so he could just run across and hit the cinematic, but it didn't work. So as we watched, the ranger slowly rips apart an opponent that kept recovering at the last moment

. When he finally hit that bridge we cheered him as he ran across to end the mission. Most people would have given up, but it was so hard to get a pug, and we were so close....And that guy managed to pull it off. I'd have put his name here, but its been so long that I can't figure out which one he is on my friends list

/edit My guild was founded around a PuG which met up to fight to Droknars, rather than pay a runner. Our best made it to the end of Lornar's pass, maybe a little bit further. All I remember about the exact distance is that we always seemed to die just before the exit...

Couple of days ago on Iron Mines: "Sin, can you tank since we have no W".
I don't like tanking, but agreed.
Monks did more than great, since they also had to keep a lvl 13 'kilroy' up that wanted his Necro cap.
We made mission and bonus. I never died, afaik. Thanks to monks.
I still don't like playing tank, but i will not forget this one.
