The worst ways for you & party to die

Before an update which changed this, was doing bloodstone caves HM, on the 2nd level as soon as you passed a res shrine about 20-25 incubus would drop down all at once. 10ish touch necros with 20 blood magic, 10ish air eles with spammable knockdowns and blind, and a few wars left over. We got caught completely be surprise and died almost instantly, ontop of the shrine, and dp-ed out after ressing a few times.

when you're 10,000 exp points away from legendary survivor and lag from anet's server side causes the game to freeze while you run into a mob of roaring ethers is a pretty shitty way to die imo

The worst way to "die"

7 Party members die.
1 party member survives.
This party member does not have rez.


Honestly the worst way evar to "die".

NPCs dying in missions..

almost finished Ice Caves of Sorrow HM too... >.<

I hate it when u sacrifice yourself so the monk can get away only to find out the monk only brought a sig and they used it on the ONE guy in in your party who doesn't have res.

another way that sux to die is when ur the monk and ur healing the "tank" and they just up and leave as soon as they start to take damage leaving the monsters to get you the vulnerable little monk

Failure by NPC death is indeed really lame.

Party wipe due to everyone having the same bad shellfish for dinner.
It could happen.
You don't know.

worst way to die in my experience is

someone in the team who can't keep their mouth shut starts a keyboard typing fest/fight with the monk regarding which way and what enemy to kill first, they both go back and forth typing insults at each other, while the rest of the team goes dead and the monk rage quit.... and the party took you half an hour to find...

Yeah... I just hate when Togo stands next to them though and insta dies...

But anyway, /seconded that catapult death in GvG is the WORST

I love scrimmaging on maps with catapults. Especially when my moron teammates sit right on top of their gate and yell at me when the catapult lands near the gate

I love dying by catapult for reasons like that

Wa/Mo in the party.

A w/mo without Rebirth in PvE? Yeah pretty lamo.

I think vizunah square for survivor through minions.

Wa/Mo anything anywhere - near assured party wipe. So... that's my worst way. When you saw it coming before you even left town, but you left with them anyway...

EoE bomb from a mob of kurz in an alliance battle match a few days ago.. it was mob vs mob right at then end.. and there was EoE.. and then i was like.. wtf we won.. but we're all dead..

Perhaps take a prot monk with you, and enchant before agro

There's so many terrible ways... GWEN boulders, catapults, massive AoE damage, terrible NPC aggroing, you name it.
But my money's on one of two ways:
In NF, having a full NPC party and accidentally leaving your Junundu Wurm in the middle of a poisoned area, then watching your NPCs follow suit.
Outside of Gunther's, having the quest active that spawns a huge horde of low lvl Charr, then trying it on HM. Sooooo many meteor showers... Oh god...

I was doing Unwaking waters with a pug, two monks in the party, but I quickly realised the team was dying off pretty quickly, and I wasn't even getting healed. Upon inquiring, I learned that both of the monks were SMITING. Maybe I should have asked before hand, but it's been so long since I've seen a smiter, I assumed they were extinct.

It was pretty amusing watching every single member of the party leave once they said it though.

Ritualist spike.

God I HATE their insane firepower.

I once had to nip out to the shops and one thing led to another so as around 5 hours passed i came back to see my character surrounded by hundreds of minions. I had left my elementalist stood next to a portal /res shrine in Scoundrel's Rise and was killed over and over again for about 5 hours by some Grasping Ghoul /Mergoyle and Zombie Warlock's.

I was not amused, plus this was back when there was no limit on minions that was my first ever death leveling experience

that is why people should be nice to monks.
i still go by "no respect, no protect"
an 11 year old called me about 2 different things in 100 different variations each (i counted because it was becoming entertaining after about the 60th). So I told the party "if this kid isn't going to leave/shut-up i'm just not going to heal. i shouldn't have to put up with this little pre-pubescent brat talking smack about me when i said nothing. So tell him to shut-up, and have him follow through with it, or i'm not doing anything from here on out."
good thing that mission was THK


Best way to die:
an Amo... A/Mo with the sin emo hair-style thinking he is oh-so-cool then pops mending and healing breeze and attempts to "tank" better than a wammo (which is not much better) AFTER he shadowsteps into a mob without making sure all the high-energy users are ready.
