The Old Republic Launch Thread

[John Doe]

Went through Mandalorian Raiders at level 28 with two level 25's and a level 21. I was a bit overleveled, but I couldn't find a group to play with when I was the right level so I went off to Tatooine. I was the tank, the 25's were the dps, and the 21 was our healer. The sith assassin had the shittiest internet ever. Yeah...

So we get to the first boss, and I'm pretty OP about tanking because I'm overleveled, but our healer is terrible and it was my first time being a designated tank in any group ever (too many Sith Juggernauts). As we are killing the second dog, our healer dies, with the disconnecting melee dps following shortly thereafter. So it's just me and the Merc, he's at 500 health and I'm less than half that. The merc has heals, but only a little, and the big Mandalorian is coming after him at full health, ready to tear our Merc a new asshole. The two dead baddies are already QQing in chat, yelling at each other about the wipe.

But Shifobrains does not wipe like a bitch. He uses sandpaper.

I fire off a taunt dart and start pulling the big guy back towards me and the poor Merc starts shooting his healing bolts at me. I'm only at 300 health or some shit, so I haul ass away from the big scary guy with the axeclubmacebananasandwich, shooting fire out my butt as the TF2 Medic syringes stab into me. The taunt wore off, and the boss ran back after the Merc. GRAPPLE! COME AT ME BRO, and we dance for another couple of seconds. In the crazy chase at less than 500 health, I managed to put my Guard on the Merc (it was on the shitty healer before) and use Ion Gas to give myself more aggro. The runaround lasted for a good 5 minutes, shooting myself up with shitty healing darts and blowing fire out my ass, but we got him lower than 5k health. I remember seeing our DCing Assassin say "Holy shit you guys are actually going to do it." It ended with a rocket punch to the face, like it should have.

AND I DIDN'T FUCKING RECORD IT, FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
