Just a little humor for your day - Dances-With-Gargoyles

DragonRacer · April 29

I've finally been getting into trials the past year and have started entering the vet trial realm recently with the normal trial group I learned with. A few weeks ago, we did our first try at vHRC hard mode and the raid lead wanted me to try a strategy as off-tank of keeping the gargoyles away from the group while they focused main boss. Me having no idea quite what to expect and him completely forgetting to warn me that in the final phase, you go from roughly two gargoyles to ten (or more? I found it hard to count afterwards...) as they all bust free. I was running for my life, but looking behind at the pack following me around was honestly one of the most hilarious and fun things I've ever done in ESO.

As soon as we cleared, I said I have GOT to find a way to set my POV to the song that was playing in my head the entire time I was trying to pull this off. I finally got around to it and enough folks have gotten a laugh from the absurdity that I wanted to share here.

So, if you need a laugh, here's two minutes of sped up chaos as one little lone Bosmer ArcTank has the time of his life.

(Also, ZOS, thank you so much for Arcanist, it's my favorite class to tank with. So much fun!

Thanks! The unedited version is roughly a 6 minute long herding of the gargoyles with me just maniacally laughing every few minutes because it's just absurd, especially when they all start fist-slamming the ground. LOL

When I saw the thread title, I imagined argonian character using dance emotes around Gargoyle mobs...

Even after reading your description, I was not prepared to suddenly see so many Gargoyles at 0:37

Do you have original footage of them smashing the ground at 0:52 ? I think it would look epic with some heavy metal or club music added!

It also gives me some painful flashback: when few years ago veteran dungeons were buffed and I joined random group to tank vet Banished Cells 2. I will never forget large pack of Daedroth mobs I had to taunt because of low damage group and improved final boss health. Luckily, I had all monster masks from old easier runs, so I never returned to this dungeon again.

Yeah, I always cracked up watching the video of our trial runs and seeing the off-tank leading those gargoyles around in circles in the background!

All those flapping wings! Lol

Gg!

@Fischblut Here is an upload of the gargoyle fight in real time (about 6 minutes) with the original (poorly-mixed, that was a balance learning error on my part) audio. The final phase full chaos bust-out happens at 1:45 in and some examples of the 10+ fist-slams into the ground occur around 2:30, 2:54, 3:18 and more I stopped counting LOL
