today's bit of Bozja Excitement(tm): someone pulled a star mob into a skirmish! you know, the mobs that two-hit tanks and have dangerous group mechanics to boot
(at least, I'm assuming they all do! this particular one had untelegraphed. coincounter. mechanics. not great when everyone's distracted by a bunch of imperials swarming them!)
/shout chat went from quiet to RIOTING in an instant. ("LMAO WHO PULLED" "STAR MOB" "RUN") there are actually ways to cheese these mobs, but they require a specific lost action that otherwise has no use in most of the southern front, and no one was expecting this!
somehow I managed to grab its attention (it probably helped that people were scattering in all directions instead of attacking it) and led it away in the opposite direction until it reset. pretty spooky since I was on dancer and not running any defensive essences, but dancer at 80 also has three charges of En Avant and it turns out that things can't kill you if they never catch up to you.
someone in chat was like "thanks lucent, you're a real one." thank you kind stranger, I'll treasure this to my dying day
