WTF Horoth, Seriously, WTF!

Just a quick normal ToD with Norg and his bunch last night and the main Horo Tank musta failed his disintegration save right after a blasphemy.  I'm busy shoving my 2 little ol rapiers into Sulu's backside when I hear "Oh Shit, Horoth's loose" followed by a big red shadow over my little halfling Bojax. 

For whatever reason, he decides he wants the bacon in my backpack that I am taking to grandma's and will NOT shift aggro to the FBerz that is now beating on his ass in an attempt to grab aggro.

What will my little 455 HP toon do vs the mighty Horoth that wants my bacon that eats 800HP main tanks for lunch?......  Why, I'll kick his ass and hardly get hit, that's what!  Guess a little AC is useful at end game if it's needed in a pinch as it seems Horo had his issues with my standing 84 AC (left alot on the table as there was no Pally aura or Bard song going) and with my 12 mins of shield clickies handy, there was not much worry about grazing hits.  If it was not for those damn badges and meteor swarm, I seldom would have dropped any HP at all.

In closing, NO, you cannot have my Bacon Horoth so go fuck yourself!  To all those squishy 800HP main tanks, SUCK IT! Grin

Reminds me a funny one...

We were running an off schedule ToD on our alts and had come up one tank short so we pugged out the last spot and snagged a WF Barb as our Horruth tank.  So everything is going well Sally drops.  I'm reconning the Horruth tank and the other caster calls boots off for haste on the Sally tank.  Haste comes and goes then then next Blasphemy comes and there goes Horruth and I have no recon target.  Great main tank just got banished.  All hell breaks loose, we get things settled all the while the main tank hasn't said anything but their HP keeps ticking down from badges till they die.  About 5 minutes after they got banished we hear...  "Hey what happened why and I dead in House D."   Roffle...  the tank swore he had his boots on...sure.  My money is that he took his boots off on the haste call as a reflex and never put them back on. 

tldr Ninja AFK tanking Horruth; Return Dead in House D

Had this happen last night. Really decent group going in on a normal ToD. They ask me to tank Horoth since I have the most HP/DPS combo and can hold hate pretty well. Things are going damn well and I have Horoth down to ~35% solo while the rest of the party beats on Sullo.

However, as soon as Sullo drops, Horoth spins around and charges in the other groups direction like he's ADD without his meds. The Sullo Tank and I try to grab his aggro back but for some reason, he's after the 2 Exploiter builds in the group and wants there flesh.

Needless to say, they die rather quickly and Horoth comes back to full again. Everyone's running about and suddenly, this decent group has dissolved. Clerics run out of mana and pots. dingdingding.

I wanna know what happened? I had kept Nythirios' aggro during part 2 and the Judge's aggro in Part 1 even during my Haste Boost cooldown. Could it be a lag issue? Or what?

Still a pain in the ass though... people bitching about pots the whole time... Does no one know what a melee pays every quest in Repair bills for a shitty group? =P

This was either due to going incap /w DI or general strangeness.

What was the strangest part in my encounter was that after figuring out I had aggro and taking Horo back to the other side, I went into block mode with a shield clickie active to let the Frenzied Barb grab the aggro yet he would not turn and engage them.  I finally just said fuck it and told the group to go back and deal with Sulu while I beat the piss out of him.

Horoth has a long agro memory. He doesnt like to change at all once hes locked on someone.

General strangeness. I never went below 150 HP. I thanked the Cleric a lot after the wipe lol.

He does some weird stuff sometimes.

We lost the tank and I smacked him a couple times so he would stick on me while we got a handle back on the situation. I sat there shield blocking (no intim) for about 15 seconds before the main tank was back in and pounding on him. Horoth still focused on me for another 10-15 seconds before switching back.

I was just clearing out Orthons and Sulo prior to that, so the behavior was a bit unexpected.

Good as-is.  You kinda need to stare at that thing for a few seconds to see what's going on.  It's not like tits flashing in your coworker's face as they walk by... and we've even been pretty lenient on bouncing titties.  They are titties, after all.

Once Horo has set agro it takes some time to change it due to it being a timer event flush triggers the reorder. Eladrin's descriptions of how agro work in this game especially for certain mob is rather interesting...  Each mob type/named has their own.
