Death rage!

[goingmyway]

Rage and a tip for those going on an ironman run: (Level 18 priest so yeah it sucks but nothing I can't do over, I guess. Still, it was the WAY I died)
You know that last lillian voss quest in the undead starting area? At the end of it she goes to kill her dad and yay the day is saved or whatever? Well, THAT didn't happen for me. So we get up to her dad (tried avoiding the mobs on the way since she one-shots them and I felt that it was in the ironman spirit to avoid the free xp), and I Shadow Word Pain one of the adds in there since I forgot it goes into a new phase to show her killing them all. No biggie, so I think for 2 seconds as Lillian does her edgy lil' speech. Suddenly, I'm losing health, and I'm not even in combat. While I was stuck watching Lillian's little rehearsal in that mini phase shift, the three scarlet crusade adds in the REAL world were wailing on me while all I could do was heal. When Lillian was done I was hoping I'd be able to kill them, as priest has tons of survivability, so maybe I could outheal them! How naïve I was, as it wasn't until I had no mana left that they appeared for me, so it was then that I realized it was all over. So just a tip for people still enjoying ironman runs as I do:
Escort quests, no matter how OP your escort may be, will STILL screw you over. Don't risk it.

Went AFK in Oh'naran plains on a level 66 and came back dead. In an inn. Fyrakk invaded while I was away and one shot me.

2 hours later, playing on a different character, level 63. Do a quest where I have to kill water/air shamans and earth shamans in the Waking Shores. Earth shamans cast a spell that reduces me from 100 to 0 in a few seconds, I believe it was something called "Earthen Hold". The name of the mob itself escapes me. Every other spell it casted did normal damage. Really bizarre. Really frustrated.

RIP. Yeah Fork's River Inn is not a safe place when Fyrakk is roaming around. Always better to not go AFK or log out at an inn in the zone where Fyrakk assault is going on

The mobs are called Earthbound Primalist. They are a quest objective for "Preserving the Wilds" together with Windborne Primalist. Earthen Hold one-shot my scout but you can safely do the quest by killing only Windborne Primalists.
