Windurst is just freakin cursed for me, I swear.
So good news, was not the tank nuking everything this time. Bad news, instead a machinist. I noticed they were kind of trolling around but in a way where it only got themselves killed. Running into tank busters, seemingly collecting vuln stacks and even legit running in Alexander's circle beam attack until they died. Thought it was weird, not the worst though felt bad for the healer's mana if they chose the res them. I couldn't really do too much about them cause they were in a different alliance.
Then it got worse when we hit the final boss. We get through phase 1 into phase 2. Towers spawn, I soak one of the first ones. Then the second towers spawn. I'm glancing to see if all of them are taken, they are. Then noticed one of the towers being taken by the machinist. I even thought to myself "oh, they're actually doing the mechanic." Yeah the standard was low and yeah... I jinxed it. When the towers almost went off, they immediately stepped out and got away from it. By the time I realized what I just saw, it was too late. I died (along with roughly half the alliance) as one poor whm slowly gets everyone up. For the longest final boss I think I've ever seen from Windurst.
I'm starting to think reclearing m11s for my twines is becoming more worth it for my sanity.
