Wipe

When all 40 raiders, well now 25 raiders, run back to the instance because someone fucked up. The main source of these came from the player named Prurient.

One can rest assured that if there is a way to wipe in an encounter, CSM has discovered and performed it. A list of classic/common CSM wipes to encounters follows.

Note: Wipe is not officially declared until at least 3 raid members yell "WIOTE!!!"

General Phenomena

• HEY GUYS, THIS IS CODENAME, I JUST DOTTED ALL THE SHEEPS
• Healers running out of mana, presumably because they did not bring at least fifty Night Dragon's Breaths per Shadowalker's orders.
• Following a wipe, healers getting too close to the boss to resurrect dead players.
  • Whitemage has caused this kind of wipe in every tier of raid content to date.
• As Whitemage, turning on TriviaBot at any time, in any channel.

Molten Core

Lucifron

• Having a tank be Mind Controlled into a nearby pack of imps.

Sulfuron Harbinger

• As Fallen, pulling Sulfuron -- while dead. (Don't ask me how he did it.)

Blackwing Lair

Razorgore

• As Blackmage, Frost Nova-ing half the mobs that Jody is kiting around the room.
• As the Orb controller, attempting to break the eggs while they are green, so as to slow down dragonkin spawns.

Vaelastrasz

"THE NEXT PERSON WHO FUCKS UP, I AM GOING TO FIND OUT WHERE YOU LIVE,
COME TO YOUR HOUSE, DRAG YOU OUTSIDE AND FUCKING CURBSTOMP YOU!"

– Alys, Motivational Speech Following Wipe #879 on Vaelastrasz

• As Shadowalker, pulling aggro and getting the raid fire-breathed, several months after the instance has been placed on farm status.
• As Necron, pulling aggro and getting the raid fire-breathed, several months after the instance has been placed on farm status.

Flamegor

• As Fallen, lacking the ability to properly Tranq shot the boss.

Ebonroc

• As Manbeast hitting Ebonroc with Mocking Blow at around 25%.

Nefarian

• As Stormcrow, talking to Lord Victor Nefarius with Turn-In enabled, particularly when the raid is most assuredly not-ready.
• As Vrak, healing so much that you're pulling aggro on newly-spawned mobs. Hrangar would never make such a mistake.
• As Hrangar, spamming Prayer of Healing as Nefarian lands, such that repeated Earth Shocks and every warrior threat-producing ability in the game will not pull him off of you.

Zul'Gurub

High Priestess Mar'li

• As a full raid of CSM mains, pulling the boss.

Jin'do the Hexxer

• As Padmaja, engaging your warrior alt in a duel to the death while dual-boxing both and one is mind controlled by Jin'do the Hexxer. Not really a wipe, but awesome enough to merit mention.

Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj

General Rajaxx

• As Infinite, speaking to the NPC with the Turn-In mod on. Not as bad as when Stormcrow did it, though.

Moam

• As Taru, repeatedly failing to banish your elemental spawn before it is able to slay multiple healers.

Temple of Ahn'Qiraj

• Running circles through the raid on phase one because you're Shadowalker's coworker and Shadowalker didn't RP the encounter with you.
• As Atena, running across the room entrance and getting the raid Eye Beamed prematurely. Not really a wipe, because only Caedmon dies.
• As Shadowalker's coworker, attempting to bandage while in the stomach. Not really a wipe, but probably one in spirit.
• As Carine, attempting to Nature's Swiftness / Healing Touch yourself through C'Thun's Dark Glare. Not really a wipe, but prolifically stupid enough to mention here.

Naxxramas

Instructor Razuvious

• Resist on the initial Mind Control.
• As Blizzard, changing the mechanics of Ice Block.
• As Whitemage, the Mind Controller going LD fifteen times, due to playing in a library. He later lost this job.

• As Hrangar, being heal-silenced when it is your turn to heal. Additionally, informing everyone on Ventrilo that you are fizzled for twenty seconds before and afterwards.
• As Hrangar, forgetting that his heal macro was set up to target last week's tank in Fumanchu, and not the current tank in Jody.

Gruul the Dragonkiller

• Pulling the boss at a time such that the zone's last trash pull will respawn mid-attempt. Will invariably happen during what appears to be an otherwise flawless attempt.
• As Blackmage, going LD at the start of the fight, killing two other people during Shatter and causing the raid to come up a few percent short. Never mind that he was constantly bitching about never getting into 25-man raids.

• As Manbeast, running down into the room as though the encounter were in its bugged phase two state.
