Arien said:Obviously not.They had plenty of people up to continue kiting him around until they could recover. I've seen it happen many times on Kirin where a lot of people go down due to one reason or another and 3-4 people can keep him occupied while others recover. You totally stole that Kirin, no question about it.
Some wipes are recoverable, some aren't. It depends where people die, what jobs are alive, ext. When you fight the pops in the very middle of the room, as had happened in that situation, then Kirin and company return to the center upon losing hate.
To kite a pop you need some sort of job that can well... kite it. Some sort of survavability. Someone who can either run faster than the kited mobs, someone to gravity the mob, ext. BoL had in that case too many Kirin + 3 additional summoned gods. The corpses were all in the middle, meaning they must all be kited without 1 death to recover. In my opinion, which I deem expert, this is a loss. From the shouts of some BoL members telling people to take it, this is a loss.
The point that there was some merit to against us was about the conflict within the time slot, which preempted them popping Kirin early when they weren't completely ready. Mostly our fault for telling them we weren't going to pop another Kirin anyway so take their time.
