We definitely learned a little bit of the strat on this first go 'round on the Chicago RL Raid:

1) Someone body-pulled aggro on a security guard at 6-Flags when we broke though the barrier. Though we had performed the customary "ready check" when we left the cars and headed in, we weren't prepared for the battle so soon into the instance. Luckily, we had enough in the raid to CC the mob and others to heal. Alas, we were triumphant and we moved on to the next wing. I believe the /ignore spell was the most effective.

2) There are heights at which Tony and Lauren become "done" and as ineffective as any can be in heavy movement fights. DPS was diminished. This awareness came during a fast-moving battle in a very tall roller-coaster. Lauren had to just close her eyes and pray no-one was hit with the puking spell from Festergut, and Tony got a debuff that continually tic'd "no more rides" every few seconds.

3) Nick (Aloris) was ill-prepared for the Awkward Salmon frontal cleave dealt by Dee's (Shynei) twin sister, though I'm told he did come prepared for the wet trout and staple-gun. At least he didn't run out of ammo ... it's more likely Megan (Nick's girlfriend) took it away from him.

4) Jen and Tony were the two who spent the most time out of range from the sun-block aura that Lauren cast every so often. However, though she was the one providing the buff, it had diminishing returns on her own nose. Don (Gerhart) also suffered from out-of-range exposure to the sun's damaging aoe effect; and because of this, we were able to teach Tony (from the UK) where the term "redneck" comes from.

5) Several people pulled and held Albert aggro. The nine-year-old spawn of Chris (Iantha) was a formidable foe, but easily managed once the age-old strat was put into play. Confuse, baffle, misdirect, and say whatever came to your mind. Since none of it worked, it all worked.

6) Dave saw Lauren get damaged from a mustard spill on her right ... um ... chest piece. He offered to cast a /lick heal, but she had already applied her own bandage.

7) Alex (TK) was mind-controlled in the courtyard zone and was easily controlled, pummeled, and left for dead by Dave (also, Alex's dad) who used the "size" trinket whereby the little runt could be bounced up and down on ... and up and down on again.
