hrm i have so very very many...
most recently, 9 deaths over 2 days to Charybdis, a mob that i have DUO'd many many times for other people. When it is finally my time to get my Joytoy after 5+ years.
back-story: After having seen Lemming solo charby as nin/dnc, i immediately decide to purchase WotG. i open and level dnc to 40. then start camping charby. Now i will say i dont have the super primo gear thats out there, mine isnt horrible, but it could be better. so Sitting there camping, a group of people show up and start asking me "you hear for ToD?" I respond "no, i'm gonna solo". ofcourse i get a few laughs and chuckles and promises of "hell, we might pass it to you just to see you try". Meanwhile one of my friends shows up, a 66Rdm.
he is asking what is going to happen etc. I talk to them for a bit and we have a loose kind of agreement. SO i inform my friend and the rest of the shell that if they claim him and pass him to me, they are to stay away and do nothing. If i claim him and my solo attempt fails miseably, try to kill him.
so after a few hours of sitting there, sure enough charby pops. I aske the group there, what are we going to do, i get no response, so i go grab charby and bring it back and start to solo. 10 secs into fight and charby drops me to like 37hps. i think, well i lasted longer than i thought. but shadows go back up and i start spamming curing waltz II. i manage to keep going. 10 mins later, my buddy says "just tell me when to jump in" i'm like uhh now would be good.
so he jumps in and we start really going to town. my whole LS is scrambling cause they think we are in dire trouble. 45 mins into the fight, charby is at like 75% and my LS starts showing up. Now mind you, at this point, i have been fighting charby for over an hour, 45 mins of which duoing with a 66 RDM.
so they get there, we start chewing charby up, at 1% charby goes into an AOE spamm fest. kills EVERYONE in my group. 2nd group claims and i think one of the mages dropped an AOE and killed charby.
now, the next day, i get claim on charby again with me as nin/dnc, a 75 smn, and 2 RDMs. Must have just been a good day for charby cause he ATE us... repeatedly. i even took a raise, went back to Norg, changed to /war, came back, waited on a LS mate to come as sam, then claimed, died a few more times. Ended up joining up with a group that showed up about 2 hours into this fiasco. He killed them so i end up kiting charby, while weakend, twice... till they get raised and unweakend. then we finally kill the *******, and the two of us who want the sword lot.... I lot 7...7...
9 deaths (of my own) several others died a few more / few less times on a fight i have duo'd numerous times. ****** days.....
