So what are you supposed to do if…
5 people are Web Wrapped? The Human racial doesn’t work, nor does PvP Trinket or LIP/FAP.
Am I missing something vital? What’s the counter?
Then you wipe and redo.
That stuff happen quite often.
Just make sure everyone hugs and noone runs behind.
These affixes are just made to be tedious and annoying, you can get completely screwed quite fast.
Same as the Gundrak/DTK one, Blood spawning under boss while they are casting a spell and can’t be moved? sucks to be you i guess, instant 100% hp and no way to avoid it.

Never seen this or experienced a 5 man web. Something must´ve gone horribly wrong in your group. Dps sleeping or even the tank.
If you pull a group 1 by 1 this is very unlikely to happen.
Edit: There is a aoe webattack which the 3 guardian mobs do. This is not to be confused with the heroic Plus affix.

Happened on Anub’arak, last boss. During intermission phase.
But how. There are not nearly enough mobs for all 5 people to get webbed. Even if that did happen, what did the mobs do? seing as the web dropps threat, they should´ve just stood still and do nothing?

web does not drop threat, and it has happeened to me in anub’s room too. i avoid all hc+ except old kingdom at this point
You stay stacked, keep aoe rolling and cleave them passively. Webs, unlike mirror images, are targeted automatically and damaged by aoe abilities. They only have 1000hp, so a simple aoe ground effect will almost instantly pop it.
If on boss like Anub’arak you all stay spread, it’s gameover, on 3rd adds phase you will all get webbed very fast.
It was on the 3rd add phase, indeed.
2x Guardian
2x Venomspitter
3x Non-Elite adds that fly in
7 Adds, but pre-stacking and AoE is nice advice, thanks!

Y that phase is the worst, this is when we pop offensive CDs as well 
2 Guardians spawn, everyone is in melee range killing these 2 (ofc moving a bit on spike), small ones keeps comming and getting cleaved quite quickly. You should be able to kill Guardians before Venomspitters come.
Also stuns helps, since web only spawns when mob is using melee attacks (for example paladins can do holy wrath for mass 3s stun, since these mobs are undead).
Personally, I think Anub’arak is the hardest H+ boss, and a lot of people underestimate it
Oh, but it does drop threat.
More precisely it works like Invulnerability Skills. If you do those in group content the mobs will ignore you and move to your allies only attacking you if you’re the only one alive or everyone is invulnerable. Your threat is still there but because you’re not “valid target” the mobs will attack the second person. This is why Stacking despite being valid strategy is still dangerous in places like Old Kingdom. Cultists in Jeroga section hit deceptively hard and come in packs of 4. There is non zero chance that if you as a tank are webbed and others are stacked onto you that the frailer DPS like say the mage will die before AoE removes the web from you.

Fair enough.
My favourite is when the tank gets web wrapped and loses threat mid cast of Anub’Arak’s Pound

Sounds almost as fun as receiving Glaciate just as Ymiron throws AoE Fear/Stun

Or just about every Gundrak boss casting Poison Nova/Earthquake/Surge/Eck Spit/Whirlwind right after spawning a Blood of the Loa pool under themselves 
Damn it seems like the only Gimmicks I have nothing on are Ulduar ones, Blue Dragonflight ones and Stratholme.
Mostly because Ulduar one just makes fights mire tedious danger really coming in HoS when you’re getting overwhelmed in a gauntlet fight (so a DPS check), Blue Dragonflight dungeons rarely have such numbers that Mirror images can do uncontrollable stuff and Stratholme being dispellable by any healer bar Druid.

The Azjol heroics are usually griefed by casters/healers who refuse to move into the stack before planting their feet.
Quintuple wrap wipes don’t happen when everyone is on top of one another, especially not with things like Rets which passively cleave to begin with.
Kill mobs faster. You had too many mobs alive if you got web wrap. GIT GUD!
Except staying in stack also isn’t safe. Short story, joined Old Kingdom run. Decently geared group including hunter and Mage so very good AOE. With some adventures we got to the clutists before 4th boss. 4 of them in a pack, we stack. In one second I got webbed and mage just died. Like that the next attack dropped them from full to zero. We lost a source of AoE and mobs prepared to tear others apart though by then i was freed. Only to get caught again as we lost Healer. We wiped. Then it happened a second time and we decided to skip the boss.
Because your tank is stu… because he pulls a big pack when you are at 15min of him.
You have to go with him exactly at the same time and even starting AoE to kills cocoon.
