The only CR that really sticks out in my mind was on Tallon Zek. I was just strolling through SRo on my level 30-something shaman and I spot the AC. I pull him and dot him up, and I'm so nervous fighting him that I'm visibly shaking... I was 13 at the time, couldn't control my excitement, what can I say. I knew that if I got that ring, I could MQ it and be "rich" (MQs were selling for a lot back then). Anyway, I've got him at about 40%, and two druids show up and start snaring/dotting/nuking me. They were both a little lower, and I turned around for a moment and tried to fight... but I'm thinking no, I've got to get the AC down before they kill me and take it.
In desperation, I start spam-nuking the AC, and I drop him when I'm at about 5%. I know that his prized drop is the ring that everyone wants MQ'ed all the time, so I quickly right click the body, and there it is. The ring. First thing that caught my eye... he had a FS weapon and something else too that I really didn't get a chance to look at. So I right click the ring and die immediately after.
--You have looted a Silver Ring.--
You have got to be kidding me. I'm bound in Grobb, so I am busting my ass back to SRo to get to the body before it unlocks. I get there, and one of the halflings is looting the body. I'm pleading with them to not take the ring, then the halfling gets off the body, and it sparkles away. I was so upset, and so mad at myself that for not knowing that the "ring" actually looks more like a belt.
