The worst part is that Mage's Ballad and Ewers used to work for us, even while in AF, so it wasn't as if we should've expected any different for LD. But nope, the only useful part of LD is the enmity...

I remember when SB first dropped and I was so happy about getting LD: Finally, another source of MP for me to squeeze in just one more Fire/Fire IV!

Then I realised it doesn't work.

You mixed up their enmity effects. Also, if a BLM drops below the required MP for Blizzard, which is impossible unless they're in Astral Fire, they can use the level 4 skill of Transpose to get an...

Well, I decided to go as DRK for Leveling Roulette. Turns out that was a terrible idea, because then I ended up in Doma Castle, as a level 67 DRK, with a total ilvl of 277, while using an ilvl 270...

You don't need ranged DPS to take out those orbs, you just need DPS who don't suck ass. The only completely unavoidable things that Charibert does, are the fire chains and his roomwide AoE. The fire...

Alliance roulette as RDM. Dun Scaith.

We didn't really have any trouble until we hit Diabolos Hollow, at which point everything promptly went to hell in a handbasket. Mostly due to:

- The...

A "returning player" WHM, clearly new to Keeper of the Lake, yet doesn't say a word about it or even ask for advice. DRK does a large, yet easily manageable pull of 7 mobs, almost dies because this...

I found out today, that healing in Rabanastre is the most difficult godsdamned thing on the planet when your co-healer refuses to even heal themself when they're low on HP. You'd think an AST in Noct...

It probably was the same run. I'll clarify, though: The wipes and failure were annoying, but they didn't necessarily infuriate me as much as the people who refused to participate, or spent all their...

So. Alliance raid as BLM. Dun Scaith. Which took over a solid hour to complete.

Highlights include:

- Everyone dying to the simplest of things.
- Even people who had supposedly completed it...

So half an hour before reset, Expert Roulette popped for me. Skalla. I was glad I was BLM, because that means I can at least guarantee that I had decent DPS. And the RDM was ilvl 330+, the DRK about...

Leveling roulette as BRD dropped me into Dzemael Darkhold, and I wish I could use my preferred nickname for that place without getting banned. Anyway, the party was a SCH, and a PLD and SAM who were...

For a change of scenery, I decided to play AST... in Rabanastre.

The party wiped twice at Mateus, and I didn't stick around to die any more. Highlights include:

- My co-healer replacing my AoE...

So I decided to queue for Expert Roulette, as PLD, while I was half-asleep. Skalla loads in, an AST and 2 BRDs. I warned them that I was tired as hell, and off we go.

At some points, it got a tad...

So today, I ran Rabanastre, again, as SCH, again. To make it simple: lots of DPS died for very stupid reasons. Such as: standing in perfectly avoidable AoEs, and perhaps the most infuriating:...

Rabanastre as SCH. Actually, it wasn't bad at all. There were no wipes, and I only died once during the entire run (and not even to Hashmal). I'm just here because, since my co-healer was also a SCH...

I just got out of tanking a Sirensong Sea that featured a BLM. Spamming Blizzard IV. On double pulls.

Fun fact: I was the only non-mentor in the run.

I love the Haunted Manor to bits. That said, can it just be a solo instance? Please? I'm truly sick of wasting my time with idiots who start opening random boxes in Jack in the Box and killing the...

A DRK walks into Skalla, with all of 46k HP. Does big pulls, fails to maintain aggro, lets DPS die (not helped by the fact that said DPS don't seem to know how to avoid mechanics), then at the end,...

SCENE: Castrum Meridianum, a very long time ago.

CAST: 2 ASTs, myself being one of them.

The other AST was barely doing their job, forcing me to keep everyone alive. In addition to this, I...

Well, I had all healers at 70 before ever touching WAR, so these WHMs were just extra painful to watch because I knew their strengths and limitations in those dungeons, and the fact that they just...

After that Dun Scaith run, I went as WAR for 50/60 roulette. Sohr Khai, again with a WHM, then a DRG and SAM.

I... don't think I ever once saw this WHM cast Holy. Or Assize. Their main idea of...

So roulette drops me into Dun Scaith as PLD. By some trick of DF, my alliance consisted of 2 WHMs, 4 BRDs, and a RDM. In fact, all 6 healers for that run were WHMs. This is much less fun than it...

So for fun, I dusted off my WAR and went tanking. I made sure to inform every party I landed in, of my lack of knowledge where WAR is concerned.

Leveling roulette. Stone Vigil, with a WHM using...

Trials Roulette as BRD. Lakshmi.

It actually went well. No wipes, cleared it in 1 shot, though at some points it was shaky and my DPS was lacking because hey, I suck at BRD. All I can be...
