I guess it depends what else you do. As RDM/BLM sleeper, I'll generally feel obliged to toss a cure onto the puller after they're slept too. And sometimes I'll have been the puller, so I will have cast either break, gravity, slow or para 2 on each mob I pulled too. You usually find it's level 75ish players who do it, so they don't hit for much. Your average 90 melee should hit for 200-300+ in one attack round, pulling hate satisfactorily.Quote:

Seriously, I've got this under control guys, go tickle the other mobs to death so I can get the second nuke off without having to renew Stoneskin. -
08-09-2011, 12:46 AMMeyiThis. DD rarely ever pull with something powerful like a weaponskill, which means a dead black mage. :< I wish they'd leave my sleeping monsters alone because I know what I'm doing...Quote:

the problem is that when the mobs get woken up, in my experiences, it's not using some significant source of damage, that I wouldn't have an issue with...the mobs get woken up with something lame like sandspin or dia or something equally low level and useless at the level most aby mobs are at...it's hard to nuke or sleep or re-sleep or w/e when your "DD allies" are helping the mobs to resist you lol

Luckily BLM gets a very handy spell at dealing with idiot DDs (if they're in your party, anyways)

08-09-2011, 11:46 PMZyeriisThey get 2 such spells. I'm torn on which one is funnier (better).Quote:

When you got no options you take what you get, and I got bird partys in east Ron (s). NOT my 1st choice, but it beat soloing.Quote:

I saw a noob moment yesterday.
Friend needed 2 seals to complete his BST legs. Was in middle of killing Flame Skimmer and we had gotten the trigger, suddenly he pops out into Valkurm.
"F**K!!!!!"
He forgot to add more time, and since he timed out, no last 2 seals for him. -

I kept telling him learn the game before fighting maat. since he knew nothing. -

You know, kinda like the same thing those of us that beat Maat before level sync/smn burn/abyssea did. At least I did, not entirely sure about you and your 1/20 rdm Maat attempts though.Quote:

Before I begin, I was originally Yamimarik on seraph lvl 75BLU,RDM,SMN,DNC and my account got hacked, got it back last year around September of 2010 and logged onto it to find "Yamimarik" had been deleted, I cried nonetheless. So needless to say SE said "I'm sorry unless you can provide us with the exact time of which you're character was deleted we can not roll back your account to retrieve said character have a nice day!" so basically yeah I had to restart if I wanted to play again.
~~~ON WITH THE NOOB NUB STORY! LULZ~~~~
So coming back after a year break and having to restart I decided to lvl BLU first instead of RDM(ended up not lvling RDM anyways blargh!) and to my surprise I actually got decent pts between lvls 1-75 W/O Abyssea interfering in my life(Though it was a god sent when I did finally get to go in!) so my skills and such stayed capped for the most part, any who I was in a lvl 60+ Colibri camp/pt in Bhaflau thickets we had a decent set up for such camp PLD,Me(Blu)RNG/SAM,WAR/SAM(Polearm),DRG,RDM/WHM with a lvl 85 WHM PL(85 was the cap at the time of this party.) so the SAM/RNG(Nebulae for those on Bismarck) kept dying, he would constantly Meditate WS, Hasso WS, Food, WS anything to get hate and not getting behind the PLD or running out of range of cures WS, then die die die die die and go on a HUGE RANT how the PLD was not doing his Job!(PLD being my boyfriend at the time, he was getting really upset because he was afraid he sucked at PLD and I assured him that wasn't the problem in this party...) So I go on to tell the RNG(I'm party leader of this party) That if he wants to stop dying, stop being such a nub and just let the PL or RDM HEAL YOU and stop running the freaking opposite direction(I said it nice the 1st two times, 3rd time I got nasty...) So I did try to be polite, but manners were getting me no where, so finally after the DRG pulled(for god knows why he actually liked pulling so I let him since jerpjerpjerp RNG/SAM was QQ he would die if he pulled, RNG isn't a pulling job, leave him alone!) RNG WS, 2hrd, popped TP wing, WS, Meditated WS, died, all BEFORE my poor BF(the PLD) could even get w/ in range to voke,cure,flash etc.) before I could cure or anything, b4 the PL or RDM could do anything, and the DRG was like (Where did my mob go I was pul... oh the lulzy RNG died, I see now.) So he was all kinds of upset and flustered, screaming at me for not using some kind of useless BLU cure, or the PLD being garbage how his NIN and PLD could tank circles around him, yelling at the PL who just came to help us, yelling at the DRG and the WAR for sucking as DD and nv getting hate over him(he left the RDM alone surprisingly enough lol...) So the DRG switched to RDM to come help PL since the WHM PL left and we got 2 more DD's I was busy /telling the nub RNG b/c he started /telling my BF saying he should quit PLD, quit the game and give up on life and blah blah blah, so of course I got defensive, but started out polite for a quick and hopefully peaceful resolve, he said he was sorry and he didn't mean to lose his temper at anyone, so he left, came back and sent me a tell saying "I'm on BLM/WHM now I'll help PL." the pt didn't like the idea of him being there anymore because he was rude to the entire PT so I asked him kindly to leave, we already had a PL and it was ok ty anyways, he got SO mad at me and started healing us anyways, well we all put up /blockaid for a few pulls except my poor BF was still somewhat upset and didn't see the tell I sent him saying so, so he kept healing my BF until he pulled hate on one of our mobs, ran all the way to where the trolls are in Bhaflau and retraced himself before laughing in /sh "HAHAHAHA nubs! Thats what you get for letting me die on my epic RNG!" In conclusion boys and girls RNG/SAM awesome job for Colibiri yeah! :D Nebulae on RNG/SAM going mental on the entire party for god knows what purposes, OMG a headache and a lol at the end of the day. Modern day nubs, have to love them :D <3 -

One time we were killing the Scorpion NM you pop In Abyssea Altep and we proc Yellow... Then moments later our second mage procs yellow again and every one gets all upset because he just double proced and so then he procs a third time saying, "f you proc again it fixes it!" and we are like. "...No, it doesn't actually.. You just made it worse" and he replies with a
"Oh, my bad."
/facepalm

WAR with +2 (4/5 I saw) and Widowmaker. You think he would know NMs are true sight/sound in Abyssea. He had to have had a little experience with it, right?
Apparently not. Aggro Flame Skimmer, so I dia it and tell him to get the flux. He vokes it off me. I slam my head into my controller. He dies then I die. I tell him to stay down, since he is still missing the flux and we have raise. Get a "thanks anyway" as he homepoints. I tell him to please listen next time.
I am still slamming my controller into my head. -
08-26-2011, 02:50 AMRayikI've had the same thing happen, I might've been in that party.Quote:

Leader yelled at me for dying, but kept yelling at the whm to not heal me either. -
08-26-2011, 03:05 AMNiannyThat reminds me of when I was a whm for the first time in dunes years ago and the leader wanted me to heal the "tank thf" alone at level 10. The thief died and I paniced. After that at least he grabbed a blm to help me and we somewhat got through it. :)Quote:

The one moment I have never forgotten was years ago when I was in this alliance for either paper, tav bell, or coffer key drops. Not sure on the reason anymore. Most of us were under leveled with a few 75 babysitters so it was probably paper. But there was this one PLD who I'm pretty sure was just a kid at the time and still plays to this day. He said something that will go down in my personal history as possibly the #1 Cpt. Obvious comment of all time: "Heal me or I will die" ............................
The kid didn't like riding yellow HP whatsoever. I want to remember people let him die a few times after to shut him up, kind of like proving a point that he hadn't died yet to the point of his comment or whatever but I can't be sure on that. It's been like 6 years since. But that comment will stick with me forever. The day I'm on my death bed I will make it a point to tell the doctor to heal me or I will die, just so I can see his 'no shit' reaction.
Another time that I probably won't ever forget fully but I will only remember it when threads like this pop up, my second day of playing I came across a dead body. I was willing to help so I said wait there I'll go get a reraise scroll. "That sounds like it'll do the trick. Not real sure what the re- means but I know what the raise does." I'm sure the rest of that story will be easy to piece together. I did a RL facepalm telling myself, "NOW I know what RE-raise is..." -
08-26-2011, 08:45 PMAverOh, I tried burning a revival tree root back in 03 when my friend died in KRT while we were duoing to 10. I mean the description of the item kinda leads you to believe it would have the desired effect, no?Quote:

I've explained countless times to people well over level 75 what a magic burst is.
One time at a colibri party back over in ToAU. Level synced DRG asked how to proc healing breath. Party leader /telled me to Trick Attack him to death. I did.
Level 70 Monk asked how to unlock subjobs.
I asked a level 80 to meet me in the Temple of Uggalepih, "I don't have any outpost warps." I asked them if they've ever changed nations. "Nope."
Level 90 BLM complains why retrace was not working. Had never been to the past.
You've seen the pictures of that "Apocalypse Nigh? You mean Shinryu fight?" I can't find the link, I'd post it if I could.
"Rajas Ring? What Abyssea NM does that drop from?" I wanted to strangle someone.
I tell someone that Gurfurlur absorbs magic damage. 5 seconds later she's casting Freeze II.
Outdamaging level 90's as a 75 because they have no capped skills. -
01-09-2012, 08:05 PMAlerithThis one drives me up the wall. At first I thought it was a joke. Anyone who thinks Rajas Ring is an actual Rajas drop needs to die.Quote:
