Every time I do this run and people start attacking pre-white light, no matter what I say, I just stand back and watch as Ultima just bounces around from person to person. >_> Annoying as WHM because I have to potentially join that chaos and heal someone, but hilarious on Bard... then I get to stand back and stare at Ultima twirl around like a ballerina.

2 days ago, or something like that, in Stone Vigil Hard, a crazy Warrior was pulling everything, as many monsters he could take before getting stuck by a gate or something, even the last 10-12 monsters that hit hard and does AOE.

I did success to heal this, but it was all the time crazy, almost did myself 1-2 times and the tank also (thx benediction)

Usuaully, tanks take 2 packs of 3 monsters, sometime, when they feel confident, 9, but t was the first time I saw a tank taking more, and it was also the first time, I didn't had time to do even one Holy.

There is probly some WHM that goes there in team and do this all the time, but with ppl that I didn't know, I was surprise (I think the 2 blm where friends with the tank)

It's possible he was doing this because there were two BLMs xD - In the assumption of having double the Flare spam

Yes, it's this, the 12+ monsters where dying really fast, it was crazy, but worth'it.

Ah, another rare female playing male? xD (or 'reverse cross-dresser' as my old RO guild called me >_>)

XD
Yeah female playing a male, dunno why, always have done always will do. Think the reason why is because a lot if female voices in RPGs are like nails on a chalkboard.

Is funny when raids find out I'm female, I've been asked my breast size, had my ass complimented and been accused of lying and that I'm a 50 year old virgin in disguise xD

I feel like this was more an issue with just the healer being bad rather than being a conjurer. Possibly undergeared.

The worst is when you have horrible DPS that keep getting hit by things that they could avoid if they actually tried. Using up all your MP to keep them alive, and then when they DO die, you instantly see "rez plz" in chat. I'll usually humor them with it if we haven't wiped yet. But on the second time around, I'm all business. And if that means I have to leave them dead and focus on just me and the tank to save MP and to get the job done, then that's what I'll do.
I actually found that my first time fighting titan, after MULTIPLE wipes, that once both DPS fell off the edge... the fight became a LOT easier. XD

I'm sorry, did you just mention 90% of the Dragoons in Eorzea?

Just came out of Ifrit HM... I did it 2-3 other times in a row, along with Garuda HM mixed in ('join party in progress' is a blessing I've only now just noticed o.o), almost non-stop, no problem. We wiped them with the floor. And then... Ifrit pulls early (I was too busy selecting names to stoneskin to see who/what/where/when/why), bounces around on everyone, second tank had to afk in the middle (though, I thought he was trying to be carried, at first, and got annoyed... and there fore became selective in my healing of them >.>;;; ). The other healer was SCH so slightly less aggro than the cure IIs I had to spam on the DPSes x.x ... Ifrit decided I'd be an awesome chew toy :| I ended up tanking it for a little bit (I feel so abused T^T). I don't know how I didn't die o_o (Thank you, SCH!). The DPS kept dying x.x but part of it was bad timing/luck (raising into plumes, etc x.x). We ended up beating it as two tanks, two healers.
On the upside, we were applauded for good heals ^^; I was just too in a state of "o_______o .... *Still auto-panicking*" to think of anything to say, after all that...
