Know this pain so well thankfully mostly happens when I'm bored and doing low level dungeons for the fun of it or helping someone in FC get in faster. Had one Tank like that in Cutter's Cry no flash heal them at the last second waiting for them to touch more than one mob. Face tank two mobs while DPS kill them Tank says "If you take aggro off me and you die that's your own fault"Quote:

He's a nightmare to keep alive but i kind of like the fun of it so i go on not saying anything and we get to final boss. He then takes every single blue AoE and dies like 4 times saying he was sure he dodged it and then i get annoyed finally at which point he rezes out and quits. We finish the boss 3 man without the Tank. I've never seen anything like it before or since XD.

The who's run took as bit over an hr. Dps didn't know what to do at 2nd boss since when he start shooting the blm, the blm just run around the room in circle. I wasn't parsing but our dps must be extremely low because I was literally out of mp in every boss fight. The last boss took us around 15 mins to kill. I was extremely happy when we finally got it done that I just took off. Didn't bother to loot or wait for commendation.
Tanked for normal Brayflox, had a healer who was oblivious to debuffs. Healer spent more time in the final boss spamming heals instead of curing poisons that would stack. By the time he would remove poison, it was already too late as our ninjas didn't have enough HP to survive the toxic goo attack from the dragon. It took us 3 wipes until the healer had to be told to cure poison.
Multiple disconnects as WHM, when I finally got into Ultima HM -3-
Multiple disconnects the next day as monk, when I finally got into Ultima HM >_<

I dunno which is worse - multi-disconnecting while trying to support as a healer (I spammed a cure three, then medica at one point because last I remember we were all running to an orb to explode it when I noticed lagging out for the second or third time - and I assumed we'd be in close enough range at that point), or multi-disconnecting when trying to help/motivate a party full of first-timers (I like helping people >_> so I felt like I was being forced into abandoning them)
Even worse, I hope I didn't come off as one of those silent rage quitters, on either timing (as I have no qualms doing trials over and over again as long as people aren't troll-failing)
This was more of an experience I had in SV HM the dungeon loads and our healer didn't have his WHM soul stone we try to get past the first mini boss.... repeatedly.. needless to say we had to vote abandon because it was not going to work
Not a horror story on my part, but I ran Halatali today with my archer, and it was pretty obvious the tank was still getting used to tanking. The tank would aggro mobs by running into them, but would never use flash. I didn't think much of it because, eh, there's a first time to everything. The healer pointed out that flash would be helpful, but his usage was still very minimal. So for every mob, I waited until he had decent aggro on the mob and then I would attack it. Even then I would get aggro (and I was a lower level than him). It didn't help that the rogue in our group kept running into the mobs first, so every member of the party had something aggroed on them. And an extra bonus: During the Firemane boss, I was killing the flame adds and I see the tank come over to take aggro. I was like: o.o but then he just focused the boss after. Once that was over, he said, "ranger stop running away". My response: :| and the healer was even like, "she's doing it the right way dawg".
Mog HM...
I'm used to zipping through this trial but we had some new players - I'm fine with that. So live and learn about the moogles/not touching the king till x moogles are dead, etc. I don't mind wiping if people learn.
But thats not the horror.
Something happened where everyone wiped super fast, and I don't even know wtf happened. o_O It was just me and a tank, just holding on for dear lives while the LB 3 bar was juuuuussst inching to the end of full.
About one or two more ticks until it was full and what do I see? Nothing but blue AoE and dying tank. I didn't even see or hear the LB meter ding, just "omfg this is the end BUT IF I CAN GET OUT FAST ENOUGH I CAN SAFELY LB RIGHT AFTER."
Nope. The spread was too much and wiped.
I should have just hit the button to LB. -.- But my concern was living long enough to complete the cast for it to even do anything. I should have attempted anyway.
Ball dropped by over caution ._.
I could have done awesome T^T I could have saved the day! T^T
*Seppuku x 100*
It's not that I don't LB unless I'm safe - I've knowingly and willingly taken multiple eruptions to the face to do it, but.... I knew for a fact this moment would insta-kill me x.x
Also.... I keep getting pugged ninjas in both low AND HM dungeons who think they're tanks by running into everything BEFORE tanks. On everything. Mobs, bosses, everything.
Granted, the last ninja that did this had just 400 less HP than the tank but still! HP is not DEF! D:
Reminds me of the time the BLM said "Screw this let me tank, I have as much HP as they do" >_> and then proceeded to fight for the aggro, against the tank.
Just had to do AV for my animus book, and we had a BLM who would only use Fire III, followed by Blizzard III....over and over again....for the entire dungeon. We all tried to be helpful and explain the basics of the BLM class to him and how it all worked, but he didn't listen and just stated that his way was better. I lost count of the number of times the Mistress at the end sowed fruit, lol. Thank god the monk in the group understood how to AOE, lol.
