The greatest lolwut moments on a duty

I had a tank throw a hissy fit that I was using an atma weapon... in Amdapor Keep.

I once tanked Ifrit.

As a WHM.

So I was doing expert with a pld friend a couple of days ago, we got AK hm, I'm on blm. Well, the first like five? pulls, I notice our other blm is just spamming physick on themself, which then they eventually just start spamming fire 2. Well ok, not perfect but they're doing damage now. Instead of doing blizzard 3 or even tranpose, they just sit there and wait for astral fire to wear off and get mp back >_>
So I tried giving some advice, got no reply or anything. They stood in every single AoE too, repeatedly dying over and over. After a while they just started spamming flare, then waiting for astral fire to wear again, then flaring when they got mp. On the last boss they died about 6-7 times, by never moving out of AoEs or anything.

Now, before you say, it could be someone who's new to blm and trying it out....They had nexus >_> They got through all of relic, all their books and all their lights as blm and have no idea how to play it.
I swear, it had to have been a bot, theres no way someone is that bad



>_> Another lolwut moment was around summer last year, I was lvling war. I had the absolute best gear I could get for my level, as in, the best dungeon gear etc. Well, I had a smn and whm in my pt constantly throwing a fit about how my gear "isn't good enough to tank" etc....what? lol were they expecting a lvl 40 to have full i90+? Best part? the smn was lvl 44, wearing lvl 20-28 gear and the whm was no better lol

---a person queue for Stone Vigil as a SCH. They normally main SMN and after the first pull and subsequent wipe says, "I'm not a healing machine!" without ever having cast a physick.

A about a week ago I was asked to tank a dungeon by a friend, he was blm trying to get to 50 and since I needed exp on my PLD, I agreed. Initially we were going to go into AV but his friend join us and he could only do SV, so I'm like 'meh whatev, exp is exp'.
We go in and our fourth is a level 42 lancer. We were pretty dumbstruck. So the blm asks why he was still a lancer?
The answer was 'because I'm lazy" after a few failed attempts to speak to him, you know- just in case.... we gave up trying to make logic of it.

Funniest part was at start when the blm was like 'You don't even have a neckpiece' and the lancer responded, 'here, a mage neck piece just for you' and wore it the entire run. When we finally killed the pekaboo dragon a mythril earring dropped and the LNC got it, the blm responds 'should have given you a damned neckpiece'
and our healer chimed in 'it's ok, the earring is for mages too'.
I died a little. XD

Saddest part of it all was, he wasn't a terribad player except for the whole not being a DRG and the improper gear in certain slots.

I kite the slime boss as tank just because I can. My "game" for this encounter is to kite the slimes in such a way that they're virtually just turning around in the same place yet can't land a hit on me.

It isn't always what it seems on the surface. You know... ;)

(•_•) It looks like
( •_•)>⌐■-■ not a single DPS
(⌐■_■) escaped from the crumbling walls

(Video happened to end at the "From the crumbling walls no one escapes" part of the lyric, hence the joke)

Shiva Ex - want-to-clear group, was one of the few who cleared it already, but need some Gems for my final Shiva 115 Weapon.
Tank dashed off, even before Safespots were declared or Protes was given. (Quote: "I don´t give a F*** for Protes")...

Every major AoE, 1-2 DDs died, in the big circle half the team ate Stacks like fresh muffins...

Healed the hell out of it, and cleared it after about the 5th try, (didn´t think this would happen).

the topping: Pony came (don´t care really for mounts, but nice to have anyway), tought "I so deserve this", rolled a respectable 80... tank outrolled me...

Two stand outs for me from all my dungeon runs:

The lv 50 SCH in Brayflox NM who kept running out of mana. Literally had to explain the whole Aetherflow concept to him.
The SMN in Garuda EX who, when I asked why she didn't have a pet out, replied 'Because it's too much trouble, so I never use it". I think I still have the spacebar imprint on my forehead from headdesking so hard.

Hmmm lolwuts... too many to count but a few that are amusing:

Queue for drlow get tamtara - tank quits at start - I say let's see how far we can go(while at the same time asking for tanks in LSs and FCs). We make it to first boss - kill it, second boss - kill it, last boss - while fighting him one of my friends joins in progress but by then we kill it hehe.

While leveling my THM I get into iffy nm - new player notice so ok might be a wipe or two... tank rushes off to start tanking it... I position myself and start DPSing... tank runs all over the place with iffy so I pop some CDs and soon I'm tanking iffy nm while healer is keeping me up - and we clear it.

Biggest lolwut - CT at Behemot(and this was when i90 was still relevant).

Alliance chat: who's OT?

NO SINGLE TANK SAYS A WORD.

So I go: ok I'll tank iron giants on my bard. One of our healers goes: ok I'll keep you up.

Yes with 6 tanks in the group I as the bard was the one tanking the iron giants and that's without dying once.
