Clearly, you do need a hug...
As for the MNK in WoD... Im puzzled myself, I've tried WoD to gear up some classes but... if I go MNK, there will be other MNK in party. If I go BLM, there will be other 3 BLM in party. If I go BRD its the same!!!

05-13-2015, 01:18 AMtechnoleYeah, coming from both sides it isn't easy at all for a tank with that stray add in DD. You can shield lob/tomahawk all you want, those things are not getting into the white floor. Fluid Aura, Holmgang, and/or sleep is perfect. I always have the provoke for that one ready because they like to hate the healers.Quote:

So, right now I'm facing having to rethink my crossbars and habits since I've started leveling at the Stone Vigil instance, so everyone hates me right now. Everything hits really hard now.

I don't know what this was.

Oh well, not going back for a while. Not till I get rid of this tick. *twitchtwitch*
LOL yeah, I don't see them in there, often, myself now that you mention it. But every now and then....
Except dhsjfs MNK drops seem to be rare -.- -
05-13-2015, 04:40 AMsciondarTrue, things hit a little harder there but it's also easy to aggro too many mobs at once plus there are a couple spots that are repeating traps essentially and can be easy to get stuck fighting a mob in. Don't give up. :)Quote:

There's a few pieces of the fight in there that I still want to perfect regarding one of the bomb sets that I regularly derp on.Quote:

Just nothing's topped last night's party. >_>
Either way, I'm steering clear for a while unless someone asks for help >_>
*Lesson learned, puts self in the corner for a 5 minute timeout*
Ref to WoD - yeah, seriously o_O Been waiting on that Bard tabbard for ages, too D: Either it drops when I'm on MNK/WHM or the other BRD gets it D:
So bored of WoD, now.... -
05-13-2015, 11:16 AMMPNZThank you, for your encouragemnt! I wont give up!Quote:

05-13-2015, 06:39 PMGamer3427I honestly have more trouble with Stone Vigil than I do any other dungeon I've played in, (including the Crystal Tower raids), and while I normally played DPS, the first time I tried healing there was absolute chaos. It's just one of those things where everything can go wrong very quickly, and of course, the first person that get's blamed is the healer. You just have to keep trying, and if you're like me then you'll have an easier time of it anywhere else you go.....Quote:

So you had this situation where people didn't want to run AK because you didn't have darklight gear, but you can't get darklight gear without getting the tomes which people farmed AK for. You could only really get it by farming the Mainstream scenario dungeons. Exactly what people have to do now if they want to catch up.
LotA gives the most troll/carry nonsense. In the last 3-CT run to get the weekly reward, ST had the least amount of fail, while LotA had two DPS that took dirt naps, or locked themselves out of the boss room, every time, wiping the party when it was pointed out and missing a "pads!" moment. What was infuriating was that the carry also got all the gear, since the other DRG passed on it (it started with 3 DRG's, one dropped out after they didn't get a gear piece.)
WoD had the most "carry me"-woefully-undergeared players. I could go on about how three of the DPS were just perpetually dead in that first room, but it seems like only one of them actually didn't know the mechanics at all. That newbie to WoD entered with ilevel 50/60 gear on several left-hand slots and kept getting them one-shot'ed by mechanics that would only do 60% damage to the other DRG's. After this was pointed out amazingly they stopped dying after wiping on Cloud of Darkness since nearly everyone ignored the mechanics up to that point. This is why WoD seems hard (it's really not,) because players try to faceroll through it like they do on other dungeons by doing the minimum necessary to get through it the fastest. -
05-14-2015, 04:38 AMGamer3427I've honestly never had trouble with WoD except for one run I had last night where we just got an absolute terrible combination of people. Beyond that, I've found it to be remarkably easy compared to how people always talk about it. The only hard fight in the entire thing is the second boss fight, which is the one with the Flying Eye, and that's only hard because there's so many instant kill mechanics that you have to watch out for. As for the other two, I find ST to be the most annoying, but not bad, and I've honestly only run LotA once when I was progressing the quest line. That one run we had trouble with the first boss because people didn't understand the mechanics, (it was one of the few times I've actually read up on a run before hand because I was nervous), but once we got past it we didn't have any trouble.....Quote:
