Happened to me! Pulled with sprint xD Doesn' t work well ah ha!

In this game I would say pulling with Sprint...in my mmo history, my Derps of Derps was mapping mijin gakure in ffxi as a low level ninja to a key, never erasing.eventually forgetting about it... then while tanking jorm hitting it during its final percentages (prior to our first na server kill) they branded me with this sig after wardshttp://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...oe/mexico1.png

My friend pulled me into T5 as OT for my first time and after a few wipes since I was new, I think I got the hand of it....I pull the adds like I'm supposed to then back up into the fire wall and die instantly...So yet another wipe. Woops o-o;

hammering the heal button wondering why people are dropping and then you noticed you were calling your chocobo the whole time

Maybe she was a PLD trying to heal? which is another kind of derp :v
But just as confusing and by no means less funny v:

Do not do that in Shiva HM.

I too have made this mistake...

Had t6 on farm as a DRG for months before I tried tanking it for the first time. Forgetting which role I was in, I neglected to provoke raflesia off of the other tank and run back to the other side while spit was casting, she turned around and cleaved the whole party before I realized.

The real issue here is having anyone but the devour target do any movement. These tank run-through and party run-through methods are nuts.

Had a couple this weekend - taunted Avatar instead of the Dreadnaught (always fun!) and managed to kill myself in T10 by Covering the Critical Rip with no cooldowns on. In my defense, I'd been leveling NIN for hours beforehand and Cover shares a hotkey with Goad. Okay, not much of a defense really, I just had a pretty derp day all around :P

I think I hit a Renaud with Circle of Scorn as well but that's not even really A Thing any more since they just stand there and tickle you.

Literally every time I forget to turn on Defiance. This morning I was wondering how the hell an Arcanist (with level appropriate gear) was so high on the aggro list (higher than the ninja usually) and competing with me for aggro so well.
