This one time in Duty Finder I was doing Main Scenario Roulette for my tomes. I rolled Prae on my WAR. One of the DD's wasn't fond of the dungeon, so he left. Another DD joined shortly after in his stead. We charged forward with a Well geared PLD main tanking and speed running well. We finish the dungeon before the first DD's penalty expired. I got to laugh at someone's unwise choice.
Rolled DR for high level, got AK. On 1st triple mobs, I aoe Fire II them and sooner realize that the PLD cannot hold aggro. Check the gear and it's still iLvl 55 for most of it, so I play the safe and regular sleeping mob methods. Doing ok till we reached Anantaboga. The tank makes boss tail facing directly to rest of us who has position at the usual hiding spot beside the 2nd gargoyle pop. Tried our best but we wiped, especially since after 2nd gargoyle comes alive, rest of party member didn't know what to do with purple tether line.
Then I ask party if they can understand english, since they're JP besides me. Tank responded, apologize, then admiting it's his 1st time (quite obvious since I saw the map achievement when they reaching final boss room). Said it was ok, then proceed to teach how to tank Anantaboga and how to deal with overall fight.
2nd attempt, got a small hitch but this time we managed to win the fight. When I exited, I got 3 commendation, even though I'm BLM. :D
Everytime I get into a dungeon with players doing it their first time is so great as long as they communicate
Like this one time in duty finder I did Stone Vigil with 3 new ppl. I explained everything and we one shotted every boss. I was so proud of them!
Tonight I got Castrum Meridianum. 3 new people introduced themselves. Everyone was welcoming and, while the run was a little fast overall, no one was forced to skip any cutscenes and all the fights were explained. :D
