If I remember, the second boss doesn't like her eggs being smashed.

Yep. It's also easy for tank AoE to accidentally smash some eggs. Like PLD's Scorns, as I've done it by accident. It's important the tank position her exactly where she spawns, and not let the adds run amok from the center so that eggs would get easily hit. Sometimes there is new DPS that just don't know not to hit them too.

I will say a SCH has an easier time dealing with the enrage with Virus, Eos Fey Covenant, and Soil and whatever damage they can do of course.

Yeah, it was pretty late/early so I was a bit derp in addition to not having done the dungeon in a long time. When I saw one of the dps go for the eggs at the beginning of the fight, my mind went "Oh, smash eggs, okay!" - kind of like the stuff from the last boss in Toto-Rak - and the boss procceded to stomp the party. Since we killed almost all of the eggs in the room and I was a bit confused why everyone was suddenly taking so much damage I went into panick mode and forgot to manage my fairy. It was totally my fault.

Still, the tank didn't explain any strats and I couldn't really have looked up the dungeon beforhand since it was roulette and I had no idea what I would get. T_T

I don't know if this is so much a horror story as a head scratcher. Still...

Did leveling roulette on my WHM. Got gubal normal. All is ok, we have no wipes and DPS is good so we move at an above average pace. As I'm healing the tank I notice he's sporadically using his cooldowns and in some cases isn't using them at all. Because I'm in a hurry and he's not really melting, I let it slide. At the second boss I ask to pause briefly to recuperate some MP so I don't have to use SOS right off the bat. He pulls anyway but then apologizes and admits he's not paying attention.

He elaborates on this during the trash pull after the 2nd boss by apologizing again for not using cooldowns since it's hard for him to concentrate. His head hurts and he doesn't want to work. (???)

I wasn't really sure what to say so I told him I hoped he felt better. He tanked just fine so I could only complain about not being able to fully buff before each boss so I could DPS more. So odd.

Could write a horror story now, but instead I drew a picture:

Is there a special term for this kind of BRD?

"Dude get over here, you need a heal!" BRD is too far away. He can't hear you.

Too busy running around the arena doing jack damage, without Wanders Minuet on, to get a heal.

Was in Xelphatol and got a tank that asked me to switch to noct because it "helped him with aggro on large pulls." I said I was better at diurnal, but switched to noct to avoid an argument. I ended up switching back to diurnal because I'm more comfortable with it and, what a surprise, he had no aggro problems.

During the second boss, he got one-shotted twice to avoidable aoe and then had the nerve to tell me to learn to heal in noct. It was then I assumed he wanted me to be in noct so he didn't have to avoid aoe.

Got a really circus party doing Df levelling yesterday

Tank is pure newbie (no sync icon)
1 RP dps doing cutesy RPing (emote here emote there oh and a lalafell too)
Another dps seems hell bent on filling the aggro bar like he was in the middle of amazing race (he literally type "i win!!!" when he get full aggro)
Me somehow just doing my job

Let just say the dungeon end with 8 minutes left more or less and somehow i discover my inner talent as a "straight man" role

Add the mix of being in the Aery and him completely ignoring the pillars mechanic and getting zotted down to 1 health every time the dragon chose him to snack on... yeah. I really enjoyed having to jog over to him to heal him.

Void Ark. Month 1: Poison was obnoxious and dealt high damage. Nobody bothered to even try removing it. Was it really not curable?
I go in as SCH. I was horrified. All of the poison electrocutions, concussions, were all curable! And these people were saying, NO NO NO while DPSing while we all die!?
I was horrified at how easy it was. This shouldn't be happening.
