Most hated random duty?

I don't hate AV as much as I used to since I've run it solo a few times unsynced on SMN and gotten my revenge.

Stone Vigil is the worst one to get if you have any first timer now. Especially a new tank. An experienced group can mow through it, but goodness help you if you have a new tank there.

As for trials, Chrysalis has now replaced Steps of Faith as Worst Trial Duty To Roll Into. Had one the other day where we got the new person notice but no one would fess up to being the new person. So I carefully explained the first two phases of the fight, where you have to run through the balls, and we nearly wiped during the first one and did wipe during the second one because nobody listened to me. Half the group left. I felt bad, but it was late and my melatonin had kicked in and I just was too tired to deal with people not listening.

2.0 Aurum

3.0 Neverreap

I hate those fat owls.

I have a feeling that the 2nd boss of Aurum Vale is going to be hit with the nerf bat, good riddance. /spit
Sure, that boss is easy assuming you know the mechanic, but that doesn't mean I don't get clubbed to death everytime I'm in there and the tank and healer die on the first swing.

I love Stone Vigil... been grinding my tanks there. Well that might be why I like it tho. ^^

But for some weird reason I have been getting players wearing crafter gear or even materials for crafting in there... it is like epidemic. I don't understand why anybody would wear the crap gear that drops in Quarn's chests... but it is getting way too common.

Toto-Rak... the slow sludge... lack of fun abilities... I really hate rolling leveling duty into that one.

I'm kinda sick of both for expert, I cant wait for new stuff.

The crysalis is a nightmare always.

Thousand Maws of Total Sh**. Tar on the ground, really?

What's with all the hate for AV though? It's fun imo. All the xp! And the trash/boss mechanics keep you on your toes and prepare you for 50+. The first boss could be a bit more interesting than just being an easy version of the last boss.

Copperbell Mines Hard Mode is the 10th circle of Hell, the mechanics and adds just feel really odd for the first boss. Qarn NM is also incredibly time consuming, the second boss has way too much health for no reason.

I'll take peoples' word for it if they say that enemies in AV have bloated health but perhaps that compensates for the fact that the dungeon is otherwise so damn short? I don't care if I have to tank it other than the fact that toads exist there - and I hate toads with an unyielding passion in absolutely any part of the game. That and having a melee DPS that potentially weaves stuns into their rotation because then I have to bother actually dodging Coin's swing.

If I were to pick any run, then I guess I might say Thornmatch(HM) solely because all I know about tanking there is that someone supposedly grabs the King and lures him to one side of the map while the other tank grabs the Marauder and Gladiator moogles and brings them to the far side - the issue being that I'm not quite sure if there's anything else I'm ever supposed to be doing there and it makes me a little nervous to approach it as a tank.

Totorak, so boring and slow and looong.. I get numb even thinking about it @.@

Nope, there isn't. About the only other thing a tank might want to do is stun/silence the BLM's Pom Flare if absolutely none of the other 4 DPS can do it, but that sort of scenario is exceptionally rare (basically, if your DPS are 4x BLM), and nowadays the BLM usually dies before it can cast it anyway.

None of the moogles aside from the King, PLD, and WAR can be tanked; they do whatever they feel like. This applies in EX too.
