Never thought I'd post something like this here, since I tend to have okay experiences in dungeons. xD
Was on my NIN. Had to do Sunken Temple for the lvl 50 MSQ line before getting into Ishgard. The healer and MCH were level synced while the tank was a lvl 35 sprout. I think they were a GLD, if I got the icon right. The two crossed swords.
It was a mess. I ended up tanking the majority of the dungeon, with the MCH second, tank third, and healer last. The tank and healer ended up dying the most while the MCH and I took care of mobs AND the bosses. I ended up tanking every boss in there. I swear it just seemed like the tank and healer were screwing around and not being at all serious. It just seemed like the tank wasn't using any aggro skills since ONE attack from me took complete aggro from the tank. Later I checked my Contact list and saw they were all from the same server, so I'm assuming they were friends and most likely in the same FC. I've just never had a tank so bad at keeping aggro before. Not even on my SMN when I'm AoEing everything in sight.
But yah... I wanted to say something to the tank but I know nothing about tanking in this game so didn't know what to say. I'm glad the healer kept me up, at least when they weren't dead. But it was a complete mess. xD

03-12-2017, 06:22 AMFernosaurOh yeah, definitely. Xelphatol in particular is a really sad dungeon damage-output wise, lmao. Selene could solo heal it alone back when it was the most current dungeon :'DQuote:

Had a new person in Keeper of the Lake, think they were together with the SMN in this story.
First boss:
SMN: You need to hide behind the pillars for this one.
Me: ...pillars?
SMN: Wait did I mix this up? Lol I'm so terrible with PvE.
The run went fine, so it's not a bad player, just a funny story to share. -

This one's a funny one that happened to me.
A friend and I queue up and get Chrysallis. New healer in the group.
He tells us in Party Chat "Okay guys echo down. We have to be careful."
Barrier drops and he B-lines it for the boss and gets one-shotted. The fight continues with him dead and my friend and I laughing so hard because we cannot figure out what just happened to our lives. -
03-12-2017, 02:24 PMEdwinLiSadly I did not as I knew I will never be seeing that person again and with that attitude he most like already got reported by a bunch of people already.Quote:

On topic:
Here a funny story back when i was farming tomes for my Anima but I can't remember the exact words since it was last year.
Person: Hey Edwin. Remember me? I see you're doing fine since Grand Chase.
Me: WHO ARE YOU?!!!
Person: I use to play Grand Chase and posted on the Grand Chase Forums. I used to use this name on the Grand CHase forums.
Me: Sorry i don't remember. It has been years since Grand Chase closed down.
Person: It is ok. I am just saying hi and glad you're enjoying yourself in this game.
( I am a bit surprised to run into someone randomly in the DF who knew me back in my Grand Chase years. Small world.) -

Just did Soul of the Creator normal. Had an alpha tank (one who immediately says they're tanking regardless, and also orders every single move). This bothered me already, because I consider myself the Ultimate Tank, and I hate people who state the obvious.
So we finish. He then proceeds to say the following:
And that is the type of person that doesn't get us built-in parsers.Quote:
plds 1 2
healers 3 4
dps
smh
Before anyone asks, yes I reported it.
Teach that asshole not to let me tank. -

Ran Void Ark yesterday with the boyfriend. We get queued with another AST who is in Nocturnal. Other AST refuses to help DPS even when my bf points out that AST could be helping with DPS since bf isn't MT. Conversation goes a little like this:
Bf: XXX you could help with DPS you know
AST: Yeah and you're not in tank stance even though you're a tank
Bf: But I'm not MT and no one is dying
AST: Doesn't matter. You don't want heals then?
Proceeds to overwrite my Arrow with a Spear on pt
Naturally, I kind of flip. I ask them nicely again before the coffin phase to not overwrite my buffs. I RR into a balance only to be rewritten by a bole. Sometimes I really wish there was a kick for trolling option. A little painful but I did get a nice Void Ark cloak for a wintery glamour later on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -

Just ran the expert roulette and got Sohm Al, it was going well other than for the fact the tank would randomly drop his tanking stance half way through pulling mobs, so that we'd end up pulling them off him with ease and he didn't seem to notice or care to take them back off us. Had to use quelling strikes way too frequently.
Then as he's leaving the dungeon he says. "gradz dps scrubs u couldnt even pull aggro"
Hahahahaha.... no... we pulled off you frequently. -

Ok, I'm running leveling roulette, get tan tara deepcroft. Why why why does the pld proceed to three pull the whole dungeon with two sprouts as the dds??? We got through it thankfully, but...seriously when I all got is two healing spells and you don't even ask??? smh.
