So after a while, today I beat Chimera. Coolios...
Then came the hydra... to be fair, first time doing the fight and we made it to like 30% of the boss's HP, thanks to vets and their detailed explanations.
2 hours in... not a single win, due to numerous reasons...
1. DPS didnt kill the Wyvern add in time, Buffs the boss and that claw that shreds 4k dmg even with shield oath... scary
2. It took numerous tries but the mages had to learn to not be in the middle... and they learnt, at my expense... still didnt help, kept dying by Fear Itself >_<
3. Constant positioning due to the boss's circle dropping on the tanks... then the dps exceed our aggro SOMEHOW, and they go after them... its happened 2 or 3 times.
4. Toxic players. my FIRST time ever encountering someone toxic here. a scholar and a bard... they were talking trash, i just kept joking around, keep the good mood, cause in a frustrating fight, its the only thing that keeps you going :| the SCH kept switching jobs mid party and we wouldnt notice till the fight started and the BRD was negative... sigh, though i could avoid these kinds of people...
What about everyone else? any stories of misfortune on while doing Relic Reborn?

Since I've got my relic now I've been trying to do the same and help others down Titan.
The community in FFXIV, despite popular belief, is outstanding. Can't let the few bad apples spoil our perceptions.
