A Party consisting of only you...

Lemme explain... I tank, deeps AND heal pending my mood. I chain pull, speed run etc as a tank but stay strictly in tank stance to give my healer room to dps. I pop HoTs and then dps as a healer. As a dps, I aoe mass pulls but prioritize burning down the hard hard hitting mob of the group (if any) first regardless of the size of the pull. Now if there were four of me playing all roles in a 4-man party, we'd all harmonize quite well.

Question is, if you ran a 4 man party with 3 other yous, would you hate anything about how the others played? i.e You mass pull as a tank, but as a healer, you hate it when tanks mass pull.

I'd be really mad at how bad my party was at mechanics.

But seriously I play the way I like others to play, so I'd be pleased with my fast pulling and risky behaviour, and the DPS would always use the Limit Break for once.

As a DPS I like to try to steal aggro from a tank(using aggro reduction once I get it though) but as a tank I HATE when dps don't use their aggro skills despite being right on my tail so I'm forced to use aggro combo >_<;

We wouldn't leave the starting area because we'd be circle jerking over the fact that it's an all Elezen group.

I make an attempt to play optimally, so I think things would work out fine. My healer would be thanking the Twelve that the tank is actually using cooldowns, I think that's the only oddity.

Cry because I am a terrible tank and tell myself to git gud, then yell at myself for telling myself that then all my other selves would scream at each other and my tank self would leave.
Then my other selves would leave and feel sad and irritated and make my tank self feel better and apologise.
Then I'll come to find out all myselves are just annoying and fuse them back to me and play with others and have fun lol.

The DRK and NIN would get in a dick measuring contest.
12k Bloodspiller
Oh yea, 15k Bake-a-cake.
HA! 16k Bloodspiller!
That's cute, I just hit 18k on Raiton.

I like steady and efficiency in my game play.Not "PULL ALL THE THINGS!!" kinda fast nor "LETS STOP AT THIS GROUP OF MONSTERS AND STARE!!!" kinda slow. I also understand party roles and the do's and do not's. So yes, we would get along MAVOLASLY.

I'd clean content faster.

I'd think "what are we doing?", then abandon and go find friends.

Probably end up in the bathhouse/hot springs in Kugane because it's an all male-Roegadyn group...

Being serious, I love it when tanks do big pulls, because I get to pull out all the stops on AoE damage as a White Mage, and I normally do big pulls anyways. As far as DPS goes, it's my main role, so I think DPS would be fine and things would die quickly.

It would be a 3 man, healer would be more than likely "crapcrapcrap stop dying at me!" NIN would just be a dodgefest and rarely take damage and RED would just hold the aggro. I don't play tank, my friends that do would either hate the experience or would laugh at all the trolling going on in chat.

I can relate to this one far too well, especially when playing with friends. Gotta make the tank work for that commend.

Lol my DRK would mass pull but quickly realize his Astro sucks and is to busy drawing cards to heal him, the dps would be standing in aoes and the dungeon would take about 45mins

If I'm understanding the question correctly probably not, since we'd all be respectful towards each other. The things I hate as a tank (mainly players pulling for me or not letting me get aggro first) are also things I hate as a healer and DPS as well.

We would probably get into a fight over who was going first...

Probably end up wiping a fair bit...I'm am by no means a great healer...I can adequately heal in most of the content(just not extremes or savage as I've never even tried to do so), but would probably end up just disbanding and going for PF/DF solo.

If one person makes a mistake you can usually recover.

If yourself made a mistake, all of yourselves would make the same mistake at the same time, and your party of You's would instant wipe to that mechanic.

Yikes!

Hmm.... Healer me. Would would be fine. He usually adjusts quite well.

Tank me tends to forget cool downs from tiem to time. But I'm at least good at holding hate and not letting mobs get away.

Dps me would be bad. Half the time I forget to check what mob is being killed first, or I'll not see mobs spawn during bosses that need stock be killed so I end up leaving it to the other dps and tank while I kill the boss.

Tank me : average.

Healer me : pretty good.

Dps me : half the time I feel like a warrior able to take on the world. The other half the time I feel like a dragoon being a floor tank.

I would vote kick myself when i either dps as a healer or not dps as a healer.

Well you see, one would start dancing, and well, you already know where this is going :o.

I'm not the best tank, but I do fine as a healer or dps. I'd probably be most annoyed as healer having to babysit the tank at times instead of dpsing.

Party comp would be DRK, AST, SAM, and NIN. NIN me would begrudgingly throw Goads on SAM me and envy at the massive amount of aoe deeps this cocky S.O.B. is throwing out. DRK me and AST me would probably get along just fine, but there would be one instance where I forget to heal him and we almost wipe lol but realistically, in a party full of me's, all of our controllers would die at the exact same time. And everyone would be panicing trying to find the charging cord while simultaneously wondering why no one else is doing anything lol

^ This. Except with Au Ra.

Also a group consisting of just me would be nice. I play the way I expect others to play and I hold myself, and others, consequently, to high standards, so it would probably be a pretty boss group... mechanic-wise anyway. The DPS would probably suck though, because I suck at DPS.

That's all provided we make it out of the starting area though.

Healer me would try to be patient while Tank me tries to keep hate on everything. She would definitely complain that the DPS is way too low cause the damage dealers keep tripping over their rotations or ability priorities.

I've been thinking about leveling PLD, or trying to. I think I could get the hang of it and do really well. But DPSing is very difficult for me. The easiest for me was 50 bard and 50 black mage. Since then, I trip over my rotations a lot. And refuse to use buffs until I get better at my rotations. Practice makes for improvement, yes. But I don't want anyone to have to put up with my terrible DPS. Cause I know I wouldn't want to put up with it either. I would, and have, from others. But it was not fun.

SE needs to allow NPC Tanks and NPC Healers and NPC DPS for Queues. These wait times are 30+ minutes. I'd like to level without grinding Fates or spending half a year to do it. I have things to do irl unlike most tryhards. SE... do something about your crappy wait times. Guildwars (a game 9456784956 years older then you) allowed this and that way I don't have to rely on others to level (or screw up my leveling by dropping, being horrible players).

THANK YOU

It would be nice if you could play every role at once, but that would destroy the point of the MMORPG.

A party of just me? I'd get instant queues for any 4 person content and we'd be unstoppable!! :D

My healer me would be fine, I adapt to everything, maybe just wondering why the war-me pulls so little, because I suck at tanking lol. I hold hate usually, I just suck at rotating cds or, which already happened, accidently turn off the defiance ._. My dps me would be >.> The run would probably be managable, but nothing worth the commendation from anybody :D

A party of only me's would finish most dungeons quite fast and progress at a steady pace. We (I?) would however also call each other names cause we hate ourselves

Astro me would be trying to hump Drk me, while monk me will be poking them both while sam me would be spamming the fight emote cause it looks like training. >.>

I main mnk/blm so the mobs and boss gonna die fast and my tank-self will be forced to sit into tank stance the whole run.
No comment for my healer-self though but just imagine some dps try queue roullete as healer for faster queue.

The other me's would laugh at the tank-me for occasionally running the wrong way in a dungeon. :D Sometimes, we get stuck in a dungeon because no one remembers the boss mechanics or how to make that door open.

As a fighting unit, we'd be a well oiled machine because of the synergy. I think I'm proficient with all the roles. :cool:

Paladin, White Mage, Red Mage, Ninja. All rushing half-asleep.
We'll use Sprint on CD and rush like mad, though most likely won't wipe on the trash because the tank is too chicken to do huge pulls, uses as many defensive CDs as possible and casts clemency on herself when her health drops to 40%. May miss a damage telegraph due to all the blinding Holies. Passage of Arms will be used at the wrong time but Medica II and Cure III will deal with the damage. In the Temple of the Fist the tank will use Cover on the Touch of Slaughter target before Ivan's cast goes off and give the healer a mini heart attack, so she finally wakes up... But by that time the DPS will be dead because they used a gap closing/creating or animation locking ability that put them at the wrong place at the wrong time. The White Mage will resurrect the Red Mage, then die herself because she tends to tunnel vision while ressing. The Red Mage will resurrect the White Mage, then die to mechanics for the same reason. While the ninja tries to determine what the floor tastes like and the mages take turns resurrecting each other, the tank hopefully manages to save the fight with lots of clemencies and CDs.

Just returning to the game after a few years, browsing forums, and found this thread.

My reply?

*Red Queen voice*

You're all going to die down here.

It would be: SCH, SAM, SMN, WAR
Warrior: mass pulls everything - probably undergeared and underfed pls just smol angry healer main trying to let rage out
SAM: Would never remember to do the correct combo rotation; consistently hits the buttons with mouse instead of keyboard because she's unfamiliar with the layout and changes it 99% would scream "MY COMBOS" in discord everytime she pulls off that nice 3 point attack. cries about going from 2nd on the threat meter to 4th because they forgot combos and stood there for like 3 secs just AAing.
SMN: forgets they can raise all the time, but has really good aoe dps and keeping up with rotations. spams maybe too much ruin 3.
SCH: rages at sam for being so focused on rotations and standing in the aoes; does not raise after 3rd time dying to mechanics. gets slightly upset when warrior expects huge burst heals, and gets really upset when warrior overpulls and dies but blames healer

I'd probably kick warrior and samurai me tbh.

This thread is way more funny than anticipated. Good read with early breakfast guys, and nice one OP. :)

might i mention that samurai me is so FOCUSED on combos i forget about aoe markers.
combos r life

jk im just bad

The whole party made up of 4 copies of me?The whole party would macro every ability,weapon skill and spell to have AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH tied to it just to see how fast the text box flies by.
