I said that it was my first time before starting, and I never stopped watching my cutscenes, anyway, but after finishing each one of them the group was miles ahead already, to the point that I even had cutscenes chain themselves. The only one that helped me a bit and waited for me (or came back so that I didn't pull all the crap that they left on the way) was the other tank, and he explained me the tactics. Even so, I didn't even have time to ask any questions or ask for clarification, as as soon it was explained they pulled and I had to rush into the midst of battle (and I know that I did a terribad job partly because of that, because of being my first time, and because I was nervous for everything, but at least we didn't wipe). Stressful as hell, and even if I watched the cutscenes I didn't enjoy them at all because I knew what I would find after finishing them.

Note that I was the second tank. I don't even want to know what would had happened if I had been just a dps, and from what I read that was not their first speedrun that afternoon, too, so I assume I wasn't the first one to suffer that same group. I'll never, NEVER, do that. If someone says that they're new I'm not going to move my ass from where they stand until they end doing whatever they need to do in the dungeon.

But well, I have put Praetorium on hold just because of that run, and I've been levelling other jobs since then. I'm afraid, and not willing, to find myself into another speedrun group u.u

Edit: We finished the dungeon with 80 something minutes left, by the way.
I wish you were on my server, because we get Prae groups together every few days or so. We totally watch the cutscenes, too.

Well, there's no need whatsoever for Mumble or Vent to do Prae or Castrum. None at all.
