The greatest lolwut moments on a duty

[Merle]

actually monks aoe is not that bad, if you build your GL3 without Arm of the Destroyer (using just snap punch, twin snakes to keep that buff and rockbreaker) cuz its just waste of TP, you can then follow with blood for blood, internal release, perfect balance and rockbreaker spam, those goblins should die before you run out of TP, dont forget invigorate.

Exactly <3

I guess the monk didn't know how to manage his skills

Believe me or not. This happened to me a few weeks ago in Lich. A friend of my FC went to Aurum Vale, she had to do it for unblocking Amdapor Keep and for the grand company, If I remember right. While I did some roulettes... After two roulettes, she told me that she was yet in the dungeon but that the tank was kicked... I shocked and offered her my help...

When I entered the dungeon, they were in the final boss, with 5:50 min remaining for kill it...Anyway, we tried hard, everything was going well, but the time was against us.... In the middle of the boss I changed to "DPS mode" putting defiance off.

....
...
.....

Only one small little bar remaining in the boss and the time finished. Duty failed... Had to form a new dungeon starting from zero with her for having success in 30 min, like it should be (?).

And I'm only a noob, she too, maybe the tank they had was just trolling them.

Once tanked a Stone Vigil where one of the DPS was a level 42 THM. I think it was an accident; I asked him before we started how come he wasn't a BLM and he replied with "dammit sorry" and then didn't speak another word the whole run. Poor guy.

Also queued in progress into Tam-Tara where the rest of the party was already on the final boss. I watched them win from the entrance. I was basically only there so they could fill and use LB.

i have a tendency to pull stuff for the hell of it, also i like bringing the easily avoidable Coeurl on turn 1 into the caduceus battle to see how long i can make it last.

i have a macro that says: "brb, being a drg. <se.1>" for when i am about to do something incredibly stupid now.

I had a major facepalm lolwut moment the other day...
Doing duty low level roulette and titan story mode came up.
When I got in all of them were new to you so I went all out explaining the tactics to them and helped them to memorise what happens during the fight
Things were going perfectly smoothly then he was due to leap ready for heart phase and I went to type in chat (which I looked down to type) heart phase incoming be ready to switch to it.
Looked up to see landslide on its last split second cast on me, needless to say I took a trip through the air into the pit of death.
They beat heart phase just due to one DPS down, and done the fight flawlessly , felt so proud of them since it was their first time but also felt such an idiot for forgetting one vital basic part of the fight lol

SCH in CT stood still for 80% of each boss fight spamming succor till he ran out of mana. He asked the bard for mana song each fight but the bard ignored him (and rightfully so). On the final boss the SCH called the bard a baddie for not playing mana song for him. lolwut

Fresh today: Copperbell Mines (low), slime room. A lancer were killing the spawning caps, even we telling him not to do. The tank were running around all the room as if the slimes were killing machines. Me (healer) and arch go sit in a corner waiting how much time needs before they will understand that hitting the slime boss is pointless, and that does not hit so hard to make tank running as an headless chicken.

[TeaTimeBear]

For me my lolwut moment is something rather silly. I was doing WP runs and after we cleared the first boss our tank ran into the wall after moving passed the pugs.. I know it's silly, but they weren't on auto run. I have never laughed so hard while playing this game until that moment.. Thinking about it now makes me smirk.

I recently did Halitali (HM) on PLD with a very impatient and annoying BLM that would sprint off and pull the next set of monsters before killing the last set. At one point dying before he could make it back in range of the healer! x)

So when we got to the section with the three Bears that use a fan directional AOE; I pulled all three and started running over to him using their AOE markers to force him to move and interrupt his casting.


He got frustrated.

While doing WP myth runs I encountered someone who used the 'insult' "I'd be mad too if my name was comb." No one in the run had anything close to comb in their name, and the randomness of it made me crack up. My girlfriend and I still use it as an inside joke many months later.
