The greatest lolwut moments on a duty

[Velox]

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

Wow that's kinda scary now that I think about it. Had a SCH doing something similar in a roulette AK run 2-3 weeks back, only he was spamming Adloquium on the tank until he ran out of MP. We didn't have a bard (I was on MNK and other DPS was BLM) so we ended up limping through the last boss. After we won I told him that the galvanize effect doesn't stack and only gets replaced if the heal has a higher potency than the last one. I asked him why he wasn't utilizing Physick and Embrace to conserve MP and he said Physick was weak and that Adloquium replaced it. He then proceeded to tell me to learn to play, insulted the tank, and left. We were all just dumbstruck by the whole thing.

Joined Party Finder advertised as Ifrit EX. The party leader qued for Titan EX and I guess expected a carry from people that already beat it. Ummmm no.

LOL that's pure gold right there.

I had 2 moments. One was when I hit 30 acn, I unlocked both smn and sch. So I figured I'd test be a healer. Did a run with my fc on tama and things went well, so I ran by myself. This time I got 2 nice does and a tank who thought it was an amazing idea to pull the first 3 areas of mobs. I managed to heal through it, with him telli me "I should be having fun".

I tanked a Brayflox once with a lvl 33 pugilist wearing a mage robe and 4 pieces of crafter (as in for a crafter, not crafted) gear.

This is nothing that happened inside dungeons but it came as a surprise to me so I hope it fits in here

Two times in one day I managed to queue up for wrong dungeons.
I was gonna do brayflox hm and accidentally queued up for brayflox story mode, and I didn't realize it until we got to the first boss.

Later the same day I figured that my fresh level 50 summoner should try out Ifrit HM, so I queue up for it and find a group pretty quickly
I had accidentally searched for Titan HM though which I had never done before even on my main. Took me some time to realize it too "Hmm isn't there supposed to be like a firewall around this place and OMG THIS ISN'T IFRIT"
So they all just started the fight and I had no idea what was gonna happen.
After a couple of wipes we did it though

One time I healed a Toto-Rak run where the Marauder tank was wearing the starter axe, FFXII chest, pants, and legs, caster accessories, and crafting gloves and head. He never said a single word the entire run, kept getting lag spikes, and only ever auto-attacked.

Fortunately, a Dragoon in the party wound up doing the tanking and we cleared the dungeon fairly easily despite basically doing it a man short.

Another lolwut moment, again as a healer:
Queued up for low-level roulette, got Titan Story Mode. Tank apparently went AFK during the opening cutscene, so the first 10 or so minutes of the duty was wasted waiting for the tank's CS to automatically progress. When it finally ended, we waited another 5 minutes before finally kicking the tank, and then attempted three-manning Titan Story Mode.

It went surprisingly well, actually. We got past Heart phase, and if I hadn't gotten hit with a Landslide, we would've won. After wiping due to no heals, another tank finally came in, this time I managed to avoid Landslide, and we won easily.

So yeah, those are the lolwut moments I've experienced so far.

My last oddball moment was in a DF run for Braflox HM. The party was composed of a PLD, BLM (me), WHM, and a BRD. As we were doing our run through I kept pulling threat off the tank (don't really see this too often anymore but it happens), so no problem I thought as I'll just slow down my DPS to help alleviate the problem. Still I would end up ripping hate off the tank even after slowing dps way down and with quelling strikes up. This really started making me scratch my head, so I started paying more attention to what the PLD was doing. Turns out he was rarely flashing, and kept using Rage of Halone outside of combo (Fast Blade > Savage Blade > Rage of Halone) so he wasn't getting the full enmity benefits of the attack. I mentioned to him that he really needed to begin using the combo as he was only getting a fraction of the hate that he could be getting. His response to me was, "I don't need to I'm in Shield Oath." Uhhh okay.

I guess he thought, for whatever reason, that Shield Oath somehow allowed him to get the full hate potential of Halone without the need of the full combo. Wow lol.

my 2nd time was haukke manor tank said it was his first time, so we said we'd help him as we went, since haukke isn't hard. After the first set of mobs, we gently reminded him to use shield throw flash and hate Combos to which he replied "well no shit". I said it would help with him not let mobs get away. He said "well dps is all over so..." we told him he should start marking targets since it will help him focus the group. He got snappy, saying no, there's no time and he's having to much fun. So we told him "Well, it will help you to tank better and get better for the future and Good to learn for your job.
And he told me (being healer) "how about *you* mark them? All your doing is healing." (lolwut?) at which our dps who mentioned he Mained tank propely explained to him that it's his job as a tank to properly mark enemy's. Anyways, tank got mad, left the group, and me and the 2 dps ran haukke ourselves and cleared it with no tank, or even any deaths.
