The greatest lolwut moments on a duty

[Nukocafe]

this was a few months ago when I was still on the japanese servers.
I get in as a scholar to Wanderer's Palace for a roulette and cast protect, summon my fairy.
I'm standing waiting for the tank to go and everyone's just standing waiting.
I'm like ? and tank then says (in japanese) to cast stone skin.

I'm like....I'm a scholar I don't have stone skin..... ._.;

He then was like SIGH and finally we were off to kill things.
Needless to say,after that day I decided to level up my white mage ＿|￣|○ il||li

The first time I did Titan story I was with two friends on voice chat. It was there first time too. I read a guide beforehand. I tell them I can tank it, I know what to do. The fourth member is a lancer we get through DF. Everything is going fine, Titan does his first Geocrush and I'm all "Okay run outside of the circle now!" They all listen to me. Titan lands, the edge collapses and we all fall to our deaths. My friend calmly understates: "So, uh, that didn't seem like that was the right thing to do, man". Lol. I asked for a second to look at that guide again which I had clearly read incorrectly.

Had a mild one the other night.

Joined a BF full speedrun group farming Soldiery. I joined as my i83 BLM. Elder Staff, Crimson body DL legs, i90 and Ultima ACCs. Nothing special.

I'm paired with another BLM. He's wearing FULL i90 with a couple pieces of and the Allagan weapon. Dude was decked. So we run along and something weird keeps happening. I keep dying. The other BLM isn't engaging adds during bosses, even when the healer is on the verge of death. I'm pulling whole crowds off the (somewhat crappy) PLD with my AOEs anytime Quelling isn't up. And it dawns on me. I'm hardly ever hearing Flare go off that isn't my own. OtherBLM is just like... lazily casting Fire 2. Waits 7 or 8 seconds. Fire 2 again. At the end he casts Flare once. At bosses he just stands there doing the basic Fire 3 > F1 rotation over and over. No thunder. No nothing. I watch the guys MP and he barely depletes it most of the time. He outgears me by a mile and is casting maybe a third of what I'm doing. Takin' it easy in a speedrun I guess. lolwut

The other BLM isn't engaging adds during bosses,

Both DPS are supposed to ignore adds during bosses. The tank can hold all the adds (as long as nobody else runs through the sniper sights on the first boss) and the healers can heal through it

I'm not sure how this is a lulwut moment? It's generally assumed all SCH have stoneskin and swiftcast by the time they hit 50 and start doing endgame.

Of course, you being an example, it's clearly not always the case.

Dzemael Darkhold as a Monk.

For the most part, it was a middle-of-the-road run. The healer had a handful of iffy moments (one explained by toddler aggro), which meant a couple wipes and a couple close calls, but nothing earth-shattering.

On the final boss, though, he just... isn't all there. Slow to react to pretty much everything. We made it to the final phase before people started dropping. Can't remember if it was healer first or tank first, but regardless, I ended up being the last one standing and barely taking the boss down. The tank politely (really; everybody was cool) tells the healer he needs to work on his reaction time and especially keeping tanks up.

The healer replied "Well, it's hard when you all move around so fast!"

I just... don't know what he was expecting. These bosses don't really give us room to RP-walk out of AOEs.

I had one tonight, in Copperbell Mines on my archer (on another server) tank pulls more mobs than usual, can handle it and does a good job, he looses aggro for a split second, and the OT tells him off. I'm like lolwat? Has anyone died or failed? No, then wtf are you complaining for? Run was smooth and good fun, no mess ups. This is the second player I've met like this, who upon trying to blacklist, it says player not found Oo. They must log off straight away or something.

When i reached lv50 i had stoneskin too, but when i progressed into the endgame i replaced it with blizzard II. Speaking of which, was doing atma farm with PF recruitment open, sch joined group and was just standing near us. I hinted he could pop a CS and do some damage - he said he does not have CS and heals only. I asked if he gets a gold medal for healing only - he said he does not heal, pet does. One fate later he switched to blm and simply dpsed.

You'd be extremely surprised how many scholars I run into in DF (now as a DPS) that do not have stone skin.
So while I feel bad about it retroactively, looking back now and seeing people come to garuda ex without SS I feel much better!

I've also run into Whms in Garuda Ex & Ultima who don't even have swiftcast which is a million times worse >_>

Tinkerbell failing to get the memo that her SCH just ate a landslide and continues to keep the rest of us standing.
