The greatest lolwut moments on a duty

[MaethusXion]

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.

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 always /facepalm when a SCH tells me they don't have stoneskin. Hell, I use it on my PLD all the time.

A brayflox, while I'm levelling bard with low level roulette. A little nervous, since I hadn't been there in ages. There's a CT geared SCH and a 30ish geared GLA there, and another BRD. BRD instantly asks the GLA why she isn't a paladin, gets no response at all. Even without an advanced job this girl just... isn't good. I politely ask her to flash more since even on auto attack, I'm taking stuff off her quickly. She apologizes, but doesn't. I think "okay." and it's the slowest run ever, with me and the other bard being really careful.

After the first boss (which was a farce since she's not getting hate on the adds, making about 5 waves come up because me and the other bard are too busy killing the adds whom keep going for Eos), she starts walking. I say "what's the matter?" and she says "I'm stuck on auto walk" then we wait 10 minutes for the SCH (her friend, apparently!) to explain to her what keybinds are. I'm currently going "lolwut" and finally she starts bolting into the second boss, without the SCH. I hang back and type "get back over the line" but they don't. They're locked in, and both die quickly. The other BRD loses it at this point and isn't nice to the GLA, and the SCH responds with language that'd probably get me suspended just for repeating, some pretty foul stuff. The BRD then leaves duty.

We get a BLM! I'm thinking "score, now I won't have to fight for infantry if it drops" and the BLM is really nice about the GLA still being ridiculously bad and forgoes all AOE for sleeping every mob in every pack for her. We get to the dragon! And she can't dodge. Waymarkers are placed, it's explained repeatedly, and she says...

...you guessed it.

"I'm stuck on auto walk again "

I ask her if she's some kind of troll, and the SCH flips, again. The GLA is votekicked, and the SCH calls us some pretty horrible things. The BLM gets a PLD from his FC to help and I'm thinking "the SCH is so going to screw us up here" and she doesn't enter the fight. The BLM asks her, after we're all dead, if she's really going to be that petty. She says "sorry I'll focus now" and we take that... in earnest, and as soon as I get back to the bossline she says "lol retainers came back from a venture" and leaves duty. We laugh, knowing it was going to happen. BLM gets a WHM from his FC, we pass with no issue.

What is even with people

Right, all True Endgame PLD are supposed to have Stoneskin and Mercy Stroke, which is why I'm grinding up through CNJ and MRD now!

I did Trials Roulette yesterday as my DRG. Have not played that job in months. Titan HM!!! Not one person messes up. Everyone was alive at the end and it went perfectly.
If anyone has ever done DF Titan HM you all know this was a greatest lolwut moment. Never ever happens.

[Rakashu]

I was the one who made a wtf moment. I joined a duty as a tank and tabbed out for about a minute to check out what's new on the crunchyroll and when i tabbed back, both DD left apparantly because they don't want to wait .... their DD queue must be ultra fast.

Maybe when you sign up to a duty you should, I dunno, actually do it as opposed to tabbing out?

[Nocte]

Whenever I do a low level dungeon as a tank and get a SCH for the healer that claims they don't have Protect. Seriously, what the heck did they select for their first cross class skill?!

[o3o]

Cleric stance and aero to speed it up.

protect is near useless in the low stuff. Sides.... the fairy is op in low lvl dungeons.

[chocomaid]

One of my alts is a tank focused character, but I wanted to level CNJ to 34 for stoneskin. So I queue up as healer on the low level roulette.

Random Party member: "Buffs and protect please"

Me: "Yes please, protect would be cool."

*Pure silence at the start for a good 20 seconds.*

Then I realise I'm the freaking healer. Happens way too many times to me, too many times.

On titan ex, when titan was almost dead everyone died on super bombs+jump. Then he went in enrage and i tried to finish him but didnt made in time, he survived with 0.1% hp

Troll healer from hell...
The musical...
Because I'm a Bard...
Okay, that was a really stupid joke. I will hang my head in shame whilst I tell the story.

One time in AK, I was on BRD, and the WHM asked me to play Requiem because he was going to toss out a few holys when he could. The other DPS was a BLM so I was planning to do it anyway, so no big deal, right? Well, the tank pulls the cultist dudes over to the first group of mobs, and grabs the dulla and me and the BLM proceed to AoE the everliving crap out of them. And then the tank dies, and everyone else gets eaten pretty quick after he goes down. I notice before the WHM dies that he has no MP left. I thought, jeez, this dude really needs to learn how to manage his MP on bigger pulls. I have other player effects turned off, and I usually don't play with the sound on, so I didn't really notice that he was spamming holy the whole time, but apparently he healed the tank once or twice, cast regen on him, and then proceeded to DPS his little heart out.

The tank asked what happened. Did he have a controller malfunction, or did he have an emergency and have to leave the game for a second, or was that too many mobs for him to handle healing. He was a real nice guy, really understanding, and offered to pull fewer mobs if the WHM wasn't comfortable with big pulls. The WHM didn't say anything, and so we went on and just grabbed the three cultist dudes. This time I watched the WHM. He spammed holy and didn't heal the tank at all. The tank only dropped to half HP during the fight so no one said anything. He went for a bit bigger pull, and the same thing happened. The WHM spammed holy, didn't cure at all, and the tank died.

So the tank says something like, "you know that you kind of need to heal me, right? You ARE the healer, after all."

And the WHM replies, "It's not my fault your gear sucks so bad you can't stay alive on your own."

This tank was wearing allagan gear and pretty close to ilvl 90, back when that actually meant something. And then a vote kick for the tank pops up.

The BLM is like "lol, he just tried to vote kick you, dude"

The tank just laughs and we move on to pull again. WHM finally actually does some healing this time, and it seems like we're past all the stupidity.

And then we get to the first boss. The WHM blows all of his MP on holy while I've got requiem up. I have no MP left to pop up ballad, he has no MP left for cures, we all die and he starts cussing me out for being the worst bard that ever was or would be. And then the tank says someone just tried to vote kick me. So we vote kicked the WHM instead. I'm usually pretty good about using ballad when it's needed. I play a healer as my secondary class and I know how annoying it is to be low on MP while the BRD is off in lala land. I honestly had no idea he was going to blow all of his MP right off without leaving anything to heal the rest of the fight with, or I'd have started out with ballad (though I doubt that would have done much good). It really is amazing how quickly a WHM can blow through all their MP on holy.

I'll give this guy the benefit of the doubt and say he was probably just trolling. Because I don't think anyone could honestly be that stupid, incompetent and belligerent. WHMs who toss out a few nukes when they're able, and know how to keep on top of their MP and heals are always welcome. I know it can get pretty boring on the umpteenth runthrough of the same dungeon, and spamming holy a few times here and there breaks up the monotony and all. WHMs who would rather DPS to the point that people are dying and they're running out of MP instead of healing should probably play DPS classes instead. I know its probably a little snotty of me, but my ballad is for emergencies and long, drawn out fights. Not for WHMs who don't know how to manage their MP, and would rather blow it all while playing at being a DPS. I tend to not play it for them unless they legitimately need it to keep going. More MP to cast holy more is not a legitimate need. And you should see some of the tantrums I've been on the receiving end of for saying that. This is just one of many.
