Ive seen a few triggerhappy bards now that people are farmin Nexus. This one bard just ran to boss with full cds, tanks were sorting out who takes what on Levi hm.

Hmm I haven't had a problem with any BRDs, yet - just seemingly all DRGs... o_O One of them ran up to, smacked and pulled Ifrit HM before I could even finish my second SS. Didn't even get protect out yet. >.> ((mainly because I usually start SSing those that loaded and wait for the whole party before casting Protect)).
That was a fun party dance Ifrit did before the tanks could get his hate. And that was probably the third time in two days - just this one was the worst.
I have bad luck with dragoons, it seems.

I wish I could keep a broom on my WHM and flog the next dragoon I see that does this. Just start whacking them with the broom and screaming, "NO. BAD DRAGOON. BAD. NO. YOU DO NOT TANK." :|

That needs to be an emote. With a pull-out broom.

So, two members of my FC wanted to run dungeons last night for myth and party leader decided on setting Brayflox. They haven't done it before - I did it once, completed and never went back - but ages ago. Needless to say, I didn't remember much of anything for that dungeon (except avoidance). Luckily the pugged BLM did.

We're doing pretty 'okay' for the majority of it but come to the last boss...... wipe after wipe after wipe after.... mainly via bomb range after knock back (not far enough) after Holying/AoEs.

At one point, we get the bugger down to maybe 5% hp. It came to a point where I was about to die - cast cure 2. Realized I was still targeted on the tank. Shit. Click bombed the ground to detarget in a panic (had maybe 15hp) and slapped Benediction. Tank still ate it. Died to snipers. We wipe.

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

End of story - the BLM left (I don't blame them), new BLM came in and we sorta semi-insta-cleared o_O Maybe it was luck, maybe it was just a group jive thing...

Brayflox + (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Adding to this boss fail...
We were doing better - Got bombs out to the rim faster - but with a very small window between blast radiuses. Due to that, I was doing about 2 Holys + multi raising + Cure IIs, etc per bomb throw. At one point, I Holy'd once to rush them out - and then no MP. Only thing I could do was run up to one & rightclick to try to thwack it :| (couldn't even Stone). Inevitable death.

After first BLM left and the new one came in, we did... pretty well o_O I can't say the tactics changed at all, so, no idea. We survived without too much trouble but wiped once... got through all the bomb stages and then.. one big super bomb popped out. "da fack? o_o" Didn't remember a thing about this megabomb when I first saw it - after death I remembered it was a "KILL BOSS BEFORE BOOM".
Next round we finally killed it pretty fast - no fuss, no muss, no mega bomb dropped. You'd never think we had been having trouble >_>;
