Brayflox’s Longstop run. Party: Paladin (me), White Mage, Ninja and Monk. A tranquil run, until the Aiatar (last boss).

1st try: I held aggro,I dodged all the breath attacks and I kept the boss away from the poison pools, but I noticed that everyone was badly hurt and and had a lot of poison stacks . We wiped.

2nd try: I started with Shield Lob then Provoke and I ran to the bottom of arena to drag the boss, but the Ninja stole my aggro and died almost immediately. We wiped again.

3rd try: Everything fine until the middle of the fight when White Mage used all his MP. I barely kept me alive using Cure on myself, but I held the aggro and we won.

Just had an ST run where impatient DPS pulled Xande before a group's tank or healers were in, along with one of my group's DPS.
We beat him anyways but bleh, me and the other healer picked up the slack and kept healing and rezzing their dps.

Had a tank in WOD who decided during the Cerberus fight to hit return instead of letting me revive him. Our team nearly wiped, but me and the other healer picked everyone up. We asked why the tank left us and he said that us healers were not doing our jobs properly so he'd rather teleport away and save on repair costs (all while ignoring the fact that this tank was afk mostly and no one was grabbing adds off of me so I had to save myself). After telling him to grow up, he went on a tirade on how he played MMOs since so and so game and how he knows how to do his job properly, wah wah wah.


Then at the Cloud of Darkness, none of the healers in the other alliances were healing their tanks properly and the tanks were losing hate. When the boss went to our tank, she hit him hard before we could get some good heals in and killed him. Tank then bitched at me and the other healer again for "not doing our jobs" and yelled at us for not using Esuna, despite the fact that Bleeding can't be cured in that fight. Everyone in our party was getting pissed off at the tank and he said he was going to report me and the other healer. We promptly booted him out and gotten a MUCH more pleasant tank afterwards.

Lol that guy who tells you how to do your job without understanding how the fight works or how your job works within it. Those "Esuna me bro!" types are on my hate list along with the people who keep dying and never shut up asking for a raise in chat when they do. If there is a pressing need for me to esuna somebody i would be doing it and not just those in my party the whole raid XD.

So... let's get a little serious here. I had a horrible experience with this new "daily" (weekly?) quest. And I don't mean in just one of the raids. Ooooh no. All three.

The idiot that I am I had to go in order so I started with LotA (yaaaaay). I hate this place so much... Sooo basically, without getting into too much detail? Trolls. And which team had trolls? Mine! Of course! I think there were literally only 3 of us who were actually serious. We didn't fight a single boss without wiping at least once. It was sooooo much fun. Also, KB can go fuck himself.

Next was ST. Ah ST. How I love/hate this place. The issues here were... Well we never got a message for any new players but yet people were having issues with mechanics? What? I saw someone on my team run around a little with a purple orb and then start DPSing the boss. Then the orb exploded. And then at another point four of us (myself, the other healer and 2 DPS) were standing on a puddle and... someone brought an ice orb over. Yay. That's five of us all frozen. My team was screwed. The whole raid didn't wipe though. Thank god. The other issue was with the other healer on my team not dodging any of the quakes from Xande. We took so long to take him down he ended up doing three of them and each one killed my healer ally. WTF...

Then I get into World of Darkness. I really like this place. A lot. But this run got a little personal... Before Cerberus I asked in Alliance chat which team would be getting eaten. People discussed it and whatever but a comment in the middle of the convo was strange "I'd rather get eaten then look at that ugly name". Okay? Well during the fight the other healer on my team asked "Which name is ugly" and I said "I was wondering the same thing." Turns out it was my name? My tank replied to guy with "That's rude" before I even saw what he said. Basically because my charcters name is "Estelle Heartilly" it isn't creative and terible and ugly. And something about a cesspool(?). Becasue I'm taking the names of two character from popular RPGs (two character I happen to like) it is a bad name. I wasn't really offended because he didn't like my name, but he was incredibly rude. I started to ask him why he was saying that and such, and he started to talk to me like I was an idiot. This was during Cloud of Darkness too... We ended up wiping and I apologized to my team, but they told me it was fine and that he was being an ass and stuff. I don't care if you don't like my username, really, and I know it's not creative. But don't be rude about it... We ended up wiping more than once, with my team gradually getting more and more ticked that the other teams weren't even paying attention to meteor mechanics at all. We eventually finished, but it was clear my team did flat out the best. We had very few deaths and were on top of all the meteors. It was crazy.

Blah. Raids...

Just had one of those runs where you can't just help but wonder.

Doing Titan HM run for a FC members relic. DPS don't know what they're doing. The MT and the other are great, though.

Cut the story short. Titan's heart is just shattered and he's at roughly... 45%? All DPS are dead. Other tank is dead. Me and the other healer kept trying to get the DPS up, but to no avail. They were horribly geared and we simply couldn't keep them alive long enough through the tumults which had now reached 7 times or so.

Fast forward, Titan is hitting 20% HP now from just the tank hitting it. Me and the other healer are holding swiftcast to get up the BRD just before gaols on the other healer, who uses Mages, DPS's the gaol down and then dies during the next tumult. The other healer is freed and we pop everything to keep us two and the tank alive on the tumults which are now hitting an ungodly amount of times that I can no longer count.This repeats itself for over 10 minutes or so until we down Titan at the very end with 2 healers and the MT.

The OT and other DPS leave in a rage quit, without even a thank you for getting them through Titan HM.

Kill. Me.

Ran Trial DR on my DRG and got into Ifrit HM. About half the party was "new" (no Sold bonus message, but fairly low HPs / gear scores), including both tanks. Wasn't going to give it too much thought, just planned to Stun eruptions on DRG and help them smash Ifrit to history since this is the first real trial of the game.

PLD starts initial pull and I go straight into Ifrit. Without too much trouble, I pull hate. I was expecting that in all honesty, so I Elusive Jump away and give the PLD a few more seconds to build hate before I jump right back into things. Ifrit at this time is going nuts, cleaving and breathing on random party members, so clearly the MT is having trouble holding hate.

After a few more seconds, I pull hate again.

Okay...

Without much recourse, I decide that it might be best if I just MT after all, to prevent unintentional cleaves and deaths. Like, there IS Novus WHM standing there, they should be able to solo heal this without issue, even on a semi-squishy DRG like myself.

Oh, then I die due to lack of heals.

I'm not quite sure how someone with a Novus and drops from Shiva EX and Turn 6 can be so... unattentive.

Welp, at least I got the best hate reset of all time thanks to that.

I'm back on my feet and I just go straight in, doing my thing and watching the WHM at work. WHM is eating random AoEs, taking two tackles to the face, just overall making me think "Just what are you doing?"

Oh, then the MT dies. Yep, just goes splat. I now have hate once again and Ifrit is pounding my face in.

Once again, I get hardly any heals (the new WHM gave me a 1.1K Cure II, which I'm thankful for) before the WAR OT takes Ifrit off me and tanks it in the middle.

Well, at this point Ifrit dies, but needless to say, I wasn't impressed with Mr. Novus WHM. I don't quite get how people can get such gearing and play so... poorly >.>;

[SummonerSenah]

I did WoD as whm yesterday and even though the other healer was better geared, I ended up doing the bulk of the healing and raising. When I died on Cloud of Darkness, someone in another party raised me even though the other healer in my party was both alive and not out of mana.

This thread has kind of turned into a general complaint thread it seems. o_o

@Summoner: I know what that's like. Oh boy, do I...

Isn't that the purpose?
