Be more patient with them. 4 or 5 wipes is no reason to get upset and QQ about it. You are actually fortunate you got someone who learned it in 4 or 5 wipes and is trying adapt. You'll probably need more than 500 wipes to clear T9 with random people you find on the DF.

4 or 5 wipes to something this easily fixed are definitely cause for being upset. They have less to do with the mechanics of the encounter and more to do with the person knowing what their own skills do. Would you be mad if your tank went in without Shield Oath/Defiance 4 or 5 times in a row? Hell, I'd probably kick them after 2.

I haven't levelled NIN, but I fail to see how running the wrong buff on 1 DPS class would wipe even Levi Ex. One DPS isn't that important.

They are if they're stunning the crap out of the caster add, which only serves to build up its stun resistance and prevents the Paladin from locking it. Hysteria on the entire party isn't exactly conducive to clearing Levi EX.

@ OP - Honestly, if someone doesn't answer me after several attempts in chat, I throw a few <se.1> in there. Since that's the sound that tells use, people will usually look at the chat box out of reflex at that point.
