Your derpiest noob moments

[LeeraSorlan]

using cover on a monk during landslide, finds out cover actually transfers the knockback effect to me, felt kinda stupid.

T5, at the dive bombs.
Last divebomb before ADDs and I'm running low on mp and low on HP (after being bounced) and running back to the pit.

Brain: "I normally hit regen on myself/others when I need to heal but can't stop moving."
Conscious thought: "Don't do it. The snakes will auto-aggro on you."
Brain: "Oh gad, the HP, it hurts!"
Logic: "Don't do it!"
Fingers: "Derp." *Muscle memory-hits regen, pulls all snakes.*

-.-



Also, completely unrelated raid derp -

Was having a bad run and I think I got flustered.
Ran to the start position of the next room after Scylla in ST, casted protect and went to swiftcast SSII like usual but....
Fingers: *hits Cleric*
Brain: Wat
Fingers: *Hits Presence of Mind*
Brain: Stawp
Fingers: *hits SSII while still knowing Swift still needs to be hit*
Brain: Why!?
Fingers: *steps to cancel cast, FINALLY hits SC and then SSIIs*
Brain: *Hopes nobody noticed a thing* .....*quietly removes Cleric stance* >.>;

I think I just needed a moment to close my eyes and settle for a moment after the crap that was Scylla, but jeebus. I hit everything but what I wanted. rofl

Was running Prae with a new FC mate. It's been a looong time because I hated that awkwardness of getting caught between wanting to stay with the newbies and seeing HP bars dropping >_> The whole cutscene crap. So I stopped doing the Main Scenario roulette.
Anyway.
Hit Ultima and... went to simply strafe out of an AoE. Hand manage to hit the start button on my keyboard, instead - which causes the Start menu to open. Take the AoE to the face.
Go to strafe out of another AoE. Fingers hit the between 'crack' portion of the 'Q' and 'Tab' buttons. I start to run out and then stand there and take the AoE to the face, again, as my finger leans more to the 'Tab' button.
I have small fingers. They just apparently misbehave now and again -_-?

It took me until I was like level 35 or so, and my girlfriend who had just started the game at the time, to realize I could use the big aetheryte in towns to teleport to the smaller ones.....Until then I had just ran to the nearest small one and used it XD....you can't imagine how big the face palm was :P.

I just found out now, from your post here T_T.

My very, very first level 50 dungeon back in 2.0. I think it was AK? Or WP? One of those two.

I was a fresh WHM, I just started the relic quest and I had been out in the open world fighting so naturally I had Cleric Stance on.

I was so excited and nervous for my first end game dungeon, that I had forgotten dungeons didn't automatically turn off Cleric so I buffed the party and the tank started to pull. I'm still in my full AF at this point and I am SPAMMING Cure II's on this tank trying to keep him alive. I was freaking out thinking that maybe level 50 dungeons really were that hard and maybe I wasn't cut out to be a healer.

No one said anything. ._.

When we got to the first boss, I noticed Cleric was on. I felt really stupid. Thankfully the Tank had been pulling 1 group at a time. I'm pretty sure the party thought I was... special.

Running GEX, tried to Fester one of the Olson twins and hitting a Spiny Plume with Bane instead.

[Zell1226]

In T10, we wiped at 1% a few seconds after hitting the soft enrage. As we are preparing for the next pull I notice I forgot to turn Fists of Fire on.

Similar stuff happens with me and my FC members. Back when they had the bug with the NIN poisons resetting all the time, he'd forget to turn it on a few times. There's also the random occasion he'll switch jobs, we'll be in T13 and everyone is like "man, DPS is slightly off.."

Or when I'm tanking Bahamut and absolutely getting destroyed for some reason. Then the WAR takes aggro from me, and I suddenly realized I just job changed and didn't have Shield Oath.

[Spawnie]

do this quite alot when im tired change to buff bar cast my buffs then rush to change back to my attack bar.. spamming attacks for a few minutes to relise im still on my buff bar lol ._.

[Defteros]

alex map, back in the days
low on health, still in astral fire, and low on mana.
I try to use transpose so I can heal myself
instead I click on Convert

[sayafrost]

In my fc they needed a tank, I admit I'm not really good by I keep the aggro and everything.
We go to hullbreaker isle... half the dungeon i have difficulties keeping aggro but I keep it, it's just stressful...... and then..... of course I had difficulties.... shield oath was not on.

Second thing is if I am summoner so many times it happens that my pet gets locked out of the boss *facepalm*
