Hey also on a controller here (PS3). I see you re from moogle too, feel free to get in touch if you want some tips about targetting via a controller ^^

Thanks, I have a healer friend who is very specialized in targetting with controller, really, she has told me about it a few times, but I am negatively stubborn on some stuff for some odd reason :/
Just thinking about it causes me a headache >_>;;

I just dont really wanna bother on Heals for other than maxing them out XD

Had a strange case in WOD the other day. We beat the first boss with zero issues, but then someone pulled the dragon boss too early and its aggro was bouncing all over the place. I tried to keep a few of my party members healed and I kinda fudged up on healing the tank, though the other healer also wasn't healing him. Tank proceeded to whine about getting no heals as he eats the floor. Aggro on the boss goes all over the place again and all 3 alliances slowly get killed off. People then decided to vote abandon AFTER JUST ONE WIPE and it passes.


Biggest. Waste. Of. Time.

Srs. o_o Are people pansies now? o_O One spill and people gotta run away...

5 headed dragon is the worst when people do that - his cleave is so wide it pretty much rips the entire raid apart easily from the get-go if he isn't spun away fast enough. I've had exactly what you described happen on several occasions (and why is it always via a DRG??). The chaos is strong in that one.
Well, on the upside, if the tank was that whiny I'd hate to see what the guy woulda been like for the rest of the raid... >_>
But still, what a pain in the arse... :/

I see it more with SMN than anything else. There is always some idiot who thinks it's funny to send their summon on to the boss before everyone is inside. I don't get why some people pay a sub to waste their own time and everyone else's by wiping the raid.

SMNs have this pet issue especially in trials...

My guess is that the problem occurs when it's either their first duty of the day or they just switched classes.
Setting your pet to obey while having a attackable target will make your pet go attack it.

Ugh, that's me every other time I switched to SCH to level it. I usually remember after it's initial sprinkle of AoE. After that, I slap the obey button a million times and hope no one noticed. :x
I haven't seen too many issues with SMNs, though - only now and then. Then again, I rarely see SMNs in a party, as of late o_o

That behavior is pretty much the behavior what I see from DRGs a lot. They just HAVE to jump stuff if it's not pulled soon enough for them.
