Bukakke manor

I had a hard time trying not to laugh out loud just from reading this...
If you don't know what the first word means I suggest you stick to the actual name of the dungeon. But if you do then I /brofist you, after all that dun is full of succubi :v

I'm the same when it comes to Titan, though this is on my WHM. I've only ran him twice, and both times were awful.

The first time;

* I was already nervous.
* I got hit by two landslides, despite running the second I saw it.
* My entire family decided to come in and talk to me, ask me questions, and prod me despite me asking very nicely if they could just give me five minutes.
* They did not.
* I was too distracted. Got knocked off around two or three times.
* I was so angry at myself, I apologised profusely to the party, and quit.

The second time;

* I was nervous again.
* Me and Tank got knocked off.
* Ran out of MP.
* Luckily had a kind Bard who helped me.
* Bard died just before the end.

Sigh. I'm afraid to run it again. Brayflox was kinder to me.

The more times you run it, the better you get. Whenever I suck at a trial/ dungeon, I run it over and over until I'm better than most, lol.

I'm a WHM too and used to be the same with Titan - my first run ever, I was knocked off within the first 30 seconds and an Arcanist carried everyone through to the end while I lay there... the shame.

Now, even on the harder versions I breeze through it with barely any effort. Most of the trouble comes from the DPS who regularly get caught by the bombs and WoLs.

You cast Cure II.
 Critical! Kallistra Noblus recovers 18129 HP.

Boyfriend and I got bored today. XD

[EDIT] Not really a horror story, but I'm sure we could have done something much more productive than trying to get the biggest Cure II crit for 3 hours.

Titan is fine once you get used to his animations. Landslide especially is really slow he does this slow turn before he does it so you can move away when he faces somebody. He'll crouch with his hands together like he's doing squats when WotL is coming up. He also does the exact same attack rotation every time so you just learn what comes in what order eventually.

So another day, another titan ex try.

queue pops, everyone gets in.

Other healer: hi first time in here
random person: Well did you read the starts beforehand?
other healer: no?

We then explained that with goal (or whatever the name is) the healer that gets targetted has to run to B and the all the rest keeps hugging his ass.

3 times in a row when i got goaled first the other healer was standing next to me followed by getting thrown off.

We had people flying off constantly, from dps to tanks to the other healer. Then 1 tank left and we got another one which just ran to the walking disaster the second everyone has respawned.

Never got to the hearth phase today.

SOMEDAY i will kill this primal and it will be glorious...but it was not today.

[Fevelle]

Why is it that somedays my reflexes are slower? I never had problems with any dungeons until Coil, but today i let people die to trash at Stone Vigil NORMAL. WHY??
And why do DKs take so much damage? OMG

And why do DKs take so much damage? OMG

They overpull with crap gear is generally the answer.

There needs to be a DPS horror story thread, because I just got a major one today as a MNK. Though the healer involved was probably cursing the Tank under his/her breath at the final boss so I guess this... sorta counts?

So I land Satasha HM for High Level Duty Roulette... again, for a third time in a row. Entire dungeon is mostly smooth up until the final boss. We engage the Kraken and things proceed smoothly at first... until I notice I suddenly get the Kraken's aggro not even half way into the fight. The DRK takes it back for a little while as I go around killing the Kraken arms along with the SMN, and then go back to destroying the Kraken itself. Once again, I get aggro. I'm beginning to wonder "WTF" over here, as the tentacle arms once again start attacking me. I then actually pay close attention to the Tank as I move over to attack the Kraken again... to notice the Tank is only auto attacking. AUTO ATTACKING! Not even using his other attack skills. Just... auto attacking. I don't know if the Tank was having connection problems or what, but I never saw a disconnect symbol by his name every time I looked at him, so I assumed he suddenly got lazy.

So I have to turn on Fists of Earth just to stop taking so much damage from the tentacles, which of course isn't enough being a MNK and all. Second Wind, used. Still losing HP pretty fast. Bloodbath, quick start attacking the Kraken arms again to get HP back via attacking. STILL LOSING HP. I run back over to get in range of the SCH, who was dumping Lustrates on me now to keep me up. I die anyway.

What happens the moment I die? The Tank suddenly starts attacking again. AFTER I DROPPED. SCH swiftcast raises me and I start mauling the Kraken again, opening with a LB2. The moment I got back up? Tank stops attacking again. I began to wonder if he secretly had a personal vendetta against me, or was trying damn hard to troll me. Moments after the Kraken dies, both the Tank and the Healer quickly leave. (Tank leaves a "gg" though before leaving) I clearly wasn't the only one who noticed that the Tank was only auto attacking the Kraken though, as the SMN called it out too after the Tank left. "He did nothing to get aggro off of you. :/" ... something along those lines.

I'll pray it was connection issues over a troll attempt, but I have no means of knowing which it was exactly in this case.

Got another one. Though it's not so much a "horror story" as a "facepalm story."

Ended up with Satasha NM on DR where all the players were new to the dungeon, so I took the lead, gave them advice, etc. When we got to the large room with two sets of doors (you go through one to get the key for the other) I took them around to the right, avoiding the deck where most of the pirates were, just because it's a little quicker, and it shows them another route they can take. It's right before this that our archer decides to BRB, and he comes back just as we've made our way to the other side and have about four enemies pulled. Mr. Archer then sees us on the other side, and instead of looking a bit too his right (or even waiting for a minute), he immediately charges RIGHT ACROSS the middle of the deck, pulling every single pirate on it with him. (ꐦ ಠ皿ಠ )

Not sure if facepalm or horror... queued for leveling yesterday and got Ifrit normal. From cutscene viewing/other indicators it seemed the other players were new.

DRG immediately runs in without waiting for buffs or tank. I heal, buff party, tank gets aggro. Tank reminds everyone to focus nail when it pops. ARC and I did, DRG kept attacking Ifrit, we wipe.

I asked DRG by name why he thought we wiped. No response. We respawn...repeat opening scenario, he runs in, pulls Ifrit without waiting for buffs, ignores nail. We wipe. By this time all of us are making pointed remarks in chat calling him out by name.

Third attempt, he runs in. I buff the other party members and ignore DRG. When nail pops I dps so hard the tank dies (((( but we passed that phase. DRG dies because I stopped healing him due to his idiot behavior. ARC kites Ifrit and I keep her healed while keeping up dot and hitting Ifrit as healing allows and we finally cleared.

DRG goes back to watching cutscene while probably thinking the whole thing is my fault. I commed the archer and got a comm but felt bad about the whole thing.
