Another bad brayflox run and I'm part of the blame at least for the first boss. The tank was seriously under geared. This was apparent on the first pull and the damage she was tanking was way more than any other tank I've looked after so far. It didn't help that she was also a PLD, but I don't fault her for this as they struggle til lvl40. That being said, she was losing aggro all over place despite repeated flashes. I was very tired already after playing all day, so my mind wasn't where it was supposed to be for the first boss. I'm on sleep duty for the boss, but I cast wrong thing and we wipe, blah. Second attempt, I'm back in my grove, but the primary problem with the tank was chaotic for this fight.. It was a telling sign of how the next 2 bosses were going to be. When a debuff come up, I just know casting esuna could mean death anyway..as it means I'm not casting cure/cure II.

Skipping the second boss because that was tanked by the DPS mostly heh who were easier to heal..

Last boss, LOTS OF WIPES. I was not fooled by the little damage she was taking at first as I suspected that if she did not dodge the frontal AOE, she was going to take ridiculous amount of damage. Sure enough, each time she didn't dodge, near instant kill. If I didn't cast esuna first, DOT would kill her, but if I didn't cast cure II first, auto attack would kill her. 50% chance of her dying regardless of what I do. Then came the demoralizing moment of just saying fuck it all, and chain cast cure II amd keeping her topped off as much as possible. You're probably thinking my MP is flying out the window. It wasn't, that is until Aiatar begins spitting at everyone and now I'm having to cure the entire party + keeping the Grim Reaper from paying her a visit every 5 seconds. She drops 2 times in this fight. That second time I had no more MP.

MCH leaves and we get a BRD. Same thing, this time she's not dodging any AOE at all. I just...CANT keep her alive. She drops and I just leave her there, and the BRD is tanking and..very easy to keep alive.

I'll give her credit that she hung in there and had a good attitude mostly, she was low on morale though - giving the go ahead for us to leave, but I didn't want to since I did contribute to this bad run, and was only fair to see it through.
