using any other skills would have slowed me down too much

how so....?

[sayafrost]

I had a really nice run in helatali NM on my alt (most group was my fc mates but one dps) - this lancer was really nice, as on my alt i am not really geared as a tank, he always went and tried to attack the mob I was attacking, and then at the end I noticed he was lancer 35 I gave him advice for getting dragoon, and he was really nice and thanked us for helping him and giving advice - it didn't happened in a long time something like this.

On the other side I am leveling on my main my last healer (astro) - I had few tanks in few dungeons that I wanted to strange; i kept them alive there was no wipe but, one was a tank that he run before even I managed to buff and then kept running during the whole dungeon I was like healing like crazy, and for example there are dungeons where I dps as a healer without problems, but during this run was almost impossible if not in 1 moment. Then there was a tank that pulled mobs using provoke, and I had to time well my healing because if I didn't I got aggro °_°


I mean I get it, you want to do fast things and everything, but at least say freaking Hello at the beginning of the dungeon!

My only thought is, "I'm not going down without a fight!" so I'm determine to kill the scorpions by myself, spamming nothing but straight shot and heavy shot (using any other skills would have slowed me down too much).

Just as a tip to a new bard:
No it won't

ooooh sharing a good story this time.

I was doing level 60 dungeon because I needed eso, on whm, and I got neverreap (I'm one of the few that actually likes it lol) Anyway it was just your typical run nothing special your usual pull heal holy spam. And we get to the end and the tank says "Awesome Heals" and I get all giggly and bashful. And apparently the 2 dps and tanks were friends and they all agreed they enjoyed my healing.

It's just nice every once in a while to have a nice group nothing eventful and then be complimented. Feels Good Man.

I rarely get coms on WHM nowdays... even though I do heals & holy. I'm a little salty now man :P

Sorry I'm sure you will get comms on whm and it will feel good just keep queuing dungeons! lol

Right, happy story, followed by a my venting, because I'd rather my first post in this thread not be just me whinging.

First story, Short one, I'm Gearing up my Summoner for the Vault by doing Aery runs ((I'd been gearing up Scholar before that)), and after a few runs that are basically slow slugfests, my second last run for my full Gear set has the team practically walking through the place, murdering everything before us by the time my Dots are done ticking out. I'm thinking "Oh. Oh wow. Is this what it is like working with people who know what they're doing?"

Second story, a litte more recently, I am leveling all my classes to 30, and it gets to Archer, level 15, so I enter Satsasha. It's only Sastasha, so everything ought to go fine, even if the Tank is new. Okay, Little trouble holding Agg. we can manage. Oh the lancer appears to have been told that big pulls are better, and you should AOE everything causing him to DPS Pull and spam Death Blossom. Well I can't do that as a level 15 Archer, I don't get my first AOE for another level. I try switching targets, as you are supposed to, but the Glad wasn't flashing enough and basically everyone was pulling from him. Our sole saving grace was our level 60 in blue gear WHM, which even with Level Sync basically apparently had the MP reserves and healing power to just spam their AOE healing to pull all the Agg to themselves, and just heal tank the fights, after the Lancer has stopped trying to mass pull ((Still Deathblossom spamming though)) So we get to the final boss with our Tank that can't hold single target Agg, our Lancer who winds up second on the Agg list even when they are trying to single target DPS, and our White Mage. White Mage declares "We're going to burn him. " Spend the entire fight at the top of Orcatooth's Hate list thinking "Oh god, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die" as wave after wave of Baleen guards show up.

Well, there's the possibility of his keybindings making it difficult to use some skills while moving.

Basically, yes. I play with a controller. Half of my skills require me to use the d-pad, which means taking my thumb off the left thumb stick. Unless I'm doing something terribly wrong and don't know it, I can't use those skills while running. Also, I was a bit frantic so I was just running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

What I do with mycontroller:
All my on GCD attacks and main off GCD attacks are on the buttons, specifically so I can run and shoot when needed.
Songs, CDs and (andthenewHWskillscuznoroom) are on the DPad.

If you want a picture I can do that later.
