That's why I was so confused.

The only thing I could think of is either this person had literally been carried through every single MSQ dungeon in the game, or they were a troll. I was half expecting them to do okay (maybe they just had bad taste in jokes or something?) only they were the worse of the 2. The "I've never done dungeons before" Dps was the one who rage quit after feeding herself to the boss twice. I couldn't believe it. Given that this player also seemed to ignore simple dungeon mechanics as well (such as letting the Tank actually do their job, for example) I almost could have believed they were new to dungeons, but again.... HOW??

So I had a weird one.

I was doing my Low Level Roulette for tomestones and I got Sunken Temple of Qarn. Okay, whatever. When I started the tank was acting weird. I'm not sure how to explain it. He was moving around very slowly and seemed to be looking for something. He paused in front of the mass of rubble blocking the set of stairs to the left after the first pull (the set you use during Qarn HM), so I was thinking he was may have been confused on which Qarn he was currently in. Whatevers, he has all level 50 equipment so there shouldn't be any issues... Well he didn't know how to hold enmity at all. I stood around for a good 5 seconds or so t the start of some pulls waiting for him to use Overpower or something, but a lot of the time he kinda just floated around, attacking stuff at random. I would literally cast 1 Cure spell and I would pull hate from something. I wasn't the only one either. The BLM did it a lot, and the NIN too. One thing that sucked for the NIN was the tank would dodge AoEs but not go back to where he was and instead stand in his new spot, turning the mobs and bosses constantly.

We wiped on the first boss. The tank died twice from doom, the BLM did too but he apologized for it, the NIN tanked the boss for a good while. It was too much damage, and the bees didn't help. So we wiped. Next attempt the tank removes his doom without anyone explaining it to him. He must have just forgotten... Everything goes okay until the second boss, which goes fine but... The tank asked "everyone knows what to do with bombs right?" I "lol"ed, and the BLM relied with "lmao what?" It was strange...

The tank also didn't understand how the statue head things and the platforms work. He kept pulling the first one too far even when the NIN explained. He also stood around and walked back and forth between the two rooms with the flame of magic and fruit of knowledge without entering either. The BLM asked him if he was scared. He eventually decided the enter one of the rooms after about 3 minutes.

The final boss went fine. The NIN and I worked together great in this fight. We focused adds together and everything. It was cool. I gave him my comm and I got one in return.

It was just a really weird run... I don't know if the tank was new, drunk, high, forgetful... Eeh. I got my tomestones so whatever. >_>

Or the player bought the account / was lent it by a friend or relative.

This what I was thinking. Sucks for them that they got AV as their first dungeon.

Weird is an understatement lol. It sounds like your tank was confusing multiple parts from multiple different dungeons within the same run. Going the wrong way would be Quarn HM, and the bomb mechs for a Golum boss fight would have been CopperBell HM...

Either this guy was high as a kite, or was experiencing the onset of Alzheimer's or something... Very strange indeed.

I hadn't thought of that...

Talk about an awful first dungeon run, then. I joked at the beginning that AV would be a terrible dungeon to get as a first, but I never actually expected the person was serious... If they were, then I almost feel bad for them... though not as bad as I do for myself for having to heal that mess >.>

Right? I almost asked him if he knew which dungeon we were currently running lol. It was the strangest run I ever did for sure. Not the worst, just the strangest.

If I see 1 more tank pull 3 groups of mobs and only use 1 cooldown while I'm trying to dps I'm gonna scream.
I had a WAR tank in Pharos Sirius HM that only used foresight during trash pulls and CONSTANTLY moved the mobs out of my shadowflare.

Even worse with AST when you put up regens, run over to tank to use Collective Unconcious, tank sees bubble, moves out of it, wheel of fate doesnt do up on tank, you sit there facepalming...........

I think there are those tanks you get in DF who dont understand in dungeons, multiple packs of trash do significantly more damage than the bosses, and that where you need to use those cooldowns..........
