I know the pain of healing like no tomorrow and not getting commendations. I was healing Azly ( not sure if spelled right) everyone besides me were new, my hp was higher than the tank. Everything actually went well intill last boss, ( btw i'm a was a sch) I was like in OP mode, i danced the heals and dps dance, i was timing everything perfectly, help kill the adds while healing the tank. It was the first time i said " I think I finally understand how to be a good sch" . After the fight everyone left immediately. T.T ( Replying to Selli)

For sure. Before I had this awesome PC, I played wireless on a laptop, because it was all I had. Never again. It was so bad that the microwave messed with my connection whenever it was in use. Everyone I explained that to would say I was making stuff up because that's crazy, there's no way that's possible, the microwave, really? I googled it, it's definitely possible if your router's signal is a certain frequency, otherwise you tell me why my internet connection breaks whenever someone's warming up their dinner, and it would magically come back when they were done.

It is most certainly possible.
Microwave ovens typically use waves at a frequency of 2.45 GHz which overlaps with the channels used by wifi devices working in the 2.4 GHz band - which is the majority of them at the moment.

The reason that particular frequency band is popular is because it is free for anyone to use for any purpose - as long as your output power is kept within certain limits. This also means it has started to become very crowded, which is a reason why many newer wifi devices have started to use the 5GHz band instead.

So lately I've been working on leveling up my WHM. I've gotten put through the trial by fire teaching method by being placed into things such as Ramuh Ex and Odin (all sync'd) in order to learn better. Yesterday, I think that it paid off xD

Trials Roulette, got Titan HM (yes, I know, not THAT tough). This was a mess of a fight though sadly. Every DPS went down at some point (only 1 got knocked off via landslide though) and I was the only one to raise them. Had to res my co-healer at one point too. People standing in multiple stacks of WotL, standing in bombs (and even worse, running from one exploding bomb to the next exploding bomb), you know, the works. I did a total of 7 raises that match. But, we got through it 1st go, messy as it was. Thank god for having a BRD!
And it was just nice when we left to see my chat box become a stack of player comms ^^ Got 6

Still can't ignore the fact that a 20-30 ilevel difference does make it harder on the tank to keep hate. If the DPS you get is i200+ and knows their job really really well you may not be able to hold hate with i170-i180.

Totally agree, my PLD just hit 60 and I hadn't really done any gear grinding from when my DRK hit 60 so I was left with white 150 weapons and some gear, law accesories, and a few pieces from fractal/neverreap. I had a very hard time holding hate. With such a big ilvl difference you can basically only use your enmity combo, no authority, no goring blade, because if you do the dps just creep right up.

I can't wait for when I have better gear so I don't have to struggle so much and can do some damage.

A couple days ago I was tanking the Vault as PLD. Had a fantastic group. My internet was cutting in and out that day for some reason (thank you Cox), and I was lagging so hard the game was literally unplayable in the middle of the dungeon. I aplogized profusely and asked if they were ok with me resetting router real quickk, as that usually fixes the problem. They all sat down to wait for me.

Get back in, do trash room before last boss. Run in to pull boss but boss isn't moving. OH CRAP NOT AGAIN. We make it to maybe 25% before I start lagging so bad I can't make it out of his big aoes. Res and run back, can't even click on the shortcut. Someone asks if I want to reset again, it's ok, to get thru the final boss.

Reset router, log in, make it through last boss no problem. I even hit level 60!

Thank you guys for being so understanding.

Levelling roulette. Titan story mode. Summoner level-synced from 50+ only spamming Ruin in first phase, used one Bio after heart phase. I almost wanted to push her off the edge myself.

Unfortunately for me yesterday I was "that" DPS. I've been tanking and leveling DRG for the last few weeks but fancied some BLM action as a change of pace, it was my first job leveled and the one I feel most comfortable on, or so I thought. I started with ex roulette and I had no idea how rusty I was, I was awful. I lost Enochian more times than I can remember, died I think 3 times and got hit by every mechanic going and even managed to DC once. The healer was great, mainly because he was too busy telling the DRG how awful he was. Even at my lowest ebb I still outclassed the DRG by a mile so as you can imagine the whole run was painful and I was quite embarassed afterwards to be honest.

As a BLM main I wasn't going to take that so I queued up for 60 roulette and.... it wasn't much better lol. I got Fractal (yay) and it turns out I can screw that up too, especially when the tank couldn't hold hate for love nor money (he was a WAR with 27k HP doing small pulls, just saying) I finally got my act together for the last boss so at least that went smoothly.

It's amazing how out of practice you get after doing other roles for a few weeks, I'd better get my game together for all the new dungeons, or just tank them. In fact I'm tempted to change my main to PLD anyway but I'd actually feel bad leaving BLM after that shower of **** I just did.....

My fastest void ark run so far. FC friend asked to join in progress because half of her group left at chuculainn.
I queue, pops immediately; just as the screen finishes loading I get the message stating that I already received my weekly drop.
I got out with 3 commendation for literally doing nothing.

After I got out of that, my friend's group had already filled up.


Edit: I joined just as the last boss died. >_<
