Flash + Riot Blade Combo + Sheltron procs == PLD will not run out of mana any time soon. -_-

Haven't thought about BLM limit break pulling the dolls in Antitower. On the one hand it sounds like it could be a good idea because the dolls don't aggro normally, but I can't help but also think of it as a wasted LB because ... well, it's not hard to take the dolls down normally and it doesn't seem to come with much risk.

omg you saying there are more then one such out there ? oy... so sorry you had such a run...sorry for all those that have such runs....oy

I feel bad for the healer and dps that replaced us after we left. I really hate when dps think its a good idea to que as a tank just for faster que times.

With correct DPSyou use the lb to explode 3 puppets and if there is no mistake and a competent healer (aia one that DPS because there is no heal to do on that boss)
The boss should die some time after the doll house spell (sometime the lb 1 is back at that time)

Got into a Toto Rak run today where the two DPS' were doing a Master/slave RP in party chat. I ended up leaving because my discomfort level was way too high. I'm okay with RP. Hell I dabble a little in it myself. ERP is fine to me too. Just don't ERP in party chat with two randoms around jeez.

Had a similar experience once in the dragon vulcano dungeon
They originally were a premade group, but the internet broke down for one of them so they looked for a replacement healer and I got in.
Well, I didn't mind since it was nothing explicit, they were daring to sell off their slave and I got treated as a new bidder or something..?xD I just went along with it and we had a lot of fun until the end, where the master made clear that the threat was just a punishment and he'd keep his slave aaaall to himself..
They also thanked me for going along with it and I was one interesting experience richer :3

Then again, it takes a lot to make me feel uncomfortable and I totally understand if others wouldn't want to deal with it.

I wonder what their previous runs were like to expect a faceroll. There's some heavy incoming damage in that dungeon and it's not something to undergear by 90 ilvls while wearing the wrong accessories on tank. -_-

It was a nightmare. He couldn't even keep the boss on him and the SMN had to summon Titan... It was just bad.

I feel your pain. Leveling WHM on my alt, I got a tank that faced the boss directly at me... twice in Stone Vigil. First being when the dragon jumps up. He ran over to sat right next to me, which meant I got slammed on. Now I'd be more forgiving if he had caused four wipes already. Just grudgingly tried to heal through everything but took another cleave when he turned the boss into me. ;-;

And yes, five wipes on Stone Vigil normal. He couldn't keep aggro at all and the BLM kept panic running, so I spent a good portion of the dungeon running around trying to keep everyone alive. Later he decided to pull without me even nearby (following one of the wipes). Somehow, I managed to rush back just as his HP dropped to like 200. Most stressful run I've ever done. What topped it off is I had tried to explain to him he needed to occasionally tab between mobs to make sure he still had enmity, but the BLM chimed in to say not to do that. x.x

Snip

Oh god, I don't know how you managed to stay in that lol

[Seryne]

Snip.

It takes a lot to make me uncomfortable as well. It's just these two were describing sexual acts in great detail. Not something meant for party chat y'know?
I'll admit I have RP'd with randoms in dungeons. It's fun as hell to. Just never ERP like those two were. It's best to keep that to tells or a LS.

[AngeloFlick]

Yeah this is so annoying. And it's not even necessary really because no raid-wide damage goes out for a few seconds at least. I usually tank this but sometimes it makes me want to queue as a healer just so I can avoid this happening.

This is one of the reasons I don't like tanking A8 with randoms. Yeah the whole party gets blasted when he lands but no one besides the tanks will take any more damage... unless one of the healers starts spamming group heals before they can get aggro.


On that note I have two A8 stories after queuing on my dragoon the day before reset to try for a shaft or spring.

Run 1- We get a warrior and dark knight tank. The WAR keeps dying during phase one. Then during robots the other tank (DRK) doesn't know how to handle Brawler and turns the tank buster into the raid at least once. We wipe 3 times without even making it to Brute. Vote kick pops up on the DRK and it passes. Promptly the other tank and both healers leave. The DPS who apparently started the kick tells us the DRK even didn't have provoke. We wait around but the tanks are never replaced. Vote abandon.

Run 2- Everything is smooth until halfway through Brute Justice. DPS is excellent, people are doing mechanics and playing their roles. We've got this. After the robot dance phase I wait for the safe space to pop the LB3 after his super jump. It goes off as it should, DPS is still excellent, Brute is almost dead. Double rocket punch, run out for floor missiles, run in for the shared.... wait. Where is the marker? Oh God he's too far awa-BOOM. One healer and two DPS go down because the guy with the mark didn't run back in. The other healer can't LB3 because I just used it. We still got this though, right? He's only at 10%. Brute goes through his mechanics while we desperately try to finish him off. Another mark- BOOM now it's just me and one healer. Brute is at 2%. I'm dodging everything I can while trying to deal as much damage as possible, knowing one good hit will probably finish me. I survive the Super Jump as the healer desperately keeps me up while trying to nuke as hard as possible. 1%. Tank buster is next so I'm wincing and waiting for the coup de grace.
The screen goes black.
You obtain 20 Allagan tomestones of esoterics.
You obtain 10 Allagan tomestones of lore.
You have already received a Midan gear and cannot obtain another until the next reset.
Brute Justice is defeated.

3 comms and I won one of the shafts. I felt like a damn hero.
