Not df but I have a mighty need to share it anyways:
When you spend hours upon hours in solo PotD and get there solo without wipes and just as you pulled the boss your internet connection gives you the stinky finger.
I don't even want to log back in now >.>

Working towards Zenith phase of my relic and queued up for Amdapor Keep as SCH. I say hello and it is my first time, and no one says anything, and immediately think to myself, "It's going to be one of those runs." Sure enough it was, and the tank decides to pull every single mob all the way to the first boss. I am not kidding. All of them. Do these kind of pulls happen later in the game? I couldn't understand why someone, knowing their healer is new to the instance, would leeroy the whole effing dungeon.

Anywho, despite this large pull and the ensuing wipe, I almost healed through it. I rezzed the tank once during the pull, and could not rezz him again as swiftcast was down and I had aggro. I was using Selene, and if I had Eos, we probably would have actually made it. After the wipe, I asked him to slow it down a little and brought out Eos. He said 'Ok' before proceeded to leeroy again, but now I was more ready for it, and sprinted to keep up and healed through his large pulls. No DPS from me though until the boss fights.

Anywho. Just a little frustrated right now, and decided to post this funny vid:

Why your healer hates you

Queue into a trial with 2 new players. One pug healer drops party immediately. New players exit cutscene, gate drops, dragoon IMMEDIATELY jumps on the boss and pulls. -_-

Big pulls are fairly common later on. That's still a massive pull though...

Got Crysalis for trial roulette on my PLD. Our monk proceeded, after we got buffs, to shoulder tackle before I could grab aggro (instant buffs were up I moved and he just pounced before I could get in shield lob range). I let him tank and die before provoking and went on our way. Had a wipe due to I think the DRG not knowing to LB the tear... but next pull the monk waited

First of all, I am like the world's worst BLM, but I'm trying to get her to 60, so I'm just doing content with her whenever I can.
Apologies to anyone who gets my BLM in a duty... orz

Anyways, FC mate was leveling an alt, and he's reached Dzemael, so we queue in together (he's on WAR, and I'm on my terrible BLM).

This healer.
The answer to everything: REGEN!
Tank is dying? REGEN!
DPS take 100 damage? REGEN!
DPS are taking 0 damage? REGEN!
Nothing is happening at all? REGEN!

Also, used Holy on bosses.
I'm done.

[Ganglyzilla]

REGEN!

Reminds of the Chrysalis run I had on my alt a week ago... As a WHM main, it made me die a little on the inside.

Had a tank bud who did this to me. He hallowed as soon as we stopped before the gate but I was in blind panic mode at that point. Our DPS were two BLMs so it worked out, but damn, I sympathize.

I couldn't understand why someone, knowing their healer is new to the instance, would leeroy the whole effing dungeon.

To be fair, normal mode AK is balanced to be done in ilvl 50-60 gear.
Nowadays even just doing your jobquests you get gear that puts you way beyond the requirements for said dungeon,
so large pulls are the norm since it is really hard to die there, even with the ilvl sync set to "only" 110.
Personally, I find AK fun exactly because of the giant pulls that are possible there
(later dungeons usually have lots and lots of walls that stop progress until every tiny group of monsters got beaten by themselves because SE hates speedruns)
But I can see how that would be overwhelming for a healer who is new to the dungeon.
Don't be frustrated, try to think of how enjoyable it is to actually be forced to focus on healing for once and do everything in your power to keep the group alive ^-^
