Just party with one of the worse tank i ever get, tank cant even do basic tanking stuff
- tank right in front of party, not enemy rear in front of party, so everyone move... A lot
- cant hold aggro, even just 3 enemy the tank cant even hold it, 10 seconds after pull everything just went hell
- out of mp out of tp, wait? Nope *run straight to mob/boss*
- *viewing cutscene*, tank chat "oooooh" "wow so its him!!!!" "Amazing!" "Ic so he want to do this that"... Seriously wtf why are you having "youtube react" moment?

By the time its done, i res him more than 7 times, i never res someone this many in a single dungeon run.

Yesterday in my first Stone Vigil, I was the horror story... we were halfway through with the dungeon when I realized I was in level 15 gear which I had on for looks but forgot to swap when I came in, then, on the last boss we wiped once, because I died to the mechanic where the boss nukes a part of the area, the second time we made it through but only because the summoner in the party raised me 4 times. To the same mechanic... ._.

But I did go back in afterwards with the same tank and redeemed myself by doing a perfect run.

Aurum Vale, always a great one - the tank had some sort of death wish and seemed to think I had unlimited reserves of mp but at least was level synced and overgeared. The real fun was the dragoon who, in typical dragoon fashion, liked standing in AOEs and the poison puddles. The best part though was their ilvl 23 top and ilvl 36 DOW pants. Every hit knocked off huge portions of their health if it didn't just one-shot them. My only dps contribution was the occasional swiftcast holy just to stop the damage briefly.

I don't appreciate tanks who think I'm bored or something when I swap to Cleric's Stance. I don't think this is a horror story, though.

Leveling roulette: Aurum Vale. One new player which was a drg. No big deal even if the first room is usually the nastiest part. Tank pulls the first three mobs, frog and two other, everything's okay, no one's in any danger and I swap to Cleric's to smack the last two mobs. They go down, and then the tank proceeds to pull the middle mobs without any care of what else they're going to aggro. Three mobs weren't enough, he wanted the next group too. Okay, I'm okay with that. Lots of healing to do, right? Well, 5 wasn't enough. He pulled more which resulted a wipe. We recover and I can barely cast protect on the tank when they dash off. This time I look at the tank, and he does exactly the same pull as last time. Only difference was that I didn't heal at all and simply let the tank and one dps die. What's the big deal with a pull like that?!? We proceeded to clear the room without a problem after that.

The room after second boss method: Pull everything. Fun, I get to be busy healing, right?

Morbol rooms: tank runs straight in and aggroes everything possible in the room, even in the second room he pulls both big morbols at the same time and we're swimming in tiny morbols as well. No wipe although it was a close call. After that I asked the tank does he really hate me using Cleric's Stance that much because he obviously tried to make it so that I couldn't use it at all. The only answer I got was a /comfort emote from the smn at that point.

So like, if I'm keeping my party alive just fine, why insist I never speed things up when I could by using my offensive toolkit? It's part of my class build. x_x/

Back in ARR I so concerned in having better gear that I was at almost lvl 50 on WHM, by the time I got to SV. I didn't know what to expect in the dungeon so I run in blind. I'm trying my best to keep up with healing the party; one of the dps is a bard and she made it her mission to chew me out once she died to Chudo. I didn't have swiftcast then since I was never advised to get it before then. Made by though as the other dps did console emote to me. But we wipe on next trash pull, chewed out once more by bard, I turn and leave the dungeon. Even if I no longer have problems with it, I still jokingly call SV my nightmare dungeon

Leveling Roulette. Vault.
Just about everyone except myself is new. I try to take a minute to explain mechanics before the tank pulls on boss #2 and #3. Long story short... on both bosses I end up being the last one standing due to ignoring mechanics standing in aoe and manage to turn the fight around by swift raising people.

I went to get a strong drink afterwards. I understand new people happen, I just wasnt ready for it.

This happened just a few weeks ago, but I was leveling my Astralogion through the palace of the dead and decided to do the leveling ruelette which I hadn't completed yet and totally ended up in the Great Gobul Library with daystar equipment. But, it ended up working out OK, and with the entire starting party making it all the way through to the end.
