Oh, O12 NM

I love dying to unavoidable room wide AoEs as a DPS.

I love getting rezzed, standing still waiting for a top off and then dying to the next unavoidable room wide AoE after my invuln runs out.

I love how pugs never separate the pink marker from the stack marker (imma durrr drop em just one yalm away from each other durrr deeerp).

I love pugs overlapping both pink and stack markers and wiping the raid.

You forgot something about F-omega being at 20% life left while M-omega is still at 75%, because half the team don't see they are aiming at the wrong target and doing no damage at all. Having to stop attacking because the two healers obviously aren't gonna keep you alive during the laser beam soft enrage if you finish F-omega right now, then worrying of how your dps will look like crap if the raid end up being successful, and finally hoping for a wipe to not look like an incompetent player in front of the whole world to see if someone else is stupid enough to upload that pathetic attempt of a run on fflogs.

Hah, wow. I mainaged to solo the last 5% of Omega F once as paladin but I couldn't have kept it going for that long I'm sure.

Literally no one cares about normal mode logs.

No such thing ... the remaining one does a 15k aoe all. 7 secs. Thats far easier then dealing with dual 70k busters double meteor and cosmo memory. A pld can solo heal himself through lasers.

To hold dmg is never a good idea kill them asap and do not be afraid of a 50 to 0% difference. Any healer worth its salt can solo heal the lasers.

Just to emphasize this. I had a run the other day where the whole party died except myself (DRK) and the SCH at the very end. Omega-F proceeded to spam Laser Shower. So I repeated put TBN on the SCH, turned on Grit and kept myself alive mostly through DA + Souleater and CDs while they rotated healers on me and themselves. We held out for two full LB bars to generate, which gave us healer LB3.

So am calling foul on the idea of withholding damage. That simply isn't the case. Granted, the person you quoted seems to have a vendetta with FFlogs lately.
--------------------

Speaking of logs. On an entirely different run of Suzaku EX, I elected to go Scholar. Now I'll be the first to acknowledge my own inexperience on the job. I know it well enough to perform adequately, but am certainly pulling out any heroics. Anywho! We get through the transition relatively unscathed, but ultimately wipe due to people getting hit by colors, including my co-healer. Afterwards, she accuses me of not using Succor. Which came off... odd. At first I thought maybe my timing was a bit off since I typically play regens for Suzaku. I tried to set them up for the stack while shielding the tank. If you've followed my previous post, I wanted to assure the tanks actually got an Adlo instead of demanding they use Anticipation~.

Things go better the second run until they end, though we do manage to limp through. Well, I hadn't noticed the WHM whining about Succor and Indom, claiming I just wasn't helping her. Now I know I had things covered this time, you know seeing no one died and shields were out. Either way, she kicks me, which was a blessing because oh boy does she get hit by colors a lot.

Fortunately, I happened to have a magic abacus and looked at my casts, just to be certain what I might have done wrong. Turns out that first pull, where she accused me of not using Succor? I had twelve casts. The second? Fourteen. So that was quite interesting to find. Furthermore, where she whined about me not using Succor + Indom, I did have a Succor up and put down Scared Soil. The stack was sufficiently covered. Indom would also be wasted there since only two people were low going in, neither to the point of dying and without any outgoing damage thereafter, HoTs can easily tick people up. My plan was to wait on Eos. More importantly, I was shielding the tank alongside putting down Soil and Succor. Doing some digging, I found out she's only ever run with SCHs or ASTs who have double her healing output (we're talking orange HPS to grey). Now I certainly won't sit here and say I did a stellar job. I probably didn't. But something tells me she was looking to pass the blame...
