    I feel compelled to point out that despite its Lv1 requirement the Brand New Ring is actually a valid piece of equipment up to about Lv38 thanks to giving +3 of all primary stats. For tanks there's a case to be made for a Sphene Ring at Lv29 because it gives tenacity, although I'm not sure how much 3 tenacity really matters. At Lv39 they can equip a Heliodor Ring which gives more vitality than the Brand New Ring. It's not uncommon to be a bit lazy about upgrading gear when leveling additional classes, though I think they should have upgraded the weathered stuff by now.

    I checked a few random videos of Stone Vigil from youtube and the healers in them have well in excess of 1600 max health. Compared to that the WHM seems a little low. Then again a Lv43 NIN in one video has over 2000. I don't know how much gear actually affects health at this point.

    More telling is that the healers in the videos heal for around 500 with their basic heal and 800 with the improved heal. On one video an AST healed for over 1000 with a single Benefic II. So if this WHM only healed for 259 with a Cure II, something is definitely wrong with their gear. No amount of out-of-date, broken or even missing gear on the tank will lower their received heals by 70%.

    That sounds about right. And my guess would be it was a broken weapon on the healer, seeing as their HP wasn't suffering too much but their healing output was lowered significantly. Additionally, a tank going down quickly in Stone Vigil even with decent gear doesn't seem too out of the ordinary in my experience. Stuff hits hard in there and you really need the heals. Though proper use of cooldowns can make a difference.

    So I did O12 with my WAR and nothing important happened during the fight. But then when we opened the chests, the other WAR and a DPS dc'd.

    Alright it's fine, I have all the time in the world. And nobody's complaining so we wait.

    After like 1 minute they came back, rolled and...won everything. I felt like some major force, presumably the RNG God, deciced to screw with me today. I even rolled a 90 on that shaft....

    Expert roulette - The Burn:

    I went as WHM, got grouped with a PLD, DRG and RDM. The first pull, I'm doing my usual thing, aero 3, Assize, Holy spam, regen and oGCD heals. The DRG is (of course) single targeting, the RDM is only occasionally using Scatter, and the PLD is only using the Riot Blade combo (just the 1-2, not 1-2-3) Flash, and Clemency. I can't parse, being on PS4, but I have absolutely no doubt I was the top dps on that (and all subsequent) pull. After the pull the PLD pipes up with this gem:

    "You can dps if you want to WHM, I have self heals"

    ..... /facepalm

    I replied "Couldn't you tell that I was dpsing there?"

    The RDM then said "I can tell because of your low mana after the pull"

    Did one of them think they were the reason most of the mobs were dying together? Did the DPS not notice that after switching targets the one they switched to wasn't at full health anymore? Just the lack of awareness on that first pull really made me salty for the rest of the run.

    Yeah that sure is a lack of awareness. And possibly of battle effects.
    I always have battle effects turned on for party members, so I stay on track with what they're doing. It's... it's pretty easy to tell when a White Mage is AoEing.

    Also the Riot Blades hurt my soul.

    Wow.

    The only time I ever do fast/riot blade spamming is in circumstances where the rest of the party dies and I end up having to solo the last part of a boss and I need quick mp to get more clemencies off to keep myself alive. That story almost hurts me as much as a FC mate of mine who once had a paladin tank that insisted 'shield oath is passive.'

The spot where you click in the water after the biast boss is a bit more obvious since its ground level (and it was a while before I figured out what shortcuts were lol).

    Also when I first started playing this, I didn\\'t pay attention to the chatlog in duty at all. It took a while before I was comfortable paying attention to things that weren\\'t the battle in front of me. So it was either someone very new (because lets face it, the first few dungeons are tank-optional really so the fact that they got thru them at that level of play isn\\'t a stretch) or it really was a bot which at this point is just as likely. I don\\'t blame your boot though. At the very least, if they were just a babe in the woods, it\\'ll teach them to pay attention. Unfortunate how the lowest level stuff is often the most challenging. :\

    Yeah, I actually looked at them to see if they were pc or ps4 because I thought they might be a bot, but because I play on ps4 I can see other peoples PSN name if they are ps4, and they had a PS4 name, so it couldn't have been a bot ^^

    Earlier yesterday I did leveling roulette on a tank for their daily, and I get thrown into Ifrit normal.

    I see everyone's new and does not have job stones, or anything else really unlocked or leveled up except for their classes. Party comp was PLD (me), CNJ, ACN, and LNC. The ACN did not summon their pet, which I thought was odd.

    Everything goes normally until the nail pops. I say in party chat for everyone to target the nail.

    No one goes after the nail until I Shield Lob it. Finally the cnj and acn start attacking it, save for the lancer. The lancer just continues to wail on Ifrit, and eventually Ifrit gets tired of our shenanigans and hits the delete button on our group.

    Round 2, cnj suggests that the lnc pays attention to chat calls, and the acn finally summons up their pet...topaz carbuncle. So close. We rebuff and go back in again...and the nail pops. The acn and cnj start attacking the nail, while the lancer does the same exact thing as before by trying to probe Ifrit repeatedly. Ifrit gets tired of the prostate exam once again and instantly deletes our group.

    Round 3. The cnj and acn finally get tired of the lancer's bull and call him out on it. The cnj then suggests that, since our lancer friend isn't responding to party chat (apparently they were on the ps4 as the cnj was on ps4 and could see his psn name, while I can't since I'm on pc), that I kite Ifrit when the nail pops.

    The nail pops and I start to kite hellboy, and the lancer naturally tries to chase the boss. The cnj finally did a sound callout in chat, and that FINALLY got the lancers attention to attack the nail.

    'Oh my god, there's hope for LNC lol' I say in party chat. The other two 'lol'ed. We finally down Ifrit and the lancer finally talks in chat about 'sorry I didn't know'. Buddy, you'd think after the first one and if you looked at the chatbox AND the big 1 marker we put on the nail, you'd think that'd be something you SHOULD take care of, especially after the first wipe.

    Basic Party 101 stuff still just does not get through to some people, and that frightens me if that lancer continues on like that.

    Had the biggest derp today. Down to exactly 10% on Byakko EX farm, someone says "lb" in party chat and something about the combination triggered auto-pilot mode and I popped the melee lb3.

    To be fair the party were nice about it and I can laugh it off afterwards. I did the fair thing and dropped to run a Practise group though, think I needed it :P
