Your funny, embarassing, mistakes and weaknesses as a new player

[SeriousxSarcasm]

Didn't use my AOEs in dungeons as THM for longest time because one time I used Fire II in solo content and I got murdered by mobs in 0.5 seconds. XD My brain just decided "Ok, that was useless" and just started ignoring the spell. Nice tank had to point out that I'd be safe using it since she was there to keep them from eating me lmao.

I would Bane before Bio stuck... a lot.

i still do this in savage tbh.

for thread:
I refused to get NIN cos i liked the flavour of ROG too much

I first started off as DRG... I'd save life surge, blood for blood, etc whatever buffs you can think of for the LB :<

[Tsumdere]

I used to think Bio II would overwrite Bio and Shadowflare only did damage if the enemy was outside of it and walked into it (rather than a DOT). So for the longest time I would never use Bio or Shadowflare. :P

Lots of new and returning players coming in for Shadowbringers... share your gaffes

And experienced players, remind us how you weren't a pro from your first day in the game

My fave is still sometimes spamming heals on a dying tank only to realize I forgot to make sure the tank was my target...

Back when Raging Strikes was a thing for all jobs, I didn't know I could use it beforehand of using SMN dots to increase the crit rate for dots. I thought it only applied to regular skills.

Back when flash was also a thing for all tank jobs, I didn't know I could use it to make dgn mass pulling with WAR a whole lot easier.

Didn't know about temp invincibility after you get raised. So I would wait-typically in raids-until it was absolutely safe to accept the raise...only to promptly die to a raid wide aoe because I would immdiately perform an action.

[Misutoraru]

Enter alphascape 1.0 as RDM and forget to check where I was standing before I use Displacement. Only to do it again after getting raise because I want to make up the lose DPS

[DarkMasamune]

Had a level 1 ring for ages. Like, up to level 50. Until someone in my FC told me about it lmao, it was awkward.

Phew that was like 4-5 years ago

Back in 2015 I was doing MSQ as an archer and got to a point where I had to talk to the head of the Archer's guild, which requires you to talk to an npc that will then allow you to go in. I wasn't paying attention at the time and the door didn't have a clickable thing on it so I just assumed my computer was messing up and ignored it. Then I got frustrated not knowing what I was doing wrong so I just focused on leveling my archer.

I ended up leveling my ARCHER(not a bard as I didn't know how to unlock it) all the way to 50 wandering between North Shroud, Coerthas, and Northern Thanalan, purchasing GC gear using my seals I would earn from fates. I ended up unlocking the lvl 50 dungeons before even going to La Noscea/Thanalan properly by the lvl 15 MSQ.
