Maybe just a message "You gear is almost broken. Are you sure you want queue?" before registering for DF will make the trick.

Or maybe if it is below x% it doesn't let you queue at all.

I just gotta say that Superbolide is my new least favorite ability. Why do so many GNB feel the need to pop it when they are >85%? Just, why?

Yeah... seen that a lot, too.
The tank I recently had in Gubal was great, though. Gave me heads up that Superbolide will be used next big pull as neccessary and had a macro telling to let him drop because he will use it now. It hit at <10%, I bene'd him back up but otherwise didn't have to use a single heal during the big pull.
But when nearly at full health it's just an insane waste of time and resources...

Just got out of Mt. Gulg on my Gunbreaker. Was doing semi large pulls, and as big as they can get except for all the way to first boss, and all the way to last boss from second. We wiped on the pull midway to last boss, so I took the time to check the healers gear. Apparently, this healer had been managing to heal me in a mix of omicron, one or two Lakeland greens, seiryu's staff, and some orbonne gear.

Be me today.

That moment you run the 75. get toward second masspull before boss. have an acccidental shirk from your tank and have someone think you imply shirk griefing is ok. spark a rather hilarious minor mid boss conversation for a couple sentences. have tank comment after the boss about how the shirk was an accident anyway. (i knew that because of the macro.)

have your Co dps samurai (I'm on monk) mention they keep their shirk next to their Gnb's superbolinde and how they like to live dangerously. me remark how i walked out of several hits during the second boss (server ticks the boss fight!) from falling pillars mechanic.

Have no one die the entire run. have a smooth final boss.

Get one comm. not even sure who it was from.

(and no im not sad Shirk can't be used for griefing anymore near as easy as it used to be. besides if i owe my friends cleaves i got other ways XD)

Expert Roulette The Twinning early morning 40 minutes before reset things started out alright. Two of the party were wearing thier mentor crowns (I never wear mine) but they didnt say anything when it started so I figured all was gonna be well. Thats when I notice something thats finally registering in my head.(Coffee hadnt kicked in so it took awhile.) Noticed that tank was constantly getting topped off over other party that was taking more damage. I was like okay okay someone just wants to make sure the tank survives no worries its on the first boss when I notice that the raidwide damage was taking alot longer to get healed yet the tank was always topped off first then us other deeps. When we finally die I glance at the namelist fully both healer and tank have the same last name.... I immediately realise whats going on like a ray of light blinded me. Married healer /tank combo other DPS gets mouthy Husband wife duo rip into them the entire rest of the dungeoun snarky stuff like Why am I doing more DPS than you So now I'm like thinking... greaat husband wife healer/tank duo that are mentors and parsers I get through second boss being the only one who took zero damage. finally get to last boss I'm the last one standing. Other DPS was rattled could tell form how sharply thier performance declined healer isnt even bother to mask thier disdain for them and simply stop healing the guy to focus on thier hubby tank secon d go I'm finally tired of the snark and simply say can we just finish this please (we had seven minutes before reset at this time more than enough time to finish boss and get out before reset.. except.... you can guess what happened other DPS died because they werent healed and were left on the floor to rot from 75% health on. well boss is finally finished 1 minute past reset I get the orchestration and leave without comming anyone but got two coms. now I'm pissed because thats an extra bit of tomes I could have had today if people had just left thier attitudes at the door.

It's more of a "How much of a heart attack can I give my healer" than anything for some of us.

I may or may not be occassionaly guilty of popping it when I get to the end of a huge pull when the healer is one of my FC mates Heart Attack Guaranteed every time.

Can't wait to start lvling GNB and make my healers buttclench

I didn't think I'd ever post here but I got really irked today by this persons behavior towards a semi new healer.
Especially with all the changes that's been done to mana.

so without any heads up, the tank runs into The Aery an pulls all the mobs, then proceeds to die because the
healer isn't used to harder level dungeons plus large pulls. Without even a second of self thought the Tank immediately begins insults.



Then instead of pulling smaller groups, they continue to pull large groups. luckily we do okay but it irritates me more
that this person is a MENTOR, that instantly insults rather than try to give any form of assistance or guidance,
and even proceeds to give WRONG instructions on the second boss.



Then, to top it off, at the final boss the healer has to get us as well as Estinien. Which was going fine until the adds came in.
The tank barely got any of the adds to face away from Estinien, but continued to berate the healer. Spamming for them to
heal him over an over. We made it pass the adds but with Estinien so low, an having to heal everyone else, they had no mana left.
So Estinien died causing us to wipe. Which just caused further insults from the tank.



The healer left before trying Nidhogg again because of this MENTOR.

I just can't believe the behavior of some people.
