Shirk the samurai.

(Don't Shirk the samurai. Just ignore him.)

Instructions unclear, shirked the Samurai

[RenAshdoll]

Dashed my own plans to be a casual after being brought into E2S to help learn/clear the fight; I ended up pf-ing to clear it over 4 days after much frustration... This E2S fight is way overtuned; most aim to clear parties can barely reach 20% on Voidwalker before the first Quietus and/or even if they survived till then, chaos and retribution absolutely wrecked everyone else. This 2nd floor is definitely going to block a lot of puggers from clearing the raids -_-

I swear the cards hate me. You have a DNC and a MCH, have Blue cards! You have a NIN and a SAM, PINK CARDS! That NIN/SAM run would not give me any blue cards. So I just like whatever, picked them for the lucky charms and gave it to the NIN. I got it to 80 and won't have to touch it for another two years. And everyone leveling tank can rest easy that I won't be on AST anymore.

Someone in Bardam's Mettle, during the second boss, ran their AoE over me because they wanted to see me chained up. That was weird.

More recently, I had a tank take almost 60,000 damage in the span of a single GCD and instantly die because they stood in an avoidable AoE, got a nasty DoT, and then got hit by several other things at once. The general consensus was that it wasn't my fault, but I didn't notice the DoT (because hardly anyone gets hit by it, so it didn't really register), and had I paid more attention, I probably could've saved the tank.

My last story consists of three words: Comcast outage map (mostly me. Help.)

[PeppermintBrown]

Sounds like a shit samurai. Samurai should be using true north skill to keep his renki up properly upon skills used anyways.

Yeah. Granted I don't play SAM, but it's better for the tank to obey mechanics than the SAM to have slightly better uptime, and they have true north.

Granted, a tank should move as little as possible, but there are times you have to move and melee just gotta deal with that.

So, I have been seeing things I haven't seen in years or just out of the blue.

I am not talking about parties. Lately they have been expected to above average.

I am talking about actual DR itself.

DR 50/60/70: I have gotten Stone Vigil (Hard) three times, Thok-Ast-Thok (Hard) once, Aetherochemical Research Facility once, and The Lost City of Amdapor (Hard) once.
Trial Roulette: Battle on the Big Bridge (first one)

I haven't gotten these dungeons in DR in almost two years. Thok-Ast-Thok (Hard) I have never gotten through DR, just me signing up to complete it. I didn't know you could even get Battle on the Big Bridge through Trial Roulette.

Well, thanks for all the newbies giving me those dungeons to do again. Nothing like wiping on the first boss to Thok-Ast-Thok (Hard) because us non-new timers remember anything about this dungeon.

Things are all right with the world though. Yesterday I got Titan (Hard) and Keeper of the Lake... so I am back into what I consider the "normal roulette."

[Mikhaill]

Well I just did a run with the "Sloppy" dude.
DNC had tunnel vision the entire time.
LolDRG had even more tunnel vision the entire time by standing in aoes relying on EJ to do anything and still get hit lmao.
Tank was solid.

Very end, got chained, they didn't turn around and bother to help me and I died.
No apologies, no nothing not even a comm for my death lol. At least the tank tried to save me but it was too late.
I mean, if I mess up and kill someone on accident like that, I apologise at least...Rude.

If you're a DNC and you have tunnel vision, shame on you...
I guess the DRG gets a free pass since a lot of them do this.
Not a big complaint but please pay attention to mechanics ffs...at level 60 no less.
Thank you for trying, my small Lala friend.

Decided to level my PLD a bit. Queue for Leveling Roulette. Get dropped into Sohm Al.
Ok, shouldn't be too hard right? Off i go for a big pull.
Had to use all my CDs including Hallowed Ground just to barely survive, so i decided to check the healer...



Maybe I should just stay away from leveling roulette for a while...

[SturmChurro]

I just love doing Qitana Ravel with a tank who does single pulls, an afk dps (during boss pull not trash pulls), a healer who doesn't do damage BUT if the tank loses 3% health DROP EVERYTHING THEY HAVE ON THEM. I'm over here about to die of old age..

When I say single pulls, I'm talking one enemy at a time single pulls.

Maybe you got the same healer from the party I left a little bit earlier today shortly after the first pull in Baelsar's Wall, which was just to the bridge and not even a full one. I didn't examine their gear, but they were wearing something that could have been the same left side in your screenshot. Makes a lot of sense if it was the same one. It wasn't just the healer, though, since whole experience was a circus. The player with tether was running in a big circle around the pack asking for help in party chat too. I just ate the 30 min penalty and made lunch instead.

Edit: Just noticed you're on an EU server, not a NA one so it can't be the same healer. That makes me sad that there's at least 2 of them like that running around out there though.
