I got Rescued the other day while fighting the second boss in Mt Gulg. Well, "rescued", because they pulled me from a safe spot into two overlapping AoEs and I ate the floor. Thanks, pal.

I got rescued tonight in a LotA run on King Behemoth. Healer announced at the beginning of the run one of us was going to die, so he rescued me into the meteor and wiped us both.

Don't know why but recently here in doing eden normal for the week as gunbreaker, i have had the other tank just randomly decide its their turn to tank the boss and slap on tank stance and voke it off me. Which i mean whatever. Just kind of odd. Both the times it happened the other tank expressed no interest in main tanking. E4 was maybe understandable because of the tankbuster stack, but It is more than easily solo tanked and the other tank only decided to take it around half health.

Had the same experience yesterday. I was starting as MT and while I'm perfectly fine tanking E4n solo (and did so in the past) my co-tank just wanted to take over midfight.

Rescue is such a weird cast, it's actually any "enemy" kind of cast as I learned the other when doing Trial roulette. We got Shinryu and I decided to ride out the initial knockoff with Surecast and can continue to do my BLM things. Only to see a text "Rescue Dodged!" on my screen and of course the big snake pushed me off ...

I've actually banned myself from having rescue on my hotbar because I would always hit it by accident and kill someone.

It's all the WoW refugees ruining our great community!

Those are having a nostalgia trip right now.

Has anyone noticed a large spike in people being really incredibly rude lately? It was so great the past 2 months since SHB, but the past week or two, every duty I go in, someone has got to scream about something. Most recent was alliance roulette, got Mhach. In Ozma A and B wiped and the C healers went to raise A&B healers. A bard started screaming their head off, curse words and all, that the C healers need to stack, but it was right at the time where it does the 1 stack per alliance and since A and B were dead, 3 members of C got the stacks, so even if they had stacked, it would have wiped us all anyway with 3 hits. After the wipe they proceeded to scream multiple paragraphs of blaming literally everything that went wrong on those two healers... of course over half the instance noped out. Maybe it's about time people who subbed for SHB take a break, yeesh.

Not really. People occasionally make snarky remarks in alliance chat when someone fks up, without naming anyone in particular, but personally I've never witnessed any mental breakdown level stuff with people yelling at each other etc. Maybe I'm just lucky ^^

Wait.... We can't blame WoW refugees? Hmm..

To be fair, I actually saw a huge mental breakdown in a party finder I was in this morning. It was actually hilarious, because they were like the worst player in the party calling everyone else out. Some juicy evidence left in the chat if anyone decided to report!

Reminds me of E1S on my brd. Had repelling shot mapped right next to sprint, and I always sprint to my spot on 1st delta. So the inevitable had to happen at some point, and I used repelling shot instead of sprint, catapulting myself right into the wall of death lol.

Not technically a duty
.... but I entered the recent Triad tourney and had quite a good run so far.

8games, 6W/1D/1L I might break my record of 2097 points

MSQ Roulette last night, no one tanked. It was very strange. Neither GNB had their tank stance on and everyone seemed to be just running around with their heads cut off.
