I feel like an ALIENS reference would be lost on the young people here. I for one love you eternally for it.

I'm honored to receive your eternal love lol. we gone b frinds long time^^

I normally would explain things later when I cool down, but no, just...no. That run has earned a special dark place in my heart.

"I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them screwing each other over for a got damn percentage."

..That really nails the tethered add phase.

That brings to mind a completely different reference.

Game over man GAME OVER!

Started my day after reset by running MSQ. Got praetorium. I shifted my attention to some study materials on hand when we arrived at the first cutscene. When the movie about to end, I look back up to see my monitor screen turned purple/pink. What the hell... MY EYES. @@ I had to bail after the first boss because the colour was just too much it gave me headaches. Rest for a bit, then get on my PC again after reattaching the cables. The problem still there. But I insisted on doing the rest of my dailies so I logged back in to level DRG.

Shishui with PLD, sprout AST and sprout NIN.
Tank did the standard double pull. But it took forever to kill the trash because the only AoE NIN did are Doton and Hellfrog Medium. After that they just single target the enemies. The garish pink/purple screen on my end definitely made the experience worse. I took quite a few aoe because the telegraph almost blended with the floor colour. I am thankful to the AST for quickly topped my health. Received comms from both the tank and healer I guess from NOT single targeting during trash pull.

Then I went for a second run of Shishui. GNB, sprout WHM, sprout BLM.
Unlike the previous run, the tank only did single pull. Hmm, a tank with neo-ishgardian glamour/armor but still does single pull? Checked their info, just to see if it was their first tank job or something. Nope. All their tank classes at maxed including several other roles. WHM was Lv76 with appropriate gear so it wasn't the case undergeared healer. Speaking of the healer, they mostly stood there, waiting to cast Cure and sometimes throw stones and dot. Not a single Holy. I also had the feeling the BLM too, only used single target spells. Because again, the enemies took forever clear with a single one died faster than the rest. Since I am not familiar with BLM, I took note of the spells they cast so I could check after the dungeon was over.
Thunder, Blizzard, Fire.
...So yeah. Unless the Job Guide is wrong, the BLM only put dot then single target the entire time.

I do small pulls, trying to avoid the frogs on the way to the Locksmith.

Oh no. That's just going to make it worse. The way you handle that room is to pull everything hugging the wall on the way into the boss room and then drag the pack into the boss room and kill it there. When you try to play it safe with single pulls the only thing you're doing is giving the dumb DPS more opportunities to accidentally aggro more mobs.

Guilty! of being that DPS, Healer, and Tank >.<

Usually you can pull the frogs safely after you hit Arm's Length, or if you have a SCH that gives you a fresh shield. This normally nullifies the draw-in they have. Then again AV's always been the massive ARR death trap and will always keep that title.

[MidnightCerise]

Ah, I didn't know that. Thank you for telling me, I'll keep that in mind for future runs.
