Delubrum.....
Half of the peeps dont use any Essence or Potions...
Damage is not there it took us almost 15 minutes to kill the first boss...
Nobody wants to tank so the dps are tanking...
After calling out the tanks and saying "use stuff or this will take a eternity"
People leave ....
Just why ? Why borther going Delubrum if you are not using anything and dont do shit ? I dont get it ....

Then don't play dancer.

I kinda don't now.

And it's only technical step i forget, because it's not keybound. I ran out of binds.

I switched to a controller but haven't played dancer on it yet.

LotA in 24 man roulette today. Chill, easy, I'm not at 60 for the Mhach stuff on BRD anyways.

YEAH UH. I THOUGHT.

I thought the Syrcus Tower run I had where we nearly wiped to Scylla's enrage yesterday was bad but uh. Yeah no I'll take bad players who at least listen to me when I type out the mechanics.

No. Today was worse and it's NOT because player skill was bad. We have a mess-up on Vassago because somehow our tank can't take aggro off me until Vassago's at like 25% HP which. Concerning. I'm a BRD, I should be VERY easy to rip hate from considering our tank had their stance on. But whatever. Arms Length, Second Wind, and aware healers made it not the worst thing I've had to do in there. At least they did eventually wind up taking it back. (Also sidenote how the HECK did none of the other DPS or healers rip aggro off of me now that I think about it that's very concerning.)

Yeah no, I realized why when we got to discount Plagueython. (Please do not ask me to spell that I don't want to.) Ancient Flare memes. Our DNC gets hit by the first one, after being rescued to the pad and running back out. Welp, maybe it's just a dumb sprout. I wasn't paying too much attention at this point because crap happens. Second one goes out, I run to pad and wait for the shield to go up. And wait. And wait. It never does, and we wipe. Well, not the first time I've seen it happen, won't be the last. I can see our DNC refusing to run to the pad and they say something in party chat after we're all lying on the floor. So, I'm moderately miffed at them for typing instead of gtfo'ing, but again, if this had been all they'd done I could forgive it.

We get to Plagueboi again and this time I break out my danger bongo macro specifically to indirectly kick their butt into gear so they're not caught with their pants down. A few other people do too, and I get that it's annoying, but we've wiped once. People lose the right to complain about the sound effect being annoying if they can't be bothered to move in time. Well, come down to the second Ancient Flare in this pull and our DNC has the audacity.

The. Freaking. Audacity.

To type "Blow your r*pe whistle." in chat

First off - from the bottom of my heart, screw them for even making that joke. That is not a topic you joke about with people you don't know. Ever. That's not the mark of a decent person. There is a difference between being edgy and just plain being a jerk, and that was so far across the line that I just don't.

Second - screw you again you are literally the reason I broke the macro out in the first place because you couldn't be bothered to stop typing for five seconds to en avant to safety.

Hope they enjoy the fat report I sent their way.

Today's roulette hasn't been quite pleasant, so here's stories to add for readers' enjoyment & to bump up the thread after having forum first page half-flooded by trolls.

1. Leveling Roulette: Copperbell Mine
   Why, for the love of God---I kept getting this one. Yesterday I bailed once only to requeue 30m later getting the same run. Today I also get this one, but refrained from bailing because it's 3 sprouts. Whatever... let's do it Q_Q
2. Level 80 Dungeon: Grand Cosmos
   Nothing much, besides matched with 2 stellar DPSes but single-pack puller tank.
3. Expert Roulette: Paglth'an
   Time to switch up a bit, rolled as a tank (WAR) now. Normally I wouldn't be comming a Medica II trigger happy WHMs, but this, I really had to. The two DPSes seems to have some sort of fatal attraction toward red carpet and continuously standing on one. Not to mention they are: (1) 1-2-3 NIN with only mudra they used being Futon & Doton and; (2)Songless BRD that also doesn't bother to keep their DoTs up. Lunar Bahamuth proves to be too difficult for them as they kiss the dirt several times. How many times they had casted Gigaflare? Right... three times. Yeah, time to refill my drink....
4. Normal Raid: Eden Verse - Furor
   Rolled as GNB for the tank's AiN. Party was filled with 5 first timers. As usual, the mechanics caught them off guard. Comm'ed that WHM for carrying those 5 fellas. The funniest feeling is telling them to have at least 2 person in that double stack mech, but both of the affected first timer stacked together instead and die in each other's sweet embrace

It's quite a confidence booster when I'm playing DR as DNC, with other players using essences, and (somehow) the main (only tank with stance on) tank dies, I am frequently the new main tank - until I am killed. Only using an essence, and barely using lost actions other than a banner. Frankly, I was baffled at how I was top aggro in the first place. It's also lovely, while main tank DNC, when I am not cleansed of doom.

And it's only technical step i forget, because it's not keybound. I ran out of binds.

What the... How is this.. I can't even.. ON DANCER?!

[But seriously, if you really having trouble binding all of them at least use TS over something like Curing Waltz or Improvisation which you won't need/use anyway. TS is one of your most important attacks]

[Sotaris]

How do you run out of binds with dancer? The rotation isn't that huge.

[MilkieTea]

I kinda don't now.

And it's only technical step i forget, because it's not keybound. I ran out of binds.

I switched to a controller but haven't played dancer on it yet.

Quick keybind hint: 1-6, Shift+1-6, CTRL+1-6, Alt+1-6

Any oGCDs with long cool downs, also things like sprint, peloton, and second wind should be on a hud without keybinds so you click them, as you wont need insta-access to them.

[Curisu]

Q, E, R, T, F, G are my most used key's.
They don't have important default binds so I just use them for skills.

These combined I use for my jobs, never had the need to expand more. Most is mapped to my MMO mouse as well so get pretty easy to use.

You could expand using A and D as well since imo it more effective just use W and maybe S for movement, and just use the mouse to controll the camera.
