So I'm minding my own business, bored out of my mind. I decide to queue up for the Endwalker trials and get the second one just for fun.

I can't decide if this trial or the first one is going to be the new Titania, but it was a fun 45 minutes watching the carnage.

Queued into the lv83 dungeon as DNC, run goes mostly smooth, new to dungeon AST died near the last bit of the first boss and we later almost wjpe to the last double pull of the dungeon. When we got to the final boss and he does that expanding pillar of light, down goes the AST and the boss is at something like 80%.

Now I figure the BRD stayed in the light cause they saw the healer go down and I have that same thought but the GNB is going at the boss and just know he's going to try and solo it so I could either help or go die and watch. Made him my dance partner and while I had to use the new healing version of Improv twice, we killed it. Not sure how the BRD felt but at the end the AST told us that was impressive so thinking they enjoyed the show.

I know others will disagree, but I don't care that dungeon is easy content, a tank and DPS (even supporty one like DNC) shouldn't be able to take down an entire boss without a healer.

Got The Grand Cosmos for 50/60/70/80 Roulette today. Comp was War, SCH, and 2 RPR. SCH says it's their first time in the dungeon. NBD.

The run went very smooth until the last boss. The tank explains to stay away from furniture with the red marker, and run to the furniture for the blue mark.

Well.

When the first blue mark showed up, the SCH was running around panicked. I ran to the piano bench and told them to "come here". They didn't make it on time and just dropped. The boss was at around 85% by this point.

Didn't seem to matter, however, because even without a healer, the rest of us 3 survived and burned the boss without any issue.

Reminds me of the time I beat the first boss of Amaurot without a tank with my spouse as the healer.

got the last MSQ dungeon in expert roulette and I instantly knew from the names of the players alone that it'd take a long, long time, 45 minutes in fact
during the first pull, the healer decided to just run to the fricking seashell to read it and let the tank die, which made the tank apologize because they're most likely whipped by snippy healers
so we try again, this time, no issues, second pull time and.... the healer does it AGAIN but comes back in time to benediction the tank
the healer died almost immediately to the first boss which forced us to wipe, then did it again on the second try, though we managed to live through the rest of the fight on our own, all because they didn't esuna themselves
next pull, the healer does the same 'let's read mid pull' thing again which, of course, gets everyone killed
the tank was probably seething hard at this point and resigned themselves to wait for the healer and their dps buddy to read those things first
so; everyone read those little story bits, that means we can pull, right? hah! despite the tank going through all cooldowns, he still died to the double pull before the 2nd boss because the healer somehow didn't manage to keep them alive! did I already mention that said whm had obnoxious macros? because they did
single pull time it is, then, but, you guessed it, the healer literally walks away mid pull to read instead of healing, again
the last boss was fine until the tank and dps had doom stacks and the healer didn't heal them, nor did they heal me when I was at around 25% and right next to them jumping up and down before the next raidwide, which meant I promptly ate dirt
at least the second attempt at the last boss went fine
oh and also the ring I needed dropped after like 10 dungeons without it dropping, but of course I lost it to the other dps lmao

I would've voted to kick them if it wasn't for the fact that I already waited around 25 minutes for the dungeon to pop in the first place
ra-la, I beseech thee, free me from this DF hell

I honestly wonder why people don't use trusts their first time through if they want to take in the sights. I do, because i want to looked around and read things. I'm not gonna awkwardly waste people's time or get them killed because i wanna read.

Oh my God. Got out of the level 85 dungeon, a fair bit annoyed, and confused. Leveling my DRK. Starting off with the first trash pull, I almost died, and this is when I first started noticing this healer. Still, they were able to keep me up for that pull, and the next one (every trash pull was pretty much a near death experience). We get to the first boss, and they rescue me out of a mechanic I was already out of, and that definitely annoyed me. Then they start badgering me in chat, because I had to stop a couple times. Second boss, they and one of the DPS steal my water bubble, so I just eat the mechanic. I have no idea why the healer needs to take my bubble, but I digress. Last boss, they and a dps die to mechanics, so we wipe. I pull the boss again, and they don't even enter the fight, they have to be teleported in. A DPS dies to a mechanic and the healer just doesn't res them for the next half of the fight. I'm talking this dude was just dead on the floor, the whole time, no revive. Thank God we cleared it eventually without him. I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

Doing the level 90 story dungeon last night for the first time was slightly annoying on the second boss. I was on DNC, and every time that everyone got an AoE marker, doesn't matter if the healer or other DPS were near me, they would always keep following after me even when I used En Avant to get out ahead of them and not get hit by an additional AoE....which never worked. Thankfully nobody died to those, and I didn't die until the very last boss because I miss judged my timing and got doom(not sure if it's one of those heal to 100% to cleanse it or if you just can't cleanse it) and died. There was probably 25% left on the boss, but the healer didn't even bother to res me...though they ressed the other DPS(reaper) that died 2-3 times each boss fight.

Right after that, doing the third trial was interesting with the number of deaths for the healers(thankfully never at the same time and we didn't wipe) and the rest of the DPS. I didn't end up dying at all, and only got hit 2 times by avoidable things. Ended up with 3 comms at the end of it

Yeah, that healer needed to heal you to prevent the doom death, but on top of not doing that, they don't revive you.. What is with healers today?

You know what's starting to annoy me the most? Healer's who ress you and don't fully heal you when you're up... only for you to get smacked down by the next raid-wide AOE. This is becoming such a regular occurrence.

I just wanna say, leveling SGE after coming from AST and WHM is hard for me. Barrier healing, I guess. I've lost two tanks and caused two wipes in a couple ShB dungeons. I still only have SGE at level 74 so I'm still learning. Fortunately, the tanks were really cool about it. But I enjoy healing very much on AST (pre-EW, not sure how it is now.) But SGE is taking some getting used to. Lots of button mashing.

So, sorry for the wipes I caused.

Had that happen a few times since early access...definitely annoying. Especially when the raid wide hits you for 3/4 you HP, and your self heals(Curing Waltz and Second Wind) get you to just over 1/2.
