Christ. My biggest issue with these is that they take too long to read. Use all the sparkle text you want in normal content, but in Savage, the less information your cohealer needs to read, the better. My macro is just {Raise} <t>. It's multilingual, it gets the point across, and it's short. Don't even get me started on the ones who have a sound effect in their rez macro.

Yeah it kept getting spammed constantly which I found very distracting, I like the chat to be clean unless it's a callout as a reminder ( which pinax is safe on orbs for example ).
My eyes just registers the blue text and goes down to read, I turn off all other chats and have it on party only for that reason.

At least I got some more P2 practice in with the most recent group again.
I feel like Act 2 is the hardest at least based on the guide the others seem simpler to me, and I think I got a hang of Act 2 in this group.
The problem is just actually getting to P2 lol, almost every group ends up with tethers being a mess on towers or pinax wipes.
P4S isn't nearly as intimidating as I thought tho.

The Healer in question didn't have a sound effect but they had bongo drums on the countdown and they all wore the same pink sweater with the pyjamas pants and hat.
And they were also messing around in chat a lot it was very strange especially in the last floor of the Savage tier.
It became kinda overbearing when half the group was like that and you were actually trying to get to P2 and prog.

I was the derpy one today. Did a random dungeon as a tank for the first time. Since I'm new at tanking I wanted to be properly prepared. I bought some new gear, found some fitting food so I bought and ate some Flatbread... and to be sure I was prepared, I activated Iron Will before the dungeon started...

Cue facepalm when I learned the hard way how Iron Will works in dungeons.

lol we've all been there. when I first came back to the game, I qued into a dungeon as PLD and kept turning iron will on and off, completely forgetting it was a toggle skill. I swear the people that ran with me must've thought I had like 10 iq doing that lmfao. lucky that they were understanding since I was a sprout and was just confused on figuring out how to play

I had the smoothest of Qitana runs and used up all my luck with DF for the next months or so.
The GNB used all their mitigation, including invuln with a nice sound macro warning a few seconds before. They constantly adjusted their position to keep all mobs nicely stacked. Beautiful megapulls.
The MNK used Mantra during wall to walls, Feint on tankbusters, Bloodbath and Second Wind whenever they were the only one taking damage.
The MCH stayed in range, patiently stayed inside my Asylum instead of running a marathon around the whole platform non-stop, used Tactician during wall to walls, only ran as far as necessary to turn the tether purple so MNK could keep uptime.
Everyone used Sprint. Pulls got deleted. Everyone brought their mobs to the tank if they had aggro while pulling.
Purrfection.

I'm not sure if I should feel awkward or dirty at the tank's starting comment.

I am getting so close, got act 1-4 down pretty perfectly now in P4S, but on Act 4 they kept exploding and we ran out of time.
I have no clue why we used the Ilya strat and it seem'd fine but apparently not someone must've kept running wrong.
Don't think I'll get it tomorrow before reset dunno if I want to keep pushing so hard, you can push a whole day and get nothing but pinax meme groups and then you just get a little bit of P2 practice late at night.

I am a little surprised it's not harder tho I barely have any practice in P2 and can get past 1-4 quite comfortably myself dunno about the rest tho.
But damn the pinax memes are real lol.
It's also a very hard fight on Healers it seems, because a lot of the deaths are just due to not enough healing and mitigation especially at the end of P1.
It's kinda funny tho how Healers complain about being a spam 1 Job in easier content then you see these fights and suddenly Healers are fighting for their lives lol.

Bad enough is our self-assigned EX1 Safety Triangle (... which shouldn't be necessary by now) dying to every mechanic. Worse is their macros.

Warning for ppl on doing raids.
The big communication problems you will have on PF are hardly about what you are talking about, but HOW you choose to talk about it.

Start prog on P3S, basicly got to FoF couple times and kinda stuck there.
Then get in a group, and we start it, Im main tanking, I keep the boss on middle, tank buster come, 3 dps are huggin the boss butt like really inside his box right in middle, making hard to get the teather, it end up killing two dps.

For me, all good, mistakes happen
Second pull, I pull like always, keep boss middle, now they step back out of his butt so we do tank buster without problem, but then we die at darkfire cause one of numbers get in wrong position.

Its PF, mistakes are common

Then one of the DPS, suddenly say "if you dont tank this like you should its my last pull!"

I was confuse, like, someone miss number on darkfire, what i did wrong as tank? there is no "tank thing" on darkfire phase

Then I reply "what you talking about tank, friend? it was wrong number" and he reply "except the part u kill us with teather??"

I was confuse, cause it happened on first pull, not on second, and I kinda get pissed because for me was not my fault their deaths on first pull, they was literraly inside middle of boss target box, and I say "well, dont kiss his butt, stay in his back, its not hard"

Then my "answer" comes from a second player, and I understand what was wrong, "pull the boss north, neither is hard pushing w" and I understand what they mean, that I should be tanking him on north at beginin, talk with a tank friend after this and he explains about meele uptime and TOTALLY makes sense

Since any other group I was conplained about it, and was getting no problem to adds and couple times to FoF, I never notice this "tank mistake" I being doing there!!

But the way this ppl just approach pushing on me, without talk, just ruin it, I just drop.

This would be TOTALLY different, if his approach was different,
no even need to be all soft and cool, just straigh on info, no "passive-aggressive" shit

if his first phrase was more like "hold him on north at beggning so we have uptime"
I would totally say "shit, that make sense, ok" and we would be proggin FoF/FoA now without any unecessary stress

I'm tired of Leeches in MSQ roulette and the people that don't vote kick them.

The instances are long enough when everyone is contributing, why carry the dead weight?

[RobynDaBank]

Eek, sorry to the Seat of Sacrifice group I had earlier this morning. I went in for Trials roulette as BRD expecting at most a Stormblood Trial, but uh... yeah. Still not used to this Job too much so I was staring at my bars more than watching telegraphs and tells for mechanics.
