I'm the bad person here lol. I'm leveling my ACN baby so I can get the dang job stones. Was too lazy/inv too full to even bother with gearing up at level 20, so I decide to do some PoTD to get myself to 30. Completely forgot that more than half of the kit is missing for ACN, my physick heals were only at 300, I barely damaged anything. I felt so bad lol. I must've apologized about a hundred times, thankfully since it's potd (and floor 51) the run was smooth. Booted my butt back down to baby level though.

A WHM ran into my Ley Lines whenever I put it up lol.

Oh sweet child, you do not get the reduce cast time even if you stand in it.

When I do this I do it for various reasons. One of them is to just be silly. Other times to make you less lonely. Also depending on the BLM it's the only bloody way they're going to get healed cause them ley lines are out in Narnia compared to the rest of the group.

Been doing Dun Scaith even more than usual lately and not only do off-tanks have trouble when the main tank dies to an unhealed or unmitigated TB from Diabolos Hollow, I've witnessed tanks do fine with him and then inexplicably turn and run into the middle portal. (The first time I saw it, it might have been an accident but I saw a guy from a different run purposefully walk into it.)

For anyone who doesn't know: At one point in the fight, a portal opens up in the middle of the room with an add inside to be killed. Normally, an OT and a healer from that same Alliance would want to go in along with some DPS. If the MT goes in, they lose enmity on my server Diabolos and he starts murdering any non-tank he hits.

I've watched in horror as he started running around and then no other tank took him back until the original MT returned from his brief trip. Bwuh????

That sounds like the MT trying to do the correct thing and doing the tank door/meteor cause no one else is while forgetting or not knowing/caring that isn't such a good idea for the MT doing. The other part is the other tank's healers not paying attention that their tank is now the MT or felt like MTing for one whole fight. At least that's what happens whenever I try to MT or have to take over being MT and it's a boss that either hits hard or has a nasty debuff like Cloud of Darkness's bleed. I died once cause I had one dead healer and the other healer put faith in the other four healers putting any type of thought in healing me while they raised people. Then some idiot in Alliance chat felt the need to complain about the tanks.

Boop! We have reached peak FF14 as tanks are now single pulling the ads in Labyrinths of the Ancients. Do not know who or where or why but by the twelve please fricken stop doing this.

Friend may have gone toxic and tanked the rest as Sage. Yes, they had current job level 85 and Paladin at 90.

Had a WAR tank in Qitana that kept pulling mobs out of my Doton. When I wrote in party chat the dirt on the ground is mine and if he could please leave the mobs inside he unironically replied that it's generating too much aggro and that I keep stealing mobs with it.
Yes, mobs occasionally turned around.
But how about hitting those aoe combos instead of taking all the mobs for a walk? If mobs that sit right on your lap keep hitting one of the dps for several GCDs, you're doing something wrong. Seriously wrong. Especially when gear has nothing to do with it because they already wore EW stuff.

Played a Sage with my friend that was a Bard, we were in Tower of Babel and the WARRIOR tank kept spamming "Kardia!"

A Warrior tank was crying for Kardia and when I move the Kardia to a DPS that is low on HP, the Warrior cries: "KARDIA!"

Bitch, you're a Warrior you don't need Kardia!

Ran 7 Dun Scaiths since yesterday trying to catch up a bit on irregular tome farm... all runs were smooth as butter, it's almost too good. I even tried to bait people during Deathgaze's Blizzard IV into pushback mechanic with surecast available for giggles without too much success.

Now I'm worried that I might've used up all my luck elsewhere in the future...

Its ok. I'll take it for you. About to farm Eden Raids for glam on an alt. Ought to be fun.

So I learned something new today in Dun Scaith.

If someone has the stack marker and people group up but you're too far away, and somehow the person that has the stack marker dies, the next target is chosen from the available list, typically if you're too far from the rest of the group.

I learned this since I was no where near the person who had the Shriek stack marker, they died from an auto, and Diabolos decided to slap me for my incompetence and cowardice by making me the next target with his best Dio impression.
