Joined World of Darkness, Person #1 makes a sexual innuendo joke at the very start and person #2 just says "die". Nothing else was exchanged. It was a smooth run. With no deaths we approach and kill Cerberus, but after the Cloud of Darkness cutscene someone vote dismiss person #2 and succeeds. Petty mf waits until the last boss to votekick someone lol.

I got the feeling it's DRK who were undergeared. Happens too many times.

Yeah, this is what I meant - sorry about that. The DRK was wearing tissue paper. The SGE was playing as well as you can in that dungeon, but you know how it is. Can't heal stupid.

Some stories from both main and my catboy alt.

• Dohn Mheg
On main, as a GNB. Everything was stellar smooth until first pull after first boss where RDM suddenly stops attacking altogether. When the pack almost dead, they said ”I’m sorry I stopped attacking but I was looking at the fending gears. Damn, the stat difference is wild huh?”

Weird, but I don’t quite get it anyways. Fast forward to big pull after 2nd boss I ran out of cooldowns & was hoping the RDM would LB the pack. They did not, so I just use the LB as my own cooldown.

”clever” said the RDM.

• LotA
On main, as a WHM with my friend. C’s tank was doing the old zombie dragon strat by pulling them to the back of the arena. It was a nostalgic sight… until our tank mentioned that they think it’s a waste of time because when the boss die they have to walk back to middle for the loot and teleport. Lolwat.

Oh yeah, they said that while also trying to provoke the boss back to middle, only to cleave majority of the raid with Hysteria. So much for wanting a fast ride huh…

• Various 5678 & Leveling duties, mostly HW duties
On alt exclusively playing healer role. I’m really liking the vicious cycle of tanks who refuse to pull bigger because I did not ‘heal’ them, which only result in me not pressing my heal buttons more until they brought it up by requesting a healthy 100% health bar at all time. Not gonna happen buddy, you’ve never died. I’ll heal more if you pull bigger.

Nier's Tower raid as a WHM in Roulette:
Many fresh people, took forever, rez a lot, only died once because I miscalculated how far the annoying forced march would lead me but overall a decent job for myself and WHM is sleep inducing.

No comms or whatever but I finally got the damn fending leggings which no one wanted, so I am the happiest person in the raid.

The raid itself is not common and only got once as a tank in roulette without the gear dropping so a big relief.

It started off with me accidentally queued Dead Ends after turning off explore mode to do some gpose.

I'm playing SCH. I get this DRK tank.

I find he's a little high maintenance on the heals. I eventually get around to inspecting....
600 weapon... ok
A mix of 590 gear... left side has no materia and right side has direct hit.

The mob packs didn't even go down that fast.

(People say healing is easy and this huge overhaul is needed. I'm convinced they don't even play anymore.)

Wow. That is a self-own of truly impressive proportions.

I've done something like this in POTD. One guy wanted the silver chests and another guy wanted to run straight to the portal and do nothing else regardless if it was open or not. He started to get really mouthy about it taking too long so me and a neutral guy started to help out the guy who wanted the silver chests. Right before we hop into the portal to the boss we vote kick the mouthy guy.

I approve of this level of pettiness.

Doesn't matter if that one syncs or what happens to melds. I know how things should go.

Wow I love being blamed for Healing problems as melee /s.
This was with Healing issues the entire way through too, we did quite a lot of pulls and every pull I could feel the lack of Healing and Shielding.

What an absolute moron, I actually did get legit mad.
This was after wiping to Enrage in P4S Phase 2, I was desperately holding on for dear life it was like no healing was going out at all ( again this was a consistent problem I noticed ).

I use all of my defensive tools every time I am doing this, even if I didn't ( WHICH I FREAKING DID ) it still wouldn't have changed a bit because we simply weren't getting shields and heals.
This was a SCH too btw, and I don't think we got a single shield in the last phase.

Sry to rest of group but I ain't dealing with that bs, I don't want to play with people like that.

Edit: Also we had issues with a Healer not soaking Towers in Act 3 and going the wrong directions in Act 2, go figure.
Also I DO use Feint actively on big AoE dmg, and I DID use it on the last phase too and we STILL died.
How the hell is it my fault rofl.
