I'd let Liam look at my numbers.

I'm sorry, that was cringey and I don't mean it.

Me on my catboi alt as an AST. Castrum Meridianum via roulette. Got paired with a possibly YPYT-tank.

When the barrier drops, we all sprint forward. The WAR however stops at the first pack. Just spamming their 1-2 aoe rotation. Meanwhile I was a bit far ahead with two other DPSes (RPR and RDM) who presumably at moment also wants wall pulls. We wiggled about a bit but still no response from the WAR. RPR immediately turn around to aggro the 2nd pack. WAR picks them up then we burn both packs effortlessly.

Next pull before first boss, again, the WAR stick to first pull. This time RDM pulled. At first aggro were mostly on WAR. But as we mow down the pack, I noticed at least a couple of mob’s enmity are pingpong’ing. Not an issue though, everything hits like wet noodle. Fast forward to after first boss, it became apparent that the WAR possibly tried to ‘punish’ the puller. Knowing the two DPSes craved for walls still, I just ran forward and pull everything. Aggro pingpong’ed a while but nothing like an additional cast of Asp.Helioses can’t fix. Nice knowing there’s something else to do other than just spamming gravities majority of time.

At 2nd boss and onward the WAR purposely eats all the red carpets like cookies. They even went as far as running toward a proximity marker. But heh y’know what WAR? Blame the dungeon for hitting you like wet noodles. Came out of dungeon w/ comms. I personally believe that came from both DPSes.

I also enjoyed letting his health drop so low he finally pop those Vengeance and Rampart at really low health when he’s actually tanking something!

This is why I SCH. If I have two groups wanting different things...I have my Selene babysit the soloist and I keep to the pack. Healing for everyone.

You gotta be more upfront!

Liam, what if you looked at my numbers with me at the route 2 toyota dealership sale? Unless..

Ok, I'm sorry. I just had to add onto the cringe - it was good while it lasted.

At least we could be cringey together!

[Renalt]

At least we could be cringey together!

Now kiss....

If not I'll be disappointed and I'll want my money back.

I didn't pay any money to begin with...but I want something.

The real cringe was the friends we make along the way <3

Now kiss....

Women can be friends! How dare you suggest such a thing.


(But if you join in, that would make for a different story.)

As a Scholar main...

It doesn't feel like an attack. It's only surprising to see this from you.

(but I do need to say I'm not trying to draw any link between the faux legend and my logs. It was straight from the other legend tank that stuck around for the retell and saw the mistakes that were made. People should be mad at those that give legends a bad name, not me. anyway...)

I appreciate it and I'll consider it. Obviously, I don't use that tool. I've seen one or two links. I didn't know I had a history, but I'll look into it. I do try to use everything as much as possible and keep an eye out for the best times. I also realize when I've made mistakes. I try to save expedient for things like eruptions and orbs. Beyond that, my shielding seems to cover things well enough.

I've had little trouble when healing this and seldom have difficulties healing or filling another role. It's PF, so shit happens. I've only seen enrage with maybe one or two groups since this started and I've been going every week.

I would aim past that, but frankly I had my fill for a while after dealing with BLU savage. Scheduling and personalities is more than I care to deal with at the moment. If I consider going back to savage or attempting ultimate, I'll be sure to check with folks.

Do you ever feel like people are out to get you? Obviously they're not, that's crazy talk but when you spend your daily roulettes getting crushed between other people's spread markers or getting rescue sling shotted away from the team by the healer while you have a stack marker... it feels that way. It really does.

Joined a PF group where people needed help with p4s clear. I got invited to VC and joined in as not to be rude but I said it two times that I wont be talking, I was there to only listen. They said its okay. I was expecting normal callouts.

But after 3 pulls I started regret it. It ended up becoming the most uncomfortable call I have ever had, even more than an actual job interview. They tried to get me to talk when I have said specifically I wont talk on mic especially when it has nothing to do with the content. No, I dont care about how much did you drink in your friends birthday party.

First they tried to be funny, then they teased me for being nervous, "dont be shy", etc (I was not, I just couldnt be bothered and wanted to kill some time by playing a video game, I wasnt there to socialize). Then when it all failed and I still didnt talk, I think someone was actually flirting with me, or with my character, or both, with their friends urging "Go on, send them a friend request after the raid" it made me want to turn my PC off right there and then.

I ended up just muting my sound, enjoying the fight with no "background noises". Then after around 30 mins we still couldnt get past phase 1. Someone left, I think they had enough of it, followed by me, instantly. You think Goku instant teleportation is fast? think again. The moment the RDM left (thank you RDM), I pressed Leave button as fast as humanely possible.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that not everyone wants to talk with any strangers they met? it takes time for me to even want to chat in game with someone. Let alone talk in VC.

Lesson learned. Screw PF discord VC.

[RobynDaBank]

I'd have left that party sooner TBH. Not to blame you though.
