Titan EX, four mentors, all DPS. You can guess which four people died during every pull.

AST is just pure depression in DF.
I practiced AST a bit in normal raids and used my magical abacus to spot my most common mistakes I need to work on before giving it a spin in Savage, so I had a bit of a feeling for dps in general. And during most of the runs it was a dps gain to reroll a melee card to ranged and slap it on my co-healer - during burst. I think I only had 1 or 2 runs where we I didn't have only a single dps being above both tanks and healers, the rest of the runs it was one dps > my co-healer/ one of the tanks >>>> rest. By a mile.
Only one first timer the whole evning too.
Time to macro my cards so they all go on my co-healer or one of the tanks.

That's how a DNC must feel when they partner someone and their partner somehow manages to die before/ during every single Tech. Then you switch partner and the new target suddenly has the urge to go horizintal as well.

Honestly his stance shouldn’t have mattered since he didn’t have his job they could easily hold agroo off him. Provoke is worthless without good damage (and thus threat) since we can just provoke back and oh look you’re on cooldown now.

Some healers seem to think a swift cast ress is just another way to do more damage. Third time that happened in a dungeon I let him die before taking it. I can see your cast bar I know you’re spamming glare.

honestly? as easy as normal content is, SFC is just dmg tool. I don't go one normal dungeon expecting anyone to die either so that might as well be on you :^)

It was when I, the green dps, spoketh the word "Swiftcast!" when the BlackMage heard their calling, returning from Narnia where thou have been during heals, sprinting towards the enemy, directly into the orange juice. Naturally their life have been taken. Sadly i already clicked on my 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 dps combo button. Here i stand. Shall i hard rez? When i hear a bell: "Healer plz heal nxt time" in chat.

Some healer, and I am absolutely no naming names here, accidentally rebound their keys for a dungeon a couple of days ago.

This healer, and again not naming names, thought that they were casting Medica 2, as that had always been bound to the 2 key.

However, due to an ability bar that hasn't been locked, this had somehow swapped with Asylum, and this healer was not aware.

So, this healer was in a dungeon that they had never done before, but always checks the mechanics beforehand but you can't really remember everything as many of these guides are lazily written. Some mechanics you just have to experience.

The healer hits the 2 button, and suddenly an orange ring appears around them. So they start running and running, thinking they are going to get hit by an AOE. The AOE never comes, but the orange ring doesn't disappear.

It is only when the healer realises that the other 3 in the group are dead that they messed up.

Alas, everybody had a good chuckle about it (or so I am told). The rest of the dungeon went off without a hitch, and the healer got 3 commendations.

Had an interesting trial today. Tank A decides to take aggro from Tank B. Tank A does not provoke to retake aggro, tank B does not mitigate. Tank B gets slapped and dies. Meanwhile my co-healer is dead and I'm busy topping off other party members while trying to heal said tank who is also not mitigating while also raising the other tank. With tank B we slowly wipe as a double flare comes out and yeah... not fun.

Healers get blamed fully and to make matters worse it's my first time on said fight so when we restart, I slipped up on a mechanic later in the fight, which probably justified the blame.

Edit: I seriously feel like people kick me when I'm down. Haven't been performing my best but it's like whenever I'm not someone always manages to find a way to make it worse. Had a rough Aglaia, just really awful from me but to make matters worse one of the tanks decided to share their tank buster with me during one of the triple tank busters. They had so much space and for some reason they clung to me. I kept running and I couldn't shake them, and I honestly think it was on purpose...

Just had a sephirot run where on the 2nd attempt, we were doing great, until my co-tank ate it a bit before the 2nd add phase. With a SMN and RDM in the group, there was no one rezzing them for too long a time. Adds wrecked us and seph swiped left.

Cure I and Cure III white mage...

Literally ran out of MP on 2 enemies because they spammed Cure III...

Attempted to correct to no avail lol
