I'm a Hrothgar...in spirit. Maybe one day they will be in a better place, and I can actually play as one without feeling left out.

...Yeah, I know. I laughed at that too.

Damn furries ruin everything.

Did a dungeon where the healer went out of their way to rescue me into every possible AoE. Which meant the healer had to ALSO stand in every possible AoE for that to be possible.

But, they assured me, they REALLY knew what the mechanics USED to be once upon a time.

Never had such an awful Dun Scaith before. Like I guess healers just weren't prepared for DH hitting so hard, but they weren't healing in general to begin with. Most of the alliance was wiped out on most bosses because healers flat out weren't even bothering to use their aoe spells, so raidwide attacks would slowly wittle down the parties until we died. Best part of all is at the end when they pat themselves on their backs like they did amazing.

Tonight while running Prae for the 7th time today on my baby Dancer I encountered a group where the other 3 were all from the same server. They were bantering back and forth during the starting cutscene and I just couldn't figure out what was going on. Then we zoned in and I realized they were friends that had queued together so this was just joking between friends. Got a little farther into the long cutscenes and I started joining in and they included me in the fun. We got to the last boss and the tank asks are we playing tank buster roulette? I asked what that was and they told me the tank turns off his stance and we see who gets hit by the tankbuster first. I said well its up to the healer because shes probably gonna be scraping me off the floor. Everyone laughed. I don't think he actually did it. Got to the end and thanked them for the most fun I had had in Prae in years.

I encountered the same thing except it was in Castrum! I was the healer and thought I was in the run from Hell. Tank couldn't keep aggro worth beans.

It took all my MP to keep everyone alive. Then, while I was recovering MP after a wall to wall pull, one of the damage dealers told me about the roulette game they had been playing.

They apologized for the stress they had caused and complimented my healing because they hadn't expected anyone to be able to keep the "winner" alive.

I laughed and let them play the game on the final two bosses. It was fun! Got three commendations too.

They REALLY wanted to "go together!"

That's real love bro. So whenever the wedding happens I want an invitation.

I feel like these mogtomes really show how lazy some people are/have gotten. In OCE, generally, alliance roulettes are run unsynced. So, when mogtomes event comes round, suddenly people are running it synced and noone knows how to do the alliance raids properly. Tanks don't split adds. Healers don't heal their alliance properly. The amount of people that cannot seem to understand the concept of, when you have a boss fight in a wide area or the add phase, that A is left, B is middle and C is right. Because it's so rare to get anything other than CT (and sure, hopefully that changes with the new patch), any time they actually do a different, synced, alliance raid, they become headless chickens.

Normal raid roulette: Alexander A1 Normal
One of the easiest raids out there right? RIGHT?
Well you probably wont believe it buuuuut... we actually wiped at the boss.
Havent seen a wipe in there since ... i dont know... early heavensward?
Dont even know how it happend. Just noticed that our overall dps was kinda low (saw our BLM using a weird rotation, like Fire 2 followed by Fire 1 and Fire 3...)
And one healer had connection issues.
So yeah. It sure felt nostalgic.

Isn't that the one where once it gets to 10% the other one shows up? Don't you just have to set it that the both die roughly the same time?
