One of my favorite times was when I was told to not use Holy to help DPS. I obliged them, and single targeted DPS until they told me to stop that as well...I damned near fell asleep that run of Paglth'an.

Had a WHM yesterday or the day before in Alzadaal's Legacy who didn't DPS...at all...but instead ran around and jumped around. The tank in there was a WAR so the healer literally had to do NOTHING, except when the tank either hit something too late, or just decided to make the healer work harder, and ended up dying. So they had to heal me(as RPR) when the mobs changed to me, and raise the WAR. And even then, AoEs + Bloodbath made it so they didn't have to do much.

Time to dust this old meme off again.....

They are annoying, the ones that annoy me are the tanks to drag packs out of holy when they see the cast forcing you to interrupt or point mobs at you. Had that happen a few times.


If they complain, I remind them what Holy and Assize do and that these are mitigations and heals on top of doing "more deeps", and that these particular DPS skills can he contributing upwards of 40% DPS depending on the group formation.

A big crown mentor btw



Healer only uses succor to keep the tank alive. I did checked their gears and saw they are all augmented shire and scholar was 64. We're in Sirensong Sea. That's why I offered a bit of advice since scholar is my main and it can be tricky for some people to grasps how it is. But you guys can see the results lol. Green is healer, red is me, blue is tank.

Just an fyi. No, me and the other dps did not get hit even a single time unless the tank dies. The tank did mit properly.

Putting all skills on your bars and maybe using them sure seems hard for some people

To the drk I had earlier in Aurum Vale:

Please wear actual accessories instead of crafter/gatherer ones. They help more than you realize. Please use aoes, as aggro was going everywhere and I was forced to Cure 2 spam over Holy spam. Please do not stack your mits, as they're not additive, they're muplicative with diminishing returns. Please leave the lb for the dps to use instead of using it the second it fills, as it is not your personal bar. Please wait if I, the healer, have to suddenly afk (my stomach decided to empty out its contents when I got to the bathroom) and said I had to afk for a moment in party chat; don't use that opportunity to pull more and expect me to heal you while I'm away from the keyboard. You unfortunately not only ignored this, but you also pulled the boss and ran around the room like a headless chicken. You also got the rdm killed for your stupidity.

We also realized you were a booster, and tried to give you advice in party chat to help you. You also had a sprout icon, so we tried to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Please respond to us in party chat or in say chat instead of leaving it at the end and being an overall jerk the entire dungeon. Your zinger after we gave you advice in party chat was 'I can see party chat' in say, and then immediately left the dungeon.

I hope you step on legos.

Sincerely,

The whm that had to hard carry you when I didn't absolutely have to afk.

So uh… two weird stories.

Went in as a WAR into lv90 roulette. Got Troian.

Nothing special really happened—until that one time I had probably glitched a mob out of the orbit. I simply pulled everything then plant myself into a corner as usual. That one particular dog from four which you can wall pull before 2nd boss was shoved into the wall next to me to the point they look like having a seizure before the game yeets ‘em back to their spawn point. Their behavior was exactly what you’d expect to see when you’ve pulled a mob out of their enmity range.

Nope, the door ain’t opening lol. We had to run back to their spawn point to kill ‘em.

Hitbox collision doing its silly thing, I guess.

Second one is from 5678 Roul: Pharos Sirius as a WHM.

Again… one weird occasion where we’re supposed to have wiped the trash pulls clean up to last boss. But for whatever reason, the moment we zone in to the top floor, I could see I have something on my enmity table: Corrupted Sprite (lmao wat). And it was aggroing me. It stays that way until I actually seen the sprite zone into the top floor themselves… then noped out because I’m already beyond its reach having been sealed within the boss arena xD

Had an interesting moment in Thaleia earlier. A DPS basically got really angry because people weren't rolling, and told us that it was to our benefit to roll now so they could leave and get replaced before the boss started. Sure enough, they did leave right after the final boss started.

Not reportable I feel but the attitude just annoyed me.

[Cincierta]

Had a blm earlier in Thaleia that would often die to the boss' attacks despite the amount of healing I was putting out to keep them and the smn upright. They did so badly they'd respawn after so many deaths and just watch the fights from afar.

Like bud, I can put the danger dorito on me so you can use me as an aetherial manipulation marker so you could at least contribute. But you took the lazy man's way out.

[Rannie]

Its those times when you see a blm in Lunarsubterraine only casting thunder IV, triple cast, thunder 3 maybe, and lucid dream (having full MP and it never dropping below 90%) you know its time to GTFO of Dodge... not carrying a crowned mentor that cant even use a normal blm rotation when im the other dps.

[TheMightyMollusk]

Wow. I've seen plenty of Ice Mages, but never a Thunder Mage.
