Good times.

Is this of a "recent" run? If yes then how did that happen?? lmao that's worse than getting killed by ancient flare during the final boss of LotA

Edit: nevermind I just realized the 16 stacks on Irminsul. XD

This is one from some time ago. Seeing people die on Chuchu reminded me of that.

Double rarity in P11 today:



I can only recall seeing a 4-melee party and a 4-pair party once each, so it was cool to see them appear together.

Reminds me of when I was in a party that looked like this:

[Cincierta]

That time you hop on an alt to level their WHM healer.

That moment when you hit sprint and tank doesn't.

That moment when you see the DRK tank hit Rampart before pulling.

That moment when the first pull of Ktisis is on and the DRK will strangely not touch Abyssal Drain.

That moment when you see the DRK pile on mits despite your holy stun spam and throwing down the kitchen sink.

That moment when you realize they popped Living Dead but were not in any danger at all as all the mobs were stunned for the entire duration from your holy spam.

That moment when you realize same DRK only used a single TBN on that pull.

That moment during the second pull the DRK is barely surviving despite you throwing down everything you have cycled back on them.

That moment when you're stuck spamming Cure 2 to keep the unmitigating DRK upright despite their GENEROUS SINGULAR USAGE of a single TBN the second pull.

That moment when you realize the SAM is carrying the weight of the BLM that is also in your party for dps.

That moment when you realize this run will take over 30 minutes.

That moment when you hit the U key so ungodly fast after that trash pack to leave. Sorry SAM.

Thats a lot of moments... painful ones god a lot of painful ones... you lasted longer than i would have

[Jettinson]

Can I have more Dun Scaith in my roulette, please?
It is so rare that when we got it, we had a fair chatty duty, easy 1st boss, we even managed to destroy all 4 crystals before the 2nd boss which usually it tends to be 3/4...
It was a very fun experience overall, i felt bad for my tank that got obliterated by Hollow Diabolos but honestly it is one of the few 24 man alliances where being tank is more exciting

[Charles_Mephist]

Dunscaith is always a fun trip. The more chaos the better

That moment where your SCH does the healing version of all this and you leave right before first boss.

I'm probably in luck for coming across these types of 'rare breeds' in DF when I could probably only count on one or two hands the amount of time seeing them firsthand. This time it's the YPYT tank.

I was a BLM in this one Smileton. I watched this WAR approach the 2nd boss after dealing with trash pulls before. As a caster, I want to precast something in time. Which means I'm going to inevitably run ahead and try to match the time when they actually reach the point where they can fire off their Tomahawk or basically enough GCDs to establish enmity before things could go wrong. But I guess they took this personally because after the opening Thunder III, they basically just walk up to melee range, turn off their stance, and proceed on as a gimped blue DPS. I would've died to autos. But apparently the SGE in party wasn't having any of their bs. They sustained me throughout the 2nd boss no problem without GCD. Boss dies relatively faster than normal DF runs. Only after that, the WAR re-stance themselves once more. No words were exchanged throughout the duty.

Now, I would've call that was one lucky big mess that I end up with that SGE & I would've just leave it at that without writing this. But what mystifies me was (a)how the WAR deliberately runs toward the SGE at final boss' tankbuster. Does it did any harm? No, that TB was not an AoE. But sus much? I do think that's sus, especially after their antic on 2nd boss. Then there's (b)on last boss' stack up marker, it went to me. I aetherial manipulation to the middle of the group which was the WAR. But what did this WAR did? They just walk away refraining from stacking. RPR and SGE had a different idea though.

I've heard stories plenty of time. But it's so incredibly rare to witness them firsthand, such as that petty tank tantrum.

Who hurt you, WAR?

I really struggle during the final boss of The Lunar Subterrane for some reason. It's the AoE circles mechanic. I know the concept is very simple. Wait for the first set of circles to explode and then move into that area to avoid the other AoEs. I've done it numerous times before in other dungeons and trials that have similar mechanics.

But for some reason my brain gets confused and the circles seem to spawn randomly and quickly. Even then the mechanic is still the same - simply move into the first area after it explodes - but I lose track and die. It's the only mechanic in the whole dungeon that consistently gets me and I don't have a clue why.

Super frustrated and embarrassed and it makes me only want to do the dungeon with trusts.
