GIFs for those FFXIV moments

[Saseal]

When I explain a mechanic to first timers and what not to do, and then I get distracted and do the thing I tell them not to do |||OTL



When, at the end of a trial/raid, I give a dps or tank a comm for being helpful or being funny - but then remember someone had been brand new and did pretty damn good and communicative for their first time in... and a comm for them would have been a good confidence boost, but I already gave it away...


Every time you explain multiple lines of different mechanics to new persons in the party........and then someone starts explaining the exact same thing, a few moments later, as if you hadn't just typed out all the explanations already/didn't exist


Accidentally hit swiftcast instead of the adjacent Helios, on my hotbar, in a pugged DF trial that's been going south. "Oh, well, that's okay, no one needs a raise right now and if a dps goes down again, the cohealer can get them if need be". So, I use it on the Helios.
Cohealer KOs a few seconds later.


(love you too, Murphy's Law)

When my computer does this thing where it randomly decides to display a large sound blaster splash screen right over FF while I'm in the middle of healing large pulls/raids/trials

(luckily it's only a few seconds and doesn't hamper button presses, so I can blindly spam heals... and only appears if I restarted the computer sometime within the hour o_O)

How I feel about Totorak, Hullbreaker HM (yeah, wasn't a fan...) and some of the slower/more boring dungeons


When I just feel like mindlessly spamming one of my four usual chosen trials, all night, instead of doing roulettes, leveling other classes, tome farming or being productive in general

...Then, at the end of the run, instead of calling out the bad placement that killed most of the raid, the other off-tank goes: "Yehn'zi, what the hell man, why didn't you pick up the aggro when the main tank and me died? You're a tank, you should have grabbed it!"


Yes, me and this huge crowd of people standing outside the lock-out barrier will get right on killing the boss.

I'll bite their ankles off! >:0

It's been an interesting one. *Been lurking*


Glad to see some well articulated replies in it, too (and not salt-baited keyboard slams)

For the most part, I've been like this raccoon

That .gif looks familiar for some reason :P

It really is a unique one. The whole thread is just, "You are absolutely right in general, but that's not what that word means," and the OP getting all up in arms about it...

Can I ask what thread this is, hope I'm not the OP, doubt I am, lol?

I know it's so soon after my last batch, but >.>; One little unrelated google search led to another....

How I picture tanks silently fighting over whos going to MT, amidst mid-raid >.>


Speaking of raids,
Me, after watching the vid of a WAR soloing (and killing) the last boss of Weeping City, for 15 minutes, with no healers or dps assistance.


It made me want to dust off my main character's MRD (and my alt's WAR, but I didn't feel like going through storylines. Again.) and actually do something with it.
When I re-geared and looked at the skills, I'd forgotten what most of them do (other than fracture/bloodbath/overpower)


When I told one of our FC's regular tanks that I'm interested in learning WAR again, due to the video... he was most definitely:


What I imagine is his smirk when we go off to level/re-learn MRD a low level dungeon


What I'll probably end up doing, again, when he demands I tank something without the safety of an all FC party.... and I've chickened out due to the lack of that social safety net


How it usually tends to go with me in the lead >_> (on DRK)



If I were ever to MT/OT something...


When I tend to get self-depreciative, after I've made a mistake/died to something (on any class) OTL

When someone is on an angry posting spree, just letting the butthurt flow, and it's becoming uncomfortable to read...

When the first wipe in a new run of the new 24 man raid happens and "that guy" starts raging:

More like:


And the even more common alternative: no one wants to be the MT, so it turns into a stand-off until someone caves:



Andddd me, stuck at work, thinking about FFXIV all day:


Remembering I have too many obligations to play, even when I get home:

You forgot the rare, one tank knows they're too tough to be denied and charges in before the rest can even say a word:
