How bad was your first WP run?

[Waeksyn]

Thirtyish minutes is not so bad for a regular run. A hint for the final boss, save your GCD defence buffs for when he does "everybody's grudge". The move is telegraphed by the announcement "X Enemies Appear". When you see that, put up your buff. You can use Rampart or Foresight for 2 or 3 stacks and Sentinel or Hallowed ground if the stacks get bigger or at the end when a party will sometimes ignore the adds completely to push the final zerg.

Did this early on in the game shortly after hitting 50. I went with an FC group and we didn't really have any problems on the first two bosses, but managing the last boss was challenging. Back then we didn't have the DPS to deal with the little Tonberries fast enough so we found a video on Youtube of someone kiting the king while DPS just focuses on him. After the Stalkers came out we did a BLM LB2 on all the Tonberries while PLD hit Hallowed Ground. The rest was history after that.

My first run I got to do with all FC players and it was quite enjoyable...I could not figure out where the end boss buff stacks were visable...DERP...I play Bard and was in charge of the adds and it was very stressful that first run but I think we wiped on the end boss like two or three times and then we got it no problem. Now the fun new thing is seeing the interesting new ways that people find to do the dungeons and handle the bosses. I still love that first boss of WP...he is so lame and easy it is just too funny...I guess he is a nice "Warm Up" for the fingers.

My first run with Ak/Wp as tank was somehow nerve wrecking, but people from my LS made it easier for me. My regular run for wp is about 25-30 mins, semi speed run is about 20-25. full speed run record was 15.

My first run as a tank was just as boring as the runs for the other jobs I leveled. However, I didn't realize how bad the "out of range" bug was or how things could still hit me while being out of my range until I started tanking. Got lots of compliments from random puggers primarily because I usually heal and have learned what not to do while tanking. Beyond the "out of range" frustrations, the first run (or first 10 on tank) were relatively boring as WP is.

My first run was a group in GC/Darklight weapons and AF gear. We worked to win and it was very satisfying. I believe we had to kill four waves off adds on pudding and a pro blm was careful with my 4300 hp on Tonberry.

That place was more fun pre-nerf.

I made so much gil off that place. Most groups, then, didn't care about chests, especially the chest in the square so I'd wait til everyone left after TK and go tag.

My power supply fried minutes before the servers came back on after myth change, so it was a few weeks before I got to see this but the stuff I was selling for 10k-45k was 29-100 gil when I got back. lolundercutters

Not a WP run... but I did make the egregious mistake of deciding to DF an AK this morning. I bailed after we failed to kill the first boss because 2 minarets were up continuously, they simply couldn't kill them. I, relic/DL/allagan warrior, somehow managed to parse above our BRD at my low 117dps to his 109dps. Our BLM came in at 133. We eventually died to massive obliterate spam and the healer eating a rockslide. Good times had by all!

For someone who has been running these for months... hitting a new low was fun.

I don't think we even cleared it the first time I tried it. This was before they made any changes to it though and it was harder even with the sac pulls and sneaking behind the little tonberries at the door.

I was fine, healer kept on getting killed on 2nd boss when got chased.

Man... my first WP run was after they made it worthwhile to attempt. I told them i haven't done WP before and that i could use some pointers.

2 of them said it was cool and they'd explain it to me.

I had relic and the DD were gimpy and was trying to make it seem like i should know it because i have a relic. After telling them it's my first run AGAIN before the first pull and to let me know before or on the fly, they remain silent and the moment the big tonberry comes my way (i then realize i couldn't target it) they do more bitching and don't explain it and complain that i suck for not knowing it's untargetable. So once i go back to the entrance they bitch that they died and i left.

2 weeks later i do the run with some amazing players from my LS and when i go into DF again they cry and moan that i'm going too fast but thanks to my first shite WP party i ignore it all, gather as much as i can, and talk smack to dps who dare open their mouths lol.
