Check Your Team's Gear Before Showing Off

[Yurikitty]

So why do you have the timer? If you have a geared group there is zero reason as the healer you shouldnt have been able to keep up ,new gear or not. In fact that should make it 100 times easier for you to heal said dungeon. And, your a scholar of all things, you should be able to breeze through that place. Your gear is very decent. Again, Im not even sure why you are complaining or upset about this. Were they trying to do a speed run without telling you? I suppose that can be tricky but as you wipe the first time just say hey, how are we doing this and go with it. Be happy you are getting carried through the place. One more thing, if I was in your party and I checked your gear I would have never thought twice about doing a clipping run through that place, its not like you are in full AF gear with level 47 rings.... your argument is invalid.

Not to derail or anything, but WHMs are by far the superior job to take on a WP speed run. Holy and traited SS destroy the entire SCH toolkit.

Also, normally the job you are down is the tank (at least on my server). DF'ing with the BRD/BLM/Healer is typically no problem. Check the tank's gear/HP and if it's up to par do the speed run. The tank is the easiest part of the whole thing.

Just cuz they are geared and show off, doesn't mean its easy to keep them up. There are plenty of geared ones that show off, who in reality, are retards that eat every single broadcasted move, yet plan on being healed through all of it after pulling every thing from the entrance, all the way to the first boss room.

If no one communicates and you wipe, it's everyone's fault.

I don't think people should have the mindset of going forward with a speed run if they're queuing the last person through the DF. I joined an AK group through the DF last night and ended up with a BLM who had never done it before and a WHM without relic. You never know what you're going to get through the DF so I always assume the worst and just treat things like a normal run when queuing in DF. It's probably the reason I always choose AK over WP as well because people usually don't try to do anything out of the ordinary.

Just let them all die, and they can leave. I don't leave dungeons on idiots. I just nonchalantly continue to heal them like nothing is wrong until they rage out on me. Then I just blow it off like a cool cat, "Oh, I'm sorry. I will try harder ok, pull again". And each and every time I'll be like "Ok I got it this time, I promise", "Oh so sorry, I hit protect instead of medica, my bad". I just continue on like I'm trying and nothing is wrong until they crack and leave.

I'm close to 50 on my new character, an alt, WHM. I'm sure I'll have this same problem when I get there next week.

Tempted to just farm philo mats on my main and have someone make me a full vanya HQ set and have a friend mail it to my WHM

There are the guys who say they never wipe with a PUG and then there are the guys who actually never wipe with a PUG. The latter is elite, while the former is not.

For all the talks about being efficient and awesome, there sure are a lot of people who don't realize that dying tends to cause the greatest amount of downtime. These guys also tend to be the ones that take a 30 seconds detour to avoid a mob that can be killed in 20 seconds and rage when you do have to fight the mob.

People seem to think elite players ought to play with surgical precision like a ninja, even though it is far safer to simply destroy everything in a methodicial manner when you're playing with players of unknown skill level. It's easy to screw up fancy moves, but even bad players generally know how to kill everything from point A to point B. Part of being elite is realizing the limitation of a group so you don't waste time doing fancy stuff.

LOL I always assume the people in my party in the DF have no idea what they are doing. I don't care if they have full myth gear and relic +1. If they want me to pull faster after they have proven otherwise, then great. Generally, in DF parties, I'm the best geared one by far.

[Doo]

It's mostly Titan run buyers that probably play like that! That's why buying titan runs = bad.

With great gear, comes great responsibilities.

Honestly, if the team was as geared as you say, then there's no reason you should have had any issue. Well geared people don't take much healing.

Most people who act like idiots "showing off" are actually terrible and take tons of avoidable damage. They aren't good, and end up being carried by healers that are forced to try to heal their stupidity.

I don't care if you have a relic +1 (I have one, too)... don't stand in fire. Use defensive CDs. Stop being an idiot. You aren't saving time, you are just being a sloppy idiot that takes as much damage as a noob tank, but think it's "okay" because you're so cool in your gear.

No- you are proof that even a total failure can wear high end gear.

-and "teehee" to the idiot jumping ranged dps that pulls and tries to "tank" because they are so geared... they survive because they have a top notch healer that can spam "curemoron", not because they are any good.
