    Going Right or Left after the first node is not a "Enrage" or "Rot Passing" decision; you choose the side to get ride of mechanics and to get certain buffs on ADS. Left side removes the Chain Lightning and Fire AoEs and adds Magic and Slashing Resistance. Right side removes Gravity Wells and the Pac-Man Pushback AoEs and adds Piercing and Blunt resistance. If the group was BRD, DRG and MNK stacked, going Right is BAD for DPS, and that's probably why you failed. We go Left with MNK-BRD-SMN, Right with BRD-BLM-SMN (our fourth DPS is a heal for Enrage and both tanks are tanks; we just want to win with as little headache as possible and people can take a short break while waiting)

    I don't see you saying that you left the instance to get a second tank and drop a heal, so I assume you entered initially with 2-2-4 set-up, so you never tried Enrage in the first place and tanks were swapping the whole time

    From what I can gather from your posts, you just don't know how to deal with tank-swapping, and never have actually done T2 the Rot way. If you were constantly out of position and hit by AoEs and the base attack, being replaced is reasonable for the overall group. The very first node you should have recognized tank swapping and if you had no idea what was happening you should have said something, not waited for them to say something and kept dying.

    EDIT: Yeah, re-reading the OP that's what it is; you've never done T2 the "correct" way before and just have no idea what is going on. You didn't speak up and say anything and just kept making mistakes; if a PUG does that to us we can't really feel sorry for booting him for wasting our time (because that's what they are doing). If you speak up and say you don't know what's going on we will explain things to you and help you out (heck, we took a new PLD into T4 the one week and cleared it in minimal attempts after explaining what he had to do); if you refuse to say anything and just keep screwing up, we will replace you.

    Sorry to say, but the fault is on you OP.
