I don't care if you speed run it for tomes or not, everyone goes about getting their tomes a different way.

However, learn to beat the final boss before you out yourself as an utter chump in Roulette or DF.

I had a healer and BLM last night who managed to wipe us 3 times on the Gobmachine. The BLM was quite happy to bark instructions at me the whole run on how to pull, he was also quite happy to blast everything before hate was established, and then complain. Then we get to the final boss:

1st Wipe: Healer and black mage positioned themselves right behind the tank (me) and proceeded to get melted by the flame AOE, Wipe.
2nd Wipe: Bombs didn't get cleared fast enough going into last phase, Wipe.
3rd Wipe: Once again the healer and BLM manage to get themselves cooked by the flame AOE. Wipe

On all 3 runs we had plenty of DPS to avoid the last phase of this fight, yet this BLM who was so keen to rip hate off me during the run, didn't seem able to pump out enough DPS to avoid the big bomb.

After the run finished I get the whole "maybe you should just play DPS, it's obvious you're a bad tank". Pretty stunned my reply was "I've never actually wiped on that boss before, I don't think the problem is me". After that exchange he was promptly blacklisted.


tl;dr Don't be a chump in DF when you've been drinking your juice in Speed Runs.
