Most Amusing Dungeon Stories?

[UnaverageWalrus]

Good groups? Seem to get those for the most part in queue.

This is a thread for your most amazing / confusing moments in dungeons.

I was tanking duty finder today, I got a group of people who were a group. I start talking and telling them hello, the healer begins to smart mouth me, telling me to shut up, and cursing me out in Spanish (after I pretended I spoke Spanish just to mess with an angry person). After enough cursing on my part (I didn't bother to report), I told them to enjoy the queue, left, and walked out.

30 Minute debuff worth their 20-30 minute wait for a tank.

One time i joined a run and said {Nice to meet you.}, and the tank replied something like "Not really, but let's get this done with..." anyway things escalted quickly between the tank and the rest of the party (the 2 dps didnt like that either) lol, and the tank left eventually... :/ That was weird to me lol Maybe he was having a bad day

I got kicked in a Halatali once as a tank. Healer kept provoking mobs and pulling, so I let him kite this massive group he pulled around for a while before getting aggro on them.

I got kicked, but boy was it worth it to watch a Lala healer being chased around by like 15 giant insects and snakes!

Benny Hill theme was perfect for it.

... Thanks for that image being stuck in my head. Haha! Lala being chased with Benny's theme. :P

I always play power metal when I'm tanking on a pink lala.

My friend and I queued together as bards for WOD. Everything was fine until right after we beat the dragon. Someone says to me "good luck Aeon".
I was about to ask what about when suddenly boom popup they want to kick my friend for doing..........nothing? It said 'cheating' but um. No. We were talking to each other I'm preeeetty sure she was not cheating.

Anyway she gets kicked and I leave so I never figure out why they were wishing me luck. (Also to note, we both were wearing the bard chest piece from WoD and there were no other bards. The chest hadn't been opened yet. Even if it had dropped we would've had to pass it so kicking her for the drop made no sense. Not to mention they didn't know I was going to leave?)

I just dunno.

I was called into a Pharos Sirius to replace a Tank who refused to do the instance with a healer who had never run it before. So as soon as I got in I started acting like a real Diva about everything. "NO! Darius does NOT Run instances with an amateurs! Fetch me a Perrier, I'll be in my trailer!"

It was a bit of a rough ride, but we had fun and nobody got too pissed off. We didn't have a whole lot of time since the other Tank refused to just leave and take the penalty. It came down to a hectic Siren battle with the healer yelling "GRAB THE PRIVATES!" as storm privates came charging in and me shouting back. "NOT IN PUBLIC!" We almost got her down, the last DPS standing had her down really close, we were making Jurassic park references the whole time. "Shoot her! SHOOT HER!"

We didn't clear the instance, but that instance was the most fun I'd had playing the game in quite some time.

pouting tank wiped us all by pulling too many mobs at once and not able to handle it two hits he was dead...he asked to be kicked proceeded to act silly didnt want to move. So after a while healer (me), BLM and NIN decided to go ahead alone...we undergo lots of insults from tank laughing at us that we would wipe and the like, we didnt care, we left the tank pouting and we finished the Amdapor HM without dying a single time and we had no problem....lol a pouting Hyu tank is just..fun to see

Just last night, I was doing my Low Level Roulette with my level 20 Gladiator trying to level it up and I entered Ifrit Normal. I thought this was not possible to wipe. I am the Tank (obviously). First thing I do always is say Hi ^^, then at that instant the BLM starts to cast Fire...I'm like What...then he actually casts it..I'm like huh?? Let him get kited by Ifrit for a while before pulling aggro off (LOL) was funny to watch stupid BLM get literally near death by Ifrit. Then comes the moment of truth. That's right. Ifrit's huge DPS Check...a single nail.

If you guessed, we wiped, you're right.

So I tell the 2 DPS, okay, you have to focus on the nail. You can't fight the boss during this. Just focus on the nail. We go in. We get to same point. This time, they are focusing on Nail. I am watching them. I'm like, we got this. For a second, then I notice...Nail not going down very fast...five seconds later...we wipe again...I was like....wow. Never wiped twice in Ifrit Normal ever.

Then the moment of truth. I remind them one more time and I'm sure we got this...I thought this time I would help them with a couple of Shield Lobs so that we got in some extra damage. We BARELY made the DPS Check. I'm like...you've gotta be kidding me. My shield lobs made the difference between a third wipe in IFRIT NORMAL and victory. I lolled all night long and I still lol everytime I think about it. I think I will never stop lolling. I feel really sorry for the rest of the game that has to have those two DPS because I'm pretty sure they must have just spammed the first skill they have...How can you wipe almost three times to IFRIT???

Ok, this is scary... I had a similar Ifrit misadventure a few hours ago (we are also on the same data center so it makes me wonder) only this time I was one of the two Black Mages in a party with a newbie gladiator and conjurer (both had the green sprout mark).

I say my hello as we zone in, healer casts protect and gladiator pulls Ifrit. I cast Fire twice and Ifrit immediately pulls off the Glad and turns on us. I stop DpSing and start trying to figure out what the Gladiator was doing wrong, because I figure: "newbie tank, mistakes happen, teach them what they need to do so it doesn't happen again." I switch to the Battle log and start watching it, and I see everyone else doing the expected stuff but the Gladiator is only auto attacking with occasional Fast Blades. I tell them to use the Fast Blade -> Savage Blade combo. Me being distracted by enmity issues and trying not to steal Ifrit off the tank misses that the nail has dropped and it detonates.

Gladiator tells us to focus on the Nail and I apologize saying that I was focused on not stealing agro. Other party members agree with me. We reattempt, have not enmity problems, clear the nail this time and finish the fight. I give my commendation to the healer wait till everyone exits their cutscenes and then zone out. I come out with two commendations.

Pretty much every time I enter a dungeon is more amusing than the last. The only one that still stands out was my second run on Halatali HM. Decided I was going to go "balls to the wall" full in ( no that is not a sexual reference). Pulled every mob up to the first gate, held no hate and died rather quickly, and the party wiped. Hmmm "well that didn't go so well" I said. Then there was just a lone voice, healer I think "if you're going to pull that many mobs, you may want to use shield oath", "oh yeah, that may be a good idea". I split the pull into two at that point, just to play it safe, the rest went very smooth and actually got all commendations. I don't know how many times I have forgotten to switch from sword to shield oath.
