Extremely agitated: question about T9

[ValkyrieL]

A) Odds are u were too cautious, and there group was parsing you, and your dps was too for ur current gear+echo.
Is probably good idea to parse ur self to see ur performance vs group. But u are new, dps is low on progression.

B) group was just been idiots....more likely the reason

From what you've said, sounds like you didn't do anything wrong. A group who makes a melee (other than a NIN due to lack of BRD, since they have a silence) tank a golem is honestly just stupid due to a melee's single target dps being higher than BRD, SMN, or BLM. I am under the assumption that you: stacked for Thermionic Beam, placed red/yellow meteors on the edges of the arena, were within melee range for Lunar Dynamo, spread out for Meteor Streams, didn't make the tank move towards the wall for Raven's Dive, and placed the green meteor (if you got one) in one of the middle circles. They likely kicked you for any of these reasons:

1) Playing the blame game and blaming the mess up on the DRG (still annoys me that loldrg is still a thing). Was probably the WHM taking the blue golem too close to the red golem and Magnetism likely fused it with the red.
2) You're dps was "low". Not even a valid reason to kick regardless due to harassment rules and ToS regarding third-party software. Also you're new so naturally you're gonna have low dps and also dps is usually just low in general in T9 because of all the breaks in fighting.
3) They wanted to leave because as Valkyrie said, a raid group member got online. Honestly they shouldn't have been using DF for progression in the first place and should've used PF. They were probably afraid of kicking someone they got through PF and figured that they would never meet a random from DF again.

So basically people were being egotistical jerks. Imo, the best way for someone to learn/clear T9 is through a PF, not DF. The farthest I've ever seen a DF group get was Heavensfall and then die right as it started and most of the time DF groups don't get past second set of meteors.

PF -> "T9 learning party! Experienced players welcome as well!" -> pray you get people who will stick around.

DF is nice for most content, but for T9 you generally won't see much progress with it. Even if you do, the group will likely abandon and you'll have to start all over again.

Anyway, it doesn't sound like you did anything wrong, someone in that FC likely wanted to pass the blame and then the rest of them got you kicked. In DF you're defaulted 2 tanks, one takes the green, one takes the blue, and the BRD/NIN takes the red. You burn the green asap, switch to the red (who will become blue), kill that, then kill the red. What you do from here for the next set of meteors is dependent on the group, though I've had the most success with the spread method.

Try again with PF, be patient (doesn't usually fill on your first go), and good luck.

Hiya, please send me a tell in game when you're online. I would like to discuss a static with you! I'm usually on most of the day, so feel free to contact me whenever you're able to!

Haha i seriously hate the vote kicks in the game.
I was running t10 a day ago with an fc member to get his clear. There was a whm who d/cd right before the fight so we all ended up waiting. Suddenly someone vote dismisses him and im like wait hold on ppl he might come back. But ofc ppl just mashed yes so i waited for the clock to countdown. The whm returned with 10 secs to go and then BAM he got kicked for a simple d/c.
Then everyone started to leave one by one then whm re Qs in progress and goes like wtf happened. I was like they kicked you so we all ended up vote abandoning it.
Well that was waste, if only ppl could be more patient in df i swear.

Got caught up and read the replies.

For anyone mentioning DPS, it wasn't my DPS. I do an optimum DPS rotation for DRG (minus Mercy Stroke, which I need to get from Marauder), meaning I put out the max most possible DPS for i118 DRG going by rotation, minus that one ability that is used when enemy below 20% HP. I doubt I was kicked for Mercy Stroke since it can only be used anyways when enemy below 20%. But obviously some higher geared DPS will be putting out more, but even for my iLv that is more than plenty for T9. We got to phase 2 in less than 2 minutes.

For those from Leviathan mentioning a static, if our FC does not form one I'll definitely look into a static. Thank you for the offer. ^_^ What I mean is that our FC was mostly dead, but last night we were talking with a friend's FC and decided we were going to merge. They have raid groups going like we use to have when we had more members. I was doing DF because I figured even if we disbanded I would still get the fight down bit by bit over multiple queues. Didn't feel like doing PF and waiting an hour for party to fill as I have done that far too many times. Besides, DPS queues were almost instant last night on my server.
