DPS corner of Shame

[Arkenne]

So the other day I went to The Lost City of Amdapor with my MNK cuz I want some shinny meteors in both my hands for glamouring later :v

Manage to get in and I see my companion is a DRG. Tank goes ahead a bit slowly but still packs together a few mobs, we struggle to take them down, the AoE wasnt very strong in that party.

Then I said: "oh damn low AoE in this party, well I guess Mr. Healer will have that covered!"
Mr. Healer: "Not... really..."
Then I thought: (oh, maybe they dont feel comfy DPSing, I should--- wait a minute) *looks up at the icon, a SCH* */facepalm*
Me trying to save it just go with: "oh whops, err, Shadow Flare ftw?"

Seriously, sometimes Im so blind...

AK HM

I get hit with confusion by accident on my dragoon, start attacking the scholar, the boss uses his aoe attack, and I deal enough damage to kill the scholar o:

Luckily we had a summoner to rez them but it was funny xD

[Arkenne]

Speaking of confusion...
The other day I was doing Trials Roulettes for the lols and got into The Battle on the Bridge against our good friend Greg.

I was on my BLM and there was another BLM in there... you know Greg sometimes throws a confusion missile, right? well, it hit both of us and we faced each other smacking away with our staves for 30 long seconds before a healer decided to cleanse us... I was winning!! (each smack was like 200~300 damage)
Then 3 seconds later Im hit with the confu-missile again and go chase that one BLM's head to wack it a bit more... I guess my char doesnt like Lalas much...

It was a good laugh at least :/

T13 Divebomb/Add phase. Using Perfect Dodge and running up to Bahamut, avoiding the damage, then realizing that Twintania is DBing straight at me from behind. Looks cool when it works, but looks derp when RNG screws me over.

As a summoner I am always excited when I am "allowed" to LB something so when I did a Keeper with a bard I had the brilliant idea of LBing the second dragon with the bird. Killed the bird obviously, healer clicked the shield...and the effect ran out before the boss did the room aoe and we wiped.

Swiftcasted some Miasma 2s, randomly had an Egi run off and attack something I haven't even targeted yet, baned too quickly (before bio actually hits the target) and festered mobs without dots on them.

We need a "dpsing horror stories" thread too ;-;

too much shaming and failing as a dps

World of Darkness, PS4 player playing as a Brd, I targets the 5 headed dragon and mashes the "X" button out of bad habit (auto attack activate!), character happily shoots the 5 Headed dragon... 5 headed dragon runs to the idling group and began sweeping characters with its massive limbs and chaos soon follows. Thank goodness the group was awsome and only 3 people (including me, i was typing "SOOOO SORRRY", derp inside a derp) got locked out the instance. The derp was real people, very real.

World of darness again. As Drg I attempted to Elusive jump out of Cereberus's tail flail aoe. Not only i still get hit by it, I lands prematurely into the goo which instantly killed me. I get a Raise, by then many of the DPS have entered the belly so after I get the mini debuff i go back into the goo.. The Cereberus is no longer hungry, go figure. As i'm stuck in the goo I get hit by one of the boss's multi linear aoe moves and then gets followed up by Hound out of Hell. Dead again.

So I'm leveling dragoon and I've just received elusive jump... I decide to switch some stuff around in my hotbar so it's at the same spot as my bard's repelling shot. Which is where heavy thrust used to be, my usual combat opener move.

Cue running up to targets and then elusive jumping far away from them instead of attacking. XD

Fortunately all of this happened in fates where the chaos is such that I don't think anyone realized. >_>
