DPS corner of Shame

[Atoli]

I'm actually not all that ashamed, but need to get the rage out of my system..x)

After getting pretty far in Thordan EX in a static environment, I went to train in pf parties today. Since there were a lot of things I had relied on my static members for so far, I was fine with all kinds of groups, even total beginners, so I could learn to do everything by myself without anyone telling me where to stand or what to do

But...it was horrible.
I was astonished how extremely people could fail...and while I managed to keep up the patient act, I was raging on the inside (and in LS chat..xD).
Late at night, after way over 50 tries in which I never made even one single error, I finally got a party that was...okay. Not great by any means, but with healers that could heal through most of the unavoidable DMG and tanks that did not die to the very first dives. Sadly, it was also one of those "Uuuh, my 250 dps are so amazing, I'm not gonna waste my time with this group if we can't get to phase X in Y tries!" type of groups. So when most of the dps did die to the first dives, I hurried to explain how to avoid them to save the party from disbanding early.
While I was still typing, they restarted the fight, and - distracted by that - I made my very first error in many hours and dragged a fire circle onto my tower, killing myself and paralyzing the group in the process. YES. I KNOW I MESSED UP. But, of course, the party instantly disbanded and I ended up on several people's blacklist for "not being able to play".
It's been about a year since I was that angry about something game-related! >.<" (never since trying to clear T9 back then xD)

After raging about that party for the longest time, it turned into self-hate at some point now. Like, how could I mess something that easy up? With such horrible timing? x-X

Once I was showing how to dodge divebombs on t5 to a learning party and I accidentally touched the flare wall lol it was too embarrasing >.<

Shaming other...
This one remind me my last T5 i did to help some people... (As a heal)
Unsync t5 killed the p3 way too fast and I forgot to go in the little safe point before the first divebomb
And of course i was targeted...
Bump far from the group, cast a regen on myself, start to move and... Was targeted by the second divebomb
Ok run a bit to avoid it... And got target again for the 3rd one
(The whole team was laughing looking at me trying to avoid twintania bitting my beautiful Ass...)

Adds part done in 2 second XD
Just because i don't believe in coïncidence i went to the other side of the map alone for the next 3 divebomb
And guess what
I was targeted by the 4th and 5th one !
(Damn dragon going for my butt...)

And the best was the 6th divebomb that went in the group and kill the 4 DPS and the MT
I was like... "Really guys... Only one and you're all dead ?!"
Slowly raised them all and we down it without problem

Oh boy, had to post this interesting run from a couple of nights ago. Running an expert and got Arboretum. Tank and healer both geared and I'm an i208 BLM; other dps was a fairly geared SMN. We start pulling and after the third pull, I start noticing things are dying incredibly slowly. So I start looking for a potential issue, and sure enough the SMN isn't even casting any dots. He is dropping shadow flare, using painflare for stacks I guess and then going into dreadwyrm. Each pull is easily taking 2+ min. So I asked why he wasn't dotting. He says, "Because everything is dying too fast, I'll dot the boss." Then the tank spoke up and the SMN proceeded to say, "I know how to play my job." I was baffled. Needless to say, he was kicked shortly after that.

I got locked out of the first fight in Void Ark after it started. I stood right in front of the entrance, got hit by a knockback, couldn't get back in, and stood outside with Foe's still on feeling awkward.

Lmao I have a Few in Sircus tower or what ever its called for the 2nd boss I never knew much less payed any attention that when he goes up in the air that not to touch him he has a refleck effect and I had accidently used a fulled buffed and food full thrust on my dragoon and killed my self for 2.4k dmg. Oh and I think this still exist I don't think they've patched it yet but in AK Hard After you kill the first tree there are these 2 big vines that try to whack you as you run by well one time my friend tried to man pull the whole hallway before and in to the other room were the 2nd tree was and right when he passed the 2nd vine the healer let my friend die and I Accidently Ellusive jumped to help myself get away and I jumped through the wall on the right onto the tree trunks that were hanging from the other side and eventually fell into the water below lol. Both of which are on my Youtube channel for anyone to see if they want. https://www.youtube.com/user/YondaimexFlashx

"Be careful not to fall here," I say as I auto-run off the cliff in Dzemael Darkhold.

[tsunderehatter]

I was farming Garuda EX after HW hit for the pony on my 60 SMN and I had my Garuda-Egi out since the group didn't want me using Ifrit-Egi for some reason, which I would have preferred due to this constant mess up of mine. I was going through my rotation with Dreadwyrm Trance normally and thought about not using Deathflare because of Spiny...but oh, look, the healer next to me has Spiny! ...It was not Spiny, it was Garuda-Egi and I had just one-shot Spiny, which was on the only tank in the group, and because our dps wasn't super great with mostly under-55s, we wiped. I still wasn't allowed to use Ifrit-Egi because "it took aggro of one of the sisters", I guess they wanted the DRG to tank it... I tried to focus target Spiny to keep from Deathflaring it again, but it happened again! Turns out the tank had provoked it and it went over just as I hit the skill. We wiped again, and I'm finally allowed to use Ifrit-Egi. And I got this. Tank a sister with Ifrit-Egi and be able to see the location of Spiny more easily due to less glowing green objects. ...I deathflare'd Spiny a third time due to auto-piloting. After we finally cleared it once, I was told to switch over to another job and I did it a couple more times on my 52 (at the time) Bard.

I'm not proud of those mistakes, but I can't help but laugh at myself.

"How do I place Flaming Arrow with a mouse?"
"Wait no I keep clicking on my teammate, that's not the ground"
"Oh I finally got it... let me just click right-"

Flaming arrow ends up about a mile away from the party.

I went to void ark on DRG last night and had a derp moment at the demons before the big ugly boss. I saw myself get smacked hard to only a sliver of health, then ran through a bleed puddle. A moment later, I saw my 4th combo and botd buffs disappear, and while I heard a heal, I no longer saw my hp bar so I was sad that I had died.

As I was staring forlornly at the 0 HP bar in the party list, it slowly dawned on me that it was too far down.. And my HP was full. Yup, totally just stood still for 10-20 seconds because I saw someone else die and thought it was me.

[ThatOneBat]

I have a new one. I'm not sure if this counts as a derp or not but I was running Titan Ex and managed to get hit by all 5 landslides after being broken out of the gaol.

I honestly couldn't believe it at first.
