DPS corner of Shame

*Sprinting MNK*

I bet you look more like a NIN than MNK when you do that.

Let's see:

Using mantra when everyone is at full health(and no big aoe is coming)

Shoulder tackle into a mob casting an aoe

elusive jumped out the door of a boss room and got locked out

[Choko_TS]

Entered a dungeon once as a Whm. So the dps and tanks were greatly geared and we're all like "yea, big fucking aoe pull incoming". So the tank was pulling like there's no tomorrow. I was ready to spam my heals ..I healed and I healed, I used cooldowns, yolodiction ..and the tank still dropped to 0 HP. Tihen I noticed I healed the Brd all the time xD ..

Wow the embarrassment that must've been felt in that moment o_o

I know this is kind of... a little off the topic buuut.

As a WHM I've kind of derped and focused so much on DPSing in Cleric Stance that people have died. >>; That's like.. the biggest healing taboo ever.

Trust me, you're not the first. I'm having to revive people as a DPS quite often because a good few of the WHM and SCH's I play with focus too hard on doing damage. Particularly in full parties if the other healer showed they could handle it solo in the easier fights. The second we hit something that does a lot of damage though, well, you get the idea......

Doing WOD on my bard, tried to right-click on Angra Mainyu to set him as a focus target. Misclicked on him instead of his nameplate, forgot bards have ranged auto-attack, accidentally pulled with about half of the group locked out. Whoops.

On the plus side at least now I know I can just do shift+F to focus target instead.

I GOT ONE!

I'm a MNK, you see, and I like my TP. My Shoulder Tackle and Sprint are on the same button, just different hotbars.... SOMETIMES instead of Shoulder Tackling the boss, I uhh, Sprint to it... And immediately use Invigorate.

Although I will say having Sprint for positions is REAAAAAALLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY nice... Ya.

Ive done this so many times because of my cross hotbar setup. I have demolish on l2+triangle, snap punch on r2+triangle, invigorate on r2+l2+triangle, and sprint on l2+r2+triangle. Ill probably move sprint come expansion.

As for my derps, its mostly shoulder tackling when I shouldn't, be it the death wall on t11's add phase, the tank with brand after the phoenix egi phases in t12, into the water after a thunderstorm on ramuh ex, or my favorite, shoulder tackling into landslides in titan.

Went into ST as a bard, get to first trash pull and one of the tanks keeps on running, I'm only half paying attention so figure it's going to be another derp speed run, and so I also run up and attack... only to realize a split second later that tank stopped running and I started the fight... and that no one else is running in. I get thoroughly thrashed with entire alliance just standing there looking at me.
