Amazing Moments

[Gamer3427]

With all the negativity circling around lately, I thought it would be appropriate to create a thread where players talk about some of their favorite moments they've had when playing FFXIV. Whether these be just getting a great group, seeing some odd player events running around, or even just finally reaching a goal that took you forever to obtain.....

What inspired me to create this thread was the run I just did. I entered the HL Roulette to get my daily tomestone bonus from it, and wound up in Pharos Sirius. We had a bad group at the start. The healer left during the first boss fight, then the Tank DCed right after, and when I and the replacement healer voted to kick the tank, his friend who was the other DPS left as well. We got a replacement DPS right after. Then, with just me as a MCH, the other DPS as a Bard, and our healer as an AST, we proceeded to clear the entire dungeon without a tank. We wiped on the bosses a few times, but we managed to take them down. While not exactly the biggest of feats, the sense of accomplishment at having cleared the dungeon with only three people, (and not using the "pre-formed party" stuff added in the patch obviously), was quite enjoyable.....

But this did make me want to hear about other players tales of glory and hilarity as well, so if you want to share one, please do so below....

As a Marauder, I was running out of TP once, with 100 left. But then it got replenished to 1000 because I leveled up.

Had a similar crazy moment while hunting marks for the list. Killing one in the Hinterlands on my level 55 (at that time) DRK, kill one only for another to aggro me. Another one aggros me during this and it looks like I'm about to die...then the 2nd monster dies, leveling me so I can take on the 3rd one at full power.

I love it when that happens when using a phys att class. Alternately is true when MP is running out and you level.

My friend and I took down Shiva HM by ourselves. He healed, I tanked.
Especially fun because I never tank. I think we wiped about three times before we finally found a pattern that worked.
It took maybe twenty minutes after that. Shiva got to 16 stacks too....

My most epic moment was when I ended Alex Turn 2 with my Machinist LoS limit break 3, Satellite Beam, to kill both bosses at once before they self-destructed. The hype was real.

I've never felt so useful. <3

Mog EX for the first time. I'm killed just as King starts charging his big wipe move. DPS/healers going nuts, with one healer waiting on swift cast to raise me. Swift cast charges, fires off raise, just as we fail the DPS check. King wipes everyone as I'm raising.

It's not a wipe! King starts charging the move a second time, I'm the only one alive, haul butt over to him, pop every CD I have and burn the last bit of hp he has for the win.

kupo-ex clutch

that's one hell of a clutch.


most recently for me is in trials roulette. ultros fight.

not all of the dps were able to fill up as imps during the fight, so typhon uses his wipe ability...except for the fact

a monk shoulder tackled to cancel the push-back perfectly. needless to say we won.


one of the first few clears i had of turn 1 (back well before 2.1 hit) we did the kite method from 35% until death.

last 5 percent i HG, and almost last the final part of it, die. off-tank dies, and a bard manages to kill the snake before it reaches the healers.

Back in the day when T7 (SCOB T2) was a thing. before the nerfs. I was tanking an add and then used Circle of Scorn. A Renaud pop'd just in time to receive some love form that skill and inmediatly tethered me. The add was still alive, as it just pop'd too. I turned on HG, kitted the Renaud while tanking the add and got back to my position. With all the movement, the third add pop'd already too so I had to grab it asap before it killed the WHM. It was really exciting. I offered myself to kite in the future as a PLD but my request was declined.

Before even finishing 2.0 story line as a SMN, new to MMOs, total noob, have no clue what I'm doing - queue AV with some FC members for my GC rank having never run it before. We get to Coincounter and the other three die to his swing attack - healing myself with Physick when he pauses to charge an attack and using Bio, Energy Drain, and Ruin II, I kite him from 52% to dead.
