"Fun with Ley Lines"

I tend to stand in people's Ley Lines, too, especially with FC mates. Usually commenting something like, "MY spell speed now :3" It's especially fun on Warrior (when OT-ing and people stand at melee range, like Titan/M8 and similar things).

Did my first leveling roulette with my 44~ WHM that I haven't touched in about 4-5 months. Got Dzemael Darkhold. I was still a bit undergeared and a little antsy but everything was going smoothly

Then the tank got punted off the edges by the frogs like 3 times.

Idk how I even kept the rest of the party alive, but he ran back up each time and we finished off the mobs (including the additional ones he pulled by falling) so it was ok I guess

Always nice to be bitched at by the tank that doesn't dodge AOEs that I should be spamming Esuna constantly during Aiatar. As opposed to, you know, people not standing in the bad and being able to sit safely at 80-90% in faceroll content like they should.

Done speeding people through their roulettes for today.

My second Odin run ever (pug'ed). I don't have high hopes as I've already wiped a few times during my first run, the mentor there said Odin is impossible to pug and can only be done with a FC and TS, everyone being lvl 60 with high-end gear. I commented that Odin is supposed to be made for lvl 50's with at least 95 iLvl, to which he responded "People at lvl 50 don't know how to play properly and it takes a lot of practice to master rotations.". He leaves, we vote abandon.

Got queued again! So we wipe once, Hall of Stone kinda got spread out too far and got to many people, no biggie, we get up and go for it again. And we succeed (last second LB got him x) ) Everyone is overjoyed, thanking each other for the run. Oh, did I mention that apart from me at least two of our tanks weren't lvl 60? So, to the mentor from the first part, sincerely, we did the impossible ^^ Shoutout to everyone in that run. Again - you were all awesome!

In my quest for Birds, I qued up for Bis Ex via DF.

Most groups are alright, sometimes you get the groups that derp too hard, but over all, general success. Was in a group with a BLM in particular. No newbie bonus.

We kill the first two adds fineish, slightly slow. We all hop onto the back to burn down the back... except for the BLM, who stays off the back on the land and DPSes (without Enochian, mind you... I don't think they did Enochian at all).

I type in chat that in order to damage the boss, you need to be on the back. We killed it right there, so we all get thrown on the land. I grab my add (I was tanking), and do my typical things. I see the BLM's health dropping lower and lower... our WHM eggs Benedict. I type in chat that you need to attack opposite colors. Colors swap, and I assume BLM got lucky because they kept attacking the same thing. We kill the two adds, and then go through the next set. Weather changes to wind. I type to stack in middle... and suddenly, half the group goes flying off. No biggie, it's whatever. We wipe.

We try again. Get to the back, and the BLM still isn't on back and is still casting Fire. I type out, "Hey -name here-, you need to be on back to damage it." Still nothing. We kill the back, and then the party starts talking. Apparently this guy has been farming Bis for two days or so, and was doing the same thing (on DRG previously). We kill the adds, get back onto the back. BLM still isn't on back. I type out the same thing again, still nothing. Next phase is Lightning phase, BLM stacks next to a water bubble. They get one shot, healers don't bother rez'ing him.

We clear, and we all type out at the same time, "you're welcome for your carry." Funny thing is? The bird dropped, and BLM rolled on it. BLM was second highest roll. Thank God they didn't get the mount.

Mentor roulette ; Joined Void Ark in progress, the alliance was already fighting the last boss. I was locked outside, didn't get to fight.
3 commendations.

Yeah right.

It's roulette o'clock and I'm on my SCH for some quick runs, with my guy on PLD. 60 roulette and it's Alwaysreap. We have two bards, one who just met the min ilvl and is new and a decently geared one. It's a little slow, but nothing Selene can't solo-heal. We get a little over ambitious and make a big pull with the bees and the next set of mobs, but our dps is too low and my guys runs out of tank cool downs with too many final stings going off at once. No biggie.

We pull again and the well gear bard pipes up and stays that I don't have to use cleric stance, because he's singing foes and it will increase my dps without having to stance dance.

I laugh until I fall off my chair before realizing that he's not kidding.

Even after I math it out for him. (INT out of cleric = 273; INT inside of cleric = 1100. Foe Requiem's is increase 10%. 273 + 10% = 300. Cleric + Foe's = 1,210. 1,210 is a larger number than 300.) Even with battle voice, cleric stance is an increase.

I'm not sure which is sadder, that I out dpsed both of them put together or that the guy offering this game breaking advice had all classes at 60.

[cgbspender]

It sounds like he wanted you to stay in healer stance, aka he didn't trust you, aka he thought you were the one to blame for letting the tank die, aka he doesn't realize how low his dps was to kill bees.

Typical.

Got put with two DRGs during a Lost City HM run who seemed to be trying their utmost to keep the noble loldrg reputation alive.

Particularly during the second boss fight, when they kept taking it in turns running into the Ancient attack they had decreased resistance to, so I ended up having to raise one of them every other minute or so. They must have KOed over five times between them.
