    Once had a run of e4n where both tanks were new. We stood there for 3 minutes. Neither had tank stance on and after 3 minutes of ready checks with 8/8 and still no pulling i just pulled myself on astro. Both tanks refused still to put on stance and voke so we wiped slowly and painfully to titan auto attacking and bustering dps to death. When i started asking what was wrong with the tanks controllers their defense was "i'm new" and dead silence and i'm assuming their dps friend piped up and said i shouldn't be so mean to new players (lol). Another pull with that nonsense again and i just threw up a vote dismiss on a tank and left after they were kicked.

    Decided to do my remaining leveling roulette with RDM this morning around 7am and got Quarn. After the party wiped somehow during the first boss, the healer instantly quit and so did the second dps. When a 2nd DPS joined after a while and still no healer in sight, I quit as well and re-queued a couple of minutes later (at that time, dps queues were pleanantly short xD). The result: Quarn again, with same tank, same dps and another healer *lol*. No trouble this time around.

    Ran Amaurot for an alt there other night getting them through ShB. Trust, of course, and it went fine. Cleared it with a blip or two, nothing major. My fiance, however, was struggling. Kept wiping.

    That's fine, I say, I'll finish and then we'll queue up. Should be easier with real people that AoE. Boy, was I wrong. We queue in to a Samurai and White Mage. I'm on Warrior and just did this not five minutes ago. The mechanics are fresh. My fiance is on Dragoon and I'm telling him the ones he doesn't know.

    Healer goes down on the first boss. Okay, I think. Probably their first time! We wipe. I wait for them to ask about mechanics, but there's nothing. They probably figured it out. These are pretty self explanatory.

    And they did! They're doing good, but why aren't they healing the Dragoon? Are you going to heal them? No? Aaaand they're dead. Raise them. Then the Samurai goes down. Queue them hard casting a rez in the middle of the big AoE and dieing. Yaaaay.

    Go back I'm once more and the part where you have to run to a certain side of the platform appears. I'm mostly dead, equilibrium is on cooldown and I'm heading to the other side, still not seeing any heals aaaand. Auto attack. I'm dead.

    Okay, fourth time is the charm right?
    ... right? Not really! Samurai goes down, respawns immediately and leaves. Dragoon goes down and respawns.

    Somehow, I manage to solo DPS down the first boss from about 50%, the WHM just tapping on her healy buttons that seem to work so much better now that there's only one person to heal. For the first time in this dungeon, she even discovers Holy! On... on the boss.

    But it doesn't matter. It's dead. Finally! Onwards!

    Then we wipe on trash due to the healer idling about. 40 minutes and five wipes. I left, queued back in and cleared it in less than half that time with different people.

    I was tired after that, but rant over. At least the crew we got for Hades was fine.

    I got Sastasha yesterday in leveling roulette on my RDM, and we had an interesting tank and healer to say the least.

    The GLD had no idea what his tanking skills were, as he was a returner and didn't bother to look at any of his skills before queuing up. He asked in chat what he needed to use, but nobody else was answering, and i've never played GLD/PLD before so i'm just like "uhhh....Shield Oath? Maybe? Do you have that yet? Also any AoEs?"

    The CNJ was a sprout, and as soon as the tank held aggro she would just spam Cure 1. Even if he was at 98%. For those who don't know, Cure 1 at that level heals about 50+ percent of a tanks HP. Being a WHM main, i wanted to scream. I thought about telling her how to optimize her play, but 99% of the time that either ends very badly or the sprout doesn't know how to read chat. She'll just have to figure it out on her own later.

    The tank was also trying to do the mechanics for the final boss, which was a beautiful thing imo, because most people have no idea anymore because the boss dies too fast for it to matter.

    Last night I was taking my alt on some of the main roulettes and duties before reset. Higher end duties on Crystal can be a bit more of an adventure than on other DCs but the trade off is a much more laid back attitude. I always do Copied first and that's where our story begins (and ends).

    During the first boss, the SMN of our party asks us to dismiss them. No one can of course, because battle, but I assume they are discouraged by the difficulty of the duty (because at least one person in the duty is new). Before I can offer any words of encouragement, the smn goes on to chastize our two whm healers for not...healing to their expectations I guess (one healer was down constantly) and leaves the duty. I tell the healers that they're doing fine (at least one of them was anyway) and we continue on. We subsequently wipe at Hobbes and Engels gets through two whole rounds of DPS checks on his second phase AND we wipe once 9S because our adorable tank tried to tank the wrong add but the moral of the story, and a good point the healer who basically solo healed made, is that instead of offering to help with raises or offer advice (they claimed to be a whm main) they just left. Which hey ok. Their choice but what was the point of that kind of commentary? They could see one healer was struggling and the dps of the entire Alliance (like all 3) was meh. So instead of stepping up or just leaving quietly they had to insult the remaining players so...what? They could play better? That's a great pep-talk, whm-main-smn. Glad we had it. :\

    FC's should make a drinking game out of Copied Factory.

    Decided to greet the New Year with a run.... at least half the people were drunk (I had a cute buzz going myself). No wipes, fairly clean runs all in all but... if we'd been on voice chat, the prevalent talk would have been "No! Go away! Don't bring that missile my way aaAAaaaAAAaaaAAHH!!!"

    I had a good buzz too.

    And yes, first thing of the year I did was Copied Factory

    But for the first time since CF landed in the game, I actually managed to score a pentakill with my tether: 3 of those my party, two others from other alliance.

    One of my party members was making a point to get tethers away from the party, to which I responded that I had toggled friendly fire on.

    Then my brother came home and I was just utterly distracted at this point, dying multiple times at the 9s fight.


    Probably should've put that CF run on the backburner till the festivities died. Oh well.

If you're capable of healing DRK back in ShB (or any tanks), then you'll heal EW DRK just fine.

    I have been reminded that I need to actually button mash during the chained-up ATE in the Hades fight. He does not recognize my safe word.

    Just did Malikah's Well on my MCH. Started with GNB, SCH, and NIN.
    Got to first boss, and we wiped. It seems like the SCH was new, even though we didn't get a new-to-duty notification. Oh well. NIN dropped immediately, and we got a MNK replacement.
    Wiped twice to first boss. Wiped twice to second boss. Wiped three times to last one.
    All because the SCH didn't know the mechanics. Like... I admit, I was enjoying the run regardless, but oh gods.. XD so much floor hugging by all of us.
