Got AV for my low level roulette today. My Ninja was really close to 60.

Healer leaves before everyone is loading in. There's one every AV run, I swear. Get a new healer, level 50+ AST. Trash goes fine, we get to the first boss.

We wipe. Healer says they got something in their eye and couldn't heal. Okay. Try it again. Wipe again. Healer blames me for taking their fruit and they were unable to find any others. Fine. Whatever. Third try, wait for them to eat their fruit so they don't complain. Get really close to wiping again anyway.

Oh, yeah something I forgot to mention in my post that your post just reminded me of. Our healer said the same thing, which strikes me as odd...there's 4 fruits so, one person per fruit. its not like the fruit grew legs and walked off on its own lol. Made me do a head tilt.

60 minute Gubal Library today..why? Because the Bard refused to use WM when I told him/her it increases their DPS. They said they like to move around and hate "reloading(?)" and then had an Ast who played spread ewer once their only card that they played, and a Drk not using Darkside at all or CDs when he was getting pummeled standing in AoEs. It was a lousy run gave them pointers that weren't flaming or anything ah well you get one of those runs once in awhile.

There have been others, but this is the one I always remember

Plus with the transpose timer, he would still have to wait a ridiculous amount of time so he isn't stuck OOM. Like.. it would ironically take a bit of skill to make this abomination of a rotation work.

"Abomination Rotation" Sounds like some kind of grindcore band.

Had a BLM pull everything and blamed me whilst tanking that I was too squishy when he died. Biggest facepalm I've had in ages.

The worst is probably a tank in Haukke Manor not knowing how to tank and kept 1 vs 1ing targets with his sword combination only.

Friend offered to tank my mch with his pld in DD last night. I'm not a huge fan of mch and was kinda iffy on dealing with DF, but said sure.

The drg never ever aoed. I think she was synced down so she should have had one, but maybe not. First boss took forever to kill and she didn't touch adds, so her dps was also low.

The healer though.. Cnj, no soul crystal, wearing HQ vit acc. Gear was NQ whites, some underleveled. Autofollowed my friend and used medica to heal. Would not move out of aoes, so I said it was probably a bot and he should leave it out of the purple to kill it. It stopped following then and would refollow after pulls..

It let my friend die after the first boss and we wiped. Drg dropped out and we vote abandoned. I was going to kick after loot anyway.. Said no more DF that night.

Doing Sohm Al just now I ran into a SMN who would not use Ruin, Bio, Bio II or Miasma. The only spells he ever cast were Shadowflare, Painflare, and occasionally Ruin II or Ruin III. When asked if there was any particular reason he wasn't casting these spells he listed the spells he was casting and said the others were "level locked". He meant Tri-disaster was locked due to level sync. Even after being told he could still cast his DoTs normally and being requested to multiple times, he refused to. I don't even understand..

I will top your smn horror story.

Last boss in Fractal smn only casted Ruin. I had to tell him to dot it. He wasn't even using or even had his athear stacks up at any time to get dread wyrm possession had to tell him to do that to. We wiped about 3 times because adds wernt dying fast enough. Wasn't till the 4th that I noticed it was the smn.

Did Everweep as DRG yesterday, end up with a WAR, a SCH and a NIN. The tank does nice, aggressive pulls and I'm like "great, this'll be over quick!". I start doing the usual things and realise I'm going to run out of TP before the mobs are even halfway dead. I check the DPS and see that the NIN is barely hitting 250. 250 DPS as a level 60, fairly geared melee. I politely tell him that his damage output is quite low and that perhaps he should look into some rotation guides and videos on YouTube or something. Not a word in response. The tank and healer get a bit annoyed and rude with him, still no response. We kick him after second boss because honestly, he wasn't contributing much at all. We get a replacement MNK in seconds who dishes out fantastic damage on the last boss. Clear time ended up being 49 minutes.

Have also seen quite a few cases of me out-DPSing BLMs and whatnot in AoE situations when I'm on my SCH. Yeah.
