WHM: I'm offended by this post *Casts Medica II*

*Dies from unavoidable aoe healing*

[NekoNova]

This morning, queue'd up for Sastasha to complete one of my relic books for Curtana.
Got 2 new people to the run and a healer.
Pulling the firt pac, he goes: "I'm going AFK, Eos has you covered"


....



15 minutes later I just kicked him, the 2 new people asking why.
Kindly explained I do not carry AFK people throug a dungeon, and that he could have helped with dealing damage.
Both of hem said that made sense and they were okay with the kick they just voted on.
Got an awesome healer as replacement that helped DPS and control the mobs.

Here's to hoping that new people follow the same lesson.

Medica II

I never use Medica II during trash pulls if the tank is the only one taking damage. I don't need to, and it's a waste of my MP and time. That time could be better spent casting another Holy!

But really, Medica II isn't needed in a lot of situations. Regen+Asylum is fine in most cases.

Did a PotD run. Myself as healer, 3 DPS. Group pulled 2 monsters, then a monster-trap was triggered, so we're handling 5 mobs and I'm actually forced to heal away. One of the DPS decides this is the perfect time to go and open one of the chests in the room; which of course spawns a mimic. 1 person dies, 2 of us get that 10 minute DoT. But, we make it.

Out of MP and waiting to raise the dead person, our brilliant chest-opening tactician decides that one person dead and an MP-hungry healer is the perfect time to open another chest. Again, as you'd expect, it's a mimic, which kindly gave out some more 10 minute DoTs.

I have no idea the mentality behind 'Well everyone's fighting... time to take a break and open a chest!'

Personally, I always end up with WHMs that use Medica II as an answer to everything.

Someone sneezed? Medica II!
Tank is solid af and can live on one regen? Medica II + Cure bomb!
There is still 15s left on previous Medica II? Time to Medica II!
Raidwide singular AOE? Medica II + Medica a few times to top people off!

This sounds... familiar... almost as if I've read it somewhere before...

Haukke manor, at final boss, newbie tank was doing a good job of amassing the mobs for machinist to LB aaaaaannnnnnnnnddddd.........

....... machinist turned away, leading to LB being fired in the OTHER direction.

Tank died, healer died, and I was laughing too hard to run away before I died.

Wasn't doing much in game yesterday so on a whim I decided to RF Sephirot EX (I haven't clear it yet so yeah) while tabbed off to work on my writing project. I never expected it to pop for the whole day but after 6 hours of ups and downs on the queue status, it finally popped right as soon as I was done making progress on my project. I got all eager to clear it since I was free at the same time after that.

I got in a party consisted of about 5 people that were non-english speakers. One of them was the tank who recklessly pulled the fight without countdown so none of the others were ready. DPS was quite low on the first two phase but we managed to get through the big attack. Everyone else wiped before first earthshaker, with me standing last. After the wipe, they all started to argue with one another in non-english and then they stupidly pulled a votekick on a lowbie MNK which I said no but they kicked him anyway and they all left the party.

6 hours for an old EX drama? Great Hydaelyn, Raubahn didn't lose an arm for this.

I managed to steal 2coms from my fc leader when we qd 50 roulette yesterday. and I do mean steal because by all rights she's a top notch tank. she has plenty of DPs classes maxed but for all intents and purposes she's a tank main, able to survive giant pulls with a mediocre healer.

how did I steal comms from such a person?
*after demon wall boss*
me:I think that went rather well. in fact I'd say it was.... marbleous
rando1:I just let out an ugly laugh
rando 2: xD
fc leader: hey guys vote yes on this pop-up don't bother reading it

Went to cutter's cry to lvl up my dark knight. Got a whm, blm and ninja.
Everything went smooth and defeated the last boss quickly.

I was feeling great (Invisible high fives to go around! XD) and wanted to give a commendation to healer.
Oh he left.
Ok let me give to ninja then.
Oh he left.
Ok I will give it to the black mage then.
...
He left.
At this point i was all alone for a few seconds near the exit, processing what just happened. (Did i hear cricket sounds somewhere? :P)
This is what happens when you grind the same dungeon continuously for hours. *Totally brain dead*
Too bad i can't eat my own player commendation lol XD

So, it's about 9:30pm today and I'm doing some work and Selli's ingame doing dungeons and all of a sudden I hear her start hysterically sobbing. I was really worried and rushed over (honestly I kind of thought someone was breaking into the house), and she's sitting there at the end of Ultima in absolute hysterics. And. Well. I'm just gonna post the screenshots she took.

For clarification, she was crying tears of joy. :^)
I'm not allowed to drive twoseater mounts anymore. Thank goodness we don't take damage from bumping into things.

I guess you guys won't be finding your Waldo for a while.
