wanted to share this screencap I took a couple days ago from the 3rd nier raid lol, beautifully captioned in my channel with, "haha.. would never do a BLM so wrong like this.. just japes.."

I don't know who hurt this BLM but I'll gladly help to find the culprit.
Reminds me of when a tank dropped his cleaving tankbuster inside my Leylines in Copied Factory. They had half the arena, plenty of room but nope.

Our Sage in this Praetorium run took it upon themselves to spoil what happens in the final zone of Endwalker. We immediately filled the chat with ridiculous and obviously-fake spoilers, because it's that spoiler, the one that sounds fake without context -- but I sure hope SE gives that player a few days' time out. Spoiling the final stage of the story arc is absolutely not cool.

Probably from someone in the EW containment thread upset that their fanfiction that no one will read wasn't shoved into the story.

imagine being so upset that someone doesn't like how endwalker turned out to be that you make up scenarios in your head

So that was a close shave...got Seat of Sacrifice trial for my Trials Roulette as GNB, I've never done it as tank before. Last second use of the LB3 saved us from wiping after the QTE. And I mean LAST second. It triggered just in time so that the buff indicator was going down the screen, and was probably 1/2 down it's path, as the LB that would have killed us went off....

I was the derpy one today. Did a random dungeon as a tank for the first time. Since I'm new at tanking I wanted to be properly prepared. I bought some new gear, found some fitting food so I bought and ate some Flatbread... and to be sure I was prepared, I activated Iron Will before the dungeon started...

Cue facepalm when I learned the hard way how Iron Will works in dungeons.

Having to clear one fight to get to the next is pain in pf, per usual '' P4S P2 act 2 onwards practice '' in reality = '' P4S pinax meme group ''.
You're not even really practicing the actual fight itself that you want to practice lol.

First group today was still a bit memey at first but we got to P2 at least and I got some practice in on act 2 and saw act 4 at least.
Second group I join someone immediately goes on smoke break and around 20 min later I was like nah and joined another group that only needed 1 dps.
This was for P2 Act 2 practice onwards.
Lots of pinax memes, and even Bloodrake memes...
And also I died constantly to no healing at all on me I dunno what the Healers were doing.

And this is what my chat was getting spammed with ( tried to ress and then had to move and the macro got posted again + ressing other people ).

(Healer): ♥♡~Nyaa! Get up wight meow, siwwy wiwwy~♡♥ Dis is no time to be sleepin, Tank baka! (♥ω♥)~♪

Ehm...
I don't really care about macros like these they don't '' trigger me '' but it seriously distracted me I was just so baffled by my chat that I didn't even see which platform was safe on the orbs.

I left that one too many memes and it also wasn't just the macro either they were at least 4 statics I think they had the identical glam and weren't taking it seriously at all in chat.
The other tank lost his patience too and left.

The fourth group I joined we got to P2 then a DPS left the instance to refresh their Ventures LOL...
I've never seen that before I thought the DPS was joking but they weren't they actually wanted to exit and reset the whole thing just to refresh Ventures.
People got kinda mad and left the group disbanded.

It's only when you get synced that any of the tank stances get removed, so as long as you're doing something at your current level it will stay active.

I'm one salty sage after a random Pharos Sirius normal run on roulette.

To the WAR tank that I just had on my alt SGE in Pharos Normal: you have a thing called aggro AoE combo that you must use if you want to get mobs off the rest of your party. The entire run you never used it, neither did you use Provoke or Tomahawk. You're level 80...you should really know better. It's why we wiped on the first boss because I had near constant doggie aggro along with the dps. I can't sustain 4 people that take constant damage as SGE. I can't quite heal you if I'm dying myself due to constant aggro.

There were points where I had to kite and LoS mobs since you did not bother to Interject or grab them off of me. Please. That flashing bar means you can Interject them and stop it from going off. You WILL NEED TO DO THIS in the 73 dungeon, as the Fuath will give trash mobs ball-crushing damage that can be dealt to you. If you don't, your healer may end up sniping you from 1k meters away.

If you're also still having lag issues after the run, I'd suggest reseting your router or check your computer if it's downloading anything in the background.

To the BRD in the same run: you have a thing called Songs that can be used to help everyone's damage output. They're amazing, if not mandatory to make runs smoother for everyone. You were also new to the dungeon but did not speak up. I saw the message at the beginning but it never says who is new. You are never the exception if you're new and don't speak up about not knowing the dungeon. If you speak up, I can guarantee people will be more than happy to help you with the mechanics of a dungeon. They probably won't help you with your rotations, however, as that's something you're supposed to know and look up yourself.

You never spoke up until the second boss' wipe when I realized you were the one cracking open the eggs. It's why I sounded upset because you caused the wipe. I cannot heal overkill damage, I cannot heal dead when I am dead. It's also why I had to sit there and type out the mechanics for you.

This was also the point I realized the WAR who didn't know aggro aoe combos was 80...as they were the ones that said they were level 80 and asked you what level you were.

To the NIN in the same run: just remember to keep your Huton up and use your Trick Attack and you're golden.
