miss-clicks and accidents

[Local_Custard]

Greetings everyone! Long time no post!
I return with a question for anyone who is reading this. Have you ever made bad miss-clicks and/or mistakes that you needed a moment to recover from mentally?

There are regular missclicks (for example: accidentally healing yourself) and then there are "what the hell" missclicks. One such example is using tank lb when you are trying to do something else or using backflip off the edge right when the boss is about the die.
Recently, I have been leveling my sole tank class just so that I wouldn't need to touch it after that. No matter what I do I just do not like tanking. But in order to complete a certain quota I set for myself, tank is indeed required. I am trying to get all the role quests completed.
I am a controller player. Keyboard is just too different for me to really learn efficiently when playing games. However, an unfortunately side effect is sometimes I missclick and then make a mistake because of it! In my case, it is using lb when I am trying to sprint- I placed sprint in a similar place to the lb. I have decided lb will now be banished to shared hotbar 4 because I have done this mistake twice now.

edit: I just realized the worst part of accidentally doing tank lb. I cannot cancel it. Every other class needs to cast for an lb but tanks have an instant lb. So if I do lb on accident as a healer I can cancel it asap. But tank, I am animation locked. I'm sure tanks need an instant lb but it sure does make it suck when I use it on accident

Lots of times. Usually amounts to nothing major, like hitting LB, or something.

The worst, I accidentally rescued a tank with a tank buster into the group. It caused a row and I was vote dismissed because the group believed I intentionally griefed them. I didnt, it was a genuine mistake. But, shit happens.

Accidentally hitting my aetherial manipulation macros on my wxhb bars and delivering myself and whatever stack or spread damage we're dealing with onto an unsuspecting teammate -_-

Decided I was going to use benediction on the tank for the next pull, so to use it effectively the tank has to be pretty low on HP.

I used benediction on my self... Then in a panic to get a heal off, I threw out tetra and a lilly heal... Also on myself. Tank died. Everyone died.

Fat-fingering disengage moves and flying off ledges is a time-honored tradition in this game.

I've lost count how many times I have healed myself instead of the tank lol

Look on the bright side...

In older MMORPGs while playing a healer I've accidentally healed the enemy we were trying to kill instead of my party members... lol

Sometimes my controller will decide to change targets of not register I am holding L/R properly and nothing will happen, or I will be on the wrong hotkey page. Great fun when i am the healer and people are dying because the heals going to wrong place… or more funny my repose spam instead of my 1 dps button.

Results are far less noticeable on tank or dps, just my combo breaks or I just stand there doing nothing or marking 1/2/3 on mobs.

I also use controller, so some times the triggers to get to the upper hot bars can get misclicked. I try to keep this in mind when laying out my hot bars, as well as keep the same kinds of stuff in similar places for each character: anti-knockbacks, buffs, etc. I know which things I’m likely to hit by accident and try to arrange them so that it won’t mess things up too bad. If you ever see me hit Peloton on DNC in the middle of a boss fight, I double tapped my trigger by accident! lol I have my LB on the “hidden” hot bar that requires 2 trigger presses to activate, so I have to go there on purpose!

Controller is a pain for this. I wish we could remap the triggers differently so the 4 cross bars could be attached to the 4 shoulder buttons and use touble tapping for other things.
