I died because I assumed the healers were competent, started using Third Eye -> Merciful Eyes later to assist

They had to fire off an LB3 to res me and several others because they couldn't figure out such hard mechanics as Stack Up or Avoid The Big loving Lines That Kill You

Apparently I, as a PLD, is supposed to heal a DRK that is pulling 4-5 mobs at once in PotD

(He quit immediately after this picture)

E: Also with PotD stats you can cast it literally twice and that's it without using Riot Blade

Got into Shisui with.... a really terrible SAM. I reminded him gently at first that he has good AoE since it was just me and the MCH doing AoE the entire dungeon basically and I decided to swap to i270 str right side for the last boss of the dungeon just so I could make such a great parse (DRK is good and fun still, idk why I was down on it after SB hit but I also really wanted SAM to 70 first in the story content so :shrug:)



Be a tank today!

Ah. Rip then.

I know that the thread likes to bash on the idea of pubbie players that are half brain dead and are hostile to any advice, but I've honestly rarely if ever met any like that.

Most just don't know any better and are very receptive to advice. A handful are just not very good and though they'll take your advice, it just won't help.

Majority of the hostile players I've met have been ones that are actually already at level cap, so they feel they already are perfect at their class and are immune to advice.

My favorite person was a PLD that waited almost a minute for protect to be cast, and then didn't turn on his tank stance and died to the first pull.

When I laughed at him he said "fine you tank it" and left, and I went on to tank as a Samurai for a few minutes until we got a new PLD :v:

As a non-raider I'd like to see enmity matter more in all content so I don't feel like I'm being told to take Shield Oath off my bar.

I scared the poo poo out of one guy in our casual raid group when I told him to stop using his tanking stance after we tank swapped.

Then I revealed that I don't even look at grit for o1s and only have it on for the first 20 seconds of o2s (there is an early tank swap in that fight and the stars never align for shirk to be up again for it else I wouldn't use it there either)

Tank stances are for chumps :getin:

We don't have a ninja so i'll have shield oath on to start 1.0 & 2.0S but that's it for those. 3.0S i usually stay in shield oath the whole fight to make life easier on the healers and my damage loss is negligent.

4.0 part 1 i'm only in shield oath for the first rage and then sword oath for the remainder.

I also don't have my sword because i lost a week of playing and so did a healer so i let him have the tomestone since he needs the HP more. I'll get mine tomorrow.

Sounds like your off tank needs to get good. Do your enmity combo until the first twin bolt then have him provoke and shirk to you then swap to your dps combo and you should be golden as long as he keeps doing that every time shirk is on CD.

I also don't have my weapon since I was grinding drk to 70 when omega came out and ignored it for a couple weeks :shrug:

I must not have posted clearly. I'm only in shield oath for my first rage combo and that's it. Our OT kicks all sorts of rear end and does shirk me well.

Probably the main advantage I have as a DRK is that I can Dark Arts power slash (to the cringe of I'm sure every other DRK player) but at least I can never touch grit and keep an enmity lead the entire fight that was :v:

Apparently I have a really bad tank attitude for letting people do what they want, much to the chagrin of this healer

Also I'm a bad tank because I skipped a couple weeks of grinding omega so I could get my DRK to 70 (did SAM first)

what a weird exdr run


E: Also why is it always with the gear insults, I've never understood that. I mean I can understand being like DUDE YOUR GEAR IS poo poo I CANNOT KEEP YOU ALIVE but "hey your wep is 310 ur poo poo xd" is just loving puzzling to me

I mean, that would've been cool but I had 1 more second on Plunge coming off CD as I was running up to the boss and then he darts forward and hits it so I'm like "cool guy"

You were running up to the boss and he mistimed his samurai shoulder tackle? Good thing you taught him a lesson.

If I'm a dps and the tank starts moving I try to time it so I hit the boss at the same time the tank does with their shield lob move thing. Sometimes I'm a hair early. I've never had a tank throw a hissy fit about it though.

No he turned sprint on and ran up to it so he wanted to tank

what boss was that on? Because really I'm putting the blame on the SAM for kiting the boss around instead of just tanking it like a man since bosses are the least threatening enemy in EXDR

The one before yojimbo, the one I never use cooldowns on and stay out of grit because it does gently caress all damage.
