Few weeks back, I got 3 hardcore raiders (I checked lodestone after the run) in the Antitower, WAR and I forgot the other dps classes. I barely had to heal at all. Stuff just melted in front of them. We're talking 1 set of adds/mechanics per boss. All I could think of afterwards was:
oh.
Man... did I even need to be there?
I definitely learned the difference between those that try (or can, in this case) and those that just don't bother (when you get to the 4th round of mechanics on a boss and start thinking "is the dps really low here, or am I imagining things?"). I get having an off day or whatever, we all have em, but when all 4 members of the party are the "just gonna coast" sort... it certainly drags things down.
That being said, I got a bouncy DRK in expert recently. He was jumping and moving back and forth around the room so much (not due to aoe)... and we had a MNK in the party. I asked if he could try holding things still for the MNK, but no dice. ADHD maybe? Not sure.
