This isn't from FFXIV, but it's funny (in my opinion, anyway).

So back in WoW's Cataclysm expansion, my guild at the time had been spending the better part of a week on this really hard boss named Rhyolith. Â We cleared him just fine on normal difficulty, but Heroic was like...a brick wall. Â So we were in there for something like 4 hours and one of the other healers, a guy named Lyloo, pipes up and goes, "Reta, (my character at the time) uh...did you just put that hat on?" Â So I open my character pane and...

I had on a Chef's Hat.

Which had 0 stats on it, but helped you with cooking. Â I'd been wearing the Chef's Hat the ENTIRE NIGHT. Â THE WHOLE NIGHT.

I was like, "Uh...uhhhh....um...well...you see..."

I've also accidentally forgotten that I was wearing a Fishing Pole when it was time to raid, too. Â Blush

Â More than once. Â Dodgy

I didn't know that the circle under mobs showed back/flank positions until a few months ago. I've been monking since launch. Maximum shame.

I've shared my own before.

The funniest ever one was in T9. We were setting up with a clear+seeing if someone meshed well with the merc group. Unfortunately one or two people had connections issues at the very worst moments. I was getting frustrated...

2nd Divebomb and I aetherial manip too early. Go "Oh shit oh shit" in TS3 and everyone could see me running away.
"Why is kage running away"
"Wait why is kage here-"
"ohhhshiiii-"

I watch on the outside as they all get flamebreathed/dived away.

Pretty much all of my RP

Sometimes I wipe the raid and on teamspeak I go:

"Dammit Lag!"

But the truth is there was no lag and I'm just bad at this game.

Kellach Woods · **06-14-2015, 09:51 PM**

I don't think I've intentionally underperformed.
Which makes it all the worse for all of those times I HAVE.

Such as my last WoD, where I faceplanted no less than 5 times.

Similar story -- Cata, guild was running Firelands, and doing heroic Beth'tilac, and we noticed that while our top dps at the time (a Destro warlock,) was parsing at the top of recount, his dps was considerably lower than normal and we couldn't quite make the phase transition. Turns out he had his fishing pole equipped.

God, I hated that raid.

EDIT: I will occasionally "accidentally" slip out of the boss barrier in LotA/Syrcus/WoD for bosses I don't like to fight. (Bone Dragon, Glasya, Cereberus respectively.)

In SWTOR I had a bit of a reputation as "The Pantsless DPS" for reasons you can imagine. Speaking of SWTOR, one of my best moments of derp was forgetting that if you hit an ability, you automatically cast it on the nearest target if one is not selected. Well I accidentally hit Force Lightning while standing near Dreadtooth with 10-15 (I can't remember the exact number) stacks which wiped all three of the raid groups we had put together to kill it.

Back to FFXIV: I once ran through all of T5 as a single Tank WAR without Defiance on and somehow stayed alive, right up until the Hatch Phase here I exploded to a Death Sentence hitting immediately after a Hatch.

Oh, there was the time in Snowcloak, first boss, where I was on BLM, explaining the fight and stressing the importance of killing Bombs.n Guess who started to tunnel vision and forget all about the bombs? This guy!

The first time I did World of Darkness on the day it launched, I picked up the Whilrwind debuff on the Dragon boss and wondered why everyone kept running from me. 5 seconds later the entire raid went up into the air and most of them ended up frozen to the floor.

Caex Vaeriar · **06-14-2015, 10:37 PM**

I've turned the Storm from T13 around onto the party, only to have them get plummet one-shotted when I missed picking up the adds before as a Paladin.Â

Hmn... I'm sure I've screwed up plenty while learning fights. <.<

Caex Vaeriar · **06-14-2015, 10:46 PM**

I almost forgot, as a derpgoon...

I have, only once in my life, Elusive Jumped into the wall. Only once. And every dragoon gets just one, right?! D:Â

As a Black Mage, I've Aetherical Manipulation'd into a random DPS trying to avoid an AoE... only to wind up in an even substantially worst AoE. <_< Often results in my death, that Aetherical Manipulation...Â

As a Warrior, I've forgotten to turn Defiance on for taunt switches all the time. Sometimes I could swear I did only to realise I probably hit it too early (action lock) to activate it, and then cancelled it with another action. lol.Â

I've said I was gonna holmgang / hallowed something before, pushed the button, and then realised I didn't have either skill up. This usually Â results in instant-death.Â

I've been cocky as a healer in T13 and said I could "handle solo healing it" as well, only to watch my tank HP suddenly explode into a burst of candy and confetti.

DW I've seen plenty elusive jumps into dumb things.

Looking at you DRG who elusive jumped into Cerberus spit without being shrunk.

Chris Ganale · **06-15-2015, 12:12 AM**

My best one is an old one from ST. It's after I've done so much ST that I no longer go in it on my peak class, going on BRD instead of DRG. BRD is my "lazy" job, meaning I typically stand in the back of the field and just shoot arrows and occasionally sing, don't do anything.

So we get to Amon, and he drops an ice cage on the DRG in the party, basically right up his ass. Now, this was about my third or fourth ST of the day, and on the previous run I'd seen him drop one really close to him and we were fine. The DRG says we should probably find another cage, and I mention the last run and say we'll be fine. So there we all huddle, up Amon's ass. Someone in the party again states their concern that we're too close.

I utter the immortal words: "Guys, trust me. I'll stake my life on this."

I have a bad reputation with Repelling Shot. A REALLY BAD REPUTATION. If I can find a way to screw something up with that one ability, I will.

Repelling backward and eating all the tank orbs in Ramuh? I've done it.
Repelled off the Titan arena? Done it (I've heard they fixed that though >.>)
Repelling into the giant insta-kill barrier in T11? Done it.
Repelled into the wall in T5, T9, and T13? You betcha!

It's gotten to the point that whenever we go into something new everyone says "Armi don't use Repelling Shot."

They are all pretty glad I'm switching to Machinist.

Actually, your experience with Repelling Shot is one of the reasons why I'm so scared to use it myself when I play Bard.Â Big Grin

Amdapor NM. 2nd Boss. 'Hey let's Elusive Jump...of the damned platform."

Titan HM. Getting my relic. "Let's Elusive Jump...into a bomb."

WoD. Angra Mainyu. I accidentally Shatterspine Dive'd the boss and face planted 2 seconds later while everyone was sorting out who does what. I blamed the cat for doing it. I had no cat.

Every time until like WP NM, when I first got WAR on Kurt and kept tanking dungeons. Defiance was off. EVERY. DAMNED. RUN.Â

Every time until like AV, when I got PLD on Nah. 24/7 Sword Oath.Â

"Dude, trust me, we don't need to wait for a Tank for SV NM. I can DRGtank the first boss I've done it before I swear!" *Died horribly*

"Guys, I'll be pulling big. You'll see we'll be done with AK HM in no time." *was an i100 WAR* *Died horribly*

"Don't worry, guys I can solo that green dragon, no problem, trust me I have Hallowed Ground." Ah I forgot you get level synced in lolflox NM. I was playing on the PS4 and HG was in another cluster of shortcuts...I realized too late the skill was grayed out.

"Hey, Ram, remember don't stand in the Dragon's way. Alright?" Guess who was busy trying to proc firestarter and thundercloud under Vishap's foot?

"Kurt, snare him now!" Guess who spent 5 seconds not realizing he was still locked to the cannon?
