I ALMOST wonder if I would have gotten more totems joining serious clear parties and helping them out. I'll try it tomorrow.
I know your pain man.

I legit have made it to enrage but I'm unable to join the farms because I still got the eso bonus.

Meanwhile I got people joining my clear party and can't even pass Fang & Claw ;_;

I only ...want the bird. I've legit considered making bird farm parties with the ilvl req of 230. Anyone's mains who they've been working on should be 230 now right? LOL.. my whm is 235.
I dunno, I missed like five weeks of the lore weapon gear drop and the relic RNG just doesn't like me (I shit you not I went five hours non stop once and didn't get a drop from the fates) so I'm still using my 210 weapon lol.

I'm 226

MISSED FIVE WEEKS OF LORE... FIVE WEEKS.. FIVE WEEKS.. the relic is fucking painful beyond that like to get the fucking thing to 230 is absolutely insane. You are better off collecting 1000 lore and 7 midan gears it will take you less time to do that.

Was the PLD trying to take over as healer?

Had a rather interesting run with Leveling Roulette today. Ended with a healer who could barely keep anyone up, let us die a few times, didn't have protect and if they did they didn't use it, and got pissy when I made one single mistake I apologized for. (Namely not being able to toggle one Bertha during the second boss which, again I acknowledged and said it was my bad. One of the tornadoes had positioned itself over it but I should have moved myself instead of blindly toggling it.) Alright, nothing bad, I let them do the canons and DPS'd. Everything is fine. The tank died in a later pull and didn't accept my raise, since I had swiftcast so I could easily get them up and the healer ran off with the entire mob. Alright, figured they didn't know the mobs will follow you to the end of the dungeon so I mentioned it. Got a terse remark.
Last boss went fine and figured things were fine. They ended up running to the portal to leave and posted something in party about how this 'ugly miqo' had the 'audacity' to say something before poofing immediately after. I'll admit I died laughing. First because either it was a mistake on their part to let their salt leak into party, or they did it intentionally to get a rise which was even funnier.
Seriously, get protect if you're going to go the healer route and lower your sodium levels.

Rather then just give the whole complete disastrous rundown that was the entire dungeon. So I'll just leave a few key phrases here to give you the overall jist of the experience.

#1. Don't tank and drink/get high. It's incredibly frustrating to the other 3 members in your party.

#2. Just because you are the tank, doesn't mean you never have to move from aoe.

#3. When the Healer refuses to heal anymore unless the BRD tanks, as they are better qualified as a better tank then your level 45 DRK, you're doing something wrong.

#4. Don't get pissy when everyone else complains because you couldn't hold aggro if it jumped into your arms. Why the hell do you pull an entire room but only draw aggro on one mob?

#5. If you're running through the entire dungeon and complaining about how it's glitched because all the mobs vanished, and your party is telling you that you are running the way we just came from and you are going teh wrong direction, chances are, they are correct. Don't spend 10 minutes arguing on how they are wrong and you are going the right direction. Moron.

Our Stone Vigil run was finally completed with 17 seconds left on the timer, and to this date, my worst dungeon run. Ever. In any MMO.

I don't know how you did it. I would've bailed.

Honestly the only reason I stuck it out to the end is because the healer was cool and the 2nd dps was trying to gettheir first ever clear of it. I guess they tried once before and never made it thru so, God only knows how bad that run must have been for them.

I won't lie, laziness has definitely been a reason why I've stuck with bad groups. I don't want to have to requeue and reclear stuff. I just figure it better to just suffer through it and be done and away from them. As much as I've complained about groups, I tend to stick around until clear or someone puts up a Vote Abandon. I don't think I've ever ducked out early on a group unless it was for something else.

Amen to that. Even with instant tank queues, it's less stressful for me to put on kiddie gloves and pull like it's 2013 than it is to chew someone out for sucking and/or explode a group with infighting.
