More like, if he had stayed, you wouldn't have cleared.

Venting at Zurvan EX pugs.

Somehow, people manage to run a one tank, one healer, six dps party, and STILL manage to not be able to skip first Soar.

Seriously phase 1 might as well be a training dummy for how few mechanics dps have to do, at this point, people just don't know how to play their job.

TIL that my DRG's doom spike is strong enough aoe damage to pull aoe threat from a DRK.... across three different dungeons and three different DRKs.

God tier DRG looking for Savage/EX static. PST

Soooo, ran into this today. It extended to a full other page and only ended because we finished the trial but fucking hell... WHY?

LMAOOOOOOOOO That PLD knew what they were doing.

He was also either clicking the same move a couple times to get it to "register" or he was royally screwing up his rotations.

... I'm also disappointed there were no major cooldowns in there. Not even... what's it called again? Fight or Flight? The damage boost.

Well, there was the Stone Vigil run I ended up on with an ilvl 15 tank. Even more bizarre, they didn't seem to have their normal leveling gear anywhere on them. After getting nearly instagibbed and wiping us twice, they slunk off. Party Finder took pity on us and gave us an ilvl 260 tank after that. Stark contrast.

Then there was the Dun Scaith run my poor tank friend's UI wigged out on. Any and all text just up and vanished for him the second combat started, boss attacks included. We survived the run just fine, but the poor guy couldn't even read all the angry messages the other tanks were flinging his way in alliance chat.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the PLD was just mashing their keys to make sure the move came out, since I do that too, but christ. Fracture? No Goring Blades?

Basically what Ferus said - I'm just as appalled by his rotation as I am by the fact that he macroed literally everything.

My small pet peeve is when you create a 'Clear' Party for an Extreme and in the description it says Know up to 20% of the Bosses HP only to find out when you get into the Extreme there are people who can't even get past the first 10% of the bosses HP. Please read! 

I'm super cool with mistakes occurring when your in a 'Learning' Party, but when you've been trying to clear something for four weeks so you can join farm groups who clearly state 'No Bonus' its irking. #Rant Over.

Reminds me of T5 parties asking people to know past divebombs and having no clue where to stack for them.

You mean those aren't parties to get people who know the fight just so they can carry you through them?


RE: The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales - Warren Castille - 02-08-2017

Not gonna lie: My first T5 clear was one I lied to get into, back before the new bonus was a notification.

In my defense, I'd wiped repeatedly to the final phase before and had actually seen everything up to a kill, but the fact remains I joined a farm party and dinged my achievement in it.

The leader called me out on it afterwards. It was the most "disappointed father" I've ever gotten in an MMO.
