I just read this anecdote while someone tried to do T6 today after 2.41.
I'm still interested in the job thing. Now you can't easily make alts either. I know of several people who told me that they didn't do many dungeons to even get close to finish main scenario quests who still got to 50 jobs.
Quote:I just DFed T6 to see how people would handle the mechanics, 6 of us were experienced with the fight, one healer was new and one NIN was new. The healer would run around during blight (and subsequently died even with the nerf to to blight), the NIN ran around as soon as he got honey glazed as if he thought the hornet wouldn't follow him.
This led to me (in my infinite wisdom) trying to follow him (instead of just letting him die and attacking the hornet when he targets someone else) and then I got marked by devour and the MT took the devour because I was way out of position trying to kill the hornet. Oh and I didn't die to the devour, I died before I got devoured because the healer that died from blight never accepted the other healer's raise. NIN also refused to attack the Dark Matter Bulb that spawned in the middle.
