I also did roulette (just the low level one) recently. Skipped cutscene, popped Protect and waited for the PLD tank to move. Standard stuff. But then he just... stood there. He moved after a few seconds and proceeds to attack. No shield lob, no flash--so naturally things started to come for me. The NIN and BRD told him nicely he should use Flash when he can (and in proximity of the mobs). We move on, he uses Flash out of sight of the mobs, still hasn't used shield lob.. I figured he's either lagging or he's pretty new, so I just /cheered him on when the NIN and BRD scolded(?) him again. Plus he wasn't talking at all so maaaybe he was feeling embarrassed?
Bottomline is, I gave him the benefit of the doubt all throughout the dungeon even if he still used Flash in front of walls and inanimate objects. The other two left without another word and I was left with this guy. The only thing he said was "Have what do".
And then he left the instance.
What?
(also i'm sorry i don't have anything to vent?? is this already off-topic??)
Possibly didn't speak English? I've heard horror stories of people getting into dungeons with gladiators and paladins without shields even EQUIPPED, let alone not using Shield Lob. There really needs to be a firmer hand where the game tells you to go do your class quests. My MRD is 27 from 1.0's time, and before taking I did exactly one dungeon on it before realizing I didn't have Tomahawk. Whoops.
Different gripe: NIN is 43 and I'm trying to push it to 44 so I can at least try to benefit from my inevitable DZ spam for Zodiac. Of course I get Ifrit.
Of course it's with a minimum-level gladiator and with another ninja.
OF COURSE the other ninja doesn't attack the nail and we wipe to inferno.
OF COURSE COMPLETION LEAVES ME 2/3 TO LEVEL.
Whine whine whine. My life is so hard you guys. So hard.
