I'm bad. I know I'm bad. But I'm bad because I'm kinda new. So let me share a story with you.
I haven't played in a year, mostly because my FC stopped doing stuff so I wandered to other games. But I heard about the Ninja job and thought it sounded like fun, so I came back two weeks ago to try it out. I level to 50 in about a week, and start reading guides for each new dungeon I've never done before so I'm at least FAMILIAR with the mechanics. I don't expect to do wonderfully, because being in the fight is different than reading/watching it, and most people speed run this stuff anyway, so how bad could it be?
My first time in the Hard Mode Tam-Tara, I tell everyone I'm new, and the Black Mage and the White Mage are like, "yay bonus tomes!"Â The tank, a Paladin, was a big turd and was just very surly "oh great"
Massive pulls and stuff. I don't really know what to do in massive pulls as a ninja other than spam death blossom and use my group ninja maneuvers every 20 seconds. The BLM had crazy gear and was obviously doing the most work, so the tank grumbles a "contribute, jojo or we kick". Which got a "O.o" from the healer.
The WHM explains each boss, and I think I do okay. I keep my DoTs up, I use my debuff so its always up, when Sneak Attack is off cooldown I do that crazy water splashie move, and I keep my haste buff up.
"lol what a noob" from the tank and we continue.Â
Then I die on the second boss, because those AoE tracks everywhere are crazy, but I get rezzed, boss dies, everyones happy.
"Im not pulling anymore until we kick the nin."
The seemingly cool WHM and BLM agree and I get kicked.
Some people are turds.
