Who's ready for another horror story from good ol' Catboy Hideo Kojima? I thought so.
Today I had a SMN in Sohr Kai and a DRG as my DPS. DRG is new, no problem, and SMN has an i240 relic. "Okay", I says to myself, "Gotta teach DRG, best go slow with the pulls, and we'll have no problems."
Not 5 seconds into the second pull, we have a problem. For some reason, the aggro is being ripped off me. I think, "Maybe i'm just bad at the gameMaybe it's just SMN parsing really well. I have an i230 PLD sword and shield, but meh, i'll compensate with more Flashes."
By the last pull before the first boss, it becomes obvious this is not working, and it's at this point I realize HE'S USING TITAN EGI.
FUCKING TITAN EGI.
So, I tell him not to use Titan Egi. His response is "dude just play ur classs [sic]".Â
I inform him that I cannot because he's ripping aggro off me. I tell him to use Ifrit Egi for Bosses, and Garuda Egi for mobs. He rolls his eyes and politely tells me "yea ok tell me how to use smn master [sic]".
My response is that my alt is a level 60 SMN, which seems to shut him up.
We go to the boss, he summons Garuda Egi. "UGH", I think to myself, but I go ahead with the boss battle, and I learn how it's possible for a BiS SMN to parse less than a PLD. We go to the next set of pulls, and he summons Ifrit Egi to deal with them, which you'll notice is the exact opposite of what I asked him. He even throws out Titan Egi AGAINÂ during one of my pulls just to fuck with me.
By the next boss, I understand what this fucker is doing when he summons Garuda Egi again to deal with a boss: he's intentionally doing the exact opposite of what I'm asking him. We kill the boss without too much of a hitch despite his best attempts to fuck with me, and I call up a votekick for harassment. He's gone in seconds. Glad to know I wasn't the only one who thought this was bullshit.
