The funny thing with A11 is that I missed the first week of Creator cause of an on-going government audit at my company so my stress and anxiety was through the roof and I couldn't deal with pugging. Anyway, the videos I saw didn't cover everything but...
A11's don't-stand-there-AoE-time!!! mechanics aren't new. It took 2 runs/wipes for me to realize that the non-standard glowing red symbol was yes an actual problem but it's just like Shiva's which were JUST LIKE TITAN's bombs. They blow up in order. So... go to the last one to be safe and then move to the free spot??? Osric and I went both new, didn't have time to really watch a vid as thoroughly as would have preferred... We got a comment of "best newbies ever" at one point. We ended up wiping once or twice but since it was the second week people didn't care as much.
And then last night Osric jinxed me when I was going into Trials roulette for Second Chance points. Got Chrysalis. Second chance yay! osric says I'll wipe 10 times. 2 bards, 1 blm, 1 monk. We wiped once because no one LB'd the tear (or even hit it except for when I tomahawk'd it a bit cause I was TAKING COMETS).
Explain after wipe: Gotta lb the tear asap, focus on the tear killing it.
Everyone expected monk to lb. Last second a bard realizes that monk is not LBing so they try but comets and wipe.
I say:
[18:02](Kage Kiryuu) Monk-name!
[18:02](a healer) ur supposed to lbit as soon as it appears
[18:02](Kage Kiryuu) Why are you in first of earth
[18:03](Kage Kiryuu) also you are the best to lmit break
Then I notice that there's only the monk, myself and another dps left so I leave as well.
Re-queue, Chrysalis again, Monk again! I don't say anything to the monk but there's now a dragoon too so I plead, "for love of all that is holy please lb the tear."
A Tank and healer joke "Oh sure you mean don't kill the tear?" "Oh ok healer limit break right?"
I notice, again, Monk still has fists of earth.
18:06](Kage Kiryuu) monk-name you're still in fist of earth
[18:07](other tank) MNK tank lol
[18:07](Monk-name) if u see im the only one not synchronise
[18:07](Monk-name) I just pop lv 50 so stfu retard
[18:08](a healer) Woah now. No need for -that- language!
[18:08](a dps) Seriously, don't be a prick.
[18:08](other tank) Damn, you should rename yourself Morton Salt'factory
[18:09](Kage Kiryuu) It's ok. He's made cause 5/8 people left the last chrysalis after two wipes.
A) You never asked for help and we also explained it? b) Fists of Fire and Fists of Earth are not level 50?? Fists of Fire is lvl 40? C) Someone went from 0 to fucking 100 real fast.
