The dungeons themselves aren't so bad, it's the dumbasses you get stuck with going full potato on you.

The only dungeons I truly hate are Dzemael, Aurum Vale, and Sastasha HM because of how much hp the last boss has. I'd rather fight a ton of trash with low HP bosses than less trash and high HP bosses :|

I had a brd yelling at me to goad him, because he's too *** stupid to Paeon himself, and notice that I'm spamming monk combos.

That's what I always though the roulette part of the duty roulette was. It's not a gamble of which dungeon you'll get, It's a gamble of if you'll get competent players or not.
By Bloodrose 2015-04-16 11:03:09
I haven't had a lot of trouble with Aurum Vale, in like... Ever. Well, maybe my first time through, but that was a long *** time ago.
Dzemael Darkhold, yeah that one's a ***.
As for Sastasha HM, it wasn't my favorite dungeon either. They recycled the piss out of that one and Captain Madigan or w/e his name was.

^ THIS THIS THIS
I never minded teaching people new to the dungeon how to do it or boss tactics, but it's those that knew but didnt do it or were just elitist *** that got on my nerves.

This is generally true, although the worst players I seem to see end up being the tanks. I've had to pick up the slack more often with tanking and tossing up Fist of the Earth, than I ever had to with DPS because they can't dodge obvious attacks that take a long time to go off

I dunno, keeper of the lake is the real gamble, people dodging on the last boss and the tank not chasing the gunship through the flames. I hate that one. There's also the tanks who will pull the first groups all together and not have the gear to survive it. I've seen PLDs at full health pull and die before I can even cast a cure.

Why I like playing healer.. you can carry a bad group much easier playing healer than you can a dps or tank. Tank less so but still.

Aside from the dungeons I need to do for my Zodiac stage, I also get to recoup my gil loss for doing my Alexandrite infusions and re-infusions to fix it... YIPPEE!
And of course, the prices of the materia would drop after I finish -.-
Which I then get to spend on buying items from vendors for all 4 quest lines.

I almost always heal for roulettes, because I'm geared enough I can usually over cure and compensate for tanks stupidity. On more than one occasion I had a monk pulling all hate and just started curing them instead.
Tank raged and left when he realised he couldn't keep hate. Though the monk having full i130 dreadwyrm h2h etc. really gave him an advantage in the enmity department.

Snowcloak and Keeper of the Lake are my favorite dungeons by far, but there's little to no point in doing Snowcloak anymore.
My Keeper of the Lake runs, while some have been absolutely horrid, I like the zone itself in comparison to Amdapor Keep HM and Wanderer's Palace HM.
My experiences with all 3 expert level dungeons, Amdapor Keep is the one where people *** up the hardest, and most often.
I've had to save the LB to use on the Roegadyne mage thingy because the other DPS/Tank don't give a ***about it, or it's special ability. At this point I see people wiping constantly, leaving, abandoning duty, and cursing the gimps. Then there's the jester where the DPS/Tank don't bother breaking the big slimes (small slimes I don't give a ***about since they can be broken internally), causing a wipe if the tank or healer gets caught in one, or not killing the slimes when he does his encroaching floor AoE. Hell, I've had a bard actually sit in the middle of the aeherial scythe ***.

Was too busy bullshitting with friends over Skype, I even remember saying "ooo look at the pretty scythe" as I sat there.

Dodging isn't quite as easy when I drop to 5fps. :x
First Fenrir I did perfectly, but when I started getting fps drops I died like three times in one fight.

Keeper of the Lake is actually pretty easy, and so are the bosses. But like Drac said, it can suck and seem pretty slow if people suck. You can tell new people what to do very easily, and they'll do it fairly well.
Dodging shouldn't be an issue for people this late in the game, or for these kinds of dungeons, even if they've been carried from level 1 to 135 in gear.

YouTube Video Placeholder
Read a comment for this video...copy/pasted it in the spoiler below, actually kind of interesting.
This song made me thing maybe all fairies have an evil side.... And someone brought up ganondorf not being evil in the comments and that Navi was using link as her own killing machine.... Let's recall the "bad things" ganondorf did
In the land of Hyrule, Ganondorf hoped to bridge positve ties with that of his people, the Gerudos and that of the Hyrulians, however the rascist princess Zelda decided to send her mute and gullible lackey, Link to assasinate him because Ganondorf is black. After Link foolishly sealed himself in a time rift for seven years in an attempt to destroy Ganondorf, the seal to ultimate power, the Triforce, was destroyed. Believing this was the only was his people would be treated respectfully Ganondorf touched the Triforce and wished himself to become King of Hyrule.
Ganondorf reigned successfully for seven years. Using his position of power he exterminated the monster infestation in Hyrule field, eradicated an evil cult known as the Zorans (whom worshipped a giant whale that ate people), closed down a terrorist organisation known as the Gorons whom manufactured bombs and also poached endangered animals known as Dodongos to make fashionable bags, organised a defence force of friendly monsters to protect the orphaned children of the Kokiri forest (whom's guardian, the Deku Tree, had his heart impaled internally buy none other than Link), revived an extinct species of dragon and finally derived an alternate solution to exterminating the monsters of Hyrule by sealing them in a exclusive part of the Kakariko graveyard. However in the second year of his reign Ganondorf was forced to make one of the most difficult decisions of his career. His people, the Gerudos were constantly stealing from the frienly Hyrulians. Occasionally the Gerudos would also kidnap some of the Hyrulians demanding a high ransom for their safe return. Ganondorf to prevent further unwarranted attacks against the Hyrulians, destroyed the bridge separating Hyrule from the Gerudo Valley.
This decision took its toll on the heartbroken Ganondorf and consequently he fell into a sad state of depression. he converted a large amount of his tax funds into constructing and suspending a castle over a giant lake of lave, which symbolised the inner sorrow he felt for having to abandon his people for the good of his country. After entering the castle Ganondorf destroyed the bridge leading to it so that he would never again be called upon to make such a harsh decision. Ganondorf then spent his years of solitude learning to play the organ and he composed some of the finest music ever to come out of Hyrule.
However this peaceful reign was never meant to last as the rascist princess Zelda, immediately sent her lackey, Link, once again to assasinate Ganondorf after he broke free of his seven year seal. By creating disorder amongst the world and undoing most of the good caused by Ganondorf (including killing Ganondorf's resurrected dragon rendering the spcies extinct again), Link and Zelda managed to convince six others to help in their assasination attempt against Ganondorf. These six people mainly agreed for the sole reason that they were fed up with a Black person leading them and they became known as the Six Sages.
Ganondorf learnt of this assasination attempt against him and attempted to difuse the issue by restraining Zelda from using her arcane magic so that the two could talk about their issues. Ganondorf attempted to soothe Zelda's sheer hatred of him by playing some of his famous organ music. Link however, brainwashed by Zelda's preachings, rushed into Ganondorf's castle, via means of a magical bridge created by the Six Sages, rushed into the castle killing most of its occupants until he confronted Ganondorf. With no means to communicate with the brainwashed mute, Ganondorf was forced to resort to violence. Link and Ganondorf fought, however Ganondorf being a peaceful man knew little about fighting (he only knew about three attacks!) was quickly overcome by the battle hardened and corrupted Link. Knowing he was about to die, Ganondorf decided his last act as king would be to destroy the clearly evil princess Zelda and her brainwashed lackey and thus he attempted to destroy his beloved castle in an attempt to crush the pair. However due to sheer brute force through the desecration of the remainder of the castle's occupants, Link and Zelda escaped the crumbling castle.
In a final, last ditch effort to rid the world of evil, Ganondorf forsake his humanity and called upon the gods to grant him strength and Ganondorf transformed into a monstrous form known as Ganon. However this form was still powerless against the crazed maniac Link and his artillery of weapons. With the assistance of Zelda and her kamehameha technique, Link sent Ganondorf to a realm without time and under Zelda's rule, Hyrule became a desolate and barren wasteland of a country.
That Ganondorf was a great leader and all. We snuffed him coz he be Black.

I laid under your umbrella yesterday. I also sat at the desk upstairs. And laid on the cot in the basement. And fired my magitek cannon at your garden. :)
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
