If you just play the game to have fun then mentor roulette is basically like choosing the randomize option for all the content in the game, but it's randomized with sprouts in the party. Of course those sprouts could just be experienced players on alt characters so it's not as bad as you would think. If your goal is to get the 2000 runs completed as quickly as possible then yeah you might rip your hair out if you get beginners in an extreme trial. I always play for fun personally tho

Normally Gaius dies too fast so a melee limit break won't get full value on him/you won't get to spend it after his ultimate attack, so it's better spent by a ranged or mage dps to burst down 2 of the clones to speed things up, and that's why I usually comm players who do that tl;dr autistic minmaxing in extremely casual content tickles my brain

Nothing more amazing than getting an extreme trial for mentor roullette and during the 30 minutes plus that they were qued up none of the sprouts bothered to learn a single thing 100% blind.

nothing, that's what you're supposed to do because even if you bring him to 0.1% Gaius will do the split mechanic, and by the time he comes back he's usually already dead before you can melee lb him, so melee lb is a waste and should be used on range/mage to speed up adds

Yeah, you tend to run into some more... special characters in Mentor Roulette, even in regular levelling dungeons - and I don't mean sprouts, usually the worst ones are non sprouts or crafting mentors I have a tinfoil hat theory that the game has a shadow list of players that are abnormally bad at the game and put them on priority for mentors to queue into, so they don't pollute the regular roulettes as often

Surprised to see a fellow warrior who still has the third hotbar as click only! Honestly I really need to bind it to something, I've just been lazy. Usually clicking works for me but every now and then I have those moments during raids where I'm moving my mouse back and forth and back and forth and unfocusing my eyes trying to find it on the screen before a tankbuster or something and I know I've gotta map it to something *eventually*

pure madness

The one where the creatures are released. I will stand off to one at the front for that line marker. That way the healer or both dps can use the back area to to spread out a bit better. Given the proper angle it won't cross or hit anything.

On EX it was ARR mostly, though I had some STB and HW EX, but like 10 or 15 out of the 2000 runs. Was fun and I encoutered some cool people - mentors and sprouts, and I managed to help but got helped too !

11:30 Lol this was me during my first run of this raid. I tried to read the debuff status but then the boss initiated a cutscene, when the cutscene was over I didn't have enough time to re-read it. Then on the 2nd time I misread it.

I remember once I was in a high level dungeon around the time Stormblood was the latest patch, I think Kugane castle. I asked the tank why they kept pulling out of my Doton, and they had no idea what that was. I said “The spinning dirt pile???” And they said they thought that was a new AOE. I responded, “My god, how have you gotten that far and never seen a ninja throw down a Doton????” I have had mentor since it became a thing and now I am just numb to the stupid LOL.

As someone who has played alot of ninja lately i feel the pain of tanks that avoid my doton like the plague.

back when I mained ninja (stormblood or something) I took a moment with my pocket tank friend to show that Doton is a safe AoE to stand in and would prefer that way too.
