I more so meant how you use the long and shorts mits. Do you only ever have 1 mit up at a time? I typically have a long + a short or 2 shorts up at a time.
I would certainly hope, based on the game knowledge she's expressed over the course of the thread, that she knows exactly how using stuff like Nebula + Heart works.
I basically use heart and aurora every single time off cool down regardless if I have nebula/rampart/camo up.
So like, on the first w2w I'll pop heart and aurora followed by nebula/rampart/camo. I'll pop one and then like when it's 1 second away from expiring I'll pop the next and so on, rotating them.
Usually, a good healer means I don't even have to use anything other than heart. Even better if the dps is also cracked. Things will die before my HP even gets close to half way.
If I have to cycle through more than one of my heavier mits on the first w2w, that's a bad sign.
This is one of my favourite things to do on WHM during a dungeon. Let the tank's HP go so low that their asshole is clenched tightly and they think they're about to die, then hit em with a Benediction for a full heal.

I get to spam Holy more and the tank being nervous is funny.
You asshole, lmao.
But I respect it.

Edit:

@Sheep King I can't join your gay fellowship because aether isn't my home DC.
 
I think the assumption on the Fellowship was that people would make alts for it. If I'm not mistaken, even just a CWLS doesn't function unless you hop over to the DC it's hosted on, though one has to be manually invited to that while both parties are online or whatever.

It's possible to make a message chain here for the purposes of coordinating, but that's so much clunkier than a LS or a server.
 
Are we witnessing the birth of the first(to my knowledge) Kiwi Linkshell?
There was one a ways back when I started all the way in Shadowbringers, but like 3 people total joined or something. It was also on Crystal, if memory serves, which probably contributed to few people being interested. That and people being wary about having their mains exposed alongside the fact that people are broadly antisocial.

More interest existing now might just extend from people being kindof over the game otherwise, so the risk of "exposure" is a question more of "who cares?"

It's why I think you probably need more coordination than just a LS, but it isn't like they're mutually-exclusive. Particularly if the intent is just to find people to do shit with who aren't (that) retarded rather than rolling the bones.

Fellowships, apparently, lack a chat function anyways. Never really used them before, and I guess now I can see why.
So a CWLS is going to be the barebones necessity. The fellowship can be a useful ledger to keep track of people interested, I guess.

jk. I'll throw a vote for TLD in your place.

The idea is anyone can join the fellowship and from there get invited into the super secret Kiwi Linkshell which will probably just be chatting and maybe grouping up for dailies, unless enough people are interested in doing hard content. You can't directly chat on the Fellowship but you can leave comments.

If you want to take part but you're worried about opsec you can join the fellowship on an alt and then ask to add your main to the linkshell so there's nothing connecting your name directly to the Farms.
 
I'll join later today probably. Dun really care about opsec, no matter how much the trannies cope and seethe they can't exactly get me banned, easily, for posting on the farms if I'm not being a shitter in game or calling for TTD.
 
My life for a healer that actually heals me when I W2W as tank in dungeons.
:stress:
I get so many close calls that my clenched asshole gets more of a work out than my legs at work.
Yeah, your health is dropping like a *stone* but the healer is flinging rocks with gusto, so it... all works?

(As the healer swiftcasts your rez that was only necessary because they weren't healing, they die, expecting you to pop right back up and... die saving the DPS, who are running away, and the healer is laying on the floor, and...)

That's about the time I stop, assess whether or not I feel like salvaging this shitshow, and usually just reject the res to respawn at the entrance.

My favorite is when, instead, I choose to salvage, the other DPS and the floortanking healer decide to take their sweet time returning to entrance and running back while I get things back under control, and then they only show up either right when I'm on the verge of dropping or after having dropped a second time. Bonus points when they act smug about it.

Depends for me on how many mobs the healer was themselves pulling, while not healing me.

If i see my healer flinging rocks or lasers at mobs I haven't pulled, and i die... i also reject the rez.

"You wanted us dead, so we're dead."

Yeah, the number of times I've seen the healer go jetting off to grab more shit recently is insane. I get that you want to go as fast as possible buddy but shouldn't you let the tank decide if they feel safe to pull more?
 
I mean, even if the tank literally only presses their AoE1 on repeat, no mits, the healer can keep them up by just spamming their GCD heals outside of something like the gulg pull. Healers have too much juice for 95% of content. Single-pulling requires one of either a healer or a tank, not both.

It's a different story if they do that and then don't pivot to spam-healing (at least, until they note the tank is capable of pressing their mits). In general, if the healer is ahead of the tank, the tank has already made a mistake or pressed sprint at the wrong time.
 
I don't have an issue if I'm tanking and my party members run ahead to pull more. So long as they know to bring them to me, I'll do my job as tank and pull it off them.

If the healer feels that confident in me and themselves then I see no problem. Everything works out.

I'm fine with it as long as the healer actually bothers pulling them towards me.

The number of times I've seen a healer, instead, attempt to kite them and run as far away from me as possible despite pulling makes me want to beat them over the head with a brick. Or, you know, they pull the whole "I'm gonna stand over here at the furthest edge of the room and YOU have to come and pull them off me, k thx" bullshit. Nigger, bring their asses to me.
 
I think once there's a few people in the LS with invite priviliges it becomes a lot smoother of a means to organize, honestly. So it's a bit touch and go just at the moment but sooner or later there will be a reliable-enough chunk to get the ball rolling - and it'll be easier to add people whenever.

Never really DC hopped to aether for much before, and it's surreal to see more people than just me using surecast-arm's length to nullify knockbacks. I don't feel as special anymore.

What about healers who rescue you into a bigger pull? I've had that a couple times and I never know how to react. It's the mix of helplessness, discomfort and role-reversal that you probably feel when your wife of 20 years tells you she wants to be "the man" in bed.

In other healer shenanigans I've had several conversations in PFs the past week of healers arguing over who gets to be H1 or H2. "I only know the one position," "it's bad practice because I play h2 in my static," "don't blame me if we die, I'm being made to play a different spot". I understand if people screw up a few times because of muscle memory, but throwing a shitfit over having to flip a few movements when you're already playing the easiest role just because you can't learn the mechanics properly and adjust is pathetic.
Honestly I'd have less disdain if they admitted they were using a plugin to automate movement and didn't feel like changing the script.

Simple answer? Challenge accepted.

Detailed answer? Monkey brain spergs out aggressively and goes "YOU THINK I CAN'T HANG, BITCH? LEMME SHOW YOUR FAGGOT ASS SOMETHING." I then proceed to W2W everything from that point on. Bonus points if the healer can't keep up despite being a faggot earlier.
