Raid Frustrations and Guild Banter

Using AoE skills back-to-back, I pulled the adds’ agro and chained combos to take them down one by one.

Getting hit by the three adds made my HP fluctuate wildly—it was exhilarating. If the healer slips even once, I’m dead.

The silver lining was that Beta, from our old raid days, reliably healed me through these messes.

Once the adds were down, the healer revived the sub-tank and quickly topped them up.

It felt like a close call, but I couldn’t be sure—frustrating.

[Party/OneHitForTheLord: Ah…]

At the tank swap point, the sub-tank dropped again. That guy’s died five times with the boss at 40% HP.

My blood pressure was rising. If the main tank dies, wipe’s inevitable, so OneHit passed agro to me.

Without a sub-tank, they shifted it to me, the tankiest DPS. Solid call.

Biting my lip at my wavering HP, I chained combos to lock agro, and Beta stopped her casual chatting to focus solely on healing me.

“What a troll… playing like garbage.”

[Party/DontOrderMe: Take agro.]

Confirming the sub-tank’s revive, I typed, but they ignored it, just DPSing.

Trying to make up for lost DPS while dead—annoying. Anyone would think they’re a DPS.

[Party/DontOrderMe: Hey, agro.]

[Party/DontOrderMe: Take it you idiot.]

Right after the swap, the boss’s tank buster hit me, the agro holder.

Even with great gear, as a DPS, I couldn’t tank it—my HP melted, and I died on the spot.

Gear helps, but some things are impossible. Fuming, I slammed my mouse, ruffled my hair, and accepted the revive.

Valhalla’s Wrath lives up to its name—not the boss’s wrath, but the DPS’s.

“Damn it. What a jerk.”

[Guild/DontOrderMe: So pissed.]

[Guild/PotteryMaster: ?? What happened?]

[Guild/OneHitForTheLord: Total troll.]

That explained everything to PotteryMaster, who asked for the troll’s nickname, and I typed it while dodging mechanics. Three consecutive AoEs kept the healers busy.

[Guild/PotteryMaster: Lolol that guy’s a forum regular?]

[Guild/PotteryMaster: Total noob, always on the boards lol.. Why’d you party with him..]

[Guild/Beta: Didn’t know.]

[Guild/PotteryMaster: Beta typing errors lolol must be hectic with a bad tank; impressive you’re chatting.]

A forum regular, huh. No wonder he sucked. Thinking we’d wipe and disband, I kept DPSing when CameToDie typed.

[Party/CameToDie: How many times are you dying?]

[Party/CameToDie: Mana waste on tank revives no.]

[Party/CameToDie: OrderMe, sub-tank please.]

He thinks I’d do better than that guy. Pausing to think, I typed.

[Party/DontOrderMe: Ok.]

I figured I’d handle it better.

Proceeding without reviving the sub-tank, the boss’s HP dropped faster than when they were up.

Saving mana on revives even gave healers time to DPS. Who knew?

Chuckling dryly, I dodged mechanics and admired CameToDie’s intense DPS. This guy’s really good.

A silver lining in the mess. We cleared with the sub-tank down and moved to loot distribution.

[Party/CameToDie: Hold till Karma leaves.]

[Party/CameToDie: You want loot after that? Even Nolbu had more conscience.]

I couldn’t help clapping at CameToDie’s firm words. Totally different from how he talks to me. Fair point—better to give loot to others than a deadweight. But would the tank accept that?

[Party/Karma: Isn’t that too much? Did I want to die?;]

[Party/Karma: You didn’t even revive me;]

[Party/CameToDie: How many times did you die?]

[Party/CameToDie: What’s the point of reviving if you keep dying?]

[Party/CameToDie: Dying this much in an endgame farm raid is impressive;]

[Party/CameToDie: Remember what you did after that revive?]

[Party/CameToDie: You died, DPS took agro, and you passed the tank buster to them lol;]

[Party/Karma: Didn’t know about tank buster;]

[Party/CameToDie: Lololol bragging about not knowing your mechanics? Why join a farm party if you don’t know? Go to beginner or practice parties.]

Fair. The sub-tank, speechless, threatened to report and left the party.

As soon as they vanished, CameToDie thanked the tanks and healers, apologized for the weirdo, and gave all loot to guildmates.

I awkwardly scratched my head, receiving DPS gear.

[Guild/DontOrderMe: Take the DPS gear.]

[Guild/CameToDie: I’ve got gear, it’s fine!]

[Guild/DontOrderMe: Sell it at least…]

[Guild/DontOrderMe: You’ve got a main, right? Give it to them.]

At my firm words, CameToDie went silent. Instead, anger at the troll flooded the chat.

[Guild/Beta: That tank sucked so bad.]

[Guild/Beta: OneHit main tanking was a godsend;;;]

[Guild/OneHitForTheLord: Seeing a tank pass busters to DPS made me lose faith in humanity today.]

[Guild/QuitMyJob: Lolol everyone worked hard, bad luck with that guy ㅠㅠ]

Guildmates popped in one by one, offering condolences. It was tough, especially for healers.

Every time I thought I’d die, perfectly timed heals saved me—I inwardly prayed to gods I don’t believe in.

My HP swinging like waves was chilling. Thinking of the sub-tank who failed their role and dumped agro on DPS made my teeth grind.

[Guild/OneHitForTheLord: Should’ve recorded it.]

[Guild/OneHitForTheLord: Saw him raging as he left, probably posting on forums.]

[Guild/Beta: Lolol tell him to post, acting like that and whining lolol]

[Guild/PotteryMaster: Hear both sides lolol even if he posts, party members will swarm and roast him, 100% backlash. Game on.]

If the sub-tank posts, CameToDie would probably dismantle him. I missed it due to his concept, but his trash talk shows he’s got edge.

I don’t browse forums much, but as the biggest victim of his deaths, I’ll check this out. If it’s nonsense, I’ll roast him.

[Guild/DontOrderMe: Why’s no one talking about CameToDie’s insane DPS?]

[Guild/DontOrderMe: He’s got a main for sure.]

[Guild/Beta: For real, his DPS was crazy.]

[Guild/Beta: What’s your main??]

[Guild/Beta: Revealing nickname might be iffy, but class? …]

Ah, if it’s a secret, it could be awkward. Some guilds ban dual membership. Ours is new, so no restrictions if vibes match, but bigger guilds often do. My old one did.

[Guild/DontOrderMe: No need to say if it’s uncomfortable.]

[Guild/CameToDie: You’re interested in me, SoonToDie? So happy^///^]

[Guild/DontOrderMe: Lol stfu]

This guy’s attention-seeking moments are hilarious. Bursting into laughter, I typed with a soft smile.

[Guild/DontOrderMe: Not that curious.]

[Guild/DontOrderMe: Keep it a secret if you want.]

[Guild/CameToDie: ㅠㅠ]

CameToDie whined about my love cooling, but I ignored it, recruiting a new party. Hope no more trolls this time. I’m a DPS, not a tank.
