Wormeh! Congratulations on torque, Mikeh. (lootwhore of teh munth. – spelling intentional.)
So, people were logging off tonight to goto sleep, we were down to about 7 people online – then low and behold Tiamat pops. I’m standing in my Mog House changing to my tank gear (as I’ve dipped my foot in the tanking waters by playing with Sandworm and Guivre earlier in the day so I was feeling oh so confident). Exit Mog House, and Kamery shoots me a Teleport-Mea. We arrive to Tahrongi Canyon. As I enter the Maze I rest up for an entire minute and 20 seconds to max out Swift Shoes. A tank and WHM from another Linkshell runs past me, but I keep healing… I’m smart, yasee! So as I get into Attowah Chasm, I over-take said tank, and when I get about 15 paces ahead of him with my Wlegs and maxed Swift Shoes… some how he starts darting up behind me, almost overtaking me. I’d love to know how that happens (no, it wasn’t powder boots.)
Answers on a postcard, please!
I finally get to Tiamat and realise I’m missing a couple pieces of my Mdef gear and haste gear. Not good. I’m taking more damage in the air then I would have liked, which was causing me to use up more MP than I was recovering. You have to keep in mind that the first time I’d ever tanked anything, ever, was earlier in the day – and that was Sandworm/Guivre! – This puppy (for me) was a whole new leauge. Luckily one of our experienced tanks logs in – takes over. I get on BLM and the real fun begins.
4 BLM, 2 PLD , 2RDM, 1 WHM, 1 BRD and 3 hours later, we have a Behemoth Hide for our troubles.
I learned today that tanking on RDM isn’t as difficult as I thought it would be – though I need to work a little on my enmity gear to better spike hate at the start of a fight. It’s not exactly easy with Guivre as he runs away every 10 seconds. More about that on my blog though.
Congratulations to Mikeh on Black Tathlum, bank won the Zahak’s mail.
Gendo won Hrotti, congratulations to the floor on A.Hands.
Killed 3 Tinnin’s and 4 Redolents. No good drops, though we did get a Fang, which will either go towards an attempt at PW or a Yagrush, decisions decisions.
