Thanks for the "head's up" for something that didn't happen, I guess?

Not a very exciting one, just someone with provoke war trauma jumping to conclusions and not admitting to that. Steroid goblin fight in Alexander which has a tank swap, which the OT correctly pulled off (I was MT). He was standing where most OTs typically stand, so there was nothing wrong with his positioning, just a slight turn of the boss for the one swap.

This was intentional tank to tank communication and this one guy claimed to be aware of it but still decided to call out what it isn't lmao

"worst tank na"

I already logged off so unfortunately I have no screenshots but it wouldn't have explained much anyway because the title comment was at the very end of the dungeon. I can offer a recap of what happened that probably prompted this response.

I was the tank, DRK. Going for the tank mount, and DT relic grind. I get Amdapor Keep Hard. We get a sprout WHM (chill), a returner DRG (complainer), and I don't remember what the third guy was, either also a sprout or no icon, but he was also chill either way.

We wipe during the pull right after the first wall at the very start, me having popped LD with a macro that lets the healer know. I couldn't die in time (I think I popped it too early because I overestimated the damage, it happens), it ran out right as my HP was dipping into single digits, so we wipe. The healer apologized for being a new healer tending to a DRK, I said it was all good, and they make a comment about LD being funny, which honestly kudos to them for noticing it at all because way too many healers ignore my macro completely (it has a soundbite!) and heal me through it anyway, so this healer gets points for that. They get even more points for listening when I noticed the Freecure buff and I'd pointed out the need to switch to Cure II exclusively. All around good healer!

When we wiped that first time, the DRG asked what had happened. I explained that I just didn't die in time when my invuln went off. They said nothing.

First boss, we wipe again because the boogeyman adds overwhelmed us while we were trying to get the boss out of hiding. This was partly on me for not grabbing aggro in time, but also because the healer died first and I learned in that moment that I ran out of Phoenix Downs (and said as much in the chat). DRG once again asks what the problem is and I said we're fine, ARR mechanics are just weird (which admittedly might've been a bit dismissive on my part?). We clear the second time.

Everything else proceeds smoothly, I pull everything, no one dies, healer has a good sense of humor about everything, and even the other DPS made some lighthearted jokes about the dungeon.

Final boss, Fhirdiad, went smoothly, up until the very end where he had the DRG trapped *and* had a scythe spawned on top of him in the same place. We try to save him but he dies to the continuous scythe damage, and I comment that that placement was really unlucky. He says nothing.

Once the boss dies, the DRG makes the title comment and leaves.

I got 2 comms.
