A 72 pick-up Whitemage that joined our ENM Promyvion runs
WHM /tell >>> <me> (PLD) "hey wut lvl is ur nin"
CTRL+R >>> WHM "Like... 6. Why?"
WHM /tell >>> <me> "nin tank is better"
CTRL+R >>> WHM "I'm sorry you feel that way."
The Gathering of the party in Ru'lude Gardens to Teleport (keep in mind, this WHM is NOT the party leader)
Party chatmode:
Leader: Okay, when everyone's ready, meet in Ru'lude
Me: Okay, almost done buying items, then I need to go get signet and a Reraise scroll
WHM: wut u need reraise for?
Me: ...
SMN: I'm buying items
WHM: PLD and SMN come to {Ru'Lude Gardens} <call1>
Me: I'm getting signet...
WHM: <call1>
*I arrive in Rulude finally*
Leader: SMN, please come to Ru'lude gardens before we kill each other (meaning the WHM)
WHM *Oblivious to leader's jab*
In Promyvion:
WHM: BLM don't cast ice spells
Me: Why can't he cast ice spells?
WHM: cuz i going to cast {Barblizzara} and {Barparalyzra}
*In linkshell with my in-party BLM friend*
Me: Does that make your ice spells suddenly suck?
BLM: *Shrug*
At the memory receptacle:
ME: *Provoke Stray* , *run up and hit next stray* *EVERYONE gets hit by the pitifully weak AOE because we're on the short-side where we aren't blown backward into aggro*
ME: *Cure II! (Party member)* *Cure 1 (Party Member)*
WHM: *Not casting cures of any kind for 90 percent of the battle*
*After Warp*
WHM: PLD don't stand so close to MR, you get hit by AOE
Everyone Else: *ignore*
At "The Fence Level" in Promyvion Holla:
Leader: WHM, please stand back (with the party)
WHM: *La di dah di dah run around*
RNG: WHM, stay back
*WHM gets aggro, which quickly turns into 3 aggros (Wanderers)*
*WHM whips out his club, and proceeds to melee....*
*I'm playing Whitemage this battle, expending all my MP on cures (To the rangers mostly... I miss flash) in between provokes. All my hate tools are now gone.*
*WHM casts Curaga or something (Not Benediction) that rips hate away from even the Rangers. Nobody can get back hate*
*WHM's HP drops into double-digit red.*
*I use "Invincible", and I get back hate long enough for everyone to kill it with nobody dying*
WHM: ... >_>
ME: I had no MP left, and no hate-tools left. You were going to die.
WHM: no. I had echo drops.
(ME: .oO(?!?!?!?!))
Further on in Promyvion:
WHM: Where is the MR located?
Party: *Ignore*
WHM: Where is the MR located?
*WHM runs around, seeming to follow one of the RNGs*
RNG: Stay back WHM
In the Spire:
WHM: ok BLM don't use ice magic, *blahblahblah*
BLM: I can take care of myself, WHM.
In the Bossfight:
Miraculously, he actually casts stuff >_< . He got off a cursna when I needed it, and cast cure. Where was all this during Floors 1-4?!?. It was high powered cures (Like, 3) however, which made hate keeping more of a chore than it needed to be :/
Still, I was glad I packed a bunch of hi-potions and Yagudo Drink.
Afterwards:
WHM: I have to go, we're doing a tour of Sky
/linkshell: Me: YES!
*WHM disbands*
Leader: Okay that WHM sucked.
Me: Agreed >_<
Party: various statements of agreement.
In conclusion: Don't be that guy, I don't ever want to hear/see a WHM do any of those things again. Especially not from a 72 Whitemage for crying out loud.
(PS: I don't mind WHMs (or any mage class) melee-ing if the monster's AOE isn't crippling, but not at the expense of the job's spells.)
