TL;DR, I, a filthy rat, was very toxic to two members of our great community.
Red: Innocent, kind of bad Samurai Green: Isaac Newton's worst enemy Astrologian Blue: That exact Au Ra you've seen a hundred times, you know the one, Dark Knight Yellow and Orange: I don't want to dox the Heaven's Ward
Somehow until this point I'd never encountered one of the infamous tank/healer couples that seem to plague this game, so it's only fitting I'd get a top tier one for my first time. I'm levelling RDM and load into the Vault alongside an AST, DRK and SAM, and I probably should have heeded the very early warning signs. Whatever, I think, at least the DRK is pulling a fair amount and even during that weirdly long period I had aggro I was being healed through it. This positivity lasted for exactly one pack when a few things happened:
1) I died after, again, holding aggro on half of the pack for an extended period of time. 2) I noticed that the healer was doing a grand total of 0 dps (though they did get a bit wild and throw out a single Gravity when there were two enemies left).
I strap myself in at this point, which is good because things went from bad to the Eight Umbral Calamity after the second boss. I die, yet again, despite standing on top of the DRK for the full duration of the pull, leading to us all wiping because apparently 3 enemies was a little bit too much to handle for our pure healer (I noticed a lot of Benefic I and not a lot of anything else.) I complain, and this happens. Okay, whatever, I figure I'll just drag myself through the dungeon so we do the pull before the second boss, I caster LB to make up for the fact we've got the world's biggest Benefic I fan sitting in the corner and... yup, there it was. I had VAASTED the LB and complained about dying three times to the same thing, I was toxic.
The final boss goes about as expected, we wipe because me and the healer aren't healed after a grand total of one mechanic, I continue the lovely conversation and am swiftly removed from the hug house. I sometimes wonder why I play this game.
(Bonus content: I tried to message the healer after the dungeon to explain they should really be more open to advice, in hopes I could maybe save someone else from this fate. I was unable to do it until twenty minutes later because they were still in the instance -- all told the duty took fifty minutes for them, and I received this very nice reply. Somehow they were unable to point out all that bullying I had done. Also, there's this for those that hate themselves.
