Xean of course was the one taking the worst of the beating from the NM because he was on his MNK, and in the end he ended up getting killed. We thought it was kind of humorous because everytime we go and do something with the 3 of us, Josudes is always the one dead and as tradition, we always sit on his face and take a screenshot. This time, it was Xean's turn to eat the dirt and have the pleasure of having myself and Josudes sit on his head, mwahaha! Ahh.... that was a good night though. Really reminded me of the good old days back when Josudes, Xean and myself were still lvl 50ish and we'd go and do quests together.
The next day Xean, Alianne and myself tried to take the NM again in hopes of getting his katana, but again no drop. It wasn't until last night that we tried another 2 times, that we got the item. Funny part is that I had gotten a tonberry rattle myself so that we could pop a second time, and it dropped when I made my trade which figures because we all know Xean's luck is non-existent in this game, hehe.
And of course after we got the drop, we decided to seek on our WHM and NIN and hopefully hit 56... unfortunately that did not happen. We got into a pt with a THF, COR, BLM and MNK and headed to Kuftal Tunnel. The MNK was proving to be a problem for Xean, because he was suppose to take the first voke but instead would Chi Blast causing a delay, which of course caused Xean to lose a few shadows that would of otherwise been unecessary. And as time went on, I started to notice that I was having MP issues, which was a little odd considering I didn't have to do much healing, and had good MP+ gear.
Thats when I noticed the COR was only putting one song on us, and often took forever to reapply it. I don't know a lot on COR, but I know that its possible to have 2 songs up for melee and mage after their "cycle" has been started, and so after waiting a bit in case he was just distracted or not realizing.... I said something in party. He got offended and told me to "stfu".
Well I wasn't in the mood for putting up with someone that not only couldn't perform their tasks in party efficiently, but for someone to give me attitude when I hadn't been hostile in the first place really got on my nerves. So me and Xean let him have it, and proceeded to explain to him that he should keep two songs up at all times. We continued, but again, my mp was still suffering (those crabs spam the STR down spell -_-) and Xean continued to ask the COR to help us mages. Finally, he gave us some more attitude and then it lead to an arguement where he tried to tell us he could only have one song on at a time, and that his focus was to be melee first.
. . .
If we had wanted someone to be "melee", a COR is definitely not among the top 3 choices. We could of replaced him with something better, and he didn't seem to realize that his duties for being in an xp party = buff the party. Instead, he felt his priority was to melee and in the end he just kept cussing at us, and we disbanded and left. After that experience, i'm pretty sure that COR will not be among the jobs i'll want to invite because their rolls don't always work out nice, and i'd rather have something that is certain to help the party, instead of chance.
And also earlier in the day, our LS went to help two of our members get their G2 done: Istaro and Onedarkflame. It was fun, but we did get quite a bit of unecessary aggro. It took us about an entire hour to get it done, and the lesson I learned from this is that as RDM, my nukes suck on these guys and its much better to go as my PLD for future runs. I hardly saw the HP bar drop when i'd fire off a nuke ; ;
