>be me, trying to get mentor roulette mount
>probably do about 20 roulettes over the past 4-5 days
>every 3rd or 4th roulette puts me into Hell's Lid
>always the same place
>first pulls cleared
>first boss has been engaged at least once
>something went sideways and tank died
>healer either DC'd or left
>two dps just standing around with nothing to do because no tank and no heals
most of the time a healer ends up queuing in, but there was one time that me, a rdm and a sam trio'd the entire place. drk and rdm heals too good. i do not understand wtf is up with Hell's Lid but it seems to be the AV of Stormblood so far.
>running level 70 roulette with a friend
>decide to take a break from our usual and he goes on tank while i'm on heals
>get skalla
>sweet, friend needs the card from there anyway
>mnk and drg for dps
>group pulling like normal, but things are taking a bit to die
>start watching the mnk and the drg
>neither seem to know how to aoe effectively
>neither seem to be using goad on the other
>both are bottoming out on tp
>pulls are taking forever to die
>tank buddy and i are running out of tricks up our sleeves, but we manage to get to first boss
>first boss dies no prob, do second set of pulls
>not too rough, but again notice a distinct lack of goads. maybe they used invigorate, but it was hard to tell for sure
>second set of pulls before boss shit goes sideways
>both dps die twice and tank friend dies twice
>i kite like a madman until everyone gets back and we bring them down
>during my kite i killed 4 nearly-dead mobs with a combination of instant aoes and tab-dotting
>same thing happened, shit just didn't die and tank friend and i run out of cooldowns and tricks to keep him alive
>make it to boss, tank friend runs in
>i follow, get ready to heal
>mnk and drg just standing outside, like they're protesting or some shit
>try to rescue mnk in, but he's not in combat so it just "misses"
>get locked in with tank friend
>die to self-destruct
>lol cute, the dps think they're not replaceable
>kick mnk and drg
>immediately filled by another drg and a smn
>proceed through rest of the instance without issue
>card drops for me but not for friend
>take a screenshot of me discarding the card and send it to tank friend
>didn't even sell it for mgp, just threw it away
my friend is obsessed with collecting all the cards for triple triad, so the FC has made it something of a ritual to take a series of pictures or a short vid of us discarding cards that he wants and sending the evidence to him.

>get into last phase after he eats us
>ozma goes square
>tank continues to stand with group
>group starts to scatter, but dice come out
>fuck it, ive got rescue, i'll move the fucking tank myself
>run a bit away opposite of the rest of the group and rescue the tank
>tank slides over about 90% of the way and then falls to his death
>turns out the line between him and me barely went over a small gap between the main platform and where i was standing
>uh, oops
>a least now i know how i can punish insolent dps when im in wiping city
