Message: [QUOTE="jiyuuboyetsvi, post: 233108, member: 222172"] [USER=58254]@DrunkGecko[/USER] [USER=124861]@Tonberry[/USER] I went to sleep cuz I was sleepy and then forgot about this. i was really busy today x3 😄 So this was in Final Fantasy XIV. I started raiding back in early January of 2016, right when patch 3.2 of Heavensward (HW) came out. This was the patch that introduced Sephirot EX and the second series of Alexander raids, Midas. I was REALLY bad, and I played Dragoon. Back in HW, every class needed a whole ass PhD to play. I ended up coming into contact with the best Dragoon on my server at the time (Coeurl server) and he sat down and watched me do my rotation on the brand new striking dummies. He corrected my form and told me what I was doing wrong. I really appreciate him taking the time to help me, because it made me strive to be better. Alexander Midas was REALLY fucking hard, I think maybe only 2 or 3 groups on my server ever beat the entire tier before Creator, the next tier, came out. My group disbanded for a bit because we were too burnt out to even attempt the final fight of Midas. During that newfound downtime, I spent literally THOUSANDS of hours hitting the striking dummy, practicing my Dragoon. I wanted to be ready for the next and final raid tier of Heavensward. Which I was. When I mean ready, I mean ya girl basically spent 3000 hours worth of time in the hyperbolic time chamber [I][B]TRAINING[/B][/I]. I went through that entire tier and wiped the floor with everyone. Creator was definitely easier than Midas, but our team went from not even having a shot of being near the top, to on course to be server 3rd. We ended up getting a stick stuck in our wheels though when our Astrologian (buff Healer) left our group cuz he was bein a baby. I think we ended up at server 5th or 7th due to him leaving and sticking us with shit pug tier heals as a back up. We were legit on the [I]FINAL mechanic [/I]of the [B][I]FINAL FIGHT.[/I][/B] It was infuriating. My parse logs for that tier are probably some of my best ever for raiding in Final Fantasy XIV. The only reason I didn't get more pinks and oranges was because my team was sandbagging WAY too hard. I remember after patch 3.55b came out, one of my friends (who was also a Dragoon main) asked me to play on his account for him so he could get his weekly raids done while he went on vacation. I agreed. His team was cracked as hell and I ended up getting him the number 1 Dragoon spots for every single fight that week LMAO I took a break during Stormblood. I tried raiding the first tier, but they changed Dragoon so much. I was NOT a fan of the dragon eye stacks and dragon sight or whatever. It was such garbage. Dragoon was not the same anymore, and never would be. I didn't do Kefka's tier, but I did do Omega. I didn't raid all of Shadowbringers due to physical and mental health reasons, but made my comeback during Endwalker. Coincidentally Endwalker was the only expansion where I completed every single raid tier on content. My last raid tier was the first one of Dawntrail. I found it to be REALLY fun even though it was pretty easy, [I]ESPECIALLY[/I] because they had FINALLY made Dragoon more fun to play again.... Until they ruined it again in patch 7.15.... TwT After that I decided fuck this, I'm going to be going to school soon anyway, and I want to focus on my music so I decided to quit, which was honestly the best choice that I could have made. Thank you FFXIV for being there for me when I needed you, because I really did need something to hang onto and keep me going every day. Now it's my turn to turn Heavensward and reach beyond the stars and my limits with my music. Thank you all for reading uwu [/QUOTE]
