As to the 5-1 thing... yup that guy was an idiot. Last time I did 5-1 we did it BRD/RDM, 2xWHM/NIN and won just fine ^^ Odd setups ftw. I have seen some pretty impressive sleeps against undeads (and bats) from RDMs. Although it's nothing near BRD's ability it can be done but I've only really seen it in endgame scenarios. We've got this one sick RDM in our Dynamis shell with his Enfeebling around 340 or some crazy number. He would always say not to expect his sleeps to land but he would land them about 80% of the time on things that are normally only BRD sleepable. Wish I could sleep Aerns with that kinda accuracy ; ;

As to Taru tanks... I actually prefer Taru PLDs because they can last forever. The only time I don't love taru tanks is when fighting something like Spiders (Sickle Slash) or even Dhalmels (Stomping or whatever). Hell, I'm a taru BRD and I tank gods and HNMs lol.


Recent fun with Bune ^^


As for my own story. I was climbing Promyvion ... again (part of the pre-req for doing Apocolypse Nigh at the end of CoP). Some people joined us and were completely naked. When questioned they asked why they even needed gear... ... ...

Sad part is, one has 3 75s and the other has 5 75s. They are both horrible leeches with awful reputations and I'm not sure why they were even allowed to come.

Not so much a funny noob story as a rant. /shrug
