Short story: Tilk and Secret are idiots.
Long story:
Went on yet another Promyvion Holla tonight (I haven't kept count of how many I've done, but goddamn it's adding up). We had a two-party alliance of people who had pretty good attitudes and seemed to know what they were doing. In my party, we had a WAR/NIN called Secret. The infamous Tilk was in the other party as WAR/NIN.
Dellionhart, who's a lot more patient than I am, pulled the alliance together and gave a detailed description of what to bring and what the BC fight would be like, as well as what to do to get to next floor, etc. Repeatedly. In Jeuno, before we left, so everyone could stock up on potions, etc.
Everything is going well until we get to the second floor teleport. After we kill the receptacle, while killing the remaining strays, out of nowhere, Tilk uses his two-hour. When we get to the next floor and rest up, people start asking him why he did that. His answer? "Because I felt like it." People in his party start getting annoyed. He gets huffy and tells everyone to lay off. People explain that his party will need his two-hour in the burning circle fight. It comes out that Tilk had managed to miss the fact that there is a burning circle fight at the end. But, he tells us, it'll be an easy fight and anyway his Mighty Strikes wouldn't make a difference anyway.
We keep moving and find the receptacle in the third floor. We agree that I will pull strays to camp. I pull a few, and out of nowhere, Tilk starts running up to the receptacle and pulling more. Besides the fact that he's pulling when someone else was, he's getting hit with Empty Seed--because he's running right up to the receptacle and shooting the strays, instead of, you know, SHOOTING FROM A FUCKING DISTANCE like the rest of us humans do-- (making more work for the mages), and getting aggro or links on just about every pull he makes. But he keeps on bringing them to camp. Like I said before, the rest of the parties were pretty good so we handled them ok. But he just keeps and keeps on pulling, no matter how much the rest of us are yelling at him to stop (and not responding to us in any way). We were fighting three or four strays at a time (and this is in the last teleport, so the fucking things actually take time to kill). I had long since stopped pulling and the the rest of us melees were scrambling to kill all the strays Tilk was pulling. Tilk, if you had been in a party of mine, I would have booted you and let your sorry ass die.
We get to burning circle. Here we have another hissyfit from Tilk because another party member mentioned he seemed different (more careless) than when they partied before. Tilk, I kid you not, blists someone in his own party right before BC. The rest of the alliance eventually persuaded him to undo it, for obvious reasons.
In the meantime, the party I'm in gets ready. We get voke order worked out, Dellionhart once again explains about poison potions, etc. My party goes in. We get all our buffs, food, etc., up, mages are resting MP before we start fighting, and Secret just now decides to mention he doesn't have his two-hour for another half hour. We decide to give it a try anyway. Our voke setup is: 1st blink tank -> me -> Secret. We're doing ok, though Secret's vokes seem a bit off, chipping away at the mob's health. He (the mob) is getting down there and other blink tank and I use Mighty Strikes. First tank is getting hit pretty hard, I use voke but the mob won't stick to me, keeps going back to first tank. Then we notice Secret isn't voking. Because he got slept. Because he somehow managed to miss the whole lecture about the poison potions. I guess when he saw the rest of us poisoning ourselves he figured it was just something we do for fun. First tank dies. Now it's just me for tanking because Secret is still snoozing away, as he would remain for most of the fight. The RNG is still up and shooting away, and I'm voking like a motherfucker to keep the mob from chomping the RNG and mages. He keeps cursing me and using life drain. I had holy waters so the cursing wasn't bad. But this guy hits hard. I keep using hi-potions, and notice the WHM isn't healing me. I died, of course, and then so did RNG and WHM (who for some reason decided to sit and heal MP when we were telling her to get out). SMN (Dellionhart) was able to get out.
I went through ten hi-potions in quick succession when it was just me tanking. TEN. FUCKING. HI-POTIONS. Which I wouldn't mind, except it was because the WHM wasn't healing me. She threw me two measly cures in that whole time. Her reasoning? "I can't heal you guys when you run out my range!" Well, you fucking have legs, don't you? If the mob is on the other side of the room because one tank is dead, another is useless, and the third is trying to keep it from killing the RNG, you walk a few feet towards them and CURE.
Oh, and Tilk? I heard you refused to voke and screwed your party over. Nice work, dumbass.

, if you'll remember I was kind of iffy on having him there, though several people said he's not too bad to PT with (I'd never been in PT with guy). Dear god what an annoying POS.
