Arashi, while certainly not a fan, can handle herself decently well around advanced technology. The sole exception to this is anything even remotely Allagan.

Interesting night of FFXIV last night. One theme was “Hardcore Players on Parade” — I tanked Strayborough for three folks with fancy “Legend” titles or similar, and it was honestly a pretty bad experience because they were impatient and having a pull finish in 45s rather than a minute threw off all my cooldowns. Then I healed M1N and got seven comms for a solid but unremarkable performance, which I think probably came from a static warming up with one healer missing.

The highlight of the evening, though, was a run of the level 91 dungeon. It was a little sketchy, but generally fine until the final boss, when about halfway through the healer and one DPS died, leaving me (Warrior) with just a Black Mage for support in a fight that’s full of dodging. I kept that mage alive as long as I could with Nascent Flash and Shake It Off, until the poor schlub died of having same-brain with me on a spread marker, then I soloed the last 15-20% of the boss’ health. The party was pleased.
