I joined an AK as PLD one day.. blm is in darklight staff and okay gear for the instance. The dragoon (his buddy, I found out later) is similarly geared.
I'm Nice Guy Tank so I tank off. I love to chain pull with decently geared groups but I test on the first pack of dogs and I don't like the kill-speed so I pull it normal. It's an annoying thing to pull a bunch and watch how slowly it dies.
Go on up through and to demon wall. Healer falls off first repel, laughs, apologizes, and I just jump off.
BLM self-destructs on the way back. Starts complaining how the paladin isn't doing enough damage (damage, not hate, stuff stays glued to me) and I just start laughing. I tell him just how rich it is when the black mage is complaining about the tank's damage.
I did feel bad for the random white mage who apologized to me after 10 minutes of the blm's griping nonsense, left and ate the penalty timer.

This is the kind of poster they need to ban:
Quote: Tank HP Requirements For Endgame DF Content
While playing my WHM too often will I come across tanks that come into my Duty Finder PUG and believe they are fully capable of clearing the content with ease. MAYBE this is because you, the tank, are used to clearing things with Relic DPS or heals? But when you come to a duty finder to do an instance, ASSUME you will be paired with average gear players with average mental capacities.
One perfect example of what I'm trying to explain is this: A full darklight healer along with half DL DPS and a tank with 4.3k HP enter Wanderer's Palace together.
***This is a 45 minute run at best***
The tonberry king hits for 4k if the dps is smart enough to count 3 at a time. at 4 at a time we wipe, at 3 at a time we most likely wipe without benediction or swift cast. To top it off, the tank wasn't capable of kiting all the tonberries himself. This tank should have farmed CM and Prate more clearly.
Therefore the HP Requirements for TANKS in Duty Finder groups is as follows:
CM & Praetorium: Full AF1 Gear
Wanderers Palace: 4.6k HP
Amdapor Keep: 5.2k HP (6K if you plan to tome farm quicker than WP)
Ifrit: Meh who cares
Garuda: 5.5k HP
Titan: You dont pug Titan, maybe 8K HP
Those are for PUGS only, with a skilled FC or group of friends or even a pug by invite group you can get away with having less hp.
But if you are going to DF tank those dungeons with less than my recommended HP, you're gonna have a bad time. As a healer I usually leave if the tank isn't close to meeting my requirements, because honestly, 15min debuff +25min WP run is WAY better than one 45min WP run that has a chance of dissolving midway.

I laughed hard at 5.2k for AK and 5.5 for Garuda. As far as Garuda, people overvalue HP in place of dodging Slipstreams. If you can dodge slipstreams, garuda is easily tankable with 4.8. I know because I grabbed a group on my sch and the pld's had 4.7 and 4.8, lol.
I remember one of my first AKs, guy commented how cool it was to see the whole group in AF and how cool the cutscenes were because of that and how that's not something you'd get to see in a few weeks.
He was right :(

I made a Whm quit once in a WP. I mean, I thought we were doin' fine. I gauged them on healing me. They were doing great! I pulled the 3 skeletons and 2 tonberries in the Endless Rise... They took hate on Berries, and I got it off them but then they got Stalkered or something like that. They died, I died, but Daus lived. Whm left without a word :o
About a minute later the DF replaced him with a Thyrus +1. Thyrus +1's comment to me by run's end, "You are the easiest WAR to heal that I have ever healed :O!"

I have a question of ethics.
So I meet cute nurses, cna's, clerks, etc a lot. Some harmless flirting happens along the way, but it gets me to kinda miss that first date feeling from time to time. So was thinking maybe I should ask someone out... Problem being that I'm married and have been with the same woman 5+ years now.
I'm not talking actually dating someone. Just that fun flirty nervous first date thing. My wife understands exactly what I mean and is kind of okay with the idea, but she brought up an interesting point.
She said it is mean to the other woman. She said that because I would just be having fun with no further intent, but she would be there possibly expecting things to continue.
So what do you guys think?

End the meal with "I gotta go, mom wants me home by 10. Can you pick up the check?".
Crisis averted.

Flirt with women on webcams. That or get a divorce. But to be honest I wouldn't mess around with any of that will not end well.

edit: tell her to pretend to be someone else and wear a wig.

Solution 1: spice things up with your wife somehow, go on a trip, do something different from the routine of any kind
Solution 2: if both are ok with it, take some time off the relationship to fool around and see how that goes
2.1: if you're into it can just be an open couple(not a thing for everyone)
Solution 3: just fool around on the internet, it's less interesting but potentially addicting, I wouldn't really advice this one...

My wife and I go out on dates together quite often. Don't get me wrong I love her, and she is actually okay with the whole idea.
As for pretending to be other people 1) we both suck at role playing 2) it takes that newness fun out of it.

Be willing to be cruel then. See how it makes you feel. If you're ok with it, then get as much of that feeling as you want. If you turn out to feel disgusted with yourself, then stop doing it.

---
EDIT: Since you said all that, I'd suggest just looking into ways you two can do that together. Or like I said, make it quite clear to the other parties involved that it isn't leading anywhere and that you're married. Explain the situation. Are you sure jealousy won't come back to haunt you guys? Or feeling uncomfortable? Is it worth making the one you've committed to feel that way if it is a possibility, over something like feeling flirtatious? You can find new things to do. It's just things you should really discuss with her and make things clear.

Have your wife start a webcam to make a little extra money on the side.
I could always role play with your wife for purely educational reasons.

Before you get a divorce cheat on her with her best friend.
Then go on Jerry Springer and have a good time.

Finding out what to do should be part of the fun, experiment through all your ideas.
Just a word of warning, when you play around with your feelings, don`t expect to stay in controle of yourself in all situations.

Random thoughts:
Sounds like part of this concern is that you might be operating under the presumption that the women aren't aware you are married. They very well could have identified your band and see you as safe.
It also sounds like your wife is understanding because she might be a flirt as well, and appears to have shot down some males who attempted to pursue further than they should have... hey you never know.
After all we as men tend to be stupider than women when it comes to these things... for instance, you've actually thought about asking one of these women out.
You shouldn't ask any of them out, but maybe see if the wife is open to the idea of role playing the first date experience as one of these women you seem to have a desire for.

I'd like to see Dear Abby give better advice than strangers on the internet.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
