Sooner than expected
When I finished my homam armour set I considered cutting back on Limbus. I decided while sometimes Limbus can be a drag I would continue, because when it goes smoothly it can still be exciting. It just so happened that when I posted that I wanted to cut back and slowly phase Limbus out of my schedule I worked late two Tuesdays in a row. By the time I got home I was too tired to play, so it may have looked like I was starting to cut back to someone who reads this often even though that was not my intention.
Fastforward to this Tuesday, everything is going like normal. I made the parties as quickly as possible after Einherjar. Some off to Temenos and others to Apollyon. My Temenos group was doing the east path. A nice easy one with far more people than we needed and a stun for astral flow. There was nothing else we needed. Everything would be fine.
Shiva plays jack-in-the-box with us to our dismay. The ninja goes down to an unfortunate blizzard IV. Not a big deal the next person with hate has utsusemi and can tank. Wait, the next two people on the hate list do not have utsusemi and I have to waste my mp keeping them alive. Shiva readies diamond dust. Guillotine! Gekko! Induration! Shiva has recovered 250 hit points (or something like that). Oh, only two or three of us are alive now, but Shiva is at 4% and I am almost out of mp. I chainspell thunder III, but it turns out I do not have enough mp for a follow up spell, not even bio. I die and Shiva goes off to chase the people who reraised. We wipe. Everyone but two of us are dead where Shiva is hanging out and I am the only one alive and without chainspell.
That was the run. The most pathetic I have been a part of since I started Limbus. People pulling hate without utsusemi and without seigan, not stunning astral flow on a run they have done before. I'm tired of it. Do they not realize everyone is expected to tank in Limbus and samurai sub doesn't cut it? Do I really have to tell people their job for two year old content? If I could find a way to micromanage anymore than I already do I am pretty sure I would. I am taking a break. Maybe I will be back when I finish dancer.
