This reminds me of my one experience with the infamous Lizy. I was in a pt I'd created in the Valkurm dunes, and needed a 6th member. Lacking a puller, I grabbed a lvl 15 thf, Lizy.
Now I will give Lizy credit in that s/he was very quick on the pull, and had lots of chains. In fact as much as I hate to admit it, s/he opened a door in my strategic thinking which accomodated for chain pulling. And pt's I've run have been far better for it.
The problem was, Lizy paid very little heed to how well medded the mages were, and managed to pull something before we were ready. I think it was a Leecher, but I don't remember clearly
Now, had we been able to pull off any renkei's, we would probably have survived this fight. But the problem was, Lizy was terrible at performing ws on time. In fact most of the time, regardless of how obvious others' ws macro's made it that they were setting up for skillchain, lizy generally never noticed it was his/her turn, and then ******* at us at the end of the battle.
At the end of the fight, in which myself and two other ppl died (not Lizy, as I recall), Lizy called us all noobs for "messing up skillchain" (again, it was no one but him/herself who was botching them), ditched our pt, and began shouting that s/he was looking for a pt that didn't suck.
My theory? Lizy is in fact on crack.
OOT, I know, but I thought it was worth mentioning. ^^
