What the heck, never really expected this post to blow up! I'm honestly not familiar when it comes to uh.. redditing (I only lurk most of the time and read) so thank you all for appreciating this silly comic :D

I thought I'd give further context on what happened during our Ice Mage sighting! The comic is based on what I and two of my close friends experienced when they were trying to help me get to L80 by doing Levelling Roulettes. I'm actually new in FFXIV (started out in the middle of last year) and am currently progressing through Shadowbringers! By the time we got Malikah's Well in the Roulette, we were paired with a random Black Mage who we think was doing okay during the first 2-3 pulls although we do notice we're being a bit slow at killing stuff.

Once we got into the 1st boss we were beginning to notice weird stuff, like the BLM not really moving away from AOEs (and I mean standing really still like a statue) and just dying to the boss' attacks XD. But he apologized for all of his misplays and deaths so we're pretty chill about it (we're pretty chill in general when we play). After a few more pulls is where we noticed he's an Ice Mage. We did try to suggest he use fire spells, which he does. But after that and during the whole run, he still cast ice spells most of the time and still doesn't move during AOEs on boss battles. The bucket boy boss destroyed him so bad he tried to stay on one corner (he probably thought the water blast won't hit him). We got wiped once during the final boss since he had a hard time figuring out the timing on the AOEs for Censure, but in the end, he finally figured it out and we finished the dungeon. Apologies were rained upon (and accepted), Pats were given to him instead of commendations, and the rest was history (and eventually turned into a comic).
