FFXIV AST EO Solo 91-100 (12/21)

For context, I have lost over a dozen AST runs to random disconnects and server issues. I've lost runs as deep as floor 86 and floor 93 to disconnects. I decided to try my luck pretty quick after a short break. Things were going ok, but I was definitely aggressively using protomanders to try and get through the set quick.

Floor 97 was incredibly cursed. I noticed the patrols were sliding across rooms, which is a big indicator for lag. I thought that the lag was on my end, but there were server issues right as I got to this floor. Dozens of FC members were logging out all at once. I went to check a silver chest, hoping for a demiclone to speed the floor up, but as I clicked on the chest, my character froze and I began to disconnect right in front of a Minotaur. By some miracle, the minotaur aggro'd and did not kill me, and I was able to get away.

Shoutout to Excalibur for picking Exflammeus 3 times during this lagfest instead of showing mercy with Exglacius instead.
