Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent.

Saint M's expert roulette. Our other DPS dropped out at some point between the first and second boss. We honestly didn't even notice until another player joined.

DF alliance raid, and somehow they put me as MT despite i keep saying i dont want it, its not about my class being PLD, i never been in this raid (so i dont know anything about the boss or the mechanic), and i have zero knowledge of being MT in raid, this is the very first time i play total blind as tank in raid and they just told me to go MT?

ok i do it. 1st boss down 1 wipe, 2nd boss down another 1 wipe, 3rd boss... 2 wipes and this one warrior guy start vote kick me out and everyone agree.

wtf is wrong with people? is my chat invisible or what?

Nothing is wrong with people. On JP servers at least, it's the general consensus that Alliance B's tank will always MT.

Is it odd if I always pop tempered will on that final Omega F knockback so I'm always the one to tank her?

I also have a feeling that the debuff you get is based on proximity. I tend to pop Surecast to avoid her knockbacks and I get assigned to her almost every time.

I believe it's based on either proximity or whether you smack them. Like - if you smack her from across the room, you get the debuff for him. If you aren't near her, you get the debuff for her instead since you're closer to him.

The second method is unreliable though, so I just make sure to be near whichever boss I want to fight/tank.

levelling an alt, queued healer for lvl roulette, got Aery, cool I like that dungeon. WAR, BRD and a new NIN. all goes well until the first boss, as the NIN is new, he didn't know what the tether did, but that's fine as one hit from the tether is easy to heal through. Yes with decent enough gear. He got oneshotted twice by the mechanic, thought a bit odd, but nevermind, he was new. Then he said "Sorry my gear is low lvl". Curiosity, I inspected him and…. ilvl 35 shirt. The lvl 1 ring from novice hall. And a mix of very low level gear indeed, highest I it was the ilvl 110 ramuh weapon. In the AERY. no wonder he got oneshotted. I didn't want to see how we would have fared at Nidhogg and bailed. I'm sorry, but even if you are new, in no way you queue for a lvl 55 dungeon wearing such low lvl gear, it takes 2 seconds to stroll up a vendor and buy nq gear for your level. I seriously cannot understand why Squeenix is so blind to requests to put a minimum ilvl for dungeons

One of the DPS mentions offhand "You probably have an AOE aggro ability" and the WAR responds "yeah but the recast is sooooo long"

OIEWHFjefoiIJAEFo apparently [2.5s - Skill Speed modifier] is too long?? Hrnngh how does someone at level 60 not know their Overpower? Jump pot and this is their first dungeon ever?

I'm almost willing to bet that was exactly that. Or Palace of the Dead and didn't know their moveset fully.

On a similar note:
I recently had a jumped WHM in Sastasha.
No protect. Runs ahead and pulls like a tank the second we zone in. Almost dies to the first trash pull. Medica Spam until OOM on trash several times.
Tank said it was fine that they were like this because its their first dungeon. As a WHM Main I got really frustrated with that statement. At one stage the tank went down to double digits of health and one more auto attack would have killed them from trash...
In Sastasha.
After the first and second bosses, I offered my help to the WHM and it fell on deaf ears. I ended up telling the tank at the end of the dungeon that not only was it not okay, it was almost insulting that he was defending the fact that he almost died on numerous occasions. If they queued up for a 50/60 roulette after that.... oh those poor souls were in for a show.

Figured I'd do something while I waited.

This is average wait time for DPS.

It's proximity based - Savage works the same way for M and F. However, if everyone crowds around one of them, the buffs become more random, since you can only have 4 on each one of them.

Healers purposely let me die to Doom in Dun Scaith. I was watching the statuses, preparing to remind the healers to esuna the doom. The dooms were being cleared, but i noticed that when i got doomed, it wasn't being cleared. At first i thought it was probably a fluke, but when it happened a second time, i concluded it was being done intentionally. I didnt' say anything during chat during that fight, do I didn't know what i could've done to offend the healers (or the 1 healer who knew to esuna the doom) It's just a game, why do people feel the need to be mean/troll random people online?
