Oh wow...yeah, that is really bad. That should not happen....like at all.
Those are situational moves...that have little effect against bosses, if any. Like, seriously. Granted, I've only played monk in 3.56 content, so I don't know how much different monk plays now...but yeah, even against regular adds, I never found a use for another of those three skills. Dunno why somebody would be using them in freakin Omega Savage.
I was coming here to post about this!
I also inadvertedly killed both Bourne_Endeavor and Hyomin by not stacking properly, in my defense I was fangirling too hard to play well.
My bad news story is about my expert roulette. I wound up in Kugane Castle which almost never happens, nice! A refreshing change of scenery!
I was so, so wrong.
I had a WAR tank and DRG/NIN DPS with me on AST. I am the first to admit I don't know much about either of those DPS at 70 while I do know WAR pretty well as it's my boyfriend's main. The WAR does the standard pulls which is cool, that's a good way to feel out the party, but it becomes apparent very quickly that I am going to have two problems.
The first is that this WAR would make a great off tank, she's allergic to tank stance and all about her DPS. Cooldowns are emergency buttons for her apparently.
The second is that things are dying noticibly slowly. Whether it's a boss or a group of trash it's taking much longer than I usually see to the point that I have to reign in my own DPS several times to make sure I'll have the MP to keep this glass tank up.
Sadly I don't know enough about either DPS class to offer meaningful help to them and what I do think I know could be wrong so I stay quiet to avoid spreading misinformation.
We make it through but the run takes nearly a half an hour total and I have burned several ethers trying to AoE down the ridiculously large packs the tank winds up pulling. She even does the full pull after the second boss.
It was just exhausting to heal, plus I was sort of forced to play very aggressively towards the end because if not we were going to eat some of those huge bomb AoEs.
Moral of the story? Sometimes Bole has it's uses.
Thank you! Great seeing you guys as well!
Also your The Game issues make me think of this comic from Why Maige just happening in reverse...
