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

Was leveling my Monk the other day. Got Brayflox normal for low level roulette.

Warrior(synced down from 54) would not switch to Defiance for the life of him. We tried asking, we tried poking, we tried auto translate, we tried EVERYTHING.
Not a single response. Never used overpwer, only used his aggro combo on a single mob and that's it. If the mob died? He would just wait until the rest were dead

Luckily the MCH was pushing one mob back and locking it into place.
I would pull aggro on the other mob to make sure our AST was safe.
Our AST was very competent and kept us all alive.

Final boss the WAR went down ofcourse because he didn't dodge a single thing nor move boss out of the poison pools, so I wound up tanking the boss

Monk tanking FTW! :cool:

BLM I ran with once had rotation of: Flare, Transpose. Repeat.

oh god, he didnt at least fire 3 first?

Had a BLM pull everything and blamed me whilst tanking that I was too squishy when he died. Biggest facepalm I've had in ages.

The worst is probably a tank in Haukke Manor not knowing how to tank and kept 1 vs 1ing targets with his sword combination only.

lol no, literally just flare transpose flare transpose.

There have been others, but this is the one I always remember

Friend offered to tank my mch with his pld in DD last night. I'm not a huge fan of mch and was kinda iffy on dealing with DF, but said sure.

The drg never ever aoed. I think she was synced down so she should have had one, but maybe not. First boss took forever to kill and she didn't touch adds, so her dps was also low.

The healer though.. Cnj, no soul crystal, wearing HQ vit acc. Gear was NQ whites, some underleveled. Autofollowed my friend and used medica to heal. Would not move out of aoes, so I said it was probably a bot and he should leave it out of the purple to kill it. It stopped following then and would refollow after pulls..

It let my friend die after the first boss and we wiped. Drg dropped out and we vote abandoned. I was going to kick after loot anyway.. Said no more DF that night.

I will top your smn horror story.

Last boss in Fractal smn only casted Ruin. I had to tell him to dot it. He wasn't even using or even had his athear stacks up at any time to get dread wyrm possession had to tell him to do that to. We wiped about 3 times because adds wernt dying fast enough. Wasn't till the 4th that I noticed it was the smn.

Well here is one I did to myself on accident. Went into the (I forget Dungeon name) Level 53 dungeon on my Ninja, this was just after the moonfire faire so I had just gotten my new shoes and yukata, ran to my FC home and started pulling out the mats needed to glamour it on but of course I wanted to put it on and make sure I liked the look. Decided I did and glamoured it, to what? I wish I knew cus I then proceeded to join the dungeon and after taking massive blows, doing much lower damage and yet trailing in 3rd, I stopped and said "my damage doesnt seem right..." opened my equip to see the level 1 shirt and shoes as my main gear as the healer stated 'Well don't think that armor is helping too much" xD

Though I think the most hilarious ones are when I am told to not do my classes core skills, such as a Summoner being told to stop doting and AOEing and stick to single target. I literally went numb at such a stupid comment but because of wait times and not wanting to start over just went with it.

Edit: and seriously, remove the 1000 limit or making it larger, the above post isnt even all that big.

Did Everweep as DRG yesterday, end up with a WAR, a SCH and a NIN. The tank does nice, aggressive pulls and I'm like "great, this'll be over quick!". I start doing the usual things and realise I'm going to run out of TP before the mobs are even halfway dead. I check the DPS and see that the NIN is barely hitting 250. 250 DPS as a level 60, fairly geared melee. I politely tell him that his damage output is quite low and that perhaps he should look into some rotation guides and videos on YouTube or something. Not a word in response. The tank and healer get a bit annoyed and rude with him, still no response. We kick him after second boss because honestly, he wasn't contributing much at all. We get a replacement MNK in seconds who dishes out fantastic damage on the last boss. Clear time ended up being 49 minutes. :(

Have also seen quite a few cases of me out-DPSing BLMs and whatnot in AoE situations when I'm on my SCH. Yeah.

Was tanking expert roulette for the extra gil and instant queue(usually heal). My tank is i188 with strength acc. The run of Neverreap was absolutely flawless as we come up to the final trash pull before the last boss. I write out in chat that I would be pulling all the mobs back to the dhamel spawn room as to avoid the water spouts and to have more room to dodge the bazillion aoe's that happen. I do this every time and say it in chat too so there is no confusion. I've never had a problem with it for any group I've tanked (probably hundreds of times at this point) and it only takes about 4 seconds longer to position them. I die because the healer is too busy typing in chat that its pointless to do that and that I'm an awful tank. We wipe and come back as I'm explaining why I pull them back so its easier for me to dodge everything. Of course it's my fault that we died, even though I went through every cd and still died as the healer was raging over a tanking preference. Him and one of the dps (must have queued together) start cussing at me in chat and telling me that his warrior is way better and that he tanks A3S all the time. Then I see the loading screen right before I start to pull the group.... Kicked right before the last boss because I decided to tank the mobs where the dhamels are. Thought about reporting it for harassment and misuse of the kick feature, but shrugged it off and queued again since the GM would probably do nothing.

Awesome community we have here.

Whorleater Extreme. A whole bunch of us vs Lake Dragon(Thing?). We all do great, we stay positive, until phase two...everything falls apart. Hellwaters raises, the Heavens get drowned and LOADS of us dies and then, eventually at the Phase were the Fences pulls down. Nearly everyone falls down often, chaos has been unleashed! As we survive after several trials, we fight him with INFINITE minions coming to screw our day. Nobody knows what to do, and we just do whatever we feel is right, and i literally watch and try to heal everyone as much as i can, and do whatever i can do to keep people alive. To no avail...

And let me tell you. We kept at this for more then fifteen times! And people kept going in and out as we re-tried so often! I've never suffered more. But the few who stayed kept positive! I can't remember everything, it has been a little while, sorry for no so detailed story. But EFF! I was frustrated that day.

While leveling my white mage, i decided to do Dzemael Darkhold.

When i zone in, I noticed something off about our tank. He was a gladiator, not a paladin, and he had much less health than I did. When I asked him why he didn't have his soul gem and why he was in sub level 20 gear, he said that he put on the wrong item set, and insisted we try to complete the run (However, it did not occur to him to put on his level appropriate gear). So we continued on at a snails pace, me spamming heals on him the whole while to keep him from getting two shot by every mob (even in the crystal light buff).

It was at that point that i went to see if he had put on the right gear yet (and of course, he didn't) so i suggested he do so. He started to, got half way through putting his gear on, got frustrated, then left the group.

That was the only time i've ever seen someone forget their soul gem. And i still question how he accidentally equiped a gladiator set (because once you obtain your soul gem, your set updates to the job after you save your gear set)

Was one of them me? XD

BLM was my 3rd job to 60. I loved level 50 BLM 'cause it felt so fluid, but at level 60 it feels so... clunky and awkward. I did one EX Roulette on BLM and immediately went to level SMN. At least one class is getting some use out of my casting armor. >.<

This is the worst! I see this all the time in low level runs. Its like they are bored but dont want to do anything so they just run in circles waiting on people to get hurt enough.

Neversuck is bad for everyone, so there's your excuse :P

Feels fluid to me because I'm just doing the core rotation.

I have had a lot of bad DF runs with various things like...

Non Jobs!: Level 51 GLD, Level 60 MAR, Level 53 ARC, Level 58 ARC
People who didn't even know there was skills after 50... Level 60 BRD, when asked why they weren't using WM answered with "When do I get that? I don't see it in my spellbook."

Level 60 WAR in The Aery, pulls multiple mobs then pops Raw Intuition... without Awareness, and is constantly moving about, getting crit on all sides. THEN, has the nerve to say "Healer can't keep up, no big pulls." ... I was the healer. And yeah, gave him a piece of my mind about using a freakin' CD guaranteed to give him crits.

Level 60 WHM in The Library, healing in Cleric Stance and saying I was too hard to heal on DRK. Even though I was using CD's and self healing rotation to help out... and my health was taking about a good 8-10 seconds to hit half on any given pull. Which is more than enough time to drop CS and toss at least one big heal out >.O

And possibly my all time favourite:
Any BLM who walks into a run where I'll be tanking, sees that I'm not wearing ALL Str Accessories and makes a snap judgement of "I'm going to pull off you."
Oh yeah? Love to see you try. Even with them constantly switching targets on PURPOSE to try and pull off me, I am able to leave at the end with a happy face and the statement "Keep trying, try hard. Keep trying..."

Well for example in Sastasha, you have to pick whether you will use Cleric or Protect, if you are AST or SCH.
You also have to change your hotbars, because you lack upgraded skills, and have to use some you never use (like Ruin).
I also usually use my DoTs in a Macro, so I don't have them readily accessible, and when I am synced to a level before getting Bio II, then my macro does not work.
Low level dungeons are annoying as hell to DPS in as a healer...

While I WILL do my absolute best to DPS as a healer when I have downtime, there are days where I am too tired to stance-dance, or my stance-dance button doesn't work, or when I just don't want to switch my cross-class skills to be able to use Cleric...
Healer DPS is a bonus, not a requirement, and you should be happy about healers that DPS, not frustrated with those that don't.

A suggestion I'd like to make, just to help out. If you set up say
/ac "Ruin III"
/ac Ruin

It will attempt to use Ruin III, if it can't find it (or level synced) will cast Ruin in place, same with other skills, saves the hassle of tossing skills to and from the hotbar.

I actually had a really good first run of the library. I didn't say anything, but immediately the tank was like I'll explain all the fights its ez. Well he did just that and even on the last boss he marked himself and me and told the other 2 who to follow to stand on those circles, it went incredibly smooth. That don't happen to often, but man I love it when it does :)

good point, and I dont think DPS is a requirement. I only mentioned my frustration with the example for when its obvious no one is needing healing, there was plenty of time to DPS and the healer chooses to instead run around the group in a big circle as if proclaiming his/her "look how little I have to do, I'm bored, why dont you guys go faster" attitude. If you can run laps around the party between heals, maybe throwing a few dots and a pebble would help out instaed of cardio.

Mwaha, well I doubt you're alone with that - BLM changed a lot and it seems you need pretty high stats to get part of that fluidity back. :p These cases though, it's basically been 4-6 targets and the BLM does 300-400 DPS - much less than you would do with the old 2.5 rotation at i120. I do that much with my SCH by putting up a few DoTs and Baning it.

Yeah, I know this trick, and use it with Wheeling Thrust/Fang and Claw on my DRG. It's just annoying that you can't queue macros like you can skills.
I just never bothered with doing this for Ruin II/Ruin since it's a really low probability I will need it, while with DRG it's part of 90+% of rotations past 58.

Have quite a bit of stories to tell. I don't know if I'm that "lucky", but somehow I often end up in the dungeons with the weirdest people.

Yesterday:
Leveling roulette (Stone Vigil).
Message, that someone is new, and it's a bard. Tank is a DRK. Sweet, means things should go smoothly, since tank is not a newb. Im armed with aero and rocks to contribute to the fast run. First pull, Im putting some dots and notice that tanks health is going down VERY fast. Oh well, less dps then. But Im still struggling to heal the damage! I have to spam cure/cureII without even a slight break. DPS is not that great, but it's bearable. We proceed to first boss and kill it. And then tank starts pulling two groups at a time (while Im struggling to heal him through one pull, honestly). I pop everything that I have (which is not much on this lvl) and somehow we continue. One more pull, tank dies, insta ress, miraculously didn't wipe. Next pull, same situation and again, somehow we didn't wipe. Ice sprites and tank aggroes mobs in the next room accidentally and this time we wipe. I check tanks gear and its.... almost starting DRK gear. WTF?! Anyway, it's too late, we're struggling past the second boss. Coming to a last boss, BRD viewing cutscene, but who needs DPS?! He rushes headlong into the boss even tho I preliminary warned everyone to WAIT in chat tow times! So of course BRD gets locked out and three of us (including DRG as a second dps) poke the boss for an eternity. We managed to kill it without an extra dps, because this boss is a joke, but I was mad.

Amdapor (first time run). We go in with my wife as a tank and me as a healer. Wife read about the dungeon, didn't quite understand what should happen, but I said yolo and we went in. End up with two bards, one is new and one has been there but speaks french and can't really communicate in english very well so he just tells us to figure it out on the go. Anyway, everything goes fine and we love the dungeon, the theme and music. Last boss, french bard is like: fight is complicate, figure out! Well, YOLO! I see doors and marks on them and immediately figure out that they need to be opened. So through trial and error after wiping 2 times I figured out what to do with doors (French BRD, knowing the fight didn't help us, but w/e). So we go in the third time and I say in chat: I WILL OPEN DOORS. I quickly marked some doors to open, only to realize someone is wiping off my marks! (turned out it was my wife lol, she wanted to mark the doors for me too) Welp, good thing I have a good visual memory. I open one door and go to another one, while healing. Diabolos starts his cast and I open the second door...and nothing happens. French BRD just opened another door! UGHhh. Wipe again, I tell him that I WILL OPEN DOORS again. Meanwhile my wife doesn't understand what's happening (I had to explain it to her in detail after fight because she somehow wasn't getting it lol) and why I'm so mad D: We go again and the same story happens, I open door, bard opens different freaking door. At the time I honestly thought I'd punch my screen. I votekicked him but other dps didn't understand what's happening either, so the french guy stayed. My wife as a tank gave orders that only I should open the doors and we waited confirmation from a frenchman, he said okay so we went in and this time we actually did it. It wasn't a 90 minute dungeon (only 60 lol) but it was the most maddening experience I've had in this game so far :D Also, I dont think BRD was trolling, I think he honestly didnt understand what is going on and tried to do the dungeon, but I was still extremely mad.

And another one as a repost from the thread of "healer's nightmare" although it's not directly healer related:

We reach last boss and there is a story cs there for like 30 seconds or so. I proceed to watch it to see that they've engaged.... I thought that if they want to proceed without me then okay. They wipe to tons of aoe even before I finish watching the cs. after I said that it wasn't very wise to engage when healer is viewing cutscene tank goes apeshit and curses me for slowing the run... Then proceeds to kick me. I found another group and finished it without a problem, but seriously you really can't wait 1 whole minute for a person to watch story in a story driven game? :/ it's not lvl 50 msq raids with 20 minutes of cs, it's literally less than one minute. I feel guilty and afraid of being yelled at every time I watch cs really...and since I'm a healer party will definitely wipe if they engage without me... But they still do it

---

Garuda story. Newb bonus. SCH who uses ONLY Physick and Selene (nothing wrong with that but after 3 wipes you would think maybe Eos would be more... useful) and after asking/telling SCH to use other abilites(Adlo/Succor) and he just simply ignoring you.

Yeah. I just simply said SCH to start learning his job and left.

Oh man so many of these stories.

Doing neverreap, drg that only used the Full Thrust combo. Didn't use any buffs or debuffs, when I mentioned something about it, he ignored me.

Leveling nin, level 47 gld with no pld, said he didn't feel he should have to level cnj. He died a lot and I ended up tanking most of the run.

Leveling ast, in Satasha, newbie gld that wouldn't use flash. As pld is my main, I gave that person some advice on what to do as a lowbie gld tank to hold threat. Acknowledged my words, but then just went right back to what they were doing. Just gave up on them at that point and healed the group through it anyway.

Playing war and having countless rog/nin's that won't use goad when I ask for it.

Countless dps in general ignoring adds or other mechanics.

On a positive note:

Level drg, get in to Gubal library, healer dies on the first boss. I stay up as long as I can, but the unavoidable aoe (repel, the ice he casts) takes me down. Level 59 war solos the boss down from 70% to death by himself with bloodthirst and well timed stance dancing, it was very impressive.

Plus with the transpose timer, he would still have to wait a ridiculous amount of time so he isn't stuck OOM. Like.. it would ironically take a bit of skill to make this abomination of a rotation work.

"Abomination Rotation" Sounds like some kind of grindcore band.

I had the worst DF run of my life yesterday.

Low roulette, Haukke Manor NM, I was levelling my paladin.

Level 35 CNJ. Brand new (green leaf) LNC and a BLM. LNC is wearing a robe, so I examine him - he was purely wearing caster gear so I said "You should check gear for Strength stats from now on, that gear is for casters". He ignores me, I shrug and keep going. LNC proceeds to run off before each pull is finished and run to engage the next lot. He later does this repeatedly when the healer randomly goes afk, despite me asking him as nicely as I know how to T_T

CNJ whines about having MP issues before the first boss, so I watch his cast bar for a bit - he's spamming Cure II. No wonder he has no mana. I tell him "You'll get a spell at 38 that will help with mana, but you might wanna use Cure a bit more if you're having mp problems". He takes my advice (!) but when the boss is over he goes "I knew that, I have a BLM at 60" (wtf). As an aside, this guy is using Fluid Aura on CD and dpsing all the time, but never in Cleric.

While all this is going on, the BLM keeps randomly stopping for 30 seconds+

Slowly working our way onwards, LNC pulling everything ahead of me then bringing it back, CNJ struggling to keep up, LNC pulling again before me as I'm waiting for healer MP ...

Second boss. LNC moves for no AOE. Attacks the non-marked target but luckily? does so little damage I can keep aggro on both bosses easily.
Final boss was a nightmare. Nobody touched the lamps except me and, eventually, the blm. Adds take forever to die.

We'd been in there 40 minutes at that point and I just wanted out T___T If I hadn't been so close to 53 I would have nope'd out of there tbh.

On last boss. Tank clearly does not know how to hold hate. I sit and wait for a little while for him to get hate before I decide to go in. Use Quelling Strikes then my opener and I still get hate during the fight. "You got to let me get hate before you come in!"

I stopped caring about what other players do in Duty Finder a long time ago. That's my story (ー.ー").

Iirc, my stats are pretty out of wack. I definitely just dumped full i190 onto my casters without paying attention to sub stats.

These cases though, it's basically been 4-6 targets and the BLM does 300-400 DPS - much less than you would do with the old 2.5 rotation at i120. I do that much with my SCH by putting up a few DoTs and Baning it.

---

Oh gosh. XD Okay, maybe I'm not quite that bad... I think.

I was in a Fractal run a few weeks ago with a new healer who was having a ton of trouble with the first boss. We wiped quite a few times. Healer seemed like a genuinely nice, chill person who was actually trying though and I didn't really have anything else to do so I didn't mind staying. Luckily, the other two party members were also a couple of cool people so they agreed to help the healer through it as well. We eventually got past the first boss and, surprisingly, the rest of the run went off without a hitch. So....yeah, that was cool. It restored quite a bit of faith in the community for me.

...sadly, that renewed faith was quickly lost again shortly after. I don't feel like getting into it because the thought of it just makes me unreasonably angry, but let me just say that if you're not tanking and you decide to purposefully pull for the tank or attack before they establish aggro, I hate you.

Worst DF story I can remember? Stone Vigil, Tank can't hold mobs to save his soul and the healer quits, we get a new healer and he focuses the healing on me and the bard until the Tank starts hold the mobs better (or at least we was killing them faster) when we got the the second boss...then it went south hard...

Tank refused to move boss to doorway
Bard doesn't use cannons, meaning I had to
Tank is taking so much damage the healer is going nuts trying to keep him alive

...needless to say we all died painfully

Excuse me while I laugh and cry simultaneously.

These stories are great. I don't really have stories of my own that I remember off the top of my head but I do have similar experiences with many. I just happen to be ones those that has a successful DF run of 95%.

Oh wait, I remember one. The Aurum Vale. Healer comes in when everyone is loading and says, "DRK." I didn't think anything of it. I pull little by little since I know how much of a death trap that first room is and plus we had a new person. We wipe because I noticed someone aggro another group that was far away. The healer says that he forgot to "repair" his gear and asked to be kicked. One of the DPS calls him out saying he aggro another group of mobs and that he refused to continue because we have a DRK (Me) as the tank. Eventually we kicked him but I was still left in "Huh?" Mind you, I'm fully geared and using CDs but he just completely refused to continue.

Protect isn't noticeable in the first dungeons, so running with cleric is fine. I'm a console healer and don't have to change anything special for dpsing endgame or low level..there's plenty of room.

Not wanting to dps is fine and all, but your fairy could heal 99% of satasha.. I'd fall asleep if I didn't dps. :/

had a tank in a Sastasha low level recently who pulled one group at a time - made sense. Comp was DRK/DRG/NIN/WHM, so that was the ideal way to pull. Burning singles down since we didn't have a lot of AoE capacity.

WHM starts ****ing about not pulling enough and being 'bored' and I finally just tell 'em to DPS.

"Oh right, I could DPS"

Not really a horror story but wanted to comment.

Running the Aery as a machinist, got a bard as the second DPS, bard decided to ignore the existence of dodging, poison, the bomb itself on boss two....little while later I run another dungeon and the first thing the healer asked me was how do they remove debuffs.

Then I go into the Vault ...healer drops on first boss with 5% left this Machinist starts screaming about LBing the boss, we don't so he comes back and uses it on normal mobs because we said using it at 5% would be a waste of LB, he then continued to fight with me until after second boss, where he went into the room with the two horses and pulled them both and almost died before me as a Ninja and the tank picked up the two mobs he blindly pulled. In reply to this instead of thanking me for saving him...he started going off how I didn't goad him during the time of trying to keep him from dying for the fifth time in the dungeon, I told him to basically be happy we did help cause if I was healer I would of let him die....lol

I was gonna say "IS this me" because I leveled LNC without DRG unlocked... I may even do it through HW... who knows
(I don't use LNC for any serious gameplay, just for funsines)

Ran with two tanks in Battle in the Big Keep with ilvl 60 (Ifrit Axe) and ilvl 70 (Garuda Sword) weapons. The average ilvl for that trial is 90. Both were new, I think.

The worst part? I made a suggestion to the Warrior to upgrade the axe when he got through and his response: he mained Monk and "I just wanted to get through this."
