Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent. 2.0

If you're a Ranged or Healer, please go into melee range if you get stack debuffs when it's safe...
It's driving me insane lol, even if you're a Caster ( you have instant casts ) your one missed gcd doesn't outweigh melee having zero uptime and just having to stand there waiting.

Frontline: Someone asked how to turn off alliance chat. (You can tell how our team did on that run.) Naturally, we listed the myriad OTHER ways to xp in this game.

If you don't want to play frontline properly, please leave it to those that do care. Thank you.

• 2nd boss: WHM died very early. 2nd DPS was a SMN but they did not raise the WHM for whatever reason. About 20% left they also died. We cleared without wipe nevertheless. After the encounter SMN apologized for forgetting they have a raise.

• 3rd boss: Similar to 2nd boss, except this time SMN died quite early but did not get their raise before the WHM died to something else (to Doom IIRC) themselves, leaving myself and my friend to duo the boss.

/smh

This is why I main WAR. I can live without the healer and can also grant immortality to one other person with Nascent Slash. The two of us will finish it.

Me and a party of all sprouts/returners in Shiva EX. I'm on scholar.

I've gotta admit I internally groaned when I saw it pop up. Shiva's not usually that bad, but with an entire party of new players it can be a little rough. This crew though kept on trying and each time they got a little better. Eventually we got the clear, although I swear I scraped each one off the floor at least three times, lol. It was really good to see them triumph. It was also kind of hectic and fun. 10/10 would mentor roulette again.

Wtf is with people lying to your face in recent weeks lol.
In P2S weekly clear I got 1 blue, and then I saw one of the Healers stand in my place with 3 blue over their heads.
They were already there and I could see it clear over their head, even jumped to try and get their attention and I could see 1 blue go up and down with me.
I stepped back after the first charge which we survived and I could again see that they had 3 blue over their head and they stepped back with me and killed us both.
Then when I point it out they have the audacity to blame me and refuse to accept it.

How can you be so confident when you clearly weren't paying attention?
You were literally standing on your own most of the time and had clear view of your number, I checked every time over and over again and every time I saw 3 blue over their head.
You were even standing there alone beforehand a good while before I arrived you had a lot more time than usual to clearly see what you had.
I have no issues taking responsibility for mistakes when it's my fault, I always admit and apologize for it.
But when someone is just lying to my face and trying to make it out to be my fault, screw that.
It's infuriating as hell I hate being blamed for stuff when I didn't do anything wrong, for some reason I've run into quite a few of players like this recently.

Be me queuing for alliance raid as a dps.
Be also me expecting it to take a while.
Be me trying to eat a messy sub covered in sub dressing. At my computer.
Be also me getting a near instant-pop.
Be also me having dressing-covered fingers nearly dropping my sub by the ding.
Be also me having dressing-covered fingers trying to click the "Ok" button and struggling to avoid getting their mouse covered in dressing.
Be me furiously licking and cleaning fingers as we all load into Copied Factory for the roulette.
Be also me glancing at my sub that had one bite taken out of it the entire raid.

The end of the raid couldn't come fast enough. I was hungry.

Why do so many Warriors seem to think they're invincible? No mitigation, no proper timing for bloodwhetting(used it literally as they're pulling), standing in all the bad before dying and pointing fingers at the healer. I bailed right after the first pack. Not my problem anymore. I'll take the 30 minutes thank you.

It's a shame though. WAR is supposed to be a little more relaxing to heal yet I feel like I always get WARs that hear that it's braindead easy and think it's going to be a faceroll.

This is a nicer story.

I've recently started a new character on OCE after playing JP for nearly 2 years. Decided I'd try and shake my fear of Healing by maining WHM from the start. So all good, I'm feeling pretty relaxed, never actively played WHM before and I'm enjoying it, scraped through ARR with Duty Support, still a little nervous.

Comes to Dusk Vigil and I decide now's the time to just yolo this, do not remember the dungeon at all, but I figure I'll do well enough I suppose. Duty Pops and I'm in there as a Sprout with 3 Mentors (mildly terrifying considering the mixed opinions) Tank (a DRK) immediately sprints and heads off in the distance so I'm running as best I can (he's gonna Wall to Wall even though he sees a sprout Healer, ok, I can do this)

We get to I think the second boss and I died (cause i have no clue on these mechanics and no one is explaining, that's fine) luckily the boss dies right after me, so I run back, Tank is like "no problem" we continue, and then I get a message telling me Holy only works if I'm close (yes I totally read the tooltip wrong and had no idea) so shit, I apologize, they're like "all good!" now I can not feel like an idiot :)

Anyways, Tank was like 100 HP and I managed to clutch my instant heals to keep him up (cause apparently no one pops Arms Length for packs of 8+ enemies these days, will rant on that below) finale of the story, we beat the dungeon no deaths except me on the mid boss and I thanked them for the tips and I got 3 commends out of it.

I feel like this SHOULD be the experience in every run, newer players mess up, veterens forgive and give them tips to help them improve, newer players thank them, everyone goes home happy.

*Rant: I dunno if they misread the tooltip or just expect Heals to keep coming in but, Arms Length is a significant mitigation that generally doesn't work on bosses, and mitigates more damage the more enemies are on you, so why don't more Tanks pop it for big pulls? Do they only read the "no knockback" part and not the "Inflicts Slow upon being hit" part? When I Tank it's my first miti on big pulls, cause if I can get through with only Arms Length I have the rest on CD for the boss.

They probably do read the tooltip, but have vague idea what "Slow" really means. Is it reduced movement speed? Is it slower auto attacking speed? Chances are those who don't consider it as part of their mitigation would think of the former.

This weeks P1-4S was the opposite of last week where it was clean the whole way through.
This week I felt like every group was a '' please carry my friends '' group lol.
It's kinda funny in a way to see a whole group of people with Ultimate weapons in a clear group basically not knowing what's going on.

I actually got lucky tho and won both the body and weapon chests, I rolled something like 96 and 87 and was expecting to lose per usual anyways but nope.
Shitty weak for reclear but with a happy ending.

Another DF stuff to share! This time I’m the evil, bad guy, heh…

Queued in as a SGE into Alliance Raid roulette: WoD. This is one of those rarer instances where WoD pop because of an iLv cheeser who apparently did not lower their iLv low enough to omit WoD from the list. I know for sure because this iLv cheeser was in my party. A MNK, equipping only their weapon and one accessory. They re-equip their stuffs quickly after.

So why am I the bad guy this time? Outside AoE healing, I act as if they’re not in the raid. I boatload all the healings they needed to my co-AST. Three DPSes died to random stuffs at first adds; I only bother to swiftraise and hard raise the other two. I did not care about that MNK, they stayed dead for entire encounter. Oh look the other two DPSes died again! I hard raise for them, again.

At Angry Mango however I started to saw a pattern. My co-AST also refused to touch that MNK for whatever reason outside AoE healings. They also did not raise the MNK at all. Why? I have no clue. But sure it was amusing to watch.

I did however had to stop the bad guy act when my co-AST had to afk & got kicked out for that. I solo healed from Atomos to the end. No healer replacement came in until 10s before Cloud of Darkness died.

I’ll be frank: I’m unusually salty with iLv cheeser past few days because 2 days in a row I spotted iLv cheeser cheesed my roulette into LotA/ST. To add insult to the injury, the first time in each day somebody bailed, I also bailed out in hoping to get something that’s not CT raid. It did not worked. Got thrown into another LotA/ST & spotted the cheeser nonetheless.

Co-healer probably noticed too. Bet the new healer was happy with that though.

And my 300th post is dedicated to...

The absolute crouton of a DRK in my Aurum Vale run earlier who belittled our poor SGE for not being able to keep up with them when they were undergeared, pulled the entire first room, didn't mitigate, and didn't spam their AoE.

With their crown on, of course.

Ooof that's rough, that first room is brutal, I wouldn't pull the whole room as a DRK even WITH a geared and competent Healer. I tend to run up the left side and take out the first group before pulling all the wasps and frogs near the middle. Which I usually pop all my mitigation on.

It is also annoying having an undergeared tank trying to pull the whole first room, you don't get exp anymore too so just for showing off

I had an undergeared PLD and SCH in Castrum Abania before, SCH was desperately trying to spam heals but you could see the PLD's health just dropping lower and lower until they died lol.

Joined World of Darkness, Person #1 makes a sexual innuendo joke at the very start and person #2 just says "die". Nothing else was exchanged. It was a smooth run. With no deaths we approach and kill Cerberus, but after the Cloud of Darkness cutscene someone vote dismiss person #2 and succeeds. Petty mf waits until the last boss to votekick someone lol.

Yeah, this is what I meant - sorry about that. The DRK was wearing tissue paper. The SGE was playing as well as you can in that dungeon, but you know how it is. Can't heal stupid.

Some stories from both main and my catboy alt.

• Dohn Mheg
On main, as a GNB. Everything was stellar smooth until first pull after first boss where RDM suddenly stops attacking altogether. When the pack almost dead, they said ”I’m sorry I stopped attacking but I was looking at the fending gears. Damn, the stat difference is wild huh?”

Weird, but I don’t quite get it anyways. Fast forward to big pull after 2nd boss I ran out of cooldowns & was hoping the RDM would LB the pack. They did not, so I just use the LB as my own cooldown.

”clever” said the RDM.

• LotA
On main, as a WHM with my friend. C’s tank was doing the old zombie dragon strat by pulling them to the back of the arena. It was a nostalgic sight… until our tank mentioned that they think it’s a waste of time because when the boss die they have to walk back to middle for the loot and teleport. Lolwat.

Oh yeah, they said that while also trying to provoke the boss back to middle, only to cleave majority of the raid with Hysteria. So much for wanting a fast ride huh…

• Various 5678 & Leveling duties, mostly HW duties
On alt exclusively playing healer role. I’m really liking the vicious cycle of tanks who refuse to pull bigger because I did not ‘heal’ them, which only result in me not pressing my heal buttons more until they brought it up by requesting a healthy 100% health bar at all time. Not gonna happen buddy, you’ve never died. I’ll heal more if you pull bigger.

Nier's Tower raid as a WHM in Roulette:
Many fresh people, took forever, rez a lot, only died once because I miscalculated how far the annoying forced march would lead me but overall a decent job for myself and WHM is sleep inducing.

No comms or whatever but I finally got the damn fending leggings which no one wanted, so I am the happiest person in the raid.

The raid itself is not common and only got once as a tank in roulette without the gear dropping so a big relief.

It started off with me accidentally queued Dead Ends after turning off explore mode to do some gpose.

I'm playing SCH. I get this DRK tank.

I find he's a little high maintenance on the heals. I eventually get around to inspecting....
600 weapon... ok
A mix of 590 gear... left side has no materia and right side has direct hit.

The mob packs didn't even go down that fast. :rolleyes:

(People say healing is easy and this huge overhaul is needed. I'm convinced they don't even play anymore.) :rolleyes:

I've done something like this in POTD. One guy wanted the silver chests and another guy wanted to run straight to the portal and do nothing else regardless if it was open or not. He started to get really mouthy about it taking too long so me and a neutral guy started to help out the guy who wanted the silver chests. Right before we hop into the portal to the boss we vote kick the mouthy guy.

Doesn't matter if that one syncs or what happens to melds. I know how things should go.

Wow I love being blamed for Healing problems as melee /s.
This was with Healing issues the entire way through too, we did quite a lot of pulls and every pull I could feel the lack of Healing and Shielding.

( I cut out some of the others because there was much much more ).

(Idiot Healer): ppl are neither pressing buttons, be that damage or mitigation
(Idiot Healer): and dont know how to do mechanics to boot
(Idiot Healer): in like what

(Me): I used all mitigation I had

(Another DPS): same
(Tank): i used all mines
(Other Tank): same
(Idiot Healer): you died because ppl blasted their bits on one thing and then absolutely had nothing

(Idiot Healer): not using it
(Idiot Healer): for easily 5 mins
(Idiot Healer): in other ppls cases

(Me): I literally used it lol
(Other DPS): i think im the only one using feint
(Me): when I said everything I mean everything
(Tank): lets try again
(Me): it'd be silly to blame lack of feint for wipe tho
(Idiot Healer): "used it all"
(Me): and yes I still used it
(Idiot Healer): SAM - 2 feints in 8 mins
(Idiot Healer): out of what
(Idiot Healer): 5 possible?
(Idiot Healer): 4 or 5


(Me): don't ????ing blame me
(Me): I said I used it
Battle commencing in 22 seconds!
(Tank)
Battle commencing in 15 seconds!
Battle commencing in 10 seconds!
Battle commencing in 5 seconds!
Engage!
(Idiot Healer): do your job first before you make us do ours harder
(Idiot Healer): also that was just an example
(Me): I told you I used it
(Idiot Healer): feint was generally underused
(Me): I used literally all mit I have now stfu
(Idiot Healer): u used
(Idiot Healer): 2
(Idiot Healer): out of what
(Idiot Healer): 5
(Me): I am using it every time on big AoE
(Other DPS): just go

(Idiot Healer): 3 is plenty
Battle commencing in 22 seconds!
Battle commencing in 15 seconds!
(Idiot Healer): and I as healer am telling you
Battle commencing in 10 seconds!
(Tank) dam it
(Idiot Healer): you are not using it enough
Battle commencing in 5 seconds!
Countdown canceled by you.
(Me): alright
(Me): Since Idiot Healer is an idiot Imma go
(Other DPS) :c

What an absolute moron, I actually did get legit mad.
This was after wiping to Enrage in P4S Phase 2, I was desperately holding on for dear life it was like no healing was going out at all ( again this was a consistent problem I noticed ).

I use all of my defensive tools every time I am doing this, even if I didn't ( WHICH I FREAKING DID ) it still wouldn't have changed a bit because we simply weren't getting shields and heals.
This was a SCH too btw, and I don't think we got a single shield in the last phase.

Sry to rest of group but I ain't dealing with that bs, I don't want to play with people like that.

Edit: Also we had issues with a Healer not soaking Towers in Act 3 and going the wrong directions in Act 2, go figure.
Also I DO use Feint actively on big AoE dmg, and I DID use it on the last phase too and we STILL died.
How the hell is it my fault rofl.

Sounds like the healer was using a naughty tool.

Feint won't save you on Curtain Call. If your group sees both rounds of Curtain Call, as a healer you forget all about your dps log and heal spam. Healer indeed sounded like an idiot.

Also while frequent use of mitigation is good, the only serious damage in Part 2 is Act 4 and Curtain Call. The rest of the fight is a whatever.

We also died when Feint was up lol, I saw the group in PF after I left so they continued.
But then later the second Healer joined the new group I was in so they didn't clear.
The second Healer also brought it up because they recognized my name and agreed with me too, the SCH was still being a problem and shit-talked me after I left.
And we cleared with the second group so... Lol.

In the second group there was a bit of drama too between the RPR and SMN.
Earth Shakers kept being baited wrong and killed Ranged + Healers.
The SMN started blaming the RPR for it and started making things up about how RPR was standing on m1 when they were m2.
Which wouldn't explain why the Earth Shakers killed the other group and I was m1 I could literally see that the RPR wasn't going wrong lol.
But they just insisted that everything that went wrong was the RPR's fault for some reason.

We seriously need a stats meter for this game for DPS/Deaths/Amount Healed. I dragged a full team kicking and screaming through Zodiark. I res'd every one of them, most of them twice to three times(assuming you include a healer lb3). At the end of it the other healer who spent more time laying on the ground inhaling moon dust than anyone else gives this cheery little "Hey everyone, how did I do?" and everyone sits there telling them they did great.

I didn't say anything or complain the entire time. I'm not normally much for commendations but I could've used one for that. I don't need any worship or anything extreme but a little acknowledgement for all that instead of kissing the other healer's rear end because they asked would be nice...

Sometimes I wonder whoever that ask that question at the end of duties to everybody in the party is either clueless or trolling for few of the following reasons:

• If they really want a legit advice, the logical person to ask in that party is their co-healer. Not the entire party. Yes, there could be main healer playing alt jobs in the party. But the same could also be said that everybody could be playing their main jobs.
• This is rather anecdotal: I have a friend who's basically an epitome of "pure healers" when they pick up one in duties. They never touch non-casual contents. I am fine with carrying their a$$, which our circle of friends would happily do as well. But there was one time they really know they're doing badly in Innocence trial and they still ask that very question to the rest of the party when I was co-healing with them. I asked them why, their answer was "I just don't want them to think I'm not trying at all."

It's just validation honestly. It still bothers me. I'm not perfect and I have bad runs sometimes, but I'm usually extremely quiet and absolutely ashamed during those times. I'm not saying we need to shame people but it just feels like a breech of humility to me.

I think our culture of patting people on the back and telling them that all their mistakes are fine also embraces people seeking validation too :/ Which is super unfortunate because not only is it not healthy but I feel like some of us don't even receive the community's grace in that way either.

I always make a point of telling someone that actually did well that they did well if someone asks this question. I had similar co heal, also on Zodiark, that asked "did I do well? :3" and I told the RDM that I really appreciated their help with ressing and the tanks for mitigating well.

If the rest wants to kiss someone's butt who spent more time on the floor and didn't do anything productive like helping with resses or healing people that just got ressed and instantly attacked or pressing their dot instead of spamming Asp Helios when we were all full HP that's their decision but I'll not participate in it. And I assume that someone who genuinely wants advice will just ask their co heal or if a healer main is present if they could stay for a few min to give them feedback. Most people are more than happy to do it but this "how did I do? did I do well?" just reeks of fishing for compliments and hollow pats on the back for some quick dopamine fix.

You may find playing healer difficult. I understand that multitasking is beyond the scope of a minority of people. However, this doesn't mean that the rest are handicapped players that have no clue how to master the art of spamming a DPS button while keeping the tank alive with oGCDs.

Wait... What? I mean if things are going poorly (like the tank being squish) then I'd attribute it more to poor CD use or lack of experience over gear, because that gear? Perfectly acceptable in that dungeon. -In fact, I'd have checked the DPS gear over the tank's because unless the tank wasn't keeping enmity, the disposal of trash is the primary job of your DPS. Not them.

I have healed that multiple times. In 580 gear. Unmelded (because let's face it--melds are useful but absolutely not needed in casual content. Especially dungeons). I do agree that healing pugs is its own challenge, but nitpicking that gear is just... Really? Is this where we're at right now? A baby step below BiS and that's it. Intolerable.

*Sigh* This game sometimes, I swear.
