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

False accusations are incredibly rude.

I've been on the receiving end, and i HATE it when i'm told to do something that i am already doing, or to stop doing something that i never did in the first place.

It also makes me question the accusers intelligence and/or awareness

Point out the part of that question that was helpful. Or where it was helpful in the actual duty.

Not to mention, as I already said, no one starts a question with "Umm" and doesn't intend it to be condescending.

I see this whole BLM thing in 2 ways.

Firstly, It could have been worded differently honestly. I'm not gonna say it was
like super "omg report" rude, but it wasn't exactly nice either.

On the other side, by that level, you should kinda know what your rotations.
I get not everyone is perfect. If they did only use Fire 3 (they said they didn't just do that)
then my only assumption is they didn't unlock Fire 4 in the level 60 BLM quest.

@Saiix, if you're still here, make sure you do all the BLM quests for spells
to up your arsenal.

On that note - I don't tell people how to do jack
in-game because they probably won't listen anyways so oh well lol.

The part that highlights the amount of Fire 3 being used as incorrect.

I had a Haukke Manor with a new tank. They were a GLD, it's Haukke Manor so that's not bad. We all had more HP then she did though. But she and the healer kept pretty good. The healer was having connection issues though. But my favorite part was, I was kicking the Succubuses to stun them. And after a couple of fights the tank started doing it. She was just exploring the dungeon, opening doors I haven't been in in ages. The healer finally disconnected during the big hallway in the basement. She came right back though. It was pretty nice run overall. It had me nostalgic from when I was first starting.

Ran leveling roulette this morning as whm, got the Aery. Got GNB, MNK, and DNC for partymates.

Everything was going just swell and dandy (dnc didn't pay attention to mechanics on the first boss and nearly ate it a few times), when I realized something was off. Things weren't dying that fast. I just shrug it off thinking it was me and just too early in the morning. After the first boss, tank decides to do the mass pull up to the first blockade, and my cooldowns were at the ready...then I suddenly see the monk just eat two aoes, one halved her health, then the next one made her eat dirt. It threw me off, and after I got her up and we cleared the trash, I check her gear.

All normal ironworks. I then watch as to what they were doing. No Leaden Fist, occasional Twin Snakes, no keeping up their GL between pulls, no Forbidden Chakra. At least they were consistent in keeping Demolish on bosses and heavy mobs.

Second boss, because the tank refused to pull the boss out of poison clouds, the mnk ended up eating a few stacks of poison. Same with the dnc, though I don't think they were very much aware of their surroundings. Second to last chest mnk weapon drops and the mnk thankfully gets it and equips it.

Last boss, mnk gets targetted with Sable Price, and the dnc and I start to attack it...and the gnb decides she's gonna help destroy it too...only to get the group cleaved and nearly demolish my hp. Intermission the tank decides to stand outside of Estinien's bubble so I had to yank her back in it. We down the boss, roll on loot and I give my thanks for the party.

To that mnk, you had some serious balls.

In that situation, I just do that ranged attack at the target, it's not worth the risk of wiping while trying to save one person.

I did that today as DRK. I hadn't been there for months and didn't remember that there was a cleave. It's a good thing the SCH was on top of things.

I've noticed a few WHMs using only Cure II the past 2 weeks
