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

I'm still running Dun Scaith and Weeping City in hopes of the minions. My WCoM run went fine today, but my DS run... sigh. I was in Alliance A (it's always alliance a???) and just. our healers. straight from the beginning kept being blown off by every single mechanic of Deathgaze. I called out in party chat about doom since me and the healer that happened to be up could cleanse and.. nope nothing. Whole alliance was pointing out to just not bother raising our healers and just raise us DPS (I was on NIN).
Ferdiad and Scáthach went. surprisingly ok all considering though I think the MT died in Scáthach, but Diabolos again.. I'm not sure what happened to Alliance C but suddenly most of them were on the floor right as the lifegate was coming up for DPS check. we had to shout at our healers to stop casting Stone/Malefic and help raise since there was only 1 person up in C. they did listen. eventually.

I got to see Selli though, someone i've only heard mentioned through this forum! She was in another alliance though, so I felt nervous about saying hi.

I was in C, but also do not know what killed us o.o'

Had a really odd run that ruffled me a little bit. Went into Snowcloak as a DRK, and as I usually do, I dropped my grit for all 3 bosses. Had no problems, health never dipped low during those fights and i used my cool downs appropriately.

During the 3rd boss, though, the chat was filling up with complaints and insults about dropping grit. Was told to quit multiple times. I ignored them.

Was it the healer? No, healer had no problem with my dropping grit. Was it the dragoon? Nope. They liked clearing the fight faster.

No, it was some uppity red mage who died to Lunar Cry. I got two comms out of that run, but that seriously annoyed me that they were complaining

I'm going to hazard a guess that when they died to lunar cry, they thought they got hit by it because you lost hate since you had dropped Grit. They weren't new to the fight were they and possibly didn't understand how to avoid it?

Relaying for Selli: she says hello. She says sorry you died to Doom, she didn't realize she needed to help with heals until she raised the AST for the 3rd or 4th time and then toward the end Deathgaze's DoTs got way out of hand for her to keep up with both Alliances. But she tried her best to keep an eye on your group for the other bosses and throw out heals as needed.

She also says she was on Alliance C and they died to the cleave on Diabolos. The tank turned Diabolos before the stack marker appeared and he cleaved both the healers and canceled their AoE heals and then the stack damage killed a majority of the party since they were missing HP and had no mitigation.

All and all, she said it was a good run and that DPS was very good, she was worried for a bit that Deathgaze would enrage, but all worked out. And we both wish you luck on getting the minions you are missing, 24mans can be pretty merciless when it comes to minion collecting.

I get really annoyed at co-healing with other ASTs. Between them not paying attention to the sect I’m already in and then picking the same one I’m already in after we initiate combat and overwriting cards, I want to scream every time I have another AST as a co-healer. >.>

It was a mentor from Sagittarius. Which makes this quite a bit worse considering that you can only die to Lunar Cry if you get caught not hiding behind an ice pillar. Suppose they weren't paying attention to the three of us hiding well out of melee range of the boss.

Hello! Thank you for the good luck wishes ;w; and it's ok, that run on Deathgaze was almost the worst I've seen ( I had one with the soft enrage ) but she did very well, everything considered :>

Oh my gawd, this. I'm a bit more fortunate with not running into stubborn-sect ones (last time must have been in HW), if anything we might swap to the same sect accidentally once or twice at the start- which is more amusing than irritating. But the card overwriting co-ASTs (you get one free "I'll assume that was an accident" before I begin to despise you) can annoy me enough to cause me to be vindictive and try to Sleeve-Draw an Expanded anything to overwrite their overwrite if I feel like they are being overly inattentive or even doing it on purpose.

My knee-jerk cringe to loading into a party with another AST makes me wish I could just lean over to one of the other parties in 24-man raids without an AST and ask "do you want to trade?" I think the devs should add an extra party-forming criteria where as long as there are DF alliances being formed with 3 or less ASTs, they should always be sorted into different parties.

Though I do get about just as many co-healing ASTs that pay attention and (for the most part) take turns using Expanded cards, but it's still a pain to have to watch and guess what they're going to do/hold-off on immediately using cards out of courtesy. But if we don't have any card problems, they'll probably get my commendation on that quality alone (unless there's something glaringly awful).

Got my Rab run out of the way for the week, and during the final boss, I noticed that I was #2 on the hate list. I don't parse, so I don't know exactly how the numbers went, but I feel like a healer shouldn't be that high up, especially that close to the end of the fight :P

Well... you've been probably generating aggro from healing aswell - I'm sure you're aware that WHMs can generate a lot of aggro, from stuff like Regen-ticks or Cure III alone... every DPS also has aggro dropping tools - I dont know wether or not you used yours, but if you didnt and the casters did you have another reason for their aggro to be lower.

Now, maybe you really did generate most of that aggro by dpsing - and its not unlikely for the DPS in runs like this to be shitty, we've all been there... but I feel that this is a good time to remind everyone that aggro-meters are only giving you an idea about the dps you're putting out and that there are perfectly fine reasons for a healer, specially a WHM with those big heals, to be at the top of the aggro-list in such a fight - healing-aggro and aggro-dropping tools being only two of those.

Aye, I am very aware that healing generates enmity, as well as the fact that other jobs also have skills to lower hate. I've only ever taken the in-game aggro rating as a rough indication, however, I stayed in the top 3 for a long time. A healer should not be that high up. D:

Math.

Fking... MATH.

I flunked out of math in school.

Stop forcing me to do math in the middle of a boss battle!!!!!!!

ANNNND I just got out of a lakshmi trial(AGAIN), and one of the SCHs died early on... The living SCH left their cohealer on the floor for 80% of the fight, but kept raising the DPS that were dying.

It's then that I noticed their macro said "raise on --------, as long as it's not a lalafell."

Now I admit if someone dies like 5+ times to the same thing, I'll leave them on the floor after a while, buuuuut... This is much more petty. @__@

Edit cause I don't wanna make a new post:

I was in the FC house of one of my alts and I was listening to the Oblivion orchestrated version, and taking screenshots to celebrate 70.

My Shinryu queue popped, and I forgot to switch my chest piece.

Lol Surprisingly only got close to dying one time, to the proximity aoe damage during the add phase.

I'm a little awful too I guess lmao.

I've never had that problem. Whenever I play AST, I always forget to set my sect at the start (summons persist through instances, why don't stances???) and I usually only do card stuff at the beginning of a fight and then get distracted and forget about that entire mechanic.

...

Ugh... Sometimes I really wish I could just remove a class from my armoury. It would be for public benefit, really. Picking up AST was my second biggest mistake (BRD was the first) and now OCD won't let me NOT level it and do its story because I've already started.

Main reason i stopped leveling AST after hitting 50. I just dont have the patience to deal with that.

Well, found a real hones troll in Ridorana...
During Belias, Astro was *sprinting* around cleaving the room with the timestop chains and actively turning the clock bombs towards the middle.
When he was called out for it, he pretty much admitted to trolling by saying "have you guys no humor?" among other such things.

After he was kicked out, his friends initiated a vote abandon immediately after a ready check started. You know, where the "yes" buttons line up pretty well so if you're clicking one at a bad time you end up clicking the other one... And when that didn't go through, they left the instance. Think there were 2 or 3 more in that party.

/sigh/

On the topic of Astro cards:
I have a hard time picking a healer when going alone into an instance that's going to have two. Always because I'm afraid of stacking.

If it's two White Mages, there are going to be no shields. And I really really like shields.
If it's two Scholars, someone's shields are going to be redundant.
If it's two Astrologians, oh god the potential awkwardness of overwriting cards. It's not even always me not remembering to pay attention to whether cards are active atm (something I'm already bad at), but I also have some terribly bad luck with the following happening constantly:
co-astro has their cards set. I have my cards set. I wait for co-astro to card. No card. "Huh, guess they're waiting for me to do it. Ok, here goes." We press our card buttons within less than a second of each other.

TT_TT

In all fairness, you have the ability to switch sects too. If theyre stubborn and refuse to switch, which admittedly is a d**k move, make the change yourself. No one died from an excess of teamwork

I wonder if the devs can bother doing anything about this- because it's pretty /facepalm in 24-man raids when you get put into a party with the same type of healer but look over at the other 2 parties and see that one or both don't have said type of healer. Or even more hilarious is that another party also has a double healer type composition, ie: your party has 2 ASTs and another party has 2 SCHs...

I understand that for 8-man DF content matching you really have no idea what's in the queue, but when you can see the compositions of the other 2 parties in your alliance, it really can leave you wanting some kind of system that can circumvent these awkward match-ups.

To be fair, once you're in combat you're locked to only one stance. Some AST just seem to love not picking up a sect before combat and once they decide to pick a sect, it's a sect already taken by their co-AST or Nocturnal if the co-healer is SCH. IMO, that kind of AST is the one without any sense of teamwork.

I seem to get lots of Rabanastre whenever I run Alliance Roulette. Last run I was in had the main tank that seemed to be in a hurry that they'd pull before even ensuring that everyone was in arena eventhough there was at least one new person to the raid. Yes, yes, we no longer get locked out of the fight but it was simply annoying when someone was impatient like that.

So I decided to run a 50/60 on my alt character (on Sch) since she was more than ready to go on that. "What's the worst that can happen," right? I got Keeper of the Lake.

*Inhales*

The tank kept solo pulling, even after I asked for them to pull more. They were also all over the place, came the final boss, until I had told them they could stand in the negligible Granite Rain and leave the DPSing of the Astraea adds to the rest of us. The tank also tanks the first boss in the middle of the room, so everything exploded and I had to heal through it all, and spend that much less time helping with the DPS. They also took forever to grab the adds off of me during the second boss.

The DPS was slow, even with my help. Sam and Blm whose gear was totally decent. Trash should have melted, but didn't. Bosses should have gone down, but took a while. We wiped once to Mid because I, alone, couldn't kill the second Astraea in time, or even as the two dps finally got the hint that the add was there and they needed to kill it. The dps also kept standing in shit and dying to things that not even a critlo could have saved them from, so gg on that, but I otherwise kept everyone alive.

After the one wipe, three of us got back to the final boss arena, and I looked at the map to where the Blm was. They were running the whole way it seemed, so I said "Hey, so you know, there's a shortcut at the start that you can take to get to us faster." Cue the Blm running back and forth on a couple levels of the map, and me beginning to wonder if this Blm could tell the difference between their monitor and their buttcheeks.

When we finally made it past Mid, I got no comms for my efforts. Swell.

Another DRK tale – I’ve slowly made my way through enough of HW that I finally unlocked the Alex raids. Figured I’d go ahead and just get them out of the way, since I hate having those blue quest markers and I like the raid roulette. Went into A5N, and I believe at least half of the party were brand new to the fight. Nobody spoke up and went none of the mechanics were done, we all wiped. Immediately, my co-DRK left.
That’s when I started talking with the group and found out that most of the party either didn’t know mechanics or forgot them. Rather than get mad, I took the time to explain the syringe mechanics and what to do. While doing this, a PLD queued in – we ate another wipe due to the bombs being too close, but it was at 8%, rather than wiping at 87% with the previous tank. I did my best to encourage everyone and clarified some more things about mechanics. And you know what?

We cleared.

Sometimes, all it takes is communication from one or two people. The players that were in that run, I was the sprout DRK. Thank you guys for hanging in there. The five comms I got are nice, but I’m happier that I was able to help you guys get this clear.

BSing with people in Battle on the Big Bridge while a first-timer watched the cutscene. Someone brought up how they want Gilgamesh and Yojimbo to meet up at some point. Another person thought it would make a great fight to duke it out with both of them at the same time.

I replied "Greg/Jim OTP."

I think I broke a couple of people.

You can't switch sects in combat. My main complaint is that I pick a sect (I prefer Noct), and they stand there without one, the tank pulls, and then they decide to select a sect...in this instance, it was also Noct sect. I don't understand why it's so difficult to at least glance at the party list and see "Oh, the other AST already has Noct up, so I'll do Diurnal" or vise-versa.

This is also particularly annoying when I'm on SCH and the AST also go Noct sect. I've had this happen many times, and they've never apologized for it. It's fairly annoying in 24-mans when I'll explicitly say "Hey, uh, you will need to go Diurnal sect because AST shields won't stack with SCH shields", and they continue in Noct for the entirety of the raid...

You gotta communicate then, not just assume they know. If they have no sect chosen, speak up! Ask what sect they are going to use so the team doesnt have wasted sects (they may be unaware that two of the same sects isnt a good thing) same with SCH, let them know noct sect overrwrites sch shields and if they would be a sport and switch to diurnal. As you pointed out about your SCH/AST team, that guy was just being a tosser.

Communication is key, here. At least that shows if its someone who genuinely doesnt know or if they are someone who belongs on the blacklist.

Communication only works if the other person listens.

And will always fail if they never listen. There's a reason I also hate being paired with other ASTs.

Couple months back I had a Sigma 2.0 normal where I'm in Noct and the other AST only bothers choosing a sect after the boss gets pulled. Their choice? Noct.

Communication doesn't work if the other person doesn't listen. The many times I've responded in the past, I've been met with "Well I don't like the other sect!" or nothing but silence. I'll never forget the O7N I had where the other AST refused to use Diurnal sect, once again, choosing a sect after we'd already pulled Guardian, and then complaining at me the entire time for how they should have Noct because they don't like Diurnal. Again, you cannot switch sects in combat, so effectively telling them to switch in the middle of a trial or 8-man does literally nothing, since, if they were going to switch, they can't. Unless the group wipes.

And blacklists don't prevent random matching, so adding them to my blacklist effectively does nothing. It would be petty anyways. I don't blacklist save for actual harassment/toxicity.

Once I was running Alliance Roulette on SCH and I ended up with an AST. They went Noct and when I informed them that our shields would overwrite each other and they should consider going into Di to make things easier, they responded with, "It's not my fault you chose to be SCH. Next time you should be more considerate of who you might get as a healing partner and go WHM or AST so you're not such a burden." Thankfully they were removed pretty quick, but...crazy ASTs are out there, lol.

This hurts my heart of the cards.

What a terrible AST and just overall rude person, I can't believe that even happened to you ><

So I'm leveling monk for funzies, roulette gives me Dzemael Darkhold. Load in with a paladin, black mage, and a healer whose class I can't remember. Right as we get to the first crystal section, I notice everything is dying kinda slowly. I'm still fumbling with the monk rotation (especially AoE), so I didn't stop to question it. I looked up after the mobs died to find that the healer left altogether. Cue fifteen minutes of random emoting waiting for the next one.

The next healer, an astrologian, shows up. Near as I can tell, she was watching Netflix while playing, or multitasking some other way. I've never had the tank die on so many trash pulls before. Then again, I also never saw a single cooldown from the tank. It's hard to tell who was at fault there. I managed to pop Bloodbath and pseudo-tank a couple of pulls, but we must have wiped 3 or 4 times on trash.

Oh, and everything still died slowly. We had 30 minutes left on the timer at the end. No idea what the black mage was doing.

I don't even know what just happened.

Load into WC as my wife and I have been trying to get the pet. 1st sign of trouble: Our tank shouts about his current state of sobriety, or lack thereof. Alrighty, gonna be one of THOSE runs. I'm on my WHM and prepare myself as best as I can.

Get to first boss, other party tank is holding aggro - fine. Our tank is standing in front of the boss fighting for aggro while eating the radius attacks... okie dokey. I'm certain he went into the fight in stance - but I noticed after he ripped established aggro, his stance was somehow magically gone. I just heal through it and see how long he's gonna tank in NO stance. We get through the boss and start on the trash...…

My wife says something about his stance on the zone to Forgall as he STILL didn't have it on. He again replies about his lack of sobriety. At this point I'm just ready for the lolz and kick back and watch it unfold. Again he rips aggro from the other tank who was actually doing ok - dying twice to megadeath, the 2nd of which I just let him lay there and think about what he had done. Forget about the add phase - which was a hot mess. I kept eyeballing the alliance bars and cringing at the lack of people still standing as I healed through the awful.

Get to Ozma... Amazed he didn't walk off the edge as he pulls before everyone is there. Tanks in the dead center of the platform, Why? Who knows. Thankfully he falls off rather quickly and the other tank takes control. He gets a rez (not from me) and proceeds to drop his meteor precisely where he had been tanking - causing us to nearly wipe as I blow through every CD and AoE heal I have. /Facepalm. Yet again, very few standing at the end of the fight - amazed we made it through with the terrible meteor placement.

Last boss, almost over.... He goes to MT but thankfully the other party tank keeps aggro over him. YET - he continues to stand in front and eat the cleaves and a few haircuts. I toss a regen on him and wish him godspeed as he eats pretty much every mechanic, along with one of the dps (same server turns out - guessing possibly queued together but can't prove that) He continues to fight for aggro through the fight, provoking and managing to occasionally grab the boss for a second before the other tank takes him back. Yet again, not many left standing when the boss dropped and our tank had managed to die to a Garotte so he was keeping the floor warm when we finally get through that mess.

Naturally, pet drops, neither myself or my wife roll over a 20 - par for the course. I leave there ASAP after loot is distributed and proceed to make room on my blacklist for 2 more players..... Bright side I leave with 5 coms, not sure it was worth the 40 minutes of nightmare fuel I had to suffer through to get it.

Ah, don't feel bad for me. I honestly find it just as funny now as I did back then. If anything, props to that party for having my back. I think one guy said "Jeez" and then the kick was launched and done with in about ten seconds.

Huh, I don't know what's with people lately.

Sometimes it's the players I'm not even talking to -.- And honestly, they seem to be the saltiest people ever, because a single sentence triggers them so much to the point they would constantly talk about it. When they start their show, I simply ignore them, but it's beyond annoying, it makes me look like I'm the bad guy of the movie just for asking something that would be benefitial for the group. :/

Thankfully they were removed pretty quick, but...crazy ASTs are out there, lol.

And what if we get a Diu AST that refuses to swap, what, should you just go SCH or AST... and then what if you get a double AST, and they tell you when they constantly overwrite your cards "Should have gone WHM or AST" - you can't win with their attitude. Glad they got their butt booted out pretty quickly. The point of AST is that it can adapt to shields or regens... you know, it's a bit of both. WHM and SCH can't swap. What I truly want to say about that ASS-T would get me banned.
