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

Leveling roulette. The Sunken Temple of Quarn.
Cast: me as DRK, one AST, one NIN, one MCH.
Long story short, no bees were harmed in this run. ALL of them died using final sting. And AST generated more enmity by healing than two DDs by doing their work. That is pulling all the trash in vicinity, standing in AoE and throwing knives from afar.

...Wow. Dumb meets dumb...

This is pretty much how I imagine tanks and healers in D/F at this point;

Today I got Aetherochemical with me on SCH, a PLD, a BRD, and a BLM. The bard played Foe's. I was spreading dots on every pull. It was a fantastic, smooth run - about 22 min. The PLD ran right out so I got to comm that bard. Hope he got the other dps comm too!

I just had Titan Extreme run as a DRK.. At one point on the last phase, everybody except me, SCH, and BRD fell off and we actually 3 manning Titan Extreme. I need to put grit off to free SCH from gaol and sacrificing the bard for like 2 times during that repeating process, then we hit Titan's enrage with 13k upheavel from the center.

After a few tries later, the godly scholar fell off from upheavel and the other healer died from the superbomb with titan's hp <10%.. I popped walking dead at that point and with no healer, we actually cleared titan with me being dead the right moment after we killed Titan.

This fight feels so glorious..

Tried to do a levelling roulette on my PLD, with my niece as my WHM. We're both 55, but we get Dzamael Darkhold. With a 60 SMN and a 46 MNK.

MNK is using Fist of Wind instead of Fire, but...okay. I can kinda see why. The SMN is using Bio, Bio 2, and Ruin. Her Ifrit is running after the floating eyeball boss when he's not a boss. When she remembers to use Bane, I'm fairly certain she's spreading Bio only.

First boss. The floaty eyeball one. With the crystals. It took 4 crystal clusters to kill him. Why? Because the MNK is killing the adds instead of the boss. One. At. A. Time. The SMN was....I don't know what she was doing. Ruin. I think that was it.

I opted to eat a penalty.

(We also discovered that the MNK was wearing her 45 job hat, pants, the black summer halter (NOT a glamour), a level 9 ring, a level 11 earring, and a level 39 DoM ring. Oh, and her weapon.)

Come on now. Whatever other issues there may be, don't criticize the killing of adds because you know there are times that the adds try to eat the healers when they get ignored. ;-)

Seriously though, killing adds shouldn't be a bad thing unless there's a specific need to keep them alive. It's a good thing to handle adds because I see more disasters when adds get ingored than when they get killed.

Currently doing the "Toughening Up" quest for my bard anima.

Snowcloak: Multiple wipes to trash because the tank decided to do huge pulls that the healer obviously couldn't handle.

Sastasha HM: Astro kept precasting diurnal sect Aspected Benefic on us before every pull, ninja used no mudras, and the tank didn't use Unleash on multiple mobs or Power Slash on bosses which caused me to rip hate on stuff and die.

Qarn HM: went super smooth. Really great group kinda wish they could have stayed with me for the whole questline ;;

Keeper: Some dicey pulls but we did okay. Tank died cause he was out of LoS. I died in the middy fight cause I repelling shot out of the safety bubble >.>

Wanderers HM: Healer did not fully heal myself and the other bard when we got hit with doom. We both obviously died :l

Amdapor HM: Tank rage quit at the first pull cause he died. Three manned it until my boyfriend came in right as we were about to kill Ferdiad. I appreciate him coming in though <3

That was all I cared to do for today cause dps queues kinda suck.

So I recently got a new video card and decided I'd try my hand at recording this game. Downloaded Open Broadcasting Software and decided to test it out with a Final Steps of Faith run.

I queued in as Bard, and I ended up getting an in-progress run. The result? FREAKING AMAZING in every possible way. Not only did the quality completely surpass my expectations (view fullscreen, you see EVERYTHING), but I end up in a party where I'm actually useful - with all the other DPS being black mages.

Go to fullscreen so you can read the chat. Also please ignore my creepy chuckling at the start, I wasn't aware it would pick up my microphone. That's what test videos are for I guess.

I left the run with four comms. >_>
