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

"Why is your name Lady Zelda? Zelda is the guy in the green suit right?"

"No that's Link."

"Oh, that's right. I forgot."

-Finger hovering over exit game - nononono -deep breathing- -remember the reason you put Lady Zelda - -breathe-

"It's okay. I get asked this many times. It's not a big deal."

I intentionally make this "mistake" because I know people get unreasonably mad about it :)

When I was known as "Zinnia Higana" I got a few discussions about how Salamence was terrible, and a lot of questions about how much rule 34 of Zinnia I'd seen. 'Twas fun. :)

Also I have a macro for Battle Litany which reads
"Let's get critical!"
{Battle Litany} going out!
(Kelly is not responsible for aggro lost to BLMs)

Naturally, BLMs love it.

The exact same thing happened to me in Syrcus Tower a while ago. I waited to see if they would choose a sect and they didn't, so I went with Diurnal. Then they went with Diurnal and I was forced to switch. They also liked to overwrite my cards, too. :(

I think in that same run (it may have been a different one) they also said they weren't going to be doing any healing as they were eating dinner.

You're completely right and way too logical lol - I guess we all just get too caught up in our gaming worlds, I know i'm guilty of taking things too personally a lot of the time. Considering what OP said they said to her though, I do hope they got a similar punishment.

Tbf, i've watched a video (early one with no commentary) once or twice and actually run it about 6 (with 1 victory lol) so i'm probably in no position to say how it should be done... But from what i've seen it makes more sense for the OT to pick them up. They don't seem to hit too hard, as long as the healers notice you! :P Although yeah, i've picked them up as a squishy BRD a few times when no one else was doing it >.<

"How dirty are you?"

"How dirty are your paws?"

"Clean those paws"

"Clean those ####ing paws you dirty #####"

I used to have this problem too, but I found a good solution for it, which is called communication. When I got another AST as my co-healer last time in Void Ark, I immediately spoke up and asked "I wanna go Diurnal, you okay with Nocturnal?" She was okay, picked Nocturnal, and from this point on the chat was full of things like "AOE balance ready" or "your AOE arrow -> my power balance" or even "gonna use {Collective Unconscious}". We had about 90% cardbuff uptime and never overwrit one another, it was a breeze.

Higher level content where tanks have a tank stance, better hate generation overall, and more DPS classes have AoE abilities? I think the example was Sastasha - dungeon #1. And I'm just sitting here thinking - wait, AoE in Sastasha? That's a thing?
