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

Thordan story mode. Me as mt and a war as ot. I pull and the war just sits there the WHOLE TIME. Doesn't even bother to put one hit on thordan. Talk about a lazy ass carry. I was hoping I was going to be able to rotate thordan to possibly cleave him to death, but he ran around with the dps so I couldn't.

AK HM for DREX just now:

DRK tank: No Darkside, no bloodprice, no CD.

This goes on until after the second boss, them doing small pulls and still losing aggro.

I'm debating telling them, but I'm on my first coffee and not really in the mood for the game of russian roulette that is telling someone, however kindly, that they are doing it wrong.

So, obviously, since they have finally popped Darkside after the second Boss (their first CD of the run) they run out of MP quickly on the first pack of mobs and lose hate. I use it as an opening to nudge them and say "Blood Price will help you regain that MP". The MCH chimes in too.

Their response, turn off Grit and use Blood Weapon after the packs are dead. Then pull the next pack out of tank stance with no MP.

At the last boss they say "Sorry, my buttons are all messed up" <-- I kind of doubt it, but hey, there are worse responses to get.

Me, "Thats OK, go ahead and take some time to set them up, I thought something was weird with no darkside or defensive CD, but that explains it."

They obv don't set it up and pull immediately in Darkside, but no Blood Price again, so they run out of MP. Also they start doing the thing where they pop every defensive CD at once, during periods of no damage. I was surprised that I didn't see a mentor crown above their head.

Doing Sohm Al for a chance at the Gaelikitten, get a PLD, DRG and...BRD, I think. The BRD has obviously queued up with someone else in the party, as she's typing things in the party chat. We go through the trash to the first boss, the BRD dc's midway through the last pull, and the tank goes "Noo, <BRD's name>", so they were obviously friends. No biggie, we can wait. We stand by the entrance to the first boss for a good 10 minutes when the vote dismiss window opens up. I click yes, because, from my own experience, if I dc and don't manage to get back in 10 minutes, it's not happening for a while. It goes through, and initially it seems the tank is fine with it too, until she pipes up with a "thanks for kicking my friend".

Now, I figured I could go with a diplomatic response, but since she wanted to be passive-aggressive I went with the classical "you're welcome". A replacement, another DRG, arrives seconds afterwards, and a vote abandon pops up, obviously from the tank. So I say that if she wants to leave, she can leave, the rest of us have no obligation to abandon a duty that we want to complete. "I'm not taking penalty just cuz you guys decided to kick someone who dc'd" is the answer. The replacement DRG basically says "boohooh", and the tank announces that she's not gonna do anything. So I decide to pull, the first boss doesn't really need tanking anyway, but what do you know, halfway through, the tank decides to join the fight. Awesome, done with attitude, right?

Nope, this is where she starts calling us bad people for kicking her friend and saying things like "it's a shame that people don't know how to play nice". I respond with a simple "Too bad your friend dced, but we can't possibly wait forever for her to come back. I've been kicked countless times, it's nothing to be upset about, suck it up". Eventually, the tank decides to just stand there doing nothing, so the DPS and I finish the last trash pack before the second boss, wait like 10 minutes for the tank to pull the boss and finally decide to take it down ourselves. A bit of a complication with the Chyme not dying, but otherwise nothing big and we decide to clear the trash up until the last boss in case the tank comes back. Nope, no response, so I ask "if we are bad people for kicking a player who's been offline for 10 minutes, then what are you for holding up the whole run for the rest of us?" before I initiate a kick against her. I have never seen a kick go through so quickly, I think. Ask a tank friend if he can join us, but he ends up in another party, ofc. We do get a WAR after some time tho, and we finally finish the duty after 50 minutes. And no Gaelikitten drop, of course.

Ha, running A5 just now for my Bolt, last I need for my NIN.

Finally roll above a 50 and get a 98.

Confident I finally have it. I go on giving the new player a few more leaving tips. Then I realize that I didn't hear the winning sound. Obviously the BLM who kept going for the bombs I said I would get, and who would deliberately not trip the Boost needle, even though he was always the first one running directly across the arena to it every time... He would deliberately run around the post, well obv he rolled a 99.

lol

And now a 92 that someone else rolled a 95 on. But he was the other healer who played well, so it feels better.

I queued up as SCH with a tank friend for level 60 roulette and ended up in Aetherochemical Research Facility. No bonus message, unfortunately. It's kind of whatever to me at this point to get that dungeon, because I know that between his pulls and my DPS we can demolish the place even if we get newbie DPS, much less if we get people that know what they're about. He queues PLD so he can use Protect, leaving me able to keep SS and still use Blizzard II. Immediately upon seeing what dungeon it is and the lack of a bonus message, the Black Mage ragequits. We didn't even wait for another DPS to replace him, just started demolishing the first pull with what we had. A DPS joins 5-10 seconds into the first pull, catches up with us, and we then proceed to steamroll the place in under 19 minutes. Silly BLM could've saved himself about 1/3 of that half hour lockout by just running it. :3

You're just getting lucky and getting people that either don't notice your bad play, don't care about it, or aren't willing to say anything to random strangers in DF. If I ran into you in a dungeon and you played like that, I would probably ask you outright to use WM because it's a pretty big DPS gain. If you refused, it's even odds on whether we'd initiate a vote kick or just carry you. That would depend on who I'm queued with, really. I don't mind carrying people that are newer or just gearing up. I do mind carrying people that outright refuse to play their class to the best of their ability. Even if we did just choose to leave you alone and carry, you can bet that we'd be bitching in FC or on voice chat about how heavy the awful bard we had in roulette was.

If the BRD sucked, they just sucked, regardless of WM. Demanding WM from a BRD who doesn't have practice with it will not make your DF any quicker, and getting pissed will make it seem long regardless of actual time elapsed.

At 120% boost, WM was an acknowledged DPS loss. At 130% boost, it's a gain, but the difference between 120% and 130% is only 8%. So, looking at it simplistically, you can expect less than 8% boost with extra complexity and unreliability. If the BRD is not all that good to begin with, I think you might want them to stick with non-WM.

I don't have WM on my bar because I don't find it to be fun (makes the combat system worse than it already was). After all these years, my muscles are way too twitchy on my mouse hand, and it cancels too many actions. The only content I haven't attempted and completed yet is Thordan ex, Seph ex, and savage modes (no interest). The only person to ask me about using WM was a tank who couldn't even hold aggro from me until I slowed down use of my buffs (using quelling strikes when available) in a regular dungeon. WM would have made that worse. This was right around the time of HW release. Other than that, no complaints or comments.

Man I always get really twitchy when I see bad bards.
I have a headache now. I'm going to go lay down.

I'm at a loss for words about what I read here. As a Bard main myself, this is just complete BS.

The only time I see it acceptable to not have WM on is if you're synced down to 52 or 53. The damage gain is not significant and you don't have the WM-only skills available anyways.

But to me bards without WM are nearly as bad as scholars with their fairies on sic (especially Eos). I die a little inside each time I come across them.

52 bolts deep into running A6N this week. Still have yet to roll higher than 50 on any. >.>

[EDIT] Got my bolt. :D Begged my friends for a pity party. They finally caved. I solo healed and we burned everything. I rolled a 91 on the bolt, LOL. MY SUFFERING HAS ENDED.

I also had one party not that long ago. We had a very egotistical BLM. Ripped hate from the tank on the first boss, made me waste 3k MP on a raise, just to return to the start and complain. On the last boss we had both the tanks and the healer go down to Ultra flash, so I had to quickly raise a tank. We ended up wiping 'cause I was spamming heals too hard to move to the water tower. BLM started to insult the tanks and healers, so he got vote dismissed pretty quickly. XD

98 lost to a 99
92 to a 95
More sub 50s than I care to admit
finally won on a 92.

Ninja and Heals done, one more bolt on a tank, then I am free to roll on everything and take what I get.

To be free again...

But really, you should call on some friends to pad your chances. Get a pity bolt at this point.

In one of my runs a tank auto quit. The other tank said they would solo it. In my tired reflexes it seems I was leader, and hit find new people, the new tank won it...
Also after a couple days of extremely low rolls on the bolt, I went to A7 and rolled a 94 on the lens no one else wanted. RNG is a cruel mistress.

*Backs away from Selli slowly*
I got my bolt in one run for the past 3 weeks lol

I had a tank in my 60 Roulette who insisted on speed pulling Arboretum all the way to the roadblocks with a BRD and NIN.

Very rarely used cooldowns and our Ninja was not performing well. We get to Rose Garden and end up fighting her for nearly 8 minutes and she continues to pull the turtle group and ant group to the Honeycomb.

We ended up wiping to trash there.

So, in an attempt to make the dungeon go by faster, she actually did the opposite and increased the dungeon run time by 10 minutes. 10/10, would heal again.

Void Ark on BLM. DPS composition was
6 BLMs
2 summoners
2 ninja
4 bards
1 monk
Amount of Requiems sung: 0.
Life of a caster ;_;

Just had a WHM telling me how bad I am at tanking because they refused to not regen me right before my pulls, leading to a lot of aggro I couldn't get because they never stopped running away from my AoE-enmity-generator.

I love tanking but sometimes the harassment makes wanna hate it.

Midas Normal in a partial premade was a comedy of errors tonight. I needed drops from everything but 6, so it's a mixed bag.

• Both healers DPS'ing during Perpetual Ray. RIP me.
• Healer DPS'ing during healer cage + Uplander Doom. RIP me.
• OT provoking after I've already eaten Gobstraight and lived by the grace of the healers.
• OT not even provoking after Gobstraight kills me and the boss murders 2 DPS.
• DPS totally ignoring the Padlock on the DPS cage in favor of burning the boss.
• DPS totally ignoring the True Heart add until I mark it and pull the boss away.
• DPS totally ignoring the Steam Regulator/Steam Gasket adds. Fastest A8 wipe I've ever seen.
• DPS stacking on me with Sizzlebeam. Why would you ever stack on the MT?
• DPS stacking on me with Zoomdoom. Why would you ever stack on the MT?
• Baddie stacks everywhere (bleeds and/or vulns). Standing in stupid ftw.
• I roll like shit so the awful people take all my stinkin drops. =.=

And people wonder why I hate doing my weekly stuff outside of a premade. xD

I got a Gladiator tank in Stone Vigil. I was DRG and the other was a BRD and healer was a SCH. It went okay...ish. And the only one he had more HP than was the BRD. I had at least 200 more than him. Everytime there was more than one monster, the one's he wasn't attacking made a bee line straight for the healer or Eos. The bosses went okay, he held aggro on them, but he was just so squishy. We told him to level up CNJ to 15 and get the PLD job. But he didn't say anything so it'd hard to tell if was listening.

I've been in parties with another WHM (WHM myself) who constantly use Regen and Medica II outside of battles. It really makes me hate them because I'm worried that everyone else will think it's me doing it. I really hope everyone notices which WHM is doing that.

Doing M2 normal as PAL MT. Get to the 2nd boss tell the DRK swap at 3 please their response yep! Get to 3 stacks.... 4......5 tank buster dead me.

Also had another DRK do this on purpose because of the new trend of ignoring the tank swaps -_- and used me as a test hamster. What's funny is I joined in progress while they were in the middle of discussing it telling the DRK that they see it ALLLL the time and think he can handle it. Well looks like they got their answer :c

I once had a run where there were so many mages - 2 BLMs and a SMN in my own party, 2-3 more in party B and party C was nothing but SMNs. And I was the only bard in the whole alliance. I did what I could but I only have so much MP. ;_;

Had a trial roulette a while back... I want to say it was Ifrit, but frankly I don't remember which one now, nor much of the party. Except this one guy that disconnects right off the bat (legit DC). So while we're waiting for him to come back, somebody gets impatient and pulls. People slowly join in and we eventually finish and leave before he returns :/ Anyway: moral of the story, you can do that trial without needing Massive Damage.

All of those trials can be done short people, they are geared for around ilvl 60-80, and you sync into it at 130 isn't it? Or are those 110? They are pretty mellow nowadays. Have fun and charge if someone leaves or whatever.


Though I see sooo many people making the most basic mistakes in ruda hm nowadays, it isn't the beautiful runs seen during light farming.

It took me almost two years, but I developed a passive trait of Stoneskin that negates all incoming harassments. It sucks, but it's better than engaging with such talks.

Bards. Please use Paean on other party members that are debuffed. Relieve some stress from your healers. It's instant cast now man. :(

Had a Void Ark run where a few deaths could have been avoided if other bards threw out Paean to cure DoTs away. I was even using my own Paean to save another Bard in my party from the brink of death several times at the puke boss, but he never seemed to get the message or didn't even have the skill on the hotbar.

Although I can't exactly blame them as the skill was pretty useless before 3.2.

Bard is my secondary, and I'll admit I'm guilty of this. I completely forgot the skill changed. Thanks for the reminder!

Sorry, read that before my morning coffee. And you never know with some of the posts you see.

Haukke NM. The warrior doesn't have Defiance active, so the healer asks for it. No answer, no reaction. We all shrug it off and deal with everyone except the tank tanking. After the second boss the healer has a DC, we kill the Ahriman mob without them, then wait for them and finally kick them after 5 minutes. Literally two seconds after the kick went through, the warrior uses Defiance.
http://i.imgur.com/YDhzXsp.jpg

Just had two groups in a row with unbelievable folks.
Stone Vigil: One DPS was constantly going afk without saying anything. He would go afk in the middle of fights, get hit by all the AoEs, and when one mob died, didn't move to the next one.

We were all poking him and asking if he was afk. No response. Continued from the beginning to the boss. Had trouble kicking him because he wouldn't roll on loot.

Praetorium: The other WHM was extremely impatient and was pulling all the mobs by running straight into them, casting Holy before the tank. Several times they almost died, and would have if I hadn't healed them.
The tank was not going slowly by any means, but this WHM was just super in a hurry for some reason.
Right before the final boss(es), someone (probably the WHM) initiated a vote kick on the tank, who had been working their butt off to keep aggro off this WHM.
Of course the vote immediately failed.
So during the last 3 fights the WHM simply stood there and did nothing.

EX Roulette, got Antitower.

First few pulls in there can't be chain pulled, so the mob size is pretty small. Healer starts yelling at me to pull more, saying I can handle it with my gear. I respond that I can't pull more, and they start rattling off insults on how if I can't handle mass pulling I should "deinstall." Got a good laugh out of that one.

And then after the first boss I start pulling as much as possible (you know, when the dungeon actually let's you pull more than one group) and I tell the healer "See? I can handle large pulls, you just literally cannot chain pull those first mobs." Then the healer says I could only handle the pulls because they were such a good healer, and then called me a certain slur. Luckily our DPS were decent people and we vote kicked the healer. I then continued to full pull until we got to the boss, and survived through use of CDs and based Clemency, before we got a new healer. Credit to those DPS too for their amazing damage (also helping me survive).

A few days ago I went into Antitower for the first time with my WHM. Right off the bat, this happens:

Me: First time, watched a guide
Tank: Worry not
Tank: For the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

I got a really good laugh out of it X'D

Onto another story: First time in Lost City of Amdapor Hard and I say the same thing as above. Everyone's fine with it and the WAR proceeds to do massive pulls. I'm normally fine with them, but the WAR popped no cooldowns, UNLESS he was on the verge of dying. His HP kept dipping to the point where most tanks would have popped their ultimate defense CD (he never popped Holmgang btw) so many times, and I was just thinking, "this guy must really trust me". And to make matters worse, I haven't played since the end of Heavensward, so my gear is outdated now and it felt like my dps and heals were doing nothing. The NIN and BLM were on point, except at one point the BLM got hit by some AOEs and I just couldn't spare any heals on anyone but the tank, so the BLM died. I felt really bad because it was obvious he was waiting for a ress, but I had no MP or CDs to restore it. BLM joins up with us and apologizes, but I know that was partially my fault as well. We're able to finish the run with no other deaths and some super sweaty hands. The WAR had a mentor crown... :(

Last night ST fun fight, we didn't realize we were missing a dps until Amon since we burn everything too fast XD Another is in WoD everything was smooth until Cloud of Darkness, 2 wipes due to meteors and no one wack the snakes. Everyone was cool since hey it's been a long time they are doing CT.

I just had the best Titan HM run since my first one. I was doing my Gae Bolg quest and this was the last part so I was a little relaxed. Made it to the final phase with no problems, then I jumped into three Weight of the Lands and died. And everything went down hill from there. The tanks and healers were on point though. But yeah, for the first time since I started leveling I really felt like a true Dragoon.

Oh, I have another one. A typical 'tank doesn't accept advice' one.

Ok, so I queued up for lvl50 roulette as Mach earlier today. Got The Keeper of the Lake. I've been getting that one pretty often lately, so I thought it would be a smooth run.

As usual, I couldn't have been more wrong.

We had a green leaf, a Warrior tank. 7.7k hp, seemed pretty ok-ish. Until I noticed that was his hp with Defiance *on*. Checked his gear, 110 left side (which is decent) but a mess on the right side, so low Vit for that point. 'Ok', I thought. 'If he knows his job well (which you should at least be half decent at when you hit that point in the story), it shouldn't be an issue...' Oh boy...

Pops literally every cd he has before a pull, doesn't even bother to grab aggro off the healer (who had to heal a bunch due to said idiotic cd usage) and caused us to wipe on the second trash mob group because of that. Ok, retry, being more careful now. First boss, again a near wipe because he kept spinning like a ballerina, getting all the containers hit in the process. We pulled through, but not with me and the other dps going down due to all the explosions.

Next set of trash, I start to notice a pattern. He pulls with Tomahawk, but doesn't follow up with either Flash or Overpower. So, aggro is bouncing everywhere again. Second boss, tank manages to die twice, even though the healer is consta-healing. I end up tanking for the last 25% of that fight.

Surprisingly, no issues with the mobs leading up to Midgardsormr. However, this is where the 'fun' begins, the boss fight itself. Despite explaining mechanics, he kept facing the dragons to the rest of the party, causing us to take damage that would normally be avoided. Also, despite saying that he should step into the barrier when the obvious wipe mechanic appears, he stubbornly stayed outside of it. We wiped, tried again, wiped *again*. Now, me, the other dps and the healer were getting pretty pissed at this point (the tank got enough chances already), so we decided to shove some tanking advice into the chat. Now, admittedly, we might not have gone about it in the most calm way (swearing was not involved, but you could read between the lines that patience was running thin), but the tank decides to take this opportunity harass the entire party, swearing at us and everything. Vote dismiss for harassment, went through in less than 5 secs.

Got a new tank within 5 mins and, after explaining to the tank what happened, we cleared with no issues.

Seriously, once you reach Keeper of the Lake, you should know how to tank.

Oh geez, I'm reminded of one.

A6 in DF. I'm in there as PLD, and the DRK who was in there decides to MT. I don't mind taking OT, since it's technically better for PLD to OT right now. After the first fight, it's pretty clear though that the tank doesn't have a lot of experience with tanking in large groups, or with persistent AoE enemy abilities. But before I can advise that he needs to move the boss and position him such that the melee DPS can access its rear and flank, the BLM snarks about how great the tanking was to not accommodate the MNK's positionals.

We move along, and get to Swindler. Enumeration goes off, and someone who was new sees the marker over their head and runs away, and gets nuked. We bring them back up, and I explain that they need to run in so we can stack as needed. Next one goes off, hits the same person, and we stack in appropriately (or we think we do - someone must have miscounted). Half the group nearly dies, and the BLM and his FC Scholar friend start berating the casuals, saying they should just ignore mechanics and burn the boss. They say it's easier--then we all take a hit from his Enumeration (he didn't move because lolcasuals) and nearly wipe, and I reply "evidently mechanics do matter."

We fumble our way through the last boss (I don't believe the DRK properly knew what a tank swap was), the BLM complaining the entire time about how bad casuals are, and how they ruin the game--just some classic WoW dick-waggling. At the end, their FC healer thanks them for their "epic dps," which prompts them to post the damage parse in /p, and then tell everyone, "you're casuals; just accept it." As if that somehow makes us inferior.

Reported them both because parser abuse (and just shitty attitudes), but man, that was not a good night. I know I'm "casual" right now, but that doesn't make me a subpar player, just means that I don't have 20+ hours a week to dedicate to the game. I'm generally pretty laid-back, but nothing gets under my skin quite like an elitist who lords their lack of a life over other players and fails to remember their own roots.

I just finished running some midas with two friends because they still needed drops.

A3, I guess tanks missed a tank swap (there is one, right?) so MT died and I was tanking as a monk, until the OT realized that I wasn't actually a tank.
This happened two times. In two different groups.

A4, everything seems going fine until the add phase where the two tanks have to tank different stuff.
For whatever reason, one of the tanks decided to run all the way through the platform to reach the other tank with the add following him/her and the tree unfortunate melee running after them.:mad:
As soon as both adds were close together, one started to use that tank damage attack; unfortunately tank decided to abruptly turn around resulting in all of us melee dead. (It was the yellow flash, idk if it was the tank buster or group share).

Luckily, both friends got their drops. I don't think I would have lasted for other turns. And tomorrow everything restarts again. Yay.

They sound like the kind of shitters that can't actually compete, so they compare themselves to casuals players instead.

This happened two times. In two different groups.

You actually don't have to swap if your healers aren't asleep at the wheel. Unfortunately, many of them in DF seem to be.

A4, everything seems going fine until the add phase where the two tanks have to tank different stuff.
For whatever reason, one of the tanks decided to run all the way through the platform to reach the other tank with the add following him/her and the tree unfortunate melee running after them.:mad:

Stacking the adds is pretty standard practice so SMN/SCH can Bane. I usually tank both adds so my WAR friend can DPS.

As soon as both adds were close together, one started to use that tank damage attack; unfortunately tank decided to abruptly turn around resulting in all of us melee dead. (It was the yellow flash, idk if it was the tank buster or group share).

Sounds like they turned the single cannon into the party or there weren't enough people stacked for double cannon.
