Temp of Quarn. hard version unlocks manually, so dude, who does not know about unlocks would not able to unlock it.
Basic one (I talked about at first) has no big deal about having or not the regen, coz its level 35, many new players even have no idea about this spell exists, coz they just got it (or did not complete 35 level quests)

I'm perfectly happy to assume so of a sprout. Less so of an experienced player who should have figured out long past how to prevent that from happening.

You get your first Poetics for Level 50 content. Funny how you assume every player will have full tomestone gear in level 50 content then but they all ignored job quests

I fail to see how ANY of your rambling has anything to do with unequipping a jobstone.

My first Conjurer experience was exactly when I forgot to equip my jobstone, coz when you queue with a group, game does not ask u jobs or roles, it just silently queue with current set.

The 35 one is just does not matter, coz its not a big deal on 35 level to be whm or to be conjurer.

1. Get jobstone

3. Change terrible hotbar layout
4. Save gearset
5. Put gearset in your macro jobchange list & overwrite your class macro
6. ????
7. Profit

Not biting on your 1000th try to reason that staying on a job is ok. It's griefing

Nah, I'd give it, 6 times out of 10 it's someone who haven't done their job quest, 3 times it's someone griefing, 1 time out of 10 is someone who made the mistake, the first two should be actively reprimanded, and if the latter happens, they should leave the instance themselves and take responsibility for their mistake.

Also Level 35 CNJ is also missing Presence of Mind, it's a level 30 WHM ability, it's not a healing tool but it is still an extraordinarily useful part of your kit, and is essentially WHM's 2min buff.

on 35 level maybe, on level 50 prob not. and nuuh 35 level dungeon designed the way people make these mistakes with stones, The Bee would delete the tank even with regen and presence of mind.

More like \Videos\Typical DF moments x) I convert them into gifs later if I find them worthy

Had one of the odder runs of Seal Rock from today's spam.

Basically there are a lot instances of my teammate simply not bothering to cap the nodes. Usually there are at least 3-5 other players hot on heels for the nodes. Not that I'm complaining, as I've been actively trying to get that Keeper of Knowledge title since forever, and I finally got mine from my last run!

A cursed run of Haukke Manor: Starring a 32 DRK who wears lv 12 gear + crafting gear in Haukke Manor. Their HP was dropping pretty fast even with mitigation on single pulls.

When tank gear drops from the treasure chest and no one rolls for quite a while, I ask people to please roll so the tank can gear up. Tank proceeds to pass the free upgraded gear and say "2 low for me here >;]"
DPS (who apparently is a casual healer main) says "tank is higher level than the gear", "do you not have regen at this level?", "Tank isn't a tank main.", "If anything, my gear is more of a shocker it is a mess".

b r u h so much to unpack...
Hakkuke Manor syncs to lv 30, so first, I have no access to regen (Lv 35 skill).
Secondly, it doesn't matter if the tank is higher level than the gear if the gear they are wearing doesn't give any defenses.

For a comparison... The Lv 25 Crafter headpiece Silver magnifiers they were wearing gives 13 DEF, 27 MDEF. Manor Elmo (The Helmet) the dungeon dropped gave 61 DEF, 61 MDEF.
The Lv 12 Disciple of War bottoms they wore gave 36 DEF, 36 MDEF. The Manor Breeches the dungeon dropped gave 82 DEF, 82 MDEF.
The Lv 30 Crafter top Velveteen Gown gave 22 DEF, 43 MDEF. The Lv 28 Manor chestpiece gave 82 DEF, 82 MDEF.
The Lv 20 Crafter footwear Initiate's Thighboots gave 11 DEF, 22 DMEF. The Lv 28 Manor Sandals gave 61 DEF, 61 MDEF.

Do you want to know what the Lv 15 Hall of Novice tank gear stats are? The chestpiece and bottoms gives 49 DEF, 49 MDEF, the feet gives 37 DEF, 37 MDEF. Yep, I was healing a tank who had even less defense than a geared up lv 15 Satasha tank in a dungeon twice that level. Crafter gear also doesn't provide any HP bonuses as well.

I understand they're trying to defend their friend when they say they aren't a tank main, but their justification to not gearing up... only makes their friend look even worse??? Gearing up is not tank-only experience. Every job and role has to gear up. Even the MSQ tells you to gear up. Heck... not even just tank gear, any ARR disciple of War dungeon gear would've been better than what they were wearing...
Finally... the DPS who said their gear is more of a shocker... they were wearing proper lv 30 to lv 40 DPS gear... so their defenses averaged around 60 or higher. ._. I sincerely do not think they realize that their tank had a LOT less defense than they did and if they tanked, I'd actually have an easier time healing them.

Pray a sprout healer does not encounter them cause good lord... My understanding of how terrible people can be has been constantly refreshing each day.

Alliance roulette threw me into Aglaia yesterday as blm, and a certain thing after the run told me that one blm in another alliance was barely doing anything in fights, afking or purposefully eating floor.

If you're gonna go into 90 content as a dps, at least try to participate please. Things die faster if you press your shiny dps buttons.

The Duty Finder is one reason why is lost faith in humanity. I've rarely seen so many degenerated people somewhere else.

That time when you forget to cheese CT and get a nier raid instead.

Have you looked at the quicksands on balmung? Now there is congested degeneracy

Did a Cutter's Cry on an alt cause they need levels. I got a lv 46 gladiator that wouldn't use total eclipse at all. Didn't respond to anything said in party chat. Had the lady's day flower crown on a mage top, dps legs and feet and only tank hands. Didn't bother to look at their accessories. The mentor in the group was the 1st to speak up and try to get something out of them. We ended up kicking them in the 2nd room. The mentor and I just bantered cause they died taking the room transfer before the 2nd boss. Said to let their kids know they loved them. After saying that I could also tell the mailman to give them their love I just had to give em a com. I had asked why just their kids and that was their response. I'd of commed the healer too as after an almost wipe they apologized and joked about possible wiping on the boss.

It happened again.

Phlegeton's 2nd Ancient Flare goes off at his 0.1% remaining health but we still end up victorious because of that last DoT tick.

I so Love it when you're in a dungeon and you're the only other person who can res. Only for the other dps to never accept your raises and literally will use return to home point after them and the healer go down. After you go and swift cast res the healer during a boss fight.

You think that's bad? Yesterday I joined an Orthos "Reclear" group (PLD + 2 RDM from Discord looking for a healer). Only, the PLD and one of the RDMs were healbots (or whatever the term is), even out of combat, while both the RDMs covered all of the many rezzes the three of them needed. As if healers didn't feel worthless enough right now.

What normally takes about 3 hours to clear ended up lasting 7 only to finally wipe on 99. The game was courteous enough to give me a Kraklaw mount for the trouble.

Why do people insist on stealing tankbusters that were ment for OT? I know SAMs want their anime moment, but is dying to it for the 3d time worth it?
Got O1 in normal raids and keep wondering. They could've just not stand infront of the boss and spare poor tanks from awkwardly making out trying to save SAM butt.

Today I learned Healer LB3 doesn't revive/heal the entire Alliance Raid, just your own party members. So, hypothetically, if your party is doing more or less okay and it's the other parties who are really hurting and need revives badly, you should probably not use it.

HYPOTHETICALLY. Don't ask how I learned this.

Been there; done that. Still think its dumb.

On the one hand, I get it, easier to code -> party only.

On the other hand, 5 Orbonne DFs back to back in roulette across 2 days where I had an entire Alliance OUTSIDE OF MINE endlessly dying and could 100% use a healer lb3 from me or the other 3 surviving healers. Along with several other raids including Dun Scaith and every YorHa raid.

I just had a real winner of a tank just now.

Doing Halatali or whatever it's called. Tank is single pulling and still getting chewed up. I check for gear and he is actually better geared than I am so no complaints there.

Which leaves one more thing...are they using role abilities? So in the event if they did use them recently I keep an eye on the bar for a good two minutes. Plenty of time for rampart or reprisal to be used. Nope. Not once.

So we get to the chains and he and everyone else just runs right by it. So I pull the chain and we get the 3 lightning mobs...and then we wipe.

"Please don't pull"

Uh...yo we GOTTA pull these chains or this run is officially over. It's required to pull these to open the door.

"Look I'm going slow for new healer"

Hey did you know using your role abilities makes it even EASIER on the healer?

Still not used a one the entire time.

I keep imagining now that the tank and healer were a partied duo, and the tank was taking the chance to level an alternate character/Job. They had done a dungeon before, and the tank never used defensives + pulled bigger. Seeing that they'd wiped after that, the tank now began coddling his healer partner and shifting the blame/actually believing that it's the healer being new that's the problem.

A man cannot live off of Shelltron alone.

This being said, to the almost-lvl-80-pld-tank-wearing-lvl 60-pld-artifact armor that cheesed the ilvl 50/60 roulette: use the other cooldowns in your kit. If you're going to half-ass your mitigations, I will half-ass my healing.

Because after all, especially in St. Mocianne's Aboretum, that last hp is the only one that matters.

i got an awesome party for DRN just now for the weekly quest(same for timeworn relic stage)
aside from few mechanics we burned the bosses pretty fast
one was a fellow 2b legs using samurai catgirl
other a whm miqo using the same bikini top as me
just saying outfits same/or close to same as my own
used by other players in certain content
earns my buff(dragon tether or otherwise if rdm/smn)
and a spot or two on my friend list

it is still fun as the timeworn artifact speedruns(pure essences included) are

It also has range of 50 meters, if u LB3 on on edge u can miss some of ur own party members.

Also the raids has even more secrets stuff, that "everyone knows, but nobody knows":
1) Transcendence buff, that u gain after gettin ressed, and that got removed if u use any action.
2) Arms' Len and Surecast nullifies push effects for 6 seconds (sure cast also nullifies draw-in and rescue)

Even ignoring that, they asked as the roll was going off and said please after it had been awarded. Like, even if i wanted to just give it to you(personally i pass on music rolls i already have, but wanting an extra for a friend/to sell is valid too) ITS TOO LATE.
