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

The gear in Pharos is good for building up desynth too. More people are leveling that now because Battle Demi III's are good money again and you can get glass fibers and astral silk and such on things that are over ilvl 180.

ARF roulette.... worse dungeon ever. Rather quit and level FSH than do it. The scripture isn't worth it.

If Sirius takes the place of Aetherochemical another day, it's hard to tell which is more horrible...To tell the truth, at least the music in Aethero sounds not so lethargic.

Doing daily DR EX Roullete, got Gubal HM. Me as BLM, a MNK, WHM and DRK

Tank pulls all the adds after the fiery hallway till the books, then said: "Lb"

The MNK lb'd

It's got to the point now that if I get it and there's no bonus, I just leave. Sorry, but I'm not putting myself through another 30 minutes (on a good day) of tedium for your anima. I'd rather go do something else and wait out the penalty.

It's so heavily weighted to pop in 60 roulette that it's just annoying, even most of my full premades with mates dropped us into ARF. I'm literally to afraid to do 60 roulette now because I'm so sick of that dungeon >.<

DF didn't like me today.

Ran into a curious summoner in 60 roulette (Lost City yay) that would attempt to build stacks with Tri-disaster + Fester + Bane + Painflare. Except the Bane never hit anything. He even did this on the bosses. What followed was, naturally, clueless Ruin III spam until OOM.

Then got a new tank in lvl 50 roulette (Keeper of the Lake yuck) that didn't seem to know how to play Paladin. Or worse, couldn't follow directions. So here I am, on Bard, tanking 90% of the things he pulled, trying to help him. We get to Midgardsormr and of course it's a wreck. The tank spins the dragons around so everyone gets cleaved, which isn't entirely helped by him BARELY having hate over me and the ninja. Worse, he'd been told several times to get in the shield after we popped it, and would naturally die to Animadversion. The healer eventually had to leave and we got saddled with another poor victim thinking that the bonus was a blessing. Somehow though, we finally cleared it. It's still baffling how, even after popping Quelling regularly AND playing Ballad for both healers, I still managed to end up tanking the dragons.

You ever have one of those days playing BLM where it feels like the universe hates you for trying to use Enochain and Ley Lines? You get a duty full of bosses with annoying mechanics (like leaving the arena...) that mess up your rotations, the other dps is too good at their job so your casts keep getting interrupted because enemies keep dying, and you get targeted by literally every AOE possible? It's nobody's fault, your party is doing fine, but it feels like the game just hates your guts.

I had one of those days yesterday when I got Sohm Al. After the duty, I just quietly turned off my PS4, curled up in a ball, and went to sleep.

So, uh... I ended up in an ARF run with a really really good Monk as a Bard. We were apparently so good the tank didn't notice our healer died VS the Ascians first phase (he rezzed himself to run back) and started second phase without him present.

We won anyway. Between the both of us, our DPS was so high that we kept pushing the Ascian Prime into mechanics, giving the tank enough time to recover enough HP to survive the fight. The hell?

I wish I could have recorded that because it was HILARIOUS.

I entered DF and am greeted by three Lalafells. I'm a Miqo'te. This immediately amuses me because irl, I'm 4'11. I'm never the tallest person in the room, unless I'm the only adult, and even then there's a good chance I'm still not the tallest.

<Lalafell A>: Let's kick the healer (me) until we find another Lalafell.
<Lalafell B>: We need adult supervision.

Yes!

Had an...odd experience, using the Trial Roulette earlier.

First it landed me in Sephirot, and somebody quit. And then another. And another. And so forth. So the rest of us left too because it seemed unlikely we'd be able to fill up a party again. There was one person 100% new to it, and I'm wondering if that was the trigger for the first couple people quitting. I just cannot get people who jump off at the first sign of even the slightest difficulty.

So after having to queue up again after all of 10 seconds, where'd I land next? Sophia Normal. Luckily even though again there was someone new to the duty there, no one ditched. It was a rough go, with lots of people falling off and not paying attention, but ultimately still an easy clear. As Sephirot previously likely would have been.
