you can cover all the regens in one macro, and it's nice cuz it doesn't give error messages if the regen type isn't up and can't be removed.

I just did a Mt Gulg run where the bard didn't play songs. I think just one once total. And most of the time they were autoattacking. I don't think I've seen dots either. When packs were close to dying, they'd just stand there near the barrier waiting for it to go down, without doing anything. Surprisingly, they were using Battle Voice regularly though.
For a positive tale instead, I got a Ridorana that was almost flawless, I was shocked. Barely any deaths at all and everybody doing mechs right. -

a white mage let us wipe 2 times in the tower of zot and when confronted that she was using only cure 1, her response was "i am using all my abilities they're just on cooldown". i hadn't said much of anything so all i said was "alright, my apologies" which she immediately followed up with "maybe if you did your job as a tank we wouldn't die".
immediately the 2 dps came to my defense and tore into her but she went silent after that. when we wiped a third time all i said was "you have a lot of nerve to tell me to do my job when you have freecure popped".
she did not like that in the slightest and said "alrgiht, fine. f*** off" (uncensored in-game of course and with that typo) and left.
no tetra, no assize, no medica II, no temperance, no asylum. my first healer to 90 was whm and it was always is the first thing i level to max in every expansion (until this one where i leveled war first). i have done extreme and savage content with it. i know how to play whm and not only that i'm capable of reading. when i see only "cure" popping up repeatedly followed by the freecure icon beside their name i knew that this was going to be a problem. i knew it was going to be a problem when i had to use every single damage mitigation in my arsenal for a single pull. i knew it was going to be a problem when they would heal me to max with cure 1 and then for some reason use benediction when my health was full after the fight was over.
i also don't understand why or how they could be that bad because they boldly stated in their search comment that they used fflogs and encouraged people to see how well they did on there as a pali and honestly while i despise parsing i could not deny that they are actually a fairly good tank. so i just. i was genuinely confused how they could be so incapable of simple tasks like using afflatus or any regen abilities when playing a healer. -

Leveling samurai up, I got into Bardam's Mettle. The other dps was a red mage. The healer was new to the dungeon. On the first boss, the healer died when they got charged. Red mage didn't raise them but I couldn't remember for sure what level RDM got Verraise at so I just shrugged. The three of us were able to finish off the boss and we moved on. On the final boss, the healer died again, we wiped, and as we were all respawning at the entrance, the RDM made a remark about "I tried to help with healing, but I just wasn't strong enough." So this time I looked it up while walking back to the boss room, confirmed that Verraise is learned at 64, and so I asked, "Do you not have Verraise to raise?" They said they didn't remember about it until it was too late. I assume they got the notification of learning Verraise at 64 but didn't read the tooltips or something to see what it did.

Noticed I was short some tomes earlier; figures, I'd missed a few days of expert due to friends not being on + being fairly consumed in Legends: Arceus. Decide to do some of my roulettes on RPR to make up for it.
Load Trial Roulette first, land in.... Hydaelyn. Well, somewhat worrisome, but the only other time I got in this for roulette before, we did fine. Granted, I'd been on tank for that and this was my first time fighting her on RPR...
I misjudged the snapshot of her green Dawn Mantle, and also the size of the cross for blue mantle, but otherwise most of my deaths could be chalked up to one of the healers being new and being incredibly bad at WHM. She was dying to nearly everything, as well, sometimes with seemingly no reason. Her health was fine, up there with everyone else's, so it wasn't a lack of proper gear I guess - maybe all the vulns she kept getting? Don't know.
AST couldn't solo heal with so many people dying, eating vulns, or otherwise just getting hit with stacks or raidwides. We wiped twice, once during Crystal adds and the other during Light Wave; AST wouldn't healer LB3 despite us having it both times and the WHM being dead, and we had no one to help raise, so what few of us remained had to keep resetting the fight.
On top of this, the PLD tank who so pridefully boasted he could lead everyone to safety... was the one who insisted on MTing. This led to Hydaelyn getting spun around constantly, because he'd always be moving to a new spot after mechanics resolved and never bothered to stand north when she was prepping a skill. Despite having me and a SAM in the party - you know, DPS who have positionals. The WAR asked them twice to stop spinning her so much, I and the SAM chimed in for it, but our DNC who wasted time during one wipe by not walling herself chimed in "wElL shE tUrNS fOR mEchANiCS".
No ****, but it ain't hard for the PLD to keep themselves standing north so she isn't spinning around like a Beyblade every time she finishes doing her mechanic.
WAR started trying to Provoke her off of the PLD to face her properly, but PLD would always Provoke back immediately and continue running around her, running AWAY so that she was off-center, and generally being an annoyance. We wipe a third time, same issues as always, and PLD goes "well, I tried" and drops.
Yeah, making the entire run harder on your melee DPS and refusing to tank properly sure was you "trying", I guess.
Ended up with a vote abandon, which I gladly accepted. That was such a bloody mess, and I think I'll just put off expert until my friend is off work. Back to playing Arceus. -
02-05-2022, 09:38 AMMika_ZahardAbsolutely based. Every time im on a leveling or expert roulette as a healer, ill tell my tank to be as intrepid and risky as possible. Go big or go home.Quote:

DOH! -
