oh well, unlocked the mentor roulette recently. Get put in a lot of guildhests, over in a minute. Get put in a lot of synced level 50 extreme trails, Ramuh being the most common. the people there have almost half my health, they have the most awful gear possible and die to the most basic mechanics. I think I've been put in 10 extreme/ballads and NONE of them have been successful due mostly to there dead weight. A tank without provoke on Ultima's bane ballad, a conjurer(no job, whitemage) in garuda and so on. A typical extreme goes with the explanation of tactics if there isn't a ninja pull- I am a dps and only know dps tactics, I don't know any tank tactics, normally one of them does, its a nightmare when none of them know. Explaining tactics achieves nothing, I think I've given up on this mentor thing all ready after less than week.

02-01-2017, 02:48 AMMeimi_chanTo be fair, a lot of times it seems that melees are not going to lb at all unless you ask, so I don't blame ranged classes to jumping the opportunity to hit that button.Quote:

Granted I do know some people who will cast it ASAP then claim the melee didn't use it within 2secs of it dinging. lolQuote:

Some melee wait until low boss hp before doing lb3, because when they do it, they lose their stacks\buff. And if this happens in the middle of fight, they have to build their stacks from the beginning. Of course this is ok only if they don't get another lb after anyway.

02-01-2017, 08:35 AMMeridaQNot sure if this is part of it, but I have ranged LB before a boss is pulled, because as soon as the boss is pulled you lose LB. Meaning the melee can't LB at the start of the fight.Quote:

02-01-2017, 09:22 AMRhymenoserousI had initially picked DRK to main, and I like to think I do an ok job at it. But after leveling a healer nothing makes me clench up and start dreading the run more than seeing a DRK zone in with me. I notice many DRK's think Darkside and Grit are an either or choice and that really irritates me.Quote:
