also like to point out how hypocritical this statement here is. but the thing is, they WERE participating according to your account of how things went. they just were a bit clueless about the adds in the moment. only you chose to stop being a participantQuote:

Like I said, I was tired and some of us get cranky when tired. And some of us shouldn't be on DF when tired+cranky but it happened.
Now we can all laugh how silly I was to make that decision.

I think I just had the worst Dzemael Darkhold experience as a healer.
This tank man... this tank...
Starting off, he pulls multiple packs. Okay, considering the Crystal Veil reduces all damage, large pulls are welcome.
Then after the 1st boss, nothing changes. Oh boy, 3-4 pulls at the cliff area right after the 1st boss. He gets hit for a crap ton of damage and still doesn't pop a single cooldown.
Yeap, that's right, no Rampart, no Sentinel, no Awareness, no Convalescence, NOTHING.
The guy was a level 54 PLD.
The worst part is, the party was not suited for AoE mass pulls. The party consisted of me, an AST, a MNK, a MCH and the tank, a PLD.
The MCH tries to AoE as much as she can before bottoming out on TP while the mobs are sitting comfortably at 70-ish% health.
The MNK has no choice but to kill stuff slowly single target because MNK AoE at that level is as good as none.
Then there's me, the AST spamming everything possible in my arsenal to keep the damned tank alive.
Luminiferous Aether to hopefully not grab aggro from tank while trying to keep his arse alive, Lightspeed + Aspected Benefic and Helios to try and get as much regen as possible on the tank (He was losing health if I was spamming only Benefic II) while also using Essential Dignity when he got a Physical Vulnerability Up Debuff and I had to cleanse it with Exalted Detriment.
During this entire sh*tfest of trying to keep him alive, ZERO Cooldowns were used on his end. NONE
Eventually, I grab aggro because he bottoms out on MP and I die from a single hit from at least 8 mobs.
I would've just left right there but the DPS were actually trying so I couldn't be an ass and just abandon them. Worst part is, the tank actually had the gall to bark orders to the DPS asking them when to LB.
After a painstaking 40 minutes, the entire dungeon finally ends and I get 2 commends from the DPS.

Yesterday my bf and I went to cutters cry for me leveling mch and he went in as pld. We got a group and then: 1 the healer didn't even put protect, first mobs he puts 1 regen on the tank which is all and then after we all die cose he wasn't healing at all, he just leaves.... and also the other dps left. then we got another dps, and had to ask one of our friends healers to come, because no healer was coming to cutters.
I don't understand this kind of attitude... where is the point of coming in and starting the dungeon then not doing your job? -
10-21-2015, 07:43 PMFluestergras
Trolling, I guess. I'm sure that healer was an astrololologian.

10-21-2015, 07:49 PMFynlarIf you're relying on Selene to get you past Ramuh HM adds, your group has far, far worse problems.Quote:
dismissing you fairy if it was selene would of had a detrimental effect on any caster dps who may have been dpsing adds. trying to make a point or not you are doing more harm than good
Also, for all you know, that extra 3% skillspeed might have been what the inattentive melees needed to push Ramuh to enrage. -

Once did a run of Darkhold...and the tank pulled everything in the cliff part before the first boss....which would be ok with our party...EXCEPT! He then proceeded to pull it all back into the small narrow hall ....all the attacks lined on top of each other in different spots and there was no dodging room, at all.

Running Halatali last night on my WHM with a DRK, BLM, and a MNK. I'm not even exaggerating when I say the DRK only spammed Unleash... against just about everything, single target or groups. I think I saw him throw an Unmend maybe twice the whole dungeon and I'm not sure how often he used his enmity combo, but I could pull hate as a healer without even throwing a heal... :confused:
Moving on, the BLM only seemed to know Fire II and Blizzard II because that's all he'd cast regardless of single target and groups. Needless to say, I had to keep him healed more than the tank half the time. Then at the very end, for whatever reason, he blew a LB2 on the boss (single target) while he was invulnerable. I just... I don't know why.
In the end I gave my commendation to the MNK because he was the least ridiculous and really hadn't done anything to cause me stress. Lol :p -

I had the most awesome tank last night in Neverreap with my EX DR.
After the first boss, out of the blue I started getting amass of lag spikes. The kind that everything stops and I can do nothing. I could barely heal him at all. This continued for this section. I even died because I wasn't paying attention to what he had pulled I got the second set of bees on me and died. I expected a wipe on the trash. I quickly returned and came back. This godsend paladin was still alive and tanking his ass off. No one but my lagging butt died. He even still had enough to pull that last set of mobs and kick their ass too.
My jaw had dropped and I was awestruck. Finding good badass tanks in df are hard to find. And when I do find them you just want to keep them out of perbadassery. -

I started leveling a PLD like 3 days ago.
Once I got to lvl 17, I went into Leveling roulette, with in-progress checked.
I got into Tam Tara in progress, use the shortcut, find myself in front of the last boss who was already pulled and being done by the healer and 2 DPS, while they were full HP, the boss was at around 20%.
I just stood in front of the gate for like 2 or 3 minutes till they killed it, and got the EXP, leveled twice. Was fun. :D -
10-22-2015, 07:41 AMSapphic
Qued for trials roulette, entered, Ravana, before the barrier went down, 3 people left, so left also, requed and got Cape westwind.
Win! XD -
10-22-2015, 07:48 AMRadiantRay
I got a good one!
~Queues for all 4 Alexander raids
~Gets A2 in progress
~Enters raid to see everyone getting spawn killed by the first 2 adds including tanks. Party never wipes because people kept respawning so the adds never resetted leading to an endless chain reaction of spawning and dying instantly.... Luckily for me I wasn't caught in the chain and I just watched and laughed. I never seen anything like this happen since. -
10-22-2015, 08:05 AMEmerald_Wyvern
I got one.
~Queue for Trial Roulette as 189 WHM.
~Get Ravana.
~I like the fight and there's no new people.
~Party stand around for 5 mins asking if this is EX or not.
~2 more as the tanks bicker about who should main tank.
~WAR main tanks while PLD does piddly damage as OT.
~Whatever. It's DF.
~Things go fine until Butterfly phase.
~Get 2 swords so I help DPS a bit.
~MT dies. WTF he was at full health.
~PLD refuses to take aggro while I rez MT.
~SCH is doing... stuff. I barely saw any heals go out.
~We survive... barely.
~Ensue battle for Prey which results in the WAR dead again because I'm the only one healing.
~Take aggro.
~Die.
~PLD finally decides to tank but as soon as the WAR gets up, he tells him to Provoke.
~I get rezzed and suddenly the SCH feels like healing again.
~Things go... relatively smoothly but gets kinda intense once Ravana gets 8 stack.
~Gets 3 comms.
~Wasn't that bad actually. -

Today in the Fractal Eso farm.
Got two black mages in the group. One was begging his mom for something (mom please afking ^^), then they DCed. After few minutes we removed them. Got another black mage. The tank was happy about so many black mages. Also he informed us that he is a noob. I thought "Great. Small pulls then". Tank done your usual pull. I was a little bit baffled, but okay. After the first boss it seemed like we were going to kill just the first two packs... tank decided to run to the next room... after few seconds of running, his tanking style was quite interesting - like a squirrel on caffeine - the white mage (me) died, then also the rest of the group. I thought that it would discourage the tank from overpulling... I thought wrong and we wiped again. Third time the charm we done a normal pull and then killed the second boss. We teleported to the circle room. Tank were nowhere to be found. One black mage aggroed the mobs... we somehow killed them while squishy-tanking. Then we moved to the jump pad... tank still nowhere to be found... he admited to be lost. Eventually he caught up with us. Funny how trying to rush things makes them actually take longer.
Btw. of course the tank was a Lala. ._. -

Neverreap for ex, with a DRG and a BRD. I check weapons and see i180 and i200.. Cool. Friend is on WAR and I'm on SCH, so I figure it'll be a quick run.
First island took forever to kill, even with me dpsing since eos covered the heals. I was a bit confused, and even more so when the next pulls were just as slow. So, during the first boss, I take a peek at the threat meter.
The. BRD. Is. BELOW. Eos.
Took some looks throughout the rest of the dungeon and pretty much always was that way.. Even though I did see animations from his skills. What the hell. D: -

The silly thing probably either had not done it in a long time and forgot all about it, or he never healed the dungeon before. Which that place is a snoozefest most days.Quote:

My husband and I play together in the same room and have come across many hilarious and terrifying moments in the DF.
This short story is because of my easily distracted hubby lol.
We were in Manor; he played a DRG and I was a SCH at the time. Going thru the motions, nothing spectacular. Of course no one says a word from the "Hello" at the start. We're working our way down to the basement killing skelly's, bats and bees when I notice he's auto attacking a lot. I ask him if he's okay and he doesn't answer. I see we're on the last mob and I hate it when he gets left behind cause of alt-tabbing music whatever and I raise my voice "Hey, pay attention!!" I hear his keyboard crash as he picks up the controller and in game all the sudden the last mob dies instantly!
He LB the half dead skeleton!
I burst out laughing, the tank in our group said "Man, the DRG must've really wanted that thing to die!" Other comments like that come and everyone is talking while my hubby is mumbling/snickering. Clearly embarrassed.
Least the rest of the dgn run was entertaining! Everyone was talking sharing stories and of course picking on what my hubby did. -
10-23-2015, 07:00 PMFluestergras
Level roulette as AST - I feel like doing something good to others and join in progress. I end up in Garuda NM with two bards and a freakin' GLADIATOR. Told him how to unlock the paladin and kicked him, then waited 10 minutes for another tank. One of the bards tells me that the healer that left was even a worse sucker than the gladiator. No tank joins, thus I propose a try without one. Wipe during the first add phase, a bard writes "at least we got further than before". Finally a warrior joins, we kill Garuda without problems, bard hits 56, other bard hits 58, I hit 54, everyone is happy.

A few days ago I popped DF for my daily run as a scholar. We got Garuda, downed her on the second try, all the while the tank kept asking for a dispel. I checked my abilities twice, didn't find such type of ability and thought that scholars must get it later. He kept asking, I kept replying "I don't have such an ability, I am not a white mage". After the dungeon I decided to check when scholars get their version of "Esuna". Leeches. Level 40. I was 49. Ashamed that I had forgotten to do the scholar quests, I went late to bed the following night, after having done all the job quests I've missed and putting a mouse over Embrace macro on my keybinds in an apologetic attempt at becoming a better scholar.

Today I have finished the Stone Vigil with a healer wearing Brayflox chest piece and... crafting gear. Luckily I was practicing stoneskin usage as synced paladin so we managed to clear it.
The first time I healed this dungeon I thought that it was difficult... now I cry silently how naive I was. -
10-25-2015, 04:18 AMXanikk999
I ran into a tank that would ONLY target one enemy, always the one he was attacking. He would never switch targets or use AoE moves. This was very aggravating because me and the healer would always end up tanking one.
-
10-25-2015, 04:40 AMSelli
Ran low level on my MCH, ran into a tank that wouldn't mark and would only attack one thing at a time, got really mad when people ripped aggro.
I started dotting everything so when the tank did lose hate (which they always did), the adds would come to me and not the healer. The tank got mad at me for "AoEing", when I explained what I was doing was to protect the healer, he got really mad and just left.
We waited 15 minutes for another tank and never got one, so we vote abandoned.
Happy birthday to me. QwQ -
10-27-2015, 03:05 AMFluestergras
Trial roulette as AST, I end up fighting Ramuh, together with another AST. I ask which stance she prefers, but no answer. The MT pulls and I decide to pick Diurnal while the other AST remains without a stance. Well, soon I notice that her stance doesn't matter as she doesn't heal anyway, leaving me solohealing. DPS is low as shit and I can't even help because I AM FU%!#ING SOLOHEALING. At about 30% the MT dies, I wait for a reaction from the other AST because I'm running low on mana and hope that she'll do the rezz, but no. At 20% the AST finally activates a stance, and guess which one, of course it's a second Diurnal, but it still doesn't matter anyway because I AM STILL FU%!#ING SOLOHEALING. At 10% she dies and I decide not to rezz her because of my mana that I need to do what I've been doing during the entire freaking duty until that point. Why pick up dead flesh. And guess what? I didn't get a single freakin' commendation for FU%!#ING SOLOHEALING.

Tanked a brayflox normal as a paladin with a monk and L35 archer who liked to go all out on dps as soon as (and a few times before) I'd hit any of the mobs. They liked to attack different targets as well which was annoying but not much of an issue. I guess the archer got impatient with my pace because he started pulling adds for me when I was already fighting a pack. The first time he did it he went and grabbed a bunch of adds and limit breaked them. :/
Eventually I just let him keep hate on the ones he pulled...let him kite them to death while I dealt with the rest. He stopped doing it after that. >.> -

Go figure.

So I was in a Cutter's Cry run with a DRK a NIN and some healer with me as a BRD...
Stuffs weren't being mobbed much, at most 3 enemies per battle, so I didn't feel like AoEing and instead DoTed all the things.
Noticed the NIN started throwing me Goads every time, despite them almost always falling on me when almost full of TP or when the mob was about to die anyway :/
Its ok, I was grateful.
So we reach the second boss and by keeping my own rotation my TP reached the halfway point to which I was about to use Invigorate when BAM!! Wild Goad comes in... so no need to Invigorate anymore... yay~!
However, by looking at the party I noticed the DRK was pretty bad on his TP.
So I went and said: "thanks for the Goads, but on boss can you save it for the DRK?"
NIN: "No, because the DRK is a Tank, if you run out of TP you will not DPS"
Me: "Yes, but I still have Invigorate, and I can sing if necesary"
NIN: "No, because if you sing your DPS drops"
Me: "Yes, but if the DRK runs out of TP I have to sing all the same..."
NIN: "No, because the DRK can keep aggro with their MP"
Me: "Yes, but DPS =/= Aggro..."
NIN: "The Tank's job is to Tank and the job of the DPS is to DPS"
Me: "Oh well, will not dable further into that... thanks tho"
NIN: "I know the Raids are a different monster but on duns that doesn't matter"
Me: (thinking) ... raids? Just when did I... well w/e...
No, seriously, all I meant to say was "Thanks but Im fine so please help that other guy instead! D:" -
