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

So another attempt at Steps last night and the first group had issues followed by a D/C and then two others leaving when they knew they would not get a penalty. WE'd had two tries at that point. (Where is the patience people?) Normal not dodging enough AOEs and thus down on DPS going into the Add phase. Anywho someone did a vote abandon and we moved on.

My second group and attempt to clear was downright awesome! Strong DPS, great MT and the OT picked up the second Add well. People danced through most AOEs and what was left was easy enough to heal through. Even the final phase with my great co-healer went well and it only took two tries to break through and complete it. Thank you for that run, really, thank you. ^_^

Last night I queued for all roulettes with a pre-made party of four. We got the Navel for our leveling roulette. It was amazing. Titan's never gotten smashed so hard. Everything else we got was very fast - pharos normal for 50, pharos hard for 60, hullbreaker hard for ex, and dragon's neck for trial. Dragon's neck was so ridiculous, with half the party off the platform for half the fight, but still carried through easily.

I ran LotA on Warrior and it was hilarious to see all the provokes going off everywhere. I wasnt trying to MT but everyone else sure was. No one got the Iron Giant and he romped through the raid. At Phlegethon, we wiped twice before people decided to do mechanics.

Doing Final Steps as an extremely squishy BLM, I dodge Nidhogg's flame fly-by. He lands.

3500~ damage (20% parried)

And now I can't stop laughing at the sheer mental image of my tiny catgirl character somehow parrying a dragon's touchdown with a staff.

But oh, Final Steps. It's funny. Everyone talks about the DPS check, but absolutely no one ever mentions the healer check that comes in the form of Akh Morn. I have seen so many healers who somehow think that their DPS takes priority over ressing me. DPS get shat on constantly for not meeting the DPS check, but nobody ever blames the healer for not being able to heal past Akh Morn even when all the DPS have done their jobs properly.

People keep saying I have to dodge AoEs. I dodge them just fine. The thing that kills me most of the time? Deafening Bellow. The healers have several seconds to just throw Medica out, but nope. I do what I can to help with DB, throwing out Manaward, but there's only so much that I can do as a BLM, and these healers would rather just DPS and then blame me for dying when they could've prevented it with a single heal.

I had the same thing happen on my BLM, was at 20% for the longest time got killed by the landing, no res at all then Ank Morns hit and more people died.

I just... How on earth did we skip that last phase, I have never seen this happen in a sync party before. We made it in the second try when I stopped DPS after the second add phase, but... just... wtf.

I've seen it skipped on sync when I'm pushing my healer DPS, combined with strong DPS DPS.

This has been a thing for quite some time. I remember having to ask a SMN not to dot up the boss on, I think, my second run of Haukke HM ever (this was in patch 2.55) because of this.

Because history can't help repeating itself :/

From what I've seen, I'd change that from "a month" to "a day or two at best".

I had people jumping down my throat because I went into Sohr Khai blind at 10 AM EST on the day of the patch.

So... the DPS I've seen there until now were just... bad? D:

On topic, my first time at the Final Steps of Faith. The setting of the fight is incredible! The mechanics, if you wish to call it like this, are a festival of totally obvious AOEs we've all seen somewhere already, and people still mess up, we needed three tries because people weren't able to dodge AOEs although their pattern was the same every time. Over and over and over again. ;_;

It doesn't mean they're bad per se. I'd like to give peeps the benefit of the doubt and assume they know the boss can be pushed too fast and therefore tone it down when they know an add should be popping.

I honestly didn't know you could outright SKIP that last phase...so yeah I tend to hold back a bit on the boss.

I certainly won't now.

I have a bit of catching up to do. As in I have two dungeons and a trial from 3.2 to do. I haven't been able to do it due to a combination of shitty internet (that Comcast won't do dick for), insomnia, getting sick because of said insomnia and now the muscles at the base of my right thumb hurting.

Anyway, I queue up for trial roulette on 3.3 patch day and I get Sephirot. I wasn't really expecting him since I hadn't refreshed my memory recently with a video, but I wasn't going to drop it because of that. I figure I'll go with my rule of thumb of "dodge all the things, stack when to stack and don't be in front of the boss".

That was the only good part of this roulette.

Both tanks kept fighting for aggro, top it all off, they kept turning the boss towards the party (or not even bothering to turn the boss away from the party). I know Sephi has that one move that targets a party member, so I'm not counting that attack. We don't even make it to the adds phase before wiping. Half the party leaves the trial. I look at the time, notice that it's after midnight and decide to just eat any penalties I may incur and just go to bed.

I'm constantly having to remind folks, especially in Crystal Tower, that just because you out-level and out-gear it doesn't mean that you can get away with ignoring mechanics.

If she's in the middle of an attack when she hits the percentage the last add should spawn, she'll finish the attack, then spawn the add. If you keep pushing her and she hits the "time to eat" percentage and the last add just spawned and is at full health, she will kill your party. I don't think it's possible to get her too low to have her eat the other adds upon spawn but hey, you never know. I just know I tend to be careful attacking the boss after the second set just because I know chances are, the last add will spawn after an attack or two.

I've that happen to me a couple of times. First time it happened we were all "Uh lolwut". Luckily I had heard about it happening from a couple of FC mates & I reply with "Uh, I think that we were too awesome & we pushed a phase." This game isn't as forgiving in pushed phases as, say, WoW is. Been careful ever since.

Did 60 roulette as SCH today... got a bard that actually sang Foe's for me.

I almost cried tears of happiness no one ever does that (even though I'm mostly in CS anyway)

My friend asked to go in Weeping City with him. Well, 2 wipe against Forgall and half people only leave after spam Vote Abandon without sucess.

Second time, 1-2 wipe in each boss and we done. But I continue very useless against last boss. Alliance C won alone against lasts 15%.

By the comments, people who did Coil of Bahamut find easy.

So this made me laugh. So I do weeping for the first time. It took about two different groups. One vote abandoned on Ozma, the second one cleared with one minute left. So the loot appears. There was BLM Gloves, The Healer Chest, One coffin lid and three cards of the boss.
So I roll on the Coffin lid and get a 95. I'm so happy I'm gonna have the coffin lid.

..I get out rolled. So I just greed everything since I didn't want to come back in there for another piece this week.
I think I rolled a 75 on the gloves and some low number on the healer chest piece. I think it was in the 20s or 30s.
I win no cards but something drops into my inventory. I assume its the gloves.
Next day I'm ready to hop on my blm and glamour my gloves and I can't find them.
I check my inventory and.. knock knock, whos there? The Healer Chest piece from Weeping.
I wonder what glamour works for this. How did I win this? I thought the healer would have wanted it. Or someone else. xD Guess thats one thing I like about lock outs. Folks don't like to risk their lock out so its easy to get stuff for alts. :3

I thought it was funny. xD

A8 trying to get the last spring I need for caster pants.
Tank thinking Brawler has activated both arms turns towards the raid and destroys us all with his tank buster instead.

Oh, healers get called out...Even when it wasn't something that was within our control. Steps just ended up one of those fights where it tends to be all or nothing in regards to healing. Not enough people alive for Akh Morn? Healers can't keep people alive. Is it the healers fault people are dead? Depends on how well people are dodging, because a lot of the mechanics will cause a lot of issues if people don't dodge.

However, if everything is going right, Akh Morn is awesome to heal against. Maniacal laughter from the fact that this rather terrifying ability was basically neutered by proper mechanics makes it one of the most satisfying things I've done this patch.

Actually, Steps reminds me of Urth's Font, thinking about it. None of my fights people really complained about failing the DPS check, even if we did fail (there was one, but that was the same DPS check everyone kept eating the damage debuff...). Even the comments people made were less "DPS was bad" and more "Too many people with weakness."

Got Final Steps of faith in my duty roulette might have been the worst dps I have ever seen, after getting killed to every AOE for first few runs we got to add phase and none of the adds were below 75% before he did his ultimate, mercifully we vote abandon after that.

I queue for Final Steps of Faith as a WHM on purpose to help people clear, knowing 80% of the fight basically revolves around competent healers due to the insane amounts of AoE damage and tankbusters going out. (Plus I've yet to have a single clear queuing as Bard.)

So far, I've had one run that resulted in a vote abandon, four that cleared after a 30-minute struggle as everyone learned how to deal with mechanics along the way, and most shockingly enough...

I had a run just now that consisted of a new tank, a new co-healer, and two new DPS. We only had ONE wipe, and that was to add phase when we forgot to explain to the new tank that he had to grab one of the adds immediately before it could cleave the group. It was pretty mindblowing how amazingly well that run went. It was a double WHM setup too, and I found it very easy to heal that group. I'm now realizing it's really a fight where our raw group healing really shines through...

I noticed that with FSoF with my first run, when I was paired up with another SCH. While we could handle single target damage decently well, the amount of AoE damage you had to burst heal made me wonder just how doable it is with two SCH. I mean, I'm sure it is doable, but in a burst AoE situation, Succor isn't going to handle it all that well trying to stack against itself.

Emergency Tactics. I think 30s CD is enough for all the double room wide AoE.

That works when people actually dodge consistently. My only run with a double SCH, people didn't.

Hmm, one thing I noticed is that the very first clear I had, I was paired up with a Scholar that ABUSED THE HELL out of Dissipation, Emergency Tactics, and Deployment Tactics, ESPECIALLY for Ahk Morn.

But with most Scholars though, I'm finding that Nidhogg completely laughs at their shielding. The amount of raw damage coming out constantly basically seems to completely overwhelm the Scholar skill set. I've noticed some Scholars' faeries dying a lot too. I've never raided before, but is it normal for Savage bosses to be throwing out that much AoE damage too? If not, then...

I know Scholars are generally considered irreplaceable in raids, so I kind of wonder if the devs designed Nidhogg this way to test how they could possibly break that perception through boss design instead of nerfing the class.

Unlikely, since a SCH/Dinural AST combo I did clear with, everything went well. Enough protection via shields plus regens for extra heals, we crushed it when everything went right. Just with the amount of damage the hits did, the fact we could really only heal roughly 300+150 shield except for every 30 seconds made any large amount of AoE damage an issue if people weren't being smart elsewhere. I do believe Akh Morn meshes with that 30 second mark (I had Sacred Soil up for the ones that did hit), so it's possible, but the double SCH basically have to be completely on their game swapping who is casting what when.

---

If it does, I never timed it properly to match up with it to test. Will have to keep that in mind when I go in next time, since I've been using Eos while in there for the higher healing output.

Edit: With Fey Covenant's 2 minute recast, you'd basically only have it for 2 total as double SCH, at least in my experience.

So yeah SCH in there needs to have or should have their stuff out of CD and use it it works marvels if I dont have either Sacred soil up or on obne or the others it becomes a bit difficult... once I have applied everything then I used succor abuse of it and the healer with me using his medica/helios works too makes marvels 5x. I have yet to try in Nid EX but for normal this works . With 2 SCh works the same, provided they use in turn their major skills, even if they dont succor does the trick for quiet a lot...yep.. although if I can keep up an entire group alone, it shouldnt be a problem and I am by far the worst healer ever...soo

Sometimes sleep is something necessary. After play by 20 consecutive hours, I had 2 shameful deaths in Sohr Khai -_-

Reading all these Final Steps horror stories actually makes me scared to queue for trial roul ever again (I'm FINALLY home again during weekdays) but I hit lore cap from spamming Aquapolis with friends, so I haven't yet really had the, uh, "pleasure" of getting FSoF on roulette.

When I ran it with my friends the 8 of us cleared him first try, even if these complete mothballs I play with stopped doing anything at 1% so I, the designated Dragoon Lover 6,000, am the one killing my boy Eggnog.

I decided to queue for mentor roulette as a tank - which is always a great decision.
I got ultima ex which was fine, except the other tank refused to take it off me for whatever reason, but he "dc's" and we get a better tank who actually swaps but the dps still manages to fail the wipe mechanics 7 times even with tank LB.
Starting to question if the extra gil bonus is worth the headache that comes with queuing as a tank.

I just got into a duty finder in Void Ark (for the third time XD) that was in progress. I said my hellos and then noticed they were already almost finished. I was about to run all the way to where they were (because I didn't notice the teleporter), but when I took my first few steps, the dungeon had already been cleared! I laughed and typed in the party chat "We Won! XD" just to try and be funny and get a few laughs out of the others in my party because I just joined literally only a few seconds ago. ...Sadly, nobody said a word, but I did get two pieces of gear and a coffin lid because for some reason nobody wanted the gear and I was able to complete my Void Ark Ninja gear set and get a piece gear for my Machinist as well! ;3 Though, I'm not sure if Void Ark gives out weapons and accessories... I hope to get at least Void weapons if they exist too sometime! XD

Hats off to the ilvl 220+ WHM and SCH in the Void Ark run I just did, who let me die to a DoT in the ventilator section, then didn't bother to ress me, forcing me to run back and get locked out of the Sawtooth/Irminsul fight, and then claiming it's because I, as an ilvl 210 BLM, am irrelevant to the success of the run. Thanks for the break; if you don't want to put in any effort, I don't see why I should either.

Hats off too, to the tank who pulled and locked out 2 DPS, hats off to that entire alliance, in fact, for showing me that those bosses actually have an enrage, and wiping to it.

But yeah, thanks to those healers, I've learnt a very important lesson: Based on what I've seen from them, I could go into VA as any healer job, at ilvl 188, and solo heal the entire run.

Solo Healing Void Ark is no good Idea. I told the other HLR in Void Ark today, "I Solo Heal" at the Third Boss. No response back though. At the start I entered Cleric Stance and everyone had the usual 1 Bleed Stack, DPS'd until the Adds come up and you can imagine what the second HLR did.... Totally under stress (Everyone was at max. 85-90% HP lol...) and spamming AoE Spells. On top of that using Cure II Spells on everyone who dipped by 1-2% ...

There was no Reason not to enter Cleric Stance and DPS, it's not like Bleed will sap everyones HP down to 10% HP in a matter of seconds... right

One Guy died twice while being puked on, that was it for the entire Run, heck.

Fourth Boss, Echidna... Ya this time I said nothing and we both Healed, got petrified twice because of other Alliances Tank who put Echidna herself near our Snake. The other Time while I buffed someone by mistake and faced Echidna.

The entire Run was so smooth, usually I heal the Tank when it is needed otherwise I contribute to Damage / Buff People.
The worst thing you can do as a Healer is standing dumb around, waiting for the Tank or someone to drop some Health and then frigging mass-spam Cure II...

Not to mention, that Guy/Girl/Whatever whispered me after that Run. (Thanks for the Attention even after the Run)

I wonder why people make such a big deal about getting hit with Petrifaction. But then again, I'm quickly growing to learn that people who insult others for getting hit with Petrify, are usually those who have failed at everything else and just need to find some way to feel better about themselves.

So I went through VA again, as an ilvl 188 SCH. The other healer in my alliance was a WHM with slightly better gear. People died, sure, but we didn't wipe. I suspect that's because we were actually healing, instead of standing around and marking other players to harass out of spite.

Void Ark truly is a Joke compared to the Weeping City of Mhach in terms of difficulty.
As a HLR you're not even in need to Heal anyone if they atleast do the Mechanics right,... since Bosses like Cúchulainn die in 3-4 Minutes there is almost no reason to cause a Wipe or Snowball Effect in your Group.
The only Dangerous things are Echidna and the Poison Room itself (Heck, I had a Enrage in there once, it deals 9.999 Damage everytime it ticks)

Now talking about the City of Mhach, the difficulty is more Midcore, your Group or the entire Alliance gets Rewarded when Mechanics are done correctly, that simple means, you can DPS all you want as a HLR.
Though... I wouldn't suspect this is going to happen in this Month ...

People get upset at the last Boss mainly because if you have too much Vulnerable Stacks, they assume you're bad at dodging or you ain't doing anything at all.
Thing is, not only Patrification causes this, her AoE Attacks does this aswell.

As a Nocturnal AST most People can't see me actually Healing as I use Instant Abilities and Shields, Lightspeed aswell which you have to count in so of course well, one can say I'm DPS'ing all the Time and Cleric Stancing isn't really a hard thing to do, just to Heal a Tank up ^^

Did WCoM with my boyfriend because he hasn't gotten his loot yet. We were there for the full time, but I'm gonna post about a specific part because I was both stressed, proud of myself, and totally drained of all my willpower after that, LOL.

We got to Ozma and it was our 2nd or 3rd attempt. The healers in Alliance B had decided to gtfo 'cause they died during Atamos. And they called for a wipe so I said, "I got it". So I ditched my party at A to go heal B. Luckily I didn't get any meteors, but my AoE heals didn't work so I was having to Cure I/Cure II/Regen the lot of them >.< My co-healer had a hard time solo healing, so I looked over to find my alliance dead. I popped sprint, ran into range and LB3'd. Thinking that maybe I could get back to B in time to avoid causing a wipe.

And I

Just couldn't make it back in time.

*Sobbing*

I tried, I really tried. D:

It seems to me that the healers who don't DPS also let me die the most.

I did a Fractal Continuum run a few nights ago where, on the last boss, the healer refused to cleanse the bomb off of us, so me (monk) and the tank were just knocking each other around with every tick. Eventually, I got knocked into a mine, on a blue panel, and died instantly. Healer says, "plz don't run over the mines and do your job." I just responded, "gurl" and she went -____-;;.

Just now, died three times in a Hullbreaker Normal run, all three times to incidental damage with a healer just not healing me. One of those times, it was on the 2nd boss when he was burrowing. I had 4k HP and the DoT ticked for 1k. Sure enough, the healer didn't bother to heal me even though there was no boss around.

If healers aren't going to DPS, then there's no reason anyone should be dying unless they do something wrong. This happens frequently to me.

saying there are no reasons for anyone to die because the healer is not dpsing, is totally silly...
