List of the funny things you see in duties

Tanks

• Running to aggro full map as soon as duty starts. Who cares the buffs! Who cares to check if healer not afk!
• Sitting ducks in AoE. Tank does not need to dodge anything!
• Aggro pack of mobs when party haven't any AoE. More mobs tank aggroes, more cool he is!

DPS

• Who cares the aggro? Aggro is tank's job, he lose it, he is to blame!
• Who said DPS is a DPS? We are tanks too and can happily go ahead tank and aggro mobs. Then blame tank when we die because his fault haven't got 'em.

Healers

• Healing in cleric stance.
• Use cure2 when Tank have lost 1 hp.
• Tank died? Ho well, I was busy on DPS or else I'm called a bad healer!

There are a lot more, just have put in some... feel free to add :rolleyes:

• DPS Using AoE Abilities with 2 Monsters around.
• DPS pulling, while a tank is marking, then complaining. "Don't do it then! I'm marking them for the simple reason YOU don't die while I'm dealing with the other idiot DPS'ing a different monster"
• Healers who take five hours to get from point A to point B. I'm trying to beat this dungeon. I need a healer bruh!
• Tanks who think that going into a level 24 dungeon with a level 5 weapon will suffice. News flash, my single Cure will steal your monsters. Healer's should've been tanks with the amount of tanks who do this!

Since when is that a bad thing if no ones die and the healer makes you go faster ?

Because heals can be weaker when you use Cleric Stance lololink, depending on who you're healing :) I've accidentally left it on before, more than once, much to my shame >.< If the tank is new and got appropriate level gear for that instance or are taking too much damage, using CS wouldn't be a wise thing to do, from my own experience. Healing takes priority, but I will dps with CS on if people's health is stable and they don't fold like a wet noodle from one hit! And PLEASE for the love of god, don't turn this thread into a CS, to use or not to use flamefest, there's already a thread for that.

Apart from the others which have already mentioned...

DPS: Running off to parts of the dungeon where neither myself or the tank can get to him/her in time, and they die horribly.
Or, they come running back and bring lots of new friends :D Fun times!

Tanks marking past level 30 or so instead of just attacking whatever the dps are attacking.
Tanks who pull one trash mob at a time in CT of all places, because 24 people is just not enough to kill two imps.

White Mages who use Medica II, then immediately spam Medica til everyone's at full health anyway

Summoners who position their pets in front of bosses
Black mages who use sleep, ever, for anything.

People who stack for weights pre-heart on Titan, die, then tell everyone to stack even tighter so they have even less of a chance of surviving if they don't dodge in time.
On the same topic, people who complain that we're not stacking tight enough when NOBODY is getting hit.

That's only half the truth. First they do single-target abilities when there's 8ish mobs around, BUT, start doing AoE when there's one or two mobs left.

Seriously? Marking keeps dps attacking the same target instead of whoever they feel like. It means that the most dangerous threat gets dps'ed down faster. It keeps things moving smoothly, most dps will attack whatever without it, and even though I can hold aggro against blatant dps stupidity, they still make it harder by doing so. Sleep can also be a great thing. Crowd control limits the damage incoming to the tank and the party. This is a good thing for when dps is low from lower geared players, and when tanks are lower geared. You're funny things are things that you should be doing, and marks of good players.

I could list a ton but I'll go with my personal pet peeve first.

Healers

Ok, Tank hasn't lost any HP yet, it's ok I'll stand here and wait while they fight. Hmm, still no damage. Should I throw out an Aero or Stone? Nah, I'll keep watching. Ok! 4 damage! Cure II! Cure II! Cure II! Ok, now back to waiting...

Because stance dancing allows for more GCDs to be used for nuking, there's no reason not to unless for some reason the tank didn't dodge an AoE the moment you popped Cleric's up, and thus it's on the short cooldown.

When black mages get sleep happy, two things happen: one, they waste their own time casting sleep, and two, they prevent warriors from using their own AOEs, which at lower levels is actually very significant damage. Combined, they make a dungeon take about twice as long as it should.

And marking is a phase, every tank grows out of it when they realize the DPS that are smart enough to follow marks are also smart enough not to need them.

Speaking of marks, another funny thing people do in CT: Marking other people, without telling anyone what the marks mean.
