is this mission meant as a complete roadblock ,I have been waiting via the duty finder for about 2 hours today (now ish) and nearly 4 hours last night and no one is doing it ,there is no waiting times and when I check status I am always the only one ........
I am nearly lvl 22 now and getting a bit annoyed that I cant progress in any way ,I understand that I am a dps character and it could take longer ,but there is no one and I cant even get a second dps person on the duty finder
is there anyone who could help as this is ruining my game !!!!!!!!

I was running lower level members in my FC through a bunch of dungeons. I noticed even with me as a tank to help the que pop faster, that it took a while. Part of the reason is not many people are on Sundays. Many players tend to take Sunday off for family and also here in the states, Football is on.
If you are not a amber of a FC I highly suggest joining one. Ask for help running Satasha. As a leader of my own FC, I try to help as many members as I can, get through dungeons. (I must have ran Copperbell a half dozen times yesterday)
If your current FC isn't helping you out, then its time you found another. I could speed run Satasha with my members, no problem. -

"Fun" fact: I did Sastasha with my main THM (I think on Friday), thus a DPS and I waited about 2h. Same for the next dungeons. I raised a healer to level 15 and yesterday as soon as I registered the window to start the quest appeared.
Apparently there must not be many healers around. Which is a shame, because they are the most fun to watch the battles in the dungeons in first person view while healing!! -

If people played anything other than DPS, wouldn't have to wait. I have never waited more than 10 minutes as a healer.
-
09-30-2013, 08:07 PMJaminosHonestly, I always get a kick out of watching healers from my perspective as a tank. Everyone is working hard to kill the boss and if they are all topped off, the healer just kinda stands there waiting for someone to get hurt.Quote:

Always puts a smile on my face. Then the boss takes it off as I start frantically dodging a strong attack. -
09-30-2013, 08:12 PM16bitBountyYou've been paired with some right shit healers.Quote:

While usually when everyone is ok in the party I help with dps damage and debuff, last boss I ended up mostly trying to keep everyone alive healing, running like crazy because even without spamming heal I got some aggro after me, to not get killed myself and trying to find an opening to cast Raise on one member that got instant KO. We did it after one wipe :)Quote:

On a second note, how should I level up my healer? Being the second class there aren't many quests available, and in the FATE they are practically useless. Maybe that's indeed to push healers to do more dungeons, given the apparent lack of them.

I don't think all healers are bad. Just a lot of Duty Finder healers. Same goes for DF tanks. Easy to get a bad one. Only reason I am using DF is because nobody in my FC is my level yet. So I have no choice.

Join a helpful, social FC. Makes running dungeons a lot easier - and more fun!
I tend to avoid the DF as much as humanly possible. -

09-30-2013, 08:29 PMJaminosLack of quests? Every class has the same amount of quests available to them. You are no where near your quest wall. You don't hit that until early 40‘s. And fates are NOT useless. If you are doing them around your level, a gold medal is worth the same as turning in a quest. Just without a quest reward other than xp, Gil and GC seals.Quote:

I heal enough though that I generally have some room for DPSing. Some bosses I refuse to DPS though because if my group isn't really capable I'll run low on MP by spamming Stone II. Spells not cast mean spells cast when needed. -
09-30-2013, 08:49 PMMichelassoI dunno. Why am I in your head? What did I do wrong this time? ^_^Quote:

09-30-2013, 09:00 PMJaminos
Lol my post came off more angry than I intended. I'm far from it. But you need to complete every quest that your main quest takes you to as well as continue to do your main quest. You can't skip it or you will miss out important content as well as new locations to quest at. Sometimes you cant do any new quests until you finish a certain part of your main quest. Once you do, you will have new quests unlocked.

09-30-2013, 09:14 PMMichelasso
Ah, no probs. You didn't sound so bad. I'm just learning anyway. I'll move on with the main quest then, as I planned to do anyway. I couldn't believe myself when I realized I advanced more the THM than the main story!
-
09-30-2013, 09:19 PMeikomakimachiSo far I've leveled my Conjurer (my second class) by doing its Hunting Log, Dungeons and some FATEs, but I guess it's more efficient if you go with a party. Doing Leve quests also help, but yeah, it's a slow process ><Quote:

There's one more dungeon just after Tam Tara

10-01-2013, 02:00 AMseekerofpower^ This... WHM/CNJ/SCH can do some decent DPS in Cleric Stance. In a run of Halatali this morning, I out DPSed the DPS (THM and PUG). It helped having Swiftcast as well. Seriously, a must for any healer.Quote:

Sorry to hear,
had you been on the Phoenix server there are many willing to help, myself included.
I also find that for the Duty Finder people get picky on who they want to play with.
Best bet is join a Free Company and join member of that group in which is usually better then just random people -
10-01-2013, 04:33 AMEstelliosYou can actually get good XP healing in FATEs. In this game, overhealing gives full enmity, which is a negative in party play but in FATEs more enmity = more XP. Toss out some Aeros/stones and randomly heal people, and you should do fine. You might need to mess with your targeting filters in your character config first, though.Quote:
