Duty Finder Etiquette

[Zakalwe]

Excellent suggestions. My one quibble is on avoiding guides/videos prior to runs. For most leveling dungeons this is fine, as experienced team mates can provide the few pointers needed.

But for hard mode primals (and I presume coil, though I'm not there yet), it is sadly necessary to go in the first time having been briefed up on the fight's mechanics. For hard end game content SE is (in my view overly) mechanics happy. Not learning what you can of them in advance will do you and your group a real disservice.

For coil I agree drastically, but it is not a Duty Finder dungeon. And again, people who encountered coil for the first time, didn't have a guide to beat it. So you shouldn't expect these things.

Mainly the guide/videos was to prevent spoilers, as hard mode fights we already know who we are fighting it's not that bad. There are guides that are spoiler free. I believe Eorzea source has some.

Clear and concise, good job!

this is one of the sad posts i always see, and it just makes me feel bad for people..........most of the fights are not that tough to begin with, and some of them are simple just to explain...people need to learn to explain better rather than telling people to watch a video

and for those idiots that say "exp required" and then tell someone to watch a video, a VIDEO DOES NOT MAKE YOU EXPERIENCED.........
