So I was in Titan HM

I'm a WHM and there's an SCH. The SCH lags so bad evading Weight of the Land is out of question, so by the heart phase, I'm alone. Couple that with a few other people getting bombed by the rocks and my MP is draining fast, even with frequent use of SoS.

And we have this BRD, yeah? Got Ifrit's bow on him. Remember that detail, it's gonna be important. So I was like, you know, the job is freaking named BARD. Not poet, not novelist, but BARD. And Bards SING. So I thought he'll do what bards do: sing.

Nope. Not even a single melody. Foe's Requiem? None. Army's Paeon? No. Mage's Ballad? You get the idea.

So at phase 5, I'm out of MP trying to keep everyone from dying from Tumult, and we wiped because I lost all of my MP.

So I said, "bard, please use Mage's Ballad", and he said "OK". He speaks English, that's for sure.

Still no Ballad. So I had to type to ask him to use it mid-battle in phase 5 during the 3 row bombs and the bombs exploded right before I press Enter.

So I literally BEGGED him to use Ballad. Seriously. Someone find the chat log. I pleaded him to use it, this is not a joke. When the healer has to beg the Bard to use Ballad, you know something's up.

And he said "OK..."


"...but only for phase 3"

You may have noticed that he said the words "only" and "phase 3" in the same phrase, and he doesn't say anything about phase 5. And even then he STILL won't use Ballad. I can't go on without Ballad, I'm the only healer around, and this is not a party with godlike internet connection, someone's bound to be hit by something.

In the end, the BLM of our party rage quits. Our tank screamed at his ears about Ballad and L2P, and he countered with a diamond:

"I never had to use Ballad in Titan"

And our tank countered with "Yeah, that's why you're stuck with Ifrit's bow and not Artemis. L2P and stop with the FATE academy".

The best part is the fact that he actually acted like he knows stuff. The SCH asked how to evade Weight of the Land, so the BRD said "Weight of the Land targets units with the highest enmity. You're healer, your enmity is high". You may have noticed that tanks actually have the highest enmity in Titan to keep him from table flipping the entire party, so at that point, I just ragequit too.



Seriously, someone do something about FATE academy, it's killing me, and the entire party
