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

[Arkenne]

I got a SV normal the other day on my BRD.
First thing the DRK comments is "Hell, I hate this dun"
It isn't so bad, to my personal opinion...

But, hell if he wasn't right...

The SCH lost his fairy at least 3 times by moving... that means he placed it somewhere and forgot to make it follow again. He was slow on heals and the Tank was always on half HP points. No matter how I looked at it, the Healer had a healty MP pool, CS was off, and tank had Grit on him. Didn't check for the use of CDs but even so...

Well, the things were dying quite slow as well, despite my effort to use all my available toolkit at that level. I started to have some suspicions but...

At the moment we arrived to the first boss, the SCH got himself killed at the last 30%, the Tank managed to keep himself up for another 5%, to no avail, since he got offed soon after. So it came to me to chew my face away... I kitted it the best I could... downing it from the last 25% to a 3%... hats off to myself I guess? but lastly it was my turn to die. So it all depended on the NIN, he had LB at his disposal so it was a matter of 1 click... know what he did?

Spinning Edge... auto-attack, auto-attack, auto-attack... Spinning Edge... runs in circles... dies...

Tank just DCed himself after screaming "WTF". I noticed his leaving so I commented "Lets be real" and started a Vote Abandon... which was rejected... "oh well, take care :/" and left... seriously... the only thing these guys didn't fail at was at failing =___(\

Did leveling roulette the other day for my drg. Got Haukke Manor. Everything is fine. Then the healer used lb during last boss. =_= everyone was good on health. The adds had just died.... I was about to unleash it too. Like seriously? Whyyyy?

Sometimes misclicks happen.

Sometimes misclicks happen.

If that is the case say something. I know missclicks happen. Don't stand there and say nothing. Both me and the other dps were like why did they do that. Seemed to me like it was a new player who didn't know much of the shared lbs or they did it on purpose due to the timing they did the lb. Right as it got to level 2 lb and the final add died. I was about to let it rip on the boss but the lb was then wasted.

To top it off, I was left to get the lamps on that boss, the healer, though right next to one, didn't grab any.

Joined in progress on my conjurer alt this morning for healer in need.. the tank and healer were gone and as I came in, one of the dps said "I can't take this anymore!!" Right then a competent sprout gladiator joined, I protected us, and we sailed through the remaining mobs on the way to the boss. As we did, the dps revealed that their tank had been running Halatali naked. All the way down to the third floor.

No wonder their healer quit.

BOY DO I HAVE ANOTHER STORY FOR YOU GUYS.

Trials, I get Ramuh hard(SCH). Bonus warning! At this point I don't even care because fight isn't hard and killing adds in any fight should be obvious (unless if told otherwise).
Everything goes well until adds... I notice DRG & WAR going at Ramuh like crazy and I start spamming "Adds!" in party chat many times, no response so I summon my fairy away so they're not getting healed (Yeah, I am asshole). Obviously it's a wipe because WAR just didn't switch to adds while DRG did(was too late anyway). At this point I am tired so I said "Well good F- job." Maybe F word was too much for some people because they started slapping me and say "Thanks for your input SCH!"

Think they weren't too happy with me not having fairy out at adds phase or even DPSing adds. I'm sorry but if you're not participating then you sure aren't getting healed by me for sure.

dismissing you fairy if it was selene would of had a detrimental effect on any caster dps who may have been dpsing adds. trying to make a point or not you are doing more harm than good

Honestly if it was just one wipe I would've taken offense to your language too.
Even though I always pay attention to my chatbox, some people don't react as fast (even in the DF)...so that behavior was uncalled for.

NOW if this had been like the third/fourth time and people were still not getting it, then yeah I'd be getting a little thin on patience too...but first try? In DF? With a newbie?
Nah.

Ikr. New player bonus, sounds like fight not described. Gets angry at one wipe, where people almost always wipe.
