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

To be fair, both dungeons are in the lvl 30 range, so new players often just havent gotten around to getting their jobclass yet; especially if they dont even know how to unlock it

There's no excuse to have ilv9 acessories and ilv8 pants in low level dungeons because MSQ gives you better gear. In Cutter Cry case, the Marauder had Warrior unlocked (but was without his Soul Crystal) and a lv50 WHM and NIN.

Aren't you suppose to wait 15 minutes to be able to initiate vote abandon?

Yeah, that's what I've always thought, but it somehow worked this time. Maybe because it was a 24-man and not a 4 or 8 person dungeon? Idk. Either that or a bug.

Shoutout to the healer I ran into today in Duty Finder for Keeper of the Lake. If you ever read this, I meant to give you a commendation but got distracted by the fact that a glamour item that I've been looking for happen to drop from the last boss that I've been trying to get since 2.5 x_x

Not really a bad one more of a sad but funny. Got Titan normal as my leveling roulette, fresh level 34 whitemage. Politely waited for her to watch the scene, we begin and first land slide, healer eats it and is off the edge. Paladin, Monk (me) and Summoner end up downing him from I think it was 70% or so?

So, let me preface this to say, this morning I was NOT in a hurry. I had sufficient time before I had to get ready for work to do one dungeon, which happened to be brayflox as I just started leveling DRK. I have full cavalry gear from when I leveled WAR, and I know what I'm doing.


Basically, we zoned in, said hi, the healer had protected all of us but the newbie watching cutscenes. I run forward a few feet, making sure healers ready, pop my buff and grab the first two mobs. This goes smoothly, but I notice I didn't get a single heal and am around half health for next pull. Healer isn't topping me off, just sits there, so I pop a defensive cd and grab the next group of two. I get no heals, and promptly die. Res, take remaining add off the dps. Wait for other dps to run back, and another protect. No protect, and healer pulls next group. Allmywat.jpg. I'm not doing this. I run back to entrance and watch healer die, dps by my side. Here's a screenshot of ensuing conversation.




Oh, did I mention the healer was level 60? Not new by any means, should know by that level that you're supposed to heal the tank.

We kicked, got another healer, and got thru the dungeon.

I'm just here to say I had a great leveling roulette today on MCH after the terrible run in Copperbell the other day with the three sprouts (and the rogue wearing the new event gear.....but not as glamor). It was me, a DRK, an AST, and a DRG for Cutter's Cry and it was a straight up burn fest. We were slaughtering everything. The AST kept giving me Balance, which was awesome. I swear we were all at the top of our game. I commed the DRG, got a comm myself, and hope everyone got a comm all around because we deserved it.

Leveling roulette, ended up in Haukke Manor as tank. Shortly before the first boss one of DPS says he had to brb quickly. The other two players (both french / buddies so it seemed) decided to vote kick him after not even a minute of him being AFK. Later the healer started pushing mobs around with knockback, eventually he felt the need to straight up pull mobs instead of waiting a second for me to do it. Left that party before second boss. I rather take the penalty than supporting such behaviour / playstyle.

Been leveling my AST, having a blast. Got it to 50 and started doing other roullettes, it was all going smoothly. Until this morning, I got Moogle King for my trial. I was like awesome this is going to go great. Saw the other healer was a WHM, so I turned on Nocturne Stance and everything was going great until the King showed up and the WHM disconnected. No regen, but it shouldn't be a problem. I had expanded Arrow and gave it to everyone. Someone decided to take that as a sign to start hitting the king. Everyone dies and the WHM comes back and dies. I switch to Diurnal Stance and everything goes smoothly again until the King shows up and the WHM disconnected... again. I kept every Aspected and got lucky with my draws with nothing but Bole and Balance and no one dropped below 50%. And I got a new respect for Synnestry. But I am wondering if Nocturne Stance is useful at all.

Last night, I was running Halatali NM as a Pugilist. We had a healer whose name I recognized from a previous day, when I was tanking Haukke Manor NM.

We got through the dungeon okay, but he kept doing the one thing I used to see people rage about in ARR's earlier days, and that was Fluid Aura. This healer used Fluid Aura on every single encounter, whenever it was available. No one told him to stop, because it didn't really screw us over, but a couple times he did run ahead of the tank and start pulling monsters. He didn't try any of that when I was tanking the previous day.

I was shocked that the tank didn't lose it, because this guy ran ahead and pulled twice. I've seen tanks flip out for less than that!
