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

[Selli]

Was running MSR for the Poetics (stupid relic). My PLD recently hit 60 (three more jobs to go, whoo!) so I'm working on my next 50->60 job which is DRK. I warned the party that I hadn't played DRK since HW launched so I was a bit rusty, but I'd try my best.

Apparently the healers interrupted this as, "I have no idea what the f*ck I am doing. I have never run a dungeon in my life until this very moment." because they proceeded to pull every single trash pack and boss despite the fact that the other tank and I were more than willing to do a speed run.

Someone tried to vote kick them too, but I guess only 2/7 didn't like them because it was rejected.

Had 2 tanks instant leave while doing my relic, was on the vault and helping an FC member level while i did my relic the tanks looked at me( idk why i was lv 60 and had full Yasha + more ilvl 180) and they left....they was in full eso/diadem.....

The situation is clear, it's all your fault! How dare you running a lv57 dungeon with i170-180 gear, you obviously suck!! </sarcasm>

Doing Main Story roulette with my lvl 60 whm for the tomes, get Prae, the other lvl 60 WHM asks 'Can u solo heal or are u bad?' and I loled pretty hard and just said 'I'm bad as hell' and he went 'ok, then u dps'
?___?

I lol'd :'D

Was tanking The Aery a few days ago to finish up the second step of the relic and got a SCH and it was straight up fairy only, no heals, final destination. Normally I'm happy to have a DPSing healer but they took it to the extreme and there were numerous occasions I dropped down to about 300 HP. Miraculously I never died once, Estinien almost did at the end though. Probably doesn't sound much like a horror story, but it certainly had me panicked at the time.

Couple of highlights from the relic ventures encountered this weekend, played Ninja:
Sohm Al, bard lbs first boss so he can kill wasps, because yes he was actively trying killing wasps. Vault, smn lbs first boss at 3%, then second boss at like 15%.
A Tank running Aery who is actually lvl 57, still using his i110 Novus. Low Lvl roulette for tomes, a thm using lvl 1-8 gear in Tam-Tara despite having plenty of 50s and a 60. Guy had like 280 HP while I, as a healer, had over 450...

On an awesome note, I queued for Sastasha HM and our tank couldn't load in. The gate finally went down after nearly 10 minutes, but he still wasn't in instance. Once the time accrued, we were able to kick, but no replacement in sight.So we, a ninja, a dragoon, and an astrologian, stole away into the salty night and completed from the beginning to the first boss. We didn't one shot that scorpion, but with some slight changes, the dragoon landed the killing blow while our bodies cheered on from the ground.
Our replacement came as the boss was dying lol. Was a great run!

And the Alex runs have been going well!

Qued main scenario got castrum...we killed first boss and went up the stairs, it was at this point the BLM decided we were not moving fast enough for them and pulled the mobs from the light too the point where we have to blow up the things with the drops from the vanguards, and they died and blamed us for it saying we were not moving fast enough and started going off about how we should of kicked them (cannot kick in combat who would of thought...lol) they were kicked shortly after.

It's time like that where you wish Equilibrium wasn't disabled due to level sync huh?

Ran into some very special people doing labyrinth of the ancients and syrcus tower this weekend. Just about everybody died at skeleton dragon but was like ok, we stopped dps and started to res people. I saw a bunch of the other healers up and full hp now was like ok...turns out there were 6 of us in the lockout, the other people had used return to start -_- why would you do that... Moving forward to ST and my whole party save one person and myself managed to not get on the floaty pads at the last boss not once but twice...what a sad group.

So I queued up on roulette and got The Vault. Now usually, I'm happy to do this dungeon as I find it fun (aside from the horrible cutscene ending T_T). I went in with my lvl 60 tank because I need the tomes. We enter and my first sign probably should of been that the healer then proceeded to pull the first mob. I was like, wtf?! But I simply thought that maybe they were new and I just waited until the mob got to us and pulled the hate off the healer. NBD. However, fighting the first mob, I noticed the healer let my hp get down to about 1/3. This honestly worried me a bit, as it was only, what? 4 enemies? So I decided I was going to do small pulls, as I didn't trust the healer at this point. Next few pulls went fine.

We get upstairs and now, the NIN in the group decides to run ahead of me and pull the mob. *Sigh*. Ok, once again, maybe he's new and doesn't realize how far the mobs aggro in here. I once again pull the hate once the mob closes in. We're close to the ser grinnaux fight and it's just the last 2 mob pulls before getting to him. Once again, due to the healer not seeming to be on top of things (last boss fight, the NIN died and I had to use clemency to keep myself up as well as help keep the other DPS up), I decided to not deal with the headache that was a mob and a bunch of AoE's from those horse guys. As I pull the mob, I notice the NIN seemed to of run off. And low and behold, he did exactly what I was hoping to avoid.... He pulled the other 2 back to us and so I had to dodge around like a madman to avoid all the AoE's shooting everywhere as well as stun like crazy (which means I'm not generating hate on the huge mob) because they do rampant targeting for their AoE. After we kill the mob, I simply asked that the NIN not pull for me. We enter the fight, kill Grinnaux, then after that fight, the NIN decided to respond to me saying "You can pull more than 1 mob at a time".

Now I didn't want to go around throwing people under the bus here, so I didn't blame the healer for my smaller pulls. But at this point, I wasn't too happy, so I responded with "If you wish to pull more and tank them, then be my guest". To my surprise, the healer chimed in at this point against me saying, "Not everyone reruns dungeons with their lvl 60". I thought maybe that was a knock on the NIN. Then I look and see everyone BUT me is NOT level sync'd (all 3 were level 57). Seriously?! That was a knock on me?!

I was pretty tempted to just leave at this point, but I still wanted my damn tomes. So I just decided to quickly finish things and just get out. To no surprise, I got no player coms on that run. The other DPS was quiet the entire run though and I had no issues with him at least. It just boggled my mind.

Aery, was on my ninja with my friend as tank.

Last boss I get trapped in the thing the boss does, which your party members have to kill to free you. It barely inches in health with one DoT on it before I die to it. There is a summoner too, but no rezzes head my way. Fight progresses slower and now summoner gets trapped by same skill and predictably dies. The healer rezzes the summoner who proceeds to swiftcast garuda rather than pay any attention to a still very dead ninja.

Wipe happens, we go to restart and my friend tells me that they tried to dismiss me.

I don't even know o-o

Bonus story: I once used another healer in titan ex farm as a decoy because he would get trapped in a goal and freed straight into landslide and to his doom by overzealous dps every time. I was free to heal however and revealed my plan afterwards ~
