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

This new WHM in the Arboretum... being new to the dungeon was not the problem. The problem was:
- they spammed Cure 2 and were always OOM
- I swear to god they only casted Cure 2 and Cure. That's it. Nothing else. No Regen, no Shroud, no Medica, no Medica 2.

It was incredible.

The other day I went into Level 50 roulette with my best friend.
There were two other very cool Roegadyn who seemed to be in the same FC.
And they kept making sexual innuendos throughout the whole dungeon.
My best friend even died at some point because she laughed so much she couldn't heal herself.
And at the end of the dungeon I hit lvl 60 BRD and got the achievement "Just talkin' 'bout shafts VI".

It was glorious. >.>

Yeah that Altar Pyre is a bitch. I get about 2fps on it, too.

I got in line for my Level 60 roulette, praying I wouldn't get Neverreap for the 4th day in a row. I was graciously blessed with Fractal! Yay!

...that joy quickly faded when I ripped aggro from the i180/200 geared tank on every pull as my WHM in Cleric Stance dpsing. After I've tanked a fair share of pulls past the first boss, the tank stops and says:

"Could you not stand so close? You'll get hit less."

I couldn't even.

Today in A3.

After I suggested to form a band, someone decided our first hit will be "And Not a Single Ballad was Sung".

I joined a daily trial to get the remaining 10 eso I needed to cap for the week, and the game picks Titan Hard. Okay, easy stuff right? Not quite...

People can't seem to get out of the weight of the land fast enough, on each attempt the same 2 dps were getting wiped out. One of the healers was getting hit with everything (landslides, bombs, weight). I was the tank and super overgeared, but the second tank kept standing in the front with me, as if they could somehow take hate from me and thought that they were the main tank. Sorry guy, if I'm stealing hate from you in sword oath, you're not the main tank. More annoying though was that him standing there meant he'd often trigger a weight of the land under him, so I had to keep moving the boss away from him... fortunately he was really stupid and usually ate a landslide to the face just before heart phase and would be knocked out for the remainder of the round.

The group tried several times, but always fell apart shortly after heart phase ended. Then the other tank (of all people) ragequits, which allowed me to get the hell out of that party and reroll another Trial.

I'm amazed though, that people still have THAT much trouble with Titan. If only I had Clemency at that level, I could've just solo'd the rest of it myself.

I spammed my weekly alex weekend spam and I was doing A4 and it was getting late for me and I was like, let's do one more! BIG MISTAKE. DPS was extremely low and mechanics were ignored and also we weren't able to work together. I felt like my whm partner was draining his mp idk how. during the doll add stage we stayed on that phase for about 4 or 5 rounds? I've never been in a run where we stayed on one phase for so long. It was torture! Obviously wiped, painfully. At first I was mad at the MT because he was just spamming for us to give up because we were gonna wipe and I wanted to not give up! But he obviously knew we were going to slow and it was just not meant to be. Such sadness and frustration especially when I spammed so many runs with no problems that day!

It's not that amazing, really, if you remember that not everyone has played since the beginning. So it's not "still having trouble" for them if they're still pretty new to it. I remember the first time I did Titan HM, I spent more time dead than alive. Of course, by now I've advanced so much that it's very easy for me, but not everyone is there yet.

So I had a fun experience last night. Did Ex Roulette with a friend. Got Arboretum. I was tanking a PLD, friend was MCH, got an AST and a BRD. First pull, things are going fine, but then a comment in party chat comes up. The healer said, "So MCH, you going to do any damage?". My friend had accidentally hit sprint and had to wait for a bit for regen (which was only a few seconds). We blew it off as a "whatever, just a silly comment". My friend and I are in voice chat btw. No issues after up to the 1st boss, but that would probably be because I kept all the hate on me up till that point, so everyone still had their stoneskins (which btw, I had to put on everyone). So now we're facing the 1st boss. Things seem to be going fine, but then my friend gets hit and poisoned. Nothing too bad, about 1/4 hp still left, so she's fine. My hp is fine, not even 3/4 down. No one else is very hurt. The healer literally LET her die. Lost about 2000 hp from poison and little hits because the healer refused to heal her. We were both sitting there like... wow, really?! I had tried to get a clemency off on her when I realized that the healer wasn't doing anything, but you know, kinda busy trying to tank and I got interrupted. He did decide to raise her though. And of all the timing, he raised her right as the boss decided to do extremely bad breath... So she got up and immediately got a faceful of poison again. This time however, I was thinking, "aw hell naw!" and used cover then clemency to save her. It worked and we finished up the boss. At this point, we were like, wtf is this healer's problem?! So we open the chest and one of the drops is the PLD belt. I had my eso belt, but I rolled NEED on it out of habit as I knew my friend didn't need it either. We kill the 1st guy after the 1st boss and then while beating him up, I get the gear. After we kill the enemy, the healer says, "Wow, that belt sure well do you good with your eso on."
Now normally, I'd be somewhat apologetic as that statement would of led me to believe he wanted/needed for one of his builds. However, seeing as he was being a butt up till now, I decided to throw fuel to the fire. I changed to my "fun outfit" gearset. Essentially, the christmas reindeer outfit. I then equipped the new belt and said, "There! Now it fits perfectly!" and started mandervilling. He was apparently not amused as he then quit on us. Honestly, was not sad at all by this. A new healer joined us in less than a minute and asked what happened. We told her and she just laughed when I told her how I reacted and she saw my outfit. I changed back to my main gear and we proceeded through the rest of the dungeon without any issues (aside from accidentally looking into belladonna's beautiful eyes during Frond Fatale once).
