3 BLMs, 1 BRD and no Foe's = Sadness

[MoonPhaseAlpha]

Sad, true story here:

Went into a Duty Roulette Trial and got Ramuh. Party consisted of 3 black mages and 1 bard. Now, I main bard so when I see three black mages in my group, my first thought goes to putting up Foe's. So, this was my expectation with this bard.

Much to my disappointment, no Foe's was to be had. Instead, the bard decided to put up Army's Paeon when the adds popped.. Really?!?! /sigh...

My soul was destroyed a little...

Story of my life honestly

[Sora-san]

Bard is probably trolling or doesn't know which song does which ?

But anyway, you could have posted this in Tales from Duty Finder thread

I had same experience so I asked the BRD we had PLD WHM BLM so who needs Paeon?
"For myself", he replied. ^^;

I'm one of those healers that likes to dps the hell out of instances to save us all some time on these repetitive runs. Every time I get a Bard that doesn't use Foe's (which is pretty often), I die a little inside. And we shouldn't have to ask for it either. It's your job. You see a caster in your party, you use Foe's... which is clearly beyond most of their comprehension and ability.

some people don't wanna use it because the cast time causes their own dps to get slightly lower.

This works both ways.

1 BLM, 1 SCH, Foes on every pull, BV enhanced on bosses. No commendation. As much as forumgoers complain about BRDs not singing Foes, it wouldn't surprise me if 99% of the casters I see in DF don't even know what Foes is.

It does go both ways. Noticed a DPSing Scholar in a leveling roulette run, so I used Foe. Got told by the tank to turn it off because it doesn't benefit him or the other DPS.

Generally bards not singing AT ALL seems to be the norm though.

Granted if it's just a WHM or AST foes should be asked for...half the time SCHs don't even dps so why waste mp when it's not making any difference...and I say that cause I've played foes for the healers before and they are dps'n like 30% of the time or not at all
