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

Second is Titan normal. This one was so frustrating since I'm on ps4 and keyboard wasn't working at the time so I couldn't say anything. Healer tries to heal in cleric stance on the first attempt and was healing me for less than 250. I burned through every cooldown but still went down and we wiped. Second attempt, he didn't use cleric but still barely heals for 300hp. We barely clear. He only used cure I and medica, no regen, cure II. I have no idea how he made it to lvl36 like that.

To be fair, Regen would be a fairly new spell in a WHM arsenal at that point, which is further complicated by the fact that you generally don't want to cast it BEFORE a pull, and Titan is also the first fight in the game where party wide damage is occurring on a regular basis. For healers, especially those that started the game as one, Titan is a massive step up in difficulty and will likely cause them to panic like hell. You don't get Shroud of Saints for that fight either, so using Cure II too much will cause WHMs to run out of MP in that fight.

I'll have to check my actions when I get in, but do you even have Regen at that point? For some reason, I have it in my head that SV is the first instance where you have it.

Regen = lv 35
Titan Normal Min. Level = lv 34

Since it doesn't sync until 36 the WHM would have had Regen

Ah, ty for the correction. Maybe it was SV when I really caught on to how great it was.

I personally don't mind banter during dungeons but uh
maybe keep it PG 13 in the public chat, huh? Please.

You can actually report people who don't. Any overly risque or ERP-esque chatter has to be done through tell or party (with everyone in said party okay with it.)

Unless the WHM was level 34 and unsynced, of course.
Alternately, isn't the skill gained through the class quests? It isn't hard for a new player to miss those, or not get around to them immediately upon leveling. Especially if they were following the MSQ leading up to the Titan fight.

Not a bad story, but not really a good one either. Ive been spamming crystal tower raids the past week for some of that sweet bard glamour.

Wednesday night I got in 3 runs with queue times. Well my gear was like all 10%. I said aw I'll get it tomorrow when I log on. I log on last night, queue up right away because queue times are usually at least 30 minutes. Miraculously it pops right away, world of darkness.

Something goes off in the first trash pack (someone chastised that it could have been stunned) that destroyed me. And I see the long list of all my hear hitting 0%. And I remember that I was supposed to repair.

Luckily I had my i200 relic bow to replace my broken eso bow with, but I only had about 2700 hp. I alerted the group that they could kick me if they wanted, no one wanted to (thanks you guys) and the healers kept an eye on me, but there were some big hits that just destroyed me. Thanks to those people for carrying my ass lol

I remember my first time doing titan as a healer... it was horrible. I went in thinking, psh, just titan, nbd. Dear lord, I didn't know yet. All you lovely healers out there, my heart goes out to you precious precious angels. One of my DPS died (the newbie too poor fella) because I didn't know how to manage my MP well yet. Blew too many Cure II's that weren't free when the tank took big hits and was using medica too much to heal party wide dmg. Titan was at like, 75% hp still and I looked at my mana bar and was like "Oh god. I'm almost empty o.O" Popped a hi-ether and it seemed like I got practically no MP back T_T I was a fresh lvl 34 healer for this as well, so I didn't even have regen. I was barely keeping the tank and the dragoon alive (and me of course) with Cure I's and praying for cure II proc's to save me (and they did). There were a few instances where I was literally sitting with no MP and pressing the cure button like a crazed lunatic waiting for the MP to regen enough.

One time I got Titan normal for trial roulette on WHM and it was absolutely insane. Dps didn't know the fight, kept getting knocked off due to landslides, and it was just me and the PLD. I dps'd the hell out of that heart. When I got locked in jail, the PLD busted me out. It was rough and the fight went forever and at one point the PLD was kiting Titan to avoid his auto attacks while I kept him alive with regen and swapped to CS and dps'd, but after three wipes we had this unspoken determination. We stuck it out and cleared with the dps on the floor.

This made me laugh harder than it should have.

They didn't say anything too lewd. But they were constantly saying things like;

"Oh, honey buns. I love you so much."
"Me too. When I get out of here I'm gonna show you what kind of man I am."
"Take me. Take all of me." *Removes pants*

They were... really in a "mood" or they were having fun being trolls. Either way, as two DPS, my boyfriend and I had spent forever in queue so we didn't want to abandon ship. We did have a ton of laughs at their expense, though.
