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

That wonderful feeling when you go into A8 and the other tank fails to execute the tank swap properly so you die and then he decides it's your fault and he has to MT it by himself.

[AskaRay]

That wonderful feeling when the Antitower doesn't take 50 minutes and instead just takes 20 because everyone knows their job :')

I forgot to repair my gear so I finished M2 with ilvl 180 (had the ARR first stage of zodiac as weap LOL). M3 we cleared with only one tank... Good times! I am having so much fun since this patch hit :3

That wonderful feeling when you're tanking ALL THE ROULETTES with your healer and dps forget to LB so consistently it becomes the running joke of the night.

"Eh, I guess he's saving it for later too."

"Next boss YOU should just use it, that'll show em."

Here is one that is short and kind of funny. I que as SCH with my sister as PLD for expert. We get Antitower. The whole dungeon went great; everyone knew what to do. Get to final boss and just before we were about to start the fight; a wasp suddenly appears in our room scaring us right out where we were sitting. We end up AFKing for a few to get our brother to kill it. It disappears when he looks for it. O.o We come back and tell the DPS what happened/why we AFKed; we quickly take down the boss and exit the dungeon. After the dungeon, our brother finally finds and kills the wasp. We just really hate wasps or bugs in general. >.< So hats to you DPS that didn't kick us; sorry about that. xD You each earned your comm even if we didn't get one.

Got one of those "fancy" DF tanks who think they know how to tank using dps stance. Couldn't hold aggro. Wiped twice. I left. Just not in the mood today -_-

Neverreap as AST, and this warrior is pulling tiny groups although he has the gear for the big ones (i210-ish) and a SMN and BLM in the party. I don't wanna complain, so I carefully say "I wouldn't mind bigger pulls ^^", which makes the warrior leave the half-dead group we're on at that moment behind to pull the rest of the island (we were on the second one). I feel like "whee, let's melt these mobs with sheer aoe power!", throw my aoe balance... and notice the summoner never using Dreadwyrm Trance or any Aetherflow move, while the BLM uses single target spells and not a single Enochian throughout the entire dungeon.

Mobs took longer to die than on my very first Neverreap run (which I had when the dungeon was one or two weeks old, I was on BLM that day, and I'm a shitty BLM - but at least I find the Enochian button and know when to spam aoe) ._.

I ran the Aubatorium as a tank once with a very annoying bard. When we reached the first boss, he ran in and pulled the boss while I was waiting for the healer to get us all ready.
When the bard died, he proceeded to insult my tanking abilities and random personal insults too! D:

Unfortunately there are people like that. When I tank, I wait for the healer's mp to be back up, and always do a ready check before each boss. A little teamwork can go a long way towards making a duty enjoyable and painless. ^_^

That is a person with the typical speed run mentality. They should go and play single player video games not online mmos.

Don't worry too much about those people. You will find them everywhere you go.
