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

Honestly speaking I don't see any problem with what they said in that image.

They just said not to pull so much if you can't handle it, which is actually pretty sound advice.

Like I mentioned, I popped defensive cooldowns and wasn't getting heals so I couldn't magically grab the healer's devices and heal myself I didn't even bother mentioning to the healer that I wasn't being healed because when I saw the first reply I knew I'd be wasting my time so I just went about business.

You decided not to pull bigger mobs because of what the healer said? If you can keep aggro it's YOUR fault that you can't pull bigger. And don't blame a healer for using ss during battle, they were probably applying it to the dps that were having their face smashed by the packs you couldn't hold. And you'll just cap tanks and never do it again? Please do.

In all fairness, Geula said "Gonna make a big pull" - when you see that as a DPS you shouldn't just go hammer out your DPS as the tank is running.

WHM using stoneskin as much as they were sounded pretty crazy - if the DPS are getting hit, use cure on them heh.

[BorisDaBlade]

They did say no one died so maybe the healer used a couple of cures idk, lol. But to pass the blame on the healer for small pulls because they as a tank can't keep aggro, just no. Geula even mentioned that they saw a blm, so they should have expected the nukes.

Regardless of what the healer is casting, if you start losing mobs then that's probably over your pull limit, not what the healer can handle. Take responsibility for your bad tanking.

Sorry, reading the post just rubbed me the wrong way.

I'm sure you could also pull big pulls while stepping into a dungeon with no prior experience on that role and giving people a heads up about trying to make a big pull while being undergeared. If I was the healer I'd measure how much the tank would be getting chunked at first before I started going ham. If I was the DPS i'd let the tank grab the pack and see on what I'm building aggro. But I can only speak about this because I have a perspective from those roles.

Sure use your first big pull as a measuring stick for what you can do with a new job, that's ok. But when you can't hold on to hate because you weren't able to aoe aggro enough is still a limit to your ability not the healers problem. Dps may have been able to help you a little by single targeting, but when you pull big you're giving the green light for them to go ham.

really, all 4 of them were in the wrong - but it's Brayflox, so that is expected.

New tank, don't do a big pull to start out.
DPS, tank says I am going to do a big pull, wait til they are done pulling before you DPS.
Healer, don't spam stoneskin in battle when everyone is getting hit, it's slow and mp inefficient

Random DF scene in Lost City HM as tank

*drags mob into the light*
*SMN's ruda knockback mob off the light to the left*
*tries to drag mob back into the light again*
*WHM's Fluid Aura knocks the same mob off the light, this time to the right*

But whyyyyyy???

On the bright side, the other DPS isn't a MCH.

I may be reading his post wrong, but what I got from Geula is he lost aggro somewhere between his shield lob to get the first pack, and getting in range to shield lob the second, before he really had a chance to establish hate, meaning the dps went ham before he could even finish pulling the two groups of mobs.

I almost miss the days when light farming was a thing, back then even in df it was the norm to just dps down Garuda in HM, ignore the feathers/sisters and pull her to the south after she casts her ultimate. Alas, that strategy seems to be lost to the ages. I don't mind so much people dpsing the adds when I get Garuda HM in trial roulette (even though I feel it's not time efficient), but please, stop trying to tank her in the middle. I'm tired of watching the entire party getting knocked around like rag dolls when the tornadoes come out.
