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

Just had a WHM telling me how bad I am at tanking because they refused to not regen me right before my pulls, leading to a lot of aggro I couldn't get because they never stopped running away from my AoE-enmity-generator.

I love tanking but sometimes the harassment makes wanna hate it.

I've been in parties with another WHM (WHM myself) who constantly use Regen and Medica II outside of battles. It really makes me hate them because I'm worried that everyone else will think it's me doing it. I really hope everyone notices which WHM is doing that.

Doing M2 normal as PAL MT. Get to the 2nd boss tell the DRK swap at 3 please their response yep! Get to 3 stacks.... 4......5 tank buster dead me.

Also had another DRK do this on purpose because of the new trend of ignoring the tank swaps -_- and used me as a test hamster. What's funny is I joined in progress while they were in the middle of discussing it telling the DRK that they see it ALLLL the time and think he can handle it. Well looks like they got their answer :c

Void Ark on BLM. DPS composition was
6 BLMs
2 summoners
2 ninja
4 bards
1 monk
Amount of Requiems sung: 0.
Life of a caster ;_;

I once had a run where there were so many mages - 2 BLMs and a SMN in my own party, 2-3 more in party B and party C was nothing but SMNs. And I was the only bard in the whole alliance. I did what I could but I only have so much MP. ;_;

Had a trial roulette a while back... I want to say it was Ifrit, but frankly I don't remember which one now, nor much of the party. Except this one guy that disconnects right off the bat (legit DC). So while we're waiting for him to come back, somebody gets impatient and pulls. People slowly join in and we eventually finish and leave before he returns :/ Anyway: moral of the story, you can do that trial without needing Massive Damage.

All of those trials can be done short people, they are geared for around ilvl 60-80, and you sync into it at 130 isn't it? Or are those 110? They are pretty mellow nowadays. Have fun and charge if someone leaves or whatever.


Though I see sooo many people making the most basic mistakes in ruda hm nowadays, it isn't the beautiful runs seen during light farming.

The joke is that the guy who DCed was named "Massive Damage" :P

It took me almost two years, but I developed a passive trait of Stoneskin that negates all incoming harassments. It sucks, but it's better than engaging with such talks.

Bards. Please use Paean on other party members that are debuffed. Relieve some stress from your healers. It's instant cast now man.

Had a Void Ark run where a few deaths could have been avoided if other bards threw out Paean to cure DoTs away. I was even using my own Paean to save another Bard in my party from the brink of death several times at the puke boss, but he never seemed to get the message or didn't even have the skill on the hotbar.

Although I can't exactly blame them as the skill was pretty useless before 3.2.

Bard is my secondary, and I'll admit I'm guilty of this. I completely forgot the skill changed. Thanks for the reminder!

Sorry, read that before my morning coffee. And you never know with some of the posts you see.
