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

Did an early morning Main Scenario roulette just now, and got paired with what can I only assume to be a fresh Dark Knight and his friends. So as soon as we start I pop Defiance, and we go. The run seems smooth and without problems, until I notice the Drk is OTing in Grit and spamming his Power Slash combo. -_- I raised the question, and I'm honestly not sure if I was complimented or insulted by the following message.



Ugh, it's too early for this bs. q.q

Lol looks like they immediately got defensive when you asked a question. I hate internet pseudo-tough-guys who try to mask their passive aggressiveness with "^^" and "" and other happy emotes. Generally if I ask a question and someone gets snarky like that with me I just immediately stop feeding the troll and live and let live.

The irritating part is that they're so bad at being shady because it's glaringly obvious... like, learn to throw shade better. =/

Now, I'm curious to know how exactly they managed to get an i230 relic weapon, when all they seem to use is Rage of Halone and a handful of oGCDs (namely, Sheltron and Shield Swipe).

Sad enough, but you don't actually need to understand your job to obtain a relic weapon, it's all mindless grinding

They changed green leaf status a bit ago. It used to be 40 hours of gameplay = gone, but now it's 168+ hours and finishing 2.55 storyline.

Wait... doesn't A5 require you to finish 2.55 storyline? O.o or is it a case of "168 hours and finishing 2.55, whichever comes later?" So you can finish 2.55 as long as you're below the number of hours, and you can be above the hours as long as you haven't reached HW areas?

Correct. It's and, not or. You need both for the green leaf status to automatically disappear.

Thanks ^^ Less confused now.

So EX Roulette today on summoner, got Antitower. DRK, SCH, and MNK where the other players. Got through everything and then during the final boss, the tank DCed. So I pulled out Titan Egi and made a pretty good effort but he couldn't snap aggro off me at that point so we end up wiping. Tank still hasn't come back, we try again but this time I have Titan-Egi out from the get-go and I'm throwing out Rouse and Spur and putting E4E on him and sustain. I had to resummon him a few times and at one point the scholar died so I rezzed them and then the monk died and I rezzed them and when I died the scholar raised me and at that point the monk was doing a pretty good job tanking and Calcabrina's health was low so I just pulled out Garuda for the last 10% to burn, and we managed to kill it. It was pretty cool; one of those runs where you wish you could commend more than one person.

Just did AK normal as 50 roulette with a few FC mates. I went as Pld, FC mates were Bard and Drg, and we got a DF Scholar. So i wait for Scholar to cast protect...and it never comes. So i ask for protect, and the Scholar says he doesnt have it cross classed...

How can any healer not have protect cross classed? Is this just something new that i'm not familiar with?

[LordLucavi]

Dropped in to AV on my MCH today via levelling roulette. Everyone says hello but the tank, who also takes forever to start moving. He pulls the first mob pack, and keeps losing hate. I checked his gear, it's all Ironworks stuff capped, so it's not a gear issue. After a few minutes of doing nothing, he pulls the next pack and I watch his rotation. It's happening, just...slowly. We manage to slowly clear up to the first boss, and the tank just says "omg, I'm so high. I need to go lol" and drops. Healer drops, me and the mnk sit around for a few minutes and just leave. Hooray for stoners.

One of my LS friends told me a story of Snowcloak where they mistook a lalafel with a spriggan cap for a spriggan and tried to freeze them xD
