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

I
A lot of healers I run into in general seem to think not healing debuffs is acceptable, and it's one of the most infuriating signs of a bad healer I have seen, right up there with not having Swiftcast.

It utterly baffles me how many healers think this is fine. I'm not sure if they don't care, or they want to sit back and watch Netflix while tossing out an occasional cure when the tank goes down a bit.

Had an OT in the 50 roulette that was a know it all despite rarely if ever picking anything up. I understand if they are new to tanking, but please don't act like a know it all especially if you don't know what you are doing.

Good run! I recently ran a lost city hard and explained at the start that I would like to try a gritless run, just to see how it went and for a fun challenge. DPS and heals were all for it! It was a smooth run all the way, though I did occasionally struggle to hold agro against the DPS who were both well geared. We even had time as we mowed down bosses and enemies!

So, I've got a couple tales to tell, both from yesterday.

The first one:
So, I'm trying to level up DRK. Fire up DF and get Halatali. The run was going pretty good until midway, when the thaumaturge decided to start pulling everything left and right. I politely ask him to let me deal with pulling the mobs, with no response and continued mob pulling from said THM. The others ask the same thing: no response other than the THM continuing to pull mobs. Finally, someone initiated a vote kick against the THM (I can't remember what the reason was, though). The vote went through, THM got kicked, and a BRD joined us for the rest of the dungeon. I wished I could have given commendations to both the healer and the Rogue for their patience in dealing with the THM.


Second one:
Ravana (hard mode) this time. I had set up a party with a friend of mine because this was my first time fighting Ravana (I had switched over to DRG for this fight). Didn't start off too well. We wiped due to too many swords the first time, then had almost three-fourths of the group drop out. Wait for a bit as more come in, then go to fight Ravana the second time. Made it past the Chandrahas attack and started wailing on him, only to wipe again. So, third time comes up. This time, we rip through the Ganas, take virtually no damage from Chandrahas, and then proceed to start dying one by one. Myself, my buddy, and at least three others are telling the second healer (my buddy was the first) to LB3, while I desperately attempt to either burn down the boss or get him away from the healer. Second healer decides to res my buddy, my buddy LB3s, and we immediately get back to work. Then came Pillars of Heaven knocking me off the platform, leaving me to watch my group utterly obliterate Ravana.
My buddy got most of the comms for the LB3, and I got 1 comm.

Today Roulette leveling gave me Stone Vigil with a tank doing big pull around.
I had luck in keep all alive and won 3 commendation, but I hate big pull x.x

And I had to use mp potion same playing as scholar and without needed to use Resurrection. Rare.

Had a group on my alt yesterday, got Halatali for roulette. Healer instantly starts whining before the gate drops about hating this dungeon, then complains that the tank is new. We get to the second pull and healer instantly chimes in "I don't want to do this vote kick me." To which we all reply then just leave so we can get a new healer. He continues moaning and crying then says "Screw it I will sit here until you kick me." So we continue without the healer, make it to the first boss, he disconnects and we pull the first boss without him. We almost manage to down the boss but the Dragoon disconnects for over a minute and the tank dies. We wipe at 3% and the healer logs back on. "Well this is taking longer than the 30 minute would have been so bye." We ended up reporting him, got a new healer and the run went smoothly after that.

I got two stories

I do my leveling roulette as SCH and I get totorak. I decide to summon Selene for debuff and the tank kept getting angry for not using esuna. I tell him politely that I cant use the skill and he starts yelling at how bad SCHs are and leaves dungeon..

Then I do the Vault, and I keep seeing this SMN doing swiftcast + Miasma II. I asked why and he simply said "for insta cast you idiot!" I didnt say anything after that...

snip

I laughed at this but at the same time... This guy didnt do his 45 class quest which means.... He didnt do any afterwards... Oh god... >.> I would have left too.. Okay you can get away with the skills but come on..

[Zefiris]

Doing Aery to try catch gear for my Mch. After second boss, tank and 2 dps only leave...
Well, I was alone there, screen appeared asking replenishment, I clicked no and so Vote Abandon.
That 3 was from same guild/server. Perhaps only leveling and quit. Not sure.
