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

[SaitoHikari]

Not a duty finder thing, but funny enough to mention yet probably doesn't deserve its own thread.

You all know the S-rank Bonnacon, right? Today in Sarg, it spawned right outside of Aleport. What was added there recently? The Mentor building.

So the person tanking it decides it'd be hilarious to go pull it inside the building during the last 50% of its HP. Cue hilarious chaos from all the ranged throwing everything through the doorway and all the melee wildly swinging away in that tiny crowded space. Everyone could hear the Prey sound effect but nobody could tell who had it. And the hysteria...

Reminds me of my first vault run where tank would blame healer for letting us wipe, when tank was an asshat anyway. And healer was vote kicked. So, I go guns blazing at this guy, replying sarcastically and even though I wasn't swearing or anything, all I said was "Don't blame healer for your mistake, play better by knowing what you did wrong" and eventually new healer joins, and I'm vote kicked. Odd encounter, but I found it funny as hell. He was so determined on blaming the healer too. People these days...

That's great lol. If there were any new sprouts in there they probably had a heart attack.

Woke up early, decided to hop on and do some morning roulettes. First problem. I thought I had clicked trial roulette. To my surprise, i was in the aery. But I say oh well and proceed. It's me as tank (PLD), AST, NIN and a BRD. BRD is new to the map. I decide to pull the 1st two mobs together. Things were.... uh, slow. I nearly died and had to pop my hallowed ground. From that point, i decided to pull smaller. Things seem to be fine, then we get to 1st boss and I stop for a sec (seeing if the BRD was going to ask for explanation) and I watch as the NIN continues running forward. And he pulled. So, I pull the boss off him and we proceed to kill it. I decided to just let this one go. As we proceed to the next pull, I'm waiting (because the others are lagging behind us) and watch as the NIN pulls yet again. At this point, I decided to speak up and asked him not to pull unless he wanted to tank them. His response was just "huton ;-;"

Now, I have a NIN as well and I do understand, it's nice to keep huton up instead of reproc'ing it all the time. But on the aery... come on... you gotta know you're going to have to reproc on a few areas. You have to run around empty spaces half the time cause it's so frickin big. But apparently he wasn't having it. We hit the caves and I'm purposefully trying to skip the sleeping dragons. Apparently that was not wanted :P The NIN kept hitting the dragon and pulling him for me. Now, I'm fine if you want to get the xp from kills.... but the issue here was... I had already pulled 2 mobs and now I have this big dragon throwing AoE's down every 5 seconds.... was quite annoying and I had to pop HG again. We get through, I don't say anything yet again.

2nd boss goes down, not much issue, but during, the other DPS was killing the gas bomb. NIN yells at him not to touch it and the BRD simply asks why. No one responds, (i thought maybe the NIN would...) and so the BRD asks again. While he was typing, the boss threw a gas ball on him and he died. We kill boss and then I explain why we don't kill the adds right away. And low and behold, to my surprise, i look up and the NIN pulled the next mob.

I just type "nope". Then he types in "sorry, I didn't mean to" (yea right...) and then proceeds to run down the stairs to meet us with his new friends. I pull off and take and once again, ask him to stop pulling for me. As we continue, the BRD says "brb, parenting things". Perfectly fine, I can wait, but the group decides we'll just kill the next few mobs, shouldn't be an issue. We get to the 3 dragons (which can do some decent dmg off the bat). Judging by how some of the pulls went before, I decide it's best to wait until we have all 4 here. The NIN begins to get angry with me because I decided to wait and his huton fell off (and the BRD was on their way btw). I ignore him and pull when the BRD was close enough. Then we finally get to the last boss... guess who decided to pull when the other player was still at the bottom of the stairs and watching the cutscene? I'll give you 3 guesses.

The healer was standing inside of the purple, I decided to stand right outside of it and the NIN decided to pull Niddhog back to the gate. The BRD came out of the cutscene and was sprinting to get there in time (and I truly thought he wasn't going to make it). Literally, as it closes off, the BRD makes it and the NIN steps out.... *facepalm*.

I say sorry to the healer and BRD because I truly didn't think the BRD was going to make it in time. The other two say it's fine as niddhog proceeds to murder them while the NIN and I watch in horror. So while the other 2 are running back (which you know takes like, 10 minutes), he proceeds to tell me what a horrible tank I am and that I should "turn in my tanking card". Yeeeeaaaaaaahhh. I just tell him once again, not to pull for me, especially when they full party isn't even there for the boss fight.

We kill niddhog, no real issues and I just decide to say "good run everyone" even though I really wanted to just punch that NIN in the face. Then the NIN says "gj everyone" and I'm all like, oh yay, he's being nice. 2 seconds later, "except for fohl" =_=

prick.

Midas was a special place last night. So many unplanned tank swaps because except for A5 it never seemed like there were two healers in the party even though there were two green icons. -_-

[AlwaysGuilty]

So, for some reason, I'm healing terrible today, I need better gear, so run Aery, and at 1st boss, we wipe. So, I've never been tethered before, so I completely forgot, and I had tank and bard moaning at me. Wasn't in a mood to be civilised, and when bard was moaning at me about healing myself, I said I was. And I really was healing myself. We wipe and do it fine 2nd try. All is fine until Nidhogg, where everything goes to shit. Low mp, Estininen low health etc. But what confused me is that last night, I was able to do it fine with 0% condition (Can't believe I forgot to repair), first time too. Anyway, we try again, and when Nidhogg does his shit as adds spawn, one of the dps gets caught in a sable price, and I have to go over to heal 'em all as they needed it, at that time Estinien had just over 3/4 health, so I was like, that should be fine for a couple of secs, I was wrong. He was down to 1/4 not even 5 secs later.

I wasted 50-60% mp trying to heal him, but we ended up wiping. I say in chat "Sorry, I'm healing terrible today. You're better off with a better healer :c", and tank said it would take awhile (obviously). But, I left anyway, felt like crap.

Sorry to the party, really am, hope you didn't have to wait long!

"I'm a raid sch. I don't need protect cross-classed."

From a charming scholar I had yesterday in a8n. Being a "raid sch" also includes dpsing fulltime, not helping the ast mitigate/heal the tank taking perpetual ray, not helping the ast heal/mitigate anything at all actually, calling the tanks garbage for dying all the time, not helping with the regulators that keep exploding because the melee couldn't be bothered, and saying people must be trolling after each of our 5-6 wipes. We only got past Onslaughter once, to die at Brawler blowing up half the party with a buster. A vote abandon went through after that pull.

"It only reduces a tiny bit of physical damage."

I thought tuesdays were supposed to be good.

Someone give that more player that keeps apologising a hug ;

And that's an understatement.

Interesting CT run yesterday.

I went WHM for all of them because I enjoy healing them. For LotA, and FC mate went as their paladin. We were alliance A. Well, one of the tanks from B (a WAR) spent the entire raid trying to take aggro from my FC mate, and for one fight (the last one I believe), they decided to pull with only 4 or 5 of the other alliance members actually at the boss room. The rest of us stood outside and watched them get squished. Same tank was in the rest of our CT and proceeded to sprint ahead of everyone to try and reach the boss first (guess they really wanted to MT). And the tank in our alliance for WoD spent 90% just autoattacking the boss. Because they wanted to watch Netflix instead. The BRD in our alliance also lb3'd Cloud of Darkness and it. was. so. great. I love BRD lb3 and use it every chance I get. Melee weren't happy but. Oh well.

Also, got St. Mocianne's for 60 roulette, and during my opener for the bee boss (I was on BRD), I crit so many times that I pulled aggro from the tank (DRK). Yeah that was a painful few seconds until they could take it back from me. but seeing my Sidewinder crit is always so satisfying. I don't think it was them...they were geared completely in lore gear (some melded, some not). I just think I got a little carried away on my BRD.

For 50 roulette, got Keeper of the Lake. FC mate left because he hates that dungeon, but I didn't want to have to requeue because it was late and I had to sleep soon (stupid early work shifts) so we had a very squishy BRD tank (ow it hurts) until the MCH rejoined on their tank. And the comm'd me for a job well done.

And for weekly VA, stole hate briefly on stingray boss (kinda scary seeing it come at me like that D: ), and maybe people were just being lazy, but I stayed 2nd or 3rd on the aggro list the entire time for our alliance. Beaten only by the BLM with my Foe's. There's no way I'm that good on my BRD (I mean, I don't think I suck, but I know I could improve my overall DPS), so others must have been either undergeared or just lazy.
