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

Ah that's cute xD

BF and I do most DF stuff together too and often I'll get a comm or a lot of them lol and sometimes he gets none. Every time that happens he's like "that's it! I'm gonna fantasia to a female character."

He thinks I get them cause I am female lol I keep telling him its just because healers seem to get a lot of comms. He just doesn't believe me! lol

I'm a paladin and my husband plays a white mage. Guess who gets all the comms.



Not the cute catboy, no. The elezen with the grumpy old man face gets the comms, cause he makes the heals.

A couple months ago I saw a person on the forums talking about an experiment they ran. They created 2 alts, a male and female tank and kept everything the same for both except gender. They leveled the alts to 50, primarily through dungeons to see how many comms each would get. The female alt had about 20-30% more comms; I don't remember the exact amount but it wasn't an insignificant difference.

[Mysterysword]

So just to be positive and prove I'm not a completely bitter, crazy cat lady, I'll tell a nice story.

Amdapor Keep HM, party composition was MCH, MCH, SCH, and WAR, I believe. Definitely double MCH. Now, I'm not very good or experienced with MCH, so I'm thinking this might be slower than usual, but hardly impossible.

The whole run, start to finish, took 20 minutes. The SCH was barely DPSing, but trash was melting like butter anyway, and I haven't seen such a smooth run of this dungeon in weeks. We finished up the Demon Walls room with 90 seconds to spare, and the final boss' growing AOE barely covered half the room before all the adds were dead. I didn't even know I had such DPS potential in me as MCH.

One thing I have learned is that if MCH wants to they can turn themselves into a pack melting rapid fire howitzer by using Reload, Rapid Fire, Hawk's Eye, Raging Strikes, Blood for Blood, Bishop Autoturret, Grenado Shot, and Quick Reload.

That is 6 shots of 140 potency AoEs with +30% damage, +16% attack power, supported by the extra 60 potency attacks every 2-3 seconds. If you got 2 MCH doing that most mob packs will be utterly melted into slag.

Yeah but he's stands out from the crowd - I'd give him comms too just for being cool lol.

Okay... honestly I don't know where these DRKs are coming from but lately every time I run EX roulette and get a DRK as a tank they dont use Darkside at ALL and to top it all off use no CDs.

The only time they do is when we do a boss fight and after that they remove it again

Just had a run today on Sastasha HM with yet ANOTHER one. Everyone was 60 except for our BLM (I was on sch) and the tank drk knight was pulling a single mob at a time, it felt like foreeeveeerrrrr

Yesterday done Mhach with my new raid group as our first raid.

Was made into Mt and all went smoothly.

We wiped just once against the megadead one due to another group failing their add and were killed by genkidama and once against ozma, our group was all healthy when the other two were wiped out.

2ND time we nailed it. And last boss was easy peasy.

Some people were a little salty since I use warrior of light - quote - macros for my buffs but that's it.

[Zari]

Went into A8 for the first time in a while today trying to get tokens to gear up an alt job I want to start using (MCH), and had the worst party I have EVER seen in A8. Worst part is, they knew the mechanics and still fucked them all up every time.

[SaitoHikari]

Was in a Void Ark a few nights ago where the tanks in other alliances kept pulling ASAP, locking my party's tank out at wolves and at Echidina.

At wolves, I declared I was going to tank our party's wolf. As a Bard. I somehow ended up successfully doing it, to the shock of everyone else in the party. Though I had to blow Blunt Arrow early in an attempt to keep aggro and got the whole alliance's eardrums blown out as a result.

At Echidina, I had trouble finding the add that didn't have a tank to aggro to, so I wasn't able to tank that one. But as soon as Echidina re-formed, I somehow rip aggro off of the tank and proceeded to get cleaved in half.

Girl, I feel you. I've been wondering the same myself of late!
