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

What I mean is,The cast was finished at the moment I landed so there's no way to avoid that,Guess the timing is just bad.

I think she meant "back/sidestep into the platform that throws you down". That way you also land down there with your back/side facing Ozmashade, and thus don't get affected by Assimilation. Which is what I do every time, because I've gotten hit by the instassimilation on landing like 4 times X/

Did my levelling roulette as a NIN. Got a join in prog and the party was still warping into stone vigil, whatever someone just quit because they don't like it. Healer had the sprout icon but there was no bonus so I assumed everyone knew what to do. At the first boss the healer got hit by the last set of swinge and cleaved to death. I lb'd the boss and it died. The healer respawned, 30 secs go by, healer still not back, healer suddenly leaves. We sat there in silence, I can only assume the healer got confused and accidentally went out the exit instead of the shortcut :x

A funny memory I had when I went into ST for the first time in 2 months to finish my relic. I remember taking a bunch of my friends through this, it was their first time, we were all on ts, dispite it being their first time they asked me not to explain everything. Everything is fine until Xande, one of my friends gets the levitation orb and starts running around panicking shouting into ts "WHAT DO I DO WHAT DO I DO". We all being the best friends ever chased him while pissing ourselves laughing. To the other alliance members all they saw was a healer sprinting around the arena and the 7 other party members chasing him, must of been magic to witness xD.

Could be they ignore tells due to RMT spam? I know personally I definitely would've missed something like that.

Entirely possible, yes. They may not have figured out how to reply to tells, either. You raise a good point I'd forgotten about with sleeping. I'd forgotten about CC'ing mob (I was WHM for the run) because I usually play AST. I'll have to remember that for the future.

It always annoying when I jumped down to ozmashade while it casting "Assimilation" ...

In case you haven't realized, you can remove the debuff by facing away while it ticks down.. So even if you get it while falling, you don't have to become a rock.

Been casually-ish grinding out the last ~3 levels of DRK (a class I loathe) by doing Trials and Level 50 roulettes.

Got Qarn HM and was like, okay I kinda remember the big pulls for this place. So, I pull up until the first locked door, popping Foresight as I pull followed by Shadow Wall. I get like, really low? I'm like, okay. The healer recovers but I decide to maybe take is slower. By the time the mobs are all dead, Shadowskin is about 4-5 seconds from coming off CD. The only other CD I have is Awareness and Living Dead.

I pull the next mob, the healer unlocks the door and proceeds to pull the mob behind it - which I hadn't planned on doing. I go about gathering the mobs, and positioning them, and I could have sworn that I popped Shadowskin. Suddenly, I go down. The healer revives me, I accept, but by the time I get back up, everybody's dead except for a kiting MCH who goes down afterwards.

I die, respawn. The healer types out, "yes, let's just pull the entire room and pop no cds " I tell him that I thought I had popped Shadowskin but didn't, and apologized. Nothing for the rest of the run.

I dunno. I hate tanking on DRK, so much so that I tell everybody prior to starting that I loathe it and therefore won't perform excellently. But just the passive aggressiveness has been off the wall in DF lately. Like, chill. Please. Lol.

I just want to make sure. Pop the buff[s] once you've stopped at the place you want your mob to gather, not while you're running.
While you're running, unless you're lagging badly, you shouldn't be getting hurt too much. In case you do though, try to get hit in on everything as you're moving so that your healer will have some leeway to throw out a heal or Stoneskin mid-pull.

lawl. You're the one who pulled it, genius.

I typically wouldn't pop it while pulling if I was with a friend or somebody I know, because I trust them. But considering how DF healers are a crapshoot, I just pop it while pulling to mitigate some of the damage so there's less emergency-mode once everything is rounded up!

Been playing other stuff lately but I logged on today and noticed how little lore I've gotten this week so I do roulettes. Ran trial as whm and got Chrysalis, it was alright although I noticed the scholar was in cleric a lot of the time. I would be okay with this except that they weren't actually dpsing, they were just standing around... also Eos was on sic.

Expert roulette was uneventful. Ran it as ast with a drg friend and fed him all the cards. Lv50 roulette, I went in as pld, because pld is so easy even someone tank dumb like me can play it decently. Also instant queues are nice. Got Qarn HM. And then proceeded to give my poor healer a heart attack because I forgot to put shield oath on and I had pulled all the mobs up to the first door. They were cool about it when I apologized, and the rest of the run was smooth, but their reaction was so funny that, half an hour later, I'm still laughing about it. (I also understand why my friends are terrified at the idea of me tanking...)
