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

i don't really understand the idea of people getting jealous over lewd macros? like sure, it's cringe as heck but... jealousy?
insecurity is a powerful force, i guess

I don't know if you were referring to me or someone else, but if it was me, then I never said I got jelous. In fact I said the exact same words you used. One thing is jelousy and romantic/sexual issues, another thing is being rude, tasteless and disrespectful, which my case was.

Went into A9n via DF last night..... 1st time we wiped is for some reason, the tanks are not getting healed. 2nd time we wiped..... the entire party's dps was so low that we can't even burn that <5% on the boss when the adds spawn -_-
Then some tales from RF; I was farming Thordan, Seph and Soph for mount
- PLD came into Thordan, request WAR to MT as he does not knows how to. Turns out even the WAR also dunno how to play main tank there. Proceed to abandon when that PLD did not re-position Thordan after DragonEye, causing a wipe... I was like really? Nvm timing for cds for tank busters, but shouldn't you be aware that you need to move the boss to align up with Sauron's eye??
- DRK with prototype midan acc and i210 weapon. Since he is relatively undergeared, the other drk became the MT. Proceed to wipe when the DRK is either too slow to take towers, or move out of them before Sep's fist came down.
- Sophie Ex: This nin who consistently get blown off the stage at nearly opportunity available. Makes me think either someone else was playing his account and cleared for him or he bought it..... Wiped to enrage x 2. Then next RF encounter him again -_-

That sounds like the run I just had. Went in with two friends, me on BRD, and them on PLD/WAR. Heals were WHM/AST. WHM pretty much DPS'd until they were OOM, leaving the AST to solo heal until they were OOM, and I had none because I had just played Foe's for the casters to try and push the horrendously slow DPS in there (saw 2 Scraplines for the first time ever). And I died to Full-Metal Faust because the AST was solo-healing, and no one healed the OT. And I had second highest hate so when he went down, I got hit twice by Faust and bit the dust (bards are not good tanking material D: ).

I am all for healers DPSing in between healing. But don't DPS until you have no MP and then cry to the bard or machinist in the party for MP. Or leave your co-healer to try and solo heal in a fight where both tanks are taking a lot of damage. If you're going to DPS and heal, you need to find a balance and utilize your own MP regen tools. Not just Stone III spam until OOM and then complain about not having any. (Besides, I can't play you a song if I'm dead anyways so...)

Also, standing behind the rocks prevents the concussion debuff. Which they also complained about. Don't complain about getting cleaved by that if you aren't going to do the mechanic. :|

Just did the Minstrel's Ballad: Ultima Weapon

It took us 5 attempts because no one was grabbing the orbs. People kept dying for silly reasons. One of our tanks was berating the monk for not eating the orbs. Even after we killed it the tank was still throwing insults at the monk =/

It was just so frustrating

[Frowny]

A happy story. DRK in my FC new to A12 so I went as my WHM. Not comfortable healing it but... why not? NO WIPES, my DRK did VERY good (goofed on adds but recovered fast), easy clear... I'm a proud man ;-;

Party Member: Why didn't you LB?
Me thinking: Oh, I'm the Melee. Oops.

This happens way to often. Recently during a Bismarck EX for a Tails Sticker. And I haven't really done Bismarck since it was relevant (like a year ago), so as soon as it shuddered I jumped off. It flew away with like 1%. So if I LB'd or just stuck around it would've ended.

-A9s-
ST could not hold any hate on adds. Just my Death Blossoms were stealing hate...

I will just say, the off-tank (I'm assuming that's "ST") doesn't need to hold hate. The adds will tether to whomever dropped the power generator that activated them, and will attack only that person regardless of enmity (unless that person dies). The only add which doesn't tether is Faust; that's the only one the OT needs to worry about aggro on.

As for the rest of the story... ouch.

-rubs temples- So I'm running Keeper of the Lake and we make it to Midgardsormr... And the tank pulls the second dragon away from him so it gets buffed, which means it takes like 2x as long to kill. I die trying to let him know he has it too far away, and the healer rezzes me but the tank still doesn't move the dragon close enough, so I try to let them know.

"Just attack it."

The tank replies. I'm just like...

Ok I LOVE to do my job. But can you please do yours!? Ug. I swear. YOU HAVE ONE JOB. STAND THERE AND HOLD IT SO I CAN ATTACK IT PLEASE DO IT.

This must be the thing now.. had an eerily similar run on A9 last night :v friend on AST had to solo heal, the WHM was not healing at all and barely DPS'ing either. Good thing he rocks at what he does xD

[ReiShiame]

Did A12N with my i240 WHM. The co healer was an AST with something like 23k HP.
I jost got back in the game and still have my trouble getting accustomed to everything and the new fights, but the AST stayed in Cleric the whole fight and didn't heal at all.
However, I managed to keep the party alive and we didn't wipe at all. Feeling a bit proud, though it's probably nothing special.
