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

Did A8N on my monk where the DRK tank kept yelling at the healer for being in cleric stance so much and 'letting him die'.

Meanwhile they dropped their tank stance, losing aggro to myself and another dps constantly (so obviously a bit undergeared). And not only that but they didn't even have gladiator leveled, at all, for provoke.

Even replacing the dps-healer they died again and I ended up tanking the blaster/swindler since the DRK couldn't provoke once they were raised. We managed to power through, though.

Tanked my way through xelphatol earlier. for expert roulette.

Party was great. fast and easy victory.

The only issue I had was the Astrologian. he was great n all but almost everything he used had a macro with <se.2> on it. every single cardy thing every single buff. the whole lot. ugggghhhh

I now have this strange uncontrollable urge to make a "Gotta go fast!" macro for every Arrow I use

Got Sophia for trials. It was really smooth. The other NIN used TA first and we never over wrote eachother. Then at 15% I used the LB and I saw the tethers go out I figured I was dead. But nope the LB finished with enough time to run to safety. However there were only two other people with me. Everyone else ran to the wrong end. It was just me, a tank, and healer. The other healer was revived in time for us ti kill it.

Tank gotta go fast!

I had the same not too long ago. Ran an Ex Roul with some buddies (a WHM, BLM and myself on DRG) and we get a DRK tank. Straight away we see them sprint off and do the usual pull (thought it was a fat finger mistake at first), but then we see them sprint at the end of the pull into the next, sprint into the boss room, sprint out of the boss room.

I have no idea why they did it (sadly they were Russian --well , responded in Russian at least-- so supposedly didn't understand the ranting like questions we gave over the sprinting in Party chat) but if it was because they were in a rush then they were going about it the wrong way. I get it, you're a DRK, you can use MP to spam aggro stuff at the start while you wait for TP to regen, good for you. But there were some of us that needed the slow running rest to get our own TP back among other things...

Overall, the run actually took longer than it would normally.

Maybe he was rushing B ?

Did some PotD as BLM over the weekend... I know I don't need to say any more, but still.

WHM at level 60, spamming Stone II outside of Cleric Stance, and using Holy while far out of the range of any mobs. I... just... WHM isn't even remotely my main job, or even my main healing job, but hurts so much to watch.

Also, ASTs. Please. Stop giving me Ewers. They are only useful to a BLM in a very specific situation. Stop giving me Ewers when everyone else gets Arrows. Royal Road that Ewer, Spread it, Redraw it, or even eat it yourself, I don't care. Just stop giving them to me when I can clearly count all the ways you could put that card to much better use.

I'll be happy to, but please explain the reason, since I've been whined at for not giving blm Ewer, so they could stay in Astral longer.

[Amirya]

Ugh, mobile. Please forgive the double post.

To continue, I have a 60 blm, but I haven't touched it since I hit 60. So I don't understand, and want to.

The level 50 rotation would benefit greatly. Enochian throws the whole thing off. At 60, your rotation is very specific, because you have to maintain Enochian. Ewer ends up not helping at all.
