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

Dun Scaith has a lot of these.

I got kicked from a party for having the AUDACITY to insist that our DRK main tank use darkside and something other than power slash combo.

Not a DF story, but a story nonetheless: Just did Bismarck EX for WT in a PF group. 2 Tanks, 1 Healer, 5 DPS. We get started...adds go down before Bismarck even slams the platform, Chitin breaks before I can get a second combo off, Snakes die fast, and we get to Phase 3...Nice! Then we draw Green and lose 2 DPS to it. NP, right, with the DPS we have we should be able to absolutely smoke the Corona anyway, right? Turns out they were our 2 highest DPS. We 2-shot the corona, barely. The cherry on top? One of our ranged wastes our limit break by not being on his back when using it.

A win is a win, tho, I guess.

I did post a reminder in chat about getting in the middle for green, and someone else mentioned that you had to be on the back to damage the Corona.

Husband was trying to farm a gordian gear to make a Faust dummy for our FC house, did about 20 runs over the weekend all the same way, no wipes, no issues (outside of only one gear). Next attempt, both healers die (usually indicates they were standing to close to each other) and blame hubby for using Sword oath instead of shield oath, which was irrelevant anyway because the DRK in the party was holding hate the entire fight until the wipe.

He gets vote kicked immediately after the first ever wipe he saw in that dungeon. Reported vote kick and verbal abuse, GM said they wasted his time and would look into it.

Very next attempt, plays exactly the same way, says nothing about it, gets 4 commendations.

People make us laugh when they blame others because they can't see when they are their own problem.

Was farming Sophia EX with 6 friends and a PF SCH who was.. like... i268...

They recognised my Healer glam as Ardyn Izunia from FF15 in the last run and all 7 of us lost our mind so hard we completely screwed everything up and nearly wiped towards the end of it were it not for the scholar...

No one ever recognised my glamour without me actually pointing out what it's supposed to be and why I'm wearing "a fedora"...(wipes single tear)

Did Weeping City for the first time yesterday. Now, I'm not gonna talk about how great I was and how much everyone else sucked, because really, I wasn't that great. I flubbed mechanics a few times, got surprised by a few AOEs... But really, I don't think I did too bad, I didn't mess anything up that could cause a wipe, so I consider that a win for a first-timer haha. But there was this one healer.

She was a SCH in our party, just barely met the ilvl. After the first 2 bosses (in which our team screwed up and died embarrassingly), this healer took it upon herself to ridicule and belittle everyone in our party in Alliance chat. Didn't try to offer tips or communicate to anyone in the party, just started bitching about being stuck with "the crap party full of newbies."

The sheer irony of the whole thing? People in the other Alliance parties were pointing out that the reason our team was doing crap was because of weak heals. We weren't getting healed through raid-wide damage, half the time when SCH went down (which was embarrassingly often), she forgot to resummon her damn fairy and just spammed physic on herself because she wasn't dodging mechanics either.

Now, I'm pretty patient when it comes to bad players, but when someone has the balls to be THAT toxic when they are PART OF THE PROBLEM just really gets to me. Honestly the whole experience just turned me off of that raid for life.

Edit: and yes, I'm aware there was another healer. He wasn't the strongest either, but I'm not going to hold it against him that he couldn't pick up the slack (we had one healer before that got fed up and left lmao). The big difference is that he kept at it, and didn't try to point fingers at anyone. Pretty sure the only party member that was on-point was a BLM named Olivia lol. (oh yeah, did I also mention party composition? DRK, SCH, AST, SMN (me), BLM, BLM, BLM, BLM).

Got to try Dun Scaith for the first time today, and it was so fun! There were so many deaths, I got to Astral Stasis so many times it was a dream come true for me ;_; ♥

That's great. And that you chose healer for that glamour is just icing on the cake. I thought I was the only one who found the new hairstyle to be Aydyn-esque.
