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

If they do they will combine it with the Vault and maybe call it Balessar's Vault and the final boss can shout "Sloppy must be purged!" every ten seconds. ^_^ Could also combine the mechanics of the two as well into something you really need to dance through...

Yeeessssss. What would the gear drops be?

Yeeessssss. What would the gear drops be?

Hmm, probably some kind of religious Garlean armour sets with crazy helmets and capes. Something similar or based off of Livia, Gaius and Nero from Castrum and Praetorium and maybe from Regula in ARF. Or at least that is what I would go with. Oh and a rare drop Mgitek Tank mount like the second boss of the Wall.

How do you do this? I thought you could, but I can't figure out how. Also I don't think you can while a dungeon is in-progress, can you? Cause when I right-clicked on their name all that came up was Report > Report RMT.

You have to do it from your Contacts list (under friend's list in the main menu).
Never tried it while in a Duty so I don't know if it works.

Doing the wall so much... I really wish there was a raid version of the fight. So fun. So sloppy.

As a BLM, it annoys me when he decides to jump around. Nothing like getting casts interrupted (even when we follow him with our gaze) and then having to move as fast as possible :U

You can't do it in duty, only afterward.

Sastasha normal of all things! Get a party of three sprouts, all classes no jobs. I say my greetings then everyone runs off and starts fighting. "So how new are you guys?" I ask just so I know what to expect and what I should help them out with.

No answers. And to my surprise since it was so unexpected, NO HEALS. Yes I know it's Sastasha normal, it's hard to die there. Well the sprout healer seemed determined to only cast Stone outside of Cleric's then spam Medica off in a corner. I gave some tips on not pulling before the tank and the proper use of single target vs. aoe heals. Aaaaaand... nothing. No responses, no changes.

Hoo boy it's gonna be that kinda run. Well again it's an easy newb dungeon so I'll make it fast. Healer proceeds to use knockback on any target in front of me, lancer madly running circuits around any mob I'm not currently targeting. The archer was acceptable once he stopped pulling. Several times healer runs out of mp due to Medica spam.. pulls more mobs before me.. etc etc.

I pretty much stopped talking at that point since I figured I was being royally trolled. Get to the final pulls and healer lets me drop so I take my time going back, they barely stayed up but that's mainly due to how weak the mobs are here. Hooray it's the boss. I pull then get a bit fed up when I see the healer continuing to spam Medica in dps stance. I did a bad.. I stopped trying to keep hate. Archer dies and lo and behold he at least can talk! "WTF! Good luck you better rez me now!"

Healer was out of mp for a while but I have plenty of potions from PotD so just finished things off. Gave the healer some more advice about bad habits. Looked them up on the Lodestone and yes they were a bunch of newbies in giant FCs that probably never got training or advice (or if they did shrugged it off). Somehow I got a commendation despite dropping my tanking oath at the last boss.. I have a lot of patience for new folks but to not even talk or try to improve but actively do WORSE in response?

Ran Dun Scaithe today and someone shouted "save LB" on the first boss. Apparently they wanted us to save LB3 for adds and have the casters burn them all down. Well, nobody did so they called us a bunch of n00bs, threatened to report the DRG in their party for using the LB, and then rage quit. Actually rage quit might be mild, dude had a complete and utter meltdown.

Late night, my brain tells me I'm too tired to tank another set of PotD floors.
Of course I don't listen and enter anyways
The first few rooms go smoothly and we unlock the teleporter, but there is an extra room left.
I carefully glance in and see tons of chests!....and tons of monsters.

My brain tells me once again that this is a bad idea, so of course I pull a bit from the edge anyway.
I accidently pull two instead of one, and because I'm on WAR and do not understand how WAR aoe works, cleave like three more with my aoe

...now is probably a good time to mention that all the monsters in that room were bombs
So I try to get the five I have under control by cleaving more of the room, pulling another.
To establish aggro on the six I now have, throw in another cleave for good measure and pull another one in the process.
I think you see now where this is going..

I glance over to the healer as my HP get dangerously low and see that he/she is getting attacked by a monster too,
but she doesn't seem to mind, actually, the entire party seems really content with keeping a FAIR distance from me.
But because I'm such a helpful and friendly tank, I instantly rush over to grab that monster off of her, dragging my group of 7 or 8 half-finished bombs with me.

The bards still sing tales about that day, and how the incredible amount of explosions shook the ground all the way to Gridania..


No seriously though: sorry to my party for wiping us in such a stupid way. PotD queue times aren't long, but you still probably waited a few min and now have to wait again

[AutoWhit]

Sounds like they were brought up in PotD.

[JMadFour]

I feel bad.

I've been having internet issues again, and there were at least 2 DF dungeons in the past few days that I was the Healer in that I got DCed on in the middle of the dungeon, and by the time I got back, it was too late.
