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

[Mysterysword]

I wish Cure III wasn't a spell. I genuinely wish it did not exist. Because when stupid WHMs insist on spamming it on me and run out of MP constantly, despite me cycling through cooldowns and doing everything possible to mitigate damage so they would stop spamming Cure III on me, they cause wipes due to not being able to heal anymore.

And when I explain to them, over and over and over and OVER AGAIN, that spamming Cure III is not the way to go, going so far as to explicitly point out how Cure III takes more MP than Cure II and heals less, and that maybe they should use Divine Seal and Shroud of Saints, and I get completely and utterly ignored, causing more and more wipes...

Yeah, sure. It's my fault for being a jerk tank. You know, spending half an hour explaining the same thing over again to an idiot who keeps on smiling and nodding at me, then proceeds to keep doing the same things that get us wiped. That's what a jerk tank does.

I have never wanted to slap somebody this hard before in my life. That ought to be an achievement right there.

I have never before wished that this game was harder. Can it please be more difficult? Can it please just force people to learn their jobs? Please? Is that so much to ask, that people have to at least get some sense forcibly kicked into their heads before they're inflicted upon the rest of us?

Yep. And the instant you boot someone for being stupid, they come here and start a thread about how mean people are.

I get the impression this healer interpreted your mention of "help kill spears" as they should be dealing damage. Unless they were a mentor and felt you showed them up by explaining mechanics?

[Zhamkyong]

I think you have those switched around...

You start as a class and unlock the jobs as you level up.
(Not counting the expansion jobs)

Long day, sorry =_=

People are back to doing this in WoD? This strat is the ancient one that people used when it first came out, after that it was all dps and usually one of B's healers were supposed to go in since that works much better.

I've only ever done it with "all DPS in the belly" on Cerberus. Only a problem when the tanks let the adds kill the healers outside before the DPS finish up. Just be sure to stop singing Foe Req before you get swallowed or you will have instant friends. *1000 yard stare*

[SeriousxSarcasm]

The amount of idiots in diadem is baffling. I feel like I need a macro for the beginning, "Remember boys and girls~ This is not unsynced trash content. We will die if idiots pull more than tank/healers can handle." I am personally offended on behalf of the tanks I've run with. DPS pulling dozens of mobs (often in the grade 3 fates), hitting everything willy-nilly before tank even has a chance to get there. Then they have the balls to make snide comments to the tanks/healers (mostly to tanks) when they get swarmed and die! I swear, this shite right here is why we're losing good tanks to other Jobs.

Got back into a dungeon after 9 months (only played 2 1/2 months before that). Figured a leveling duty would be OK, got SV. I remembered this one:

- Stand behind 1st boss.
- Fire cannons on 2nd.
- Follow others on 3rd.

Up to 1st boss was OK. Was in CS a lot, tank in grit. But...then I panicked on first boss because health was dropping in the group & couldn't find Succor. Gave up & tried healing tank who was dropping like a rock. Too late. Rezzed tank, forgot to heal myself & went down. Then the game wouldn't let me spawn at the start...?

Trash pulls got harder, heals felt weak. Tank had dropped grit, which is fine, but I was spam healing to keep him alive (no, didn't leave CS on). Actually had a trash pull death <intense healer shame>

Second boss = OK. Last boss my weak heals were saved by a quick kill. Tank left, others hung around and were nice. Gear wasn't broken, so maybe I just don't remember how hard dungeons are?

^To clarify due to character limit, the group never wiped, no one complained in text chat, and while I had watched video guides of all leveling dungeons a few weeks ago, I hadn't forgotten SV. I really do know where Succor is on my bar, but I've been practicing game feel and movement with FATEs and Beast quests so I hadn't been regularly using it, didn't have it on autopilot when I needed it.

You can get around character limits by editing your original post, and nowadays you have to hold down the button to go back to start when you're dead. Less chance of accidentally hitting the button that way.

Lastly, did you perhaps forget to summon your fairy? Also, a tank dropping grit means they're taking 20% more damage, which is not fine in this case.
