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

Tank use Sprint and runs ahead when the dungeon begins.

Tank: "Are you guys F******* Noobs? Use Your Sprint so we can complete the dungeon faster"

Me: "Uh... we have a new person here so let just take it easy first. Besides this is a DF group so expect playing with different people with different play styles."

Tank: "Just kick the noob then."

Healer: "Don't be a *******."

(Tank then put up a Kick for the New Player for)

(Kick rejected)

Tank: "You guys are all a bunch of ***** noobs. Good luck finding a replacement for me because I'm out of here you bunch of pr*****"

(Tank quits the dungeon)

New Player: "Well he was a ******"

Me: "Ya some Mentor right? "

Me: "and people wonder why Tank players have a bad reputation"

(Yes the Tank had a Mentor status)

Granted, it was PF, but still...
I was in a Zurvan Ex practice group when our tank had to leave so we put up PF again. Another Tank joined and after two wipes he said
"I'm gone ppl don't know strat. Don't want to waste my time"
and we were just baffled because it was a practice group and it said specifically there will be a lot of wipes. Either that person didn't read and just joined or they believed practicing is something else...

knowing the strat and applying your knowledge to the actual fight are two different things. It's really hard even if you know what to do.

Great Gubal Library Hard, starting a new relic. DRG never used heavy thrust, though he did use blood of the Dragon and its procs, and an occasional gierskogul. It was his only job at 60........I couldn't bring myself to say anything.

Tank had dropped grit, which is fine, but I was spam healing to keep him alive (no, didn't leave CS on).

I'm positive this is a badly played DRK thing. I'm a 252 healer and I still have to spam heal them just to keep them from turning into a crimson mist in one GCD. Plus, you having weakness probably didn't help matters. Just take it with a grain of salt and push on!

Did you report him? He should lose his mentorship.

I scared someone off because of my stupid jokes. Just a bunch of silly pervy jokes... Sorry Gilgamesh lady, I hope this gets to you. ;n;

Auto-kick. I don't need more. That line is enough to know who type the player is. if the party refuses to kick him, then I leave. I prefer 30 minutes wait than allow this behaviour. If everyone do this, this kind of player will stop play or stop doing shit. Same for the bullshit in party finder and similar.

Every dungeon post lvl 60 is easily doable without a tank if the healer is willing to keep the DPS alive, so next time this happens you don't have to sit for 30 minutes waiting for one. Just laying it out there cause there's an awful amount of princess tanks running around in DF, and I've had to three-man EX and lvl 60 roulettes far too many times without tanks for whatever reasons. We usually end up getting a new tank around the time we reach the second or last boss lmao.

Just take the pulls one by one and damage is usually not big enough for anyone to die so long as the healer keeps their HoTs and tools in hand.

Join Expert Roulette, it's Baelsars Wall, and we have a Tank and Healer with Mentor status and a Monk. The Monk's gear level is low and insists on fighting the mobs with Fists of Earth......anyway we get to first boss and the MNK doesn't even attempt to fight the adds, so I have to kill both of them. I type "Adds" in the party chat when they pop the second time and MNK still doesn't kill them. The Monk dies because he is on the aoe (the blue line thingie) and has an add on him. I then get blamed by the tank.

Seriously?

I have to run to kill the add, I also have casting time....the MNK does not. He could have easily killed the add that was right next to him. It's not my sole job to kill the adds. Really sick of the blame culture in this game....

Truth be told, depending on the dungeon, your ability, gear and comp, you can even keep doing mass pulls. I had a tank leave on us in Xelphatol at the first boss once and we just had me as MNK tank the rest in Fists of Earth doing the usual door to door pulls. We just AoE/Holy spammed them down and the healer was able to keep me alive from the leftovers after the Holy stuns wore off. We didn't get a replacement until the final boss and we had already pulled it by the time the tank joined, so he was like:" \o/ Free roulette! "

Tank buster moves are scary, tho >_> "On Low" would've one-shot me if it had hit.
