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

Sounds like the SCH I had in Steps of Faith last week for trial roulette. Fairly sure their faerie was on auto too. They really need to split SCH and SMN. While I enjoy having a class that can be both dps and heals the number to times I've had a SCH co-healer who doesn't know how to use aldo, succor, or lustrate, and appears to have their pet on auto is frustrating. People can say, oh but solo healing is easy. Sure it's not hard in most content but why not fill that spare slot with an actual dps especially when the dps queues are set to skyrocket in SB.

Honestly I've healed Ex trials and savage raids with fairy on Sic and never had any problems. It really isn't necessary to micromanage your pet on SCH from what I've experienced. The AI is good enough. Sure you can be more efficient if you do micromanage but I never understood the complete *hatred* for those who leave it on Sic.

It's less that players use it as auto and more a combination of auto and not using scholar heal skills that's the issue. Players with their pets on auto and not using aldo, lustrate, succor, etc clearly aren't interested in actually being healers - and this is what I personally find problematic. While much of the game can in fact be played this way it would be more beneficial to queue times to remove the 2nd healer entirely and have another slot for dps.

But this is a little off topic.

It's because you lose the ability to adapt to situations and the AI will burn through the fairy's cd's at the worst times. Not to mention the fact that ppl will more than likely want to do harder content at some point and that's a terrible time to start learning your job. It is much easier to learn early so as to not burden yourself or others making your experience much more enjoyable. And did you play Sch on a deleted character, because you only have a lvl 1 arcanist and a lvl 15 Cnj

@ Lozza too, makes sense. I noticed my fairy will use abilities all at once but it never seemed like a big issue. Like I said, more efficient to micromanage for sure but it never seemed necessary. Of course if you have a healer that's bad anyway I doubt they will be able to micromanage effectively either. @ Tsubaki75 I've played all three healers at 60. Whm would have to be my favorite because holy spam is beautiful on trash pulls and Sch would be my go to for anything challenging because of its ease of use and godlike mp regeneration.

P.S. Bolded part: different service account.

Sorry for off topic, I was just curious about the whole pet thing.

Just did a run of PoTD. It is a tank (yellow) me (red dps) and two other dps in the run. Right at the start one of the other dps ask if we mind to check the rooms for silver. I say I don't mind helping and the rest of the run goes very smoothly up until the Behemoth boss. I promptly die from not avoiding dumb stuff and I jokingly say "That was a series of dumb moves". The rest of them kill with no problem and then this happened with the tank:


at least ask before you just report and go off on someone. I kept the screenshot in case I get called into the principals office That will teach me to play before coffee. *edited to add that I tried to block out most of the word that they called me but I am sure you get the drift.

That sucks. But if the GMs see it, they'll see you were referring to yourself (as you'd messed up and did a dumb by your own admission). Personally if you'd said it after dying I'd have been like "Ah dw about it, happens to the best of us". I certainly would NOT have reported you for it...

>: Messing up isn't a crime... Jesus... Honestly, his language is cause enough to report him!

I've been reading everyone's Dun Scaith horror stories and I didn't think it'd happen to me for 2 runs in a row on two consecutive days :c

Its amazing how people can't dodge or dps correctly ><

This is Party finder but I thought it was funny still.

I join a farm party for Ravana with my alt.

I need scripture for her Shire weapon and I'm only 115 away. I thought it would go fast.

The first thing that happens is we're stuck here waiting for someone to get out of the CS.

Newbie! XD Whatever! I don't think its cause for rage. Pull happens, and people are stacking marker and death is happening left and right.

I'm laughing. Its funny, really. So I go. "Such farm, much wow."

One of the other DPS reply. "Shut up."

So I reply "Get good"

They end up dying to bloody fuller, me and two other dps survive, and the other two go to stack... which I avoid because we're all low on HP, Ravana is close to dying, I figure it would be smarter to not stack.

The other two die, I survive a good bit longer, but in the end its a wipe.

XD We go back in, more silly stacking aoes, and death, but we clear.

Bird drops. I got it!!!

XD The person that told me to shut up left before the roll.
