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

I understand that A1S is basically faceroll, and I understand that we are trying to cram as many runs as possible into our sturdy bonus window. However, you still kinda need to heal your MT. I shouldn't have to use Living Dead on Faust because I'm not getting heals and my health is now 2,000 or below. >.> I shouldn't have to Living Dead at all in there.

[SilkaN]

Sure, what time are you on?

It's sad how much gratitude you do feel when a player goes beyond the bare minimum...

I always try to get the roulettes done as soon as possible, so... let's say 15 minutes before reset?

Went for a quick Sohm Al (Hard) 7/9 Journal. Cleared in good time. Signed up for another for last sticker...

Healer joins, does play-dead emote and wordlessly AFK's. We wait for 5minutes before we agree to kick them. Healer joins instantly and away we go (I'm PLD/Tank). Healer is of the No-DPS persuasion, and despite having 2x ranged AoE DPS players, trash took literally forever to kill, for reasons I didn't investigate. Because of this, I couldn't really risk leaving ShieldOath out of fear of Healer MP concerns given how long fights were going for. Anyway, slog our way through to the end and, judging by my recording, it took nearly 7minutes to kill the last boss. I know, that doesn't sound terrible on paper, but given most die in under 3minutes, it just shows the difference. Going from a typical everyday clear to this sort of pace out of the blue as tank was pretty draining, so I proceeded to do nothing but gather/craft for the rest of the night.

If you want to be a raid tank you have to have, or be able to develop, a pretty thick skin.

Yeah this is why I generally don't like queuing for 24mans on my warrior. Too much salt sometimes. Even the DRK in my FC said "I don't blame you for not wanting to do DS now lol" when he saw the salt from my first Dun Scaith run.

First, we get to the second boss and sit around waiting for nearly a minute. Eventually, I thought to myself, "well, no one else seems to want to tank. Guess I'll do it?" and so I pull. 30 seconds into the fight, I guess the other tank changed their mind because they kept trying to provoke the boss and fight me for aggro. Like, I have no problem letting someone else tank, but if I'm already tanking, then...no. Take your ass on to the back of the bus with everyone else.

For a second there I thought that was the run I was in but I think it was a different run. In the run I was in casters had aggro for at least 12s (I was a baddie and ate 2 zombie puddles) and they were asking for someone to take aggro in alliance. So I switch on Defiance and pop Unchained. It seemed like the DRK wanted aggro back after a certain point, and I'm like... if you're letting DPS have aggro for that long that I have to tank then no get to the back of the bus.

live right now...

this dumb scholar queued Bismarck in trials roulette. put up deployment tactics and somehow hit auto run while trying to place fairy and ran off the island withing 5 seconds of the fight starting...

Words simply cannot express the amount of epic fail...
cannot believe I did that

[UnstablePersonality]

Yeah good luck on that,

I think Zuvran is easier than Sophia, I dread ever having to do Sophia Ex again. Luckily I'm not really interested in Birds. So doesn't affect me that much.

I only ran them for kicks the first time to see what they were about a few weeks back.

EDIT: I'm more of an Airship type guy, so go do the flying Magitech Armor or the Cutter.

Yeah Zurvan doesn't seem that bad, it's just finding people that actually stick to clear...and me not messing up tethers, I'll freely admit that...lol If parties would actually stick lately I'd actually learn them it seems right now, hence why I'm just putting it off till SB no one seems to wanna bother right now.

[Aldora]

Heya, just wanted to pop up and say thank you to everyone for the amazing support!
To be bonest I'm still a little in shock by the all the atention my silly story received. x_x

Still, seeing all those msgs made feel really warm inside. Makes me wanna try even harder next time cause I know there are awesome people out there and they deserve my best.

Hm... l better stop before this becomes too cheesy... xD
Ty all again!

Good to hear! (^_^ )-b

The offer still stands though, in case you're feeling anxious about running Dun Scaith again.

Since you are playing on Gilgamesh, that means that you are playing on the Aether Datacenter. I'm from Sargatanas myself, which is located within the same Datacenter. If you want, i can join you for a run and be your co-healer. If you have any questions about healing in Dun Scaith, feel free to ask. (^_^ )

I'm a European player on a NA Datacenter, so my playtimes might be a bit "off".

No problem. o/ Set one up around then, I'll hop on.

[Urthdigger]

Recently hit 60 on PLD so I've been running Dun Scaith constantly to get some diabolic gear to get it up. Weapon is still pretty crappy, ilvl230 hyperconductive stuff. Guess who winds up MTing every run despite the other tanks having FAR better gear? Grow a damn spine other tanks.

On a related note, ran Expert roulette on the aforementioned PLD. Now, I expected to have a little trouble keeping hate... but it really doesn't help when I go for large pulls and the freaking DRG does their single target combo instead of AoE. So, not only are they doing less damage than they should, I'm losing hate on stuff because flash spam isn't enough to keep hate off single target DPS!
