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

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.

I organized a clear party for a friend yesterday... He saw the whole fight but in PF there are always some people derping around and failing tethers.
He was spamming me /tells of gratitude (in capslock) because he was so happy that he doesn't have to waste his time on "kill parties" anymore.
And I know that feeling... You just wanna get that clear, only 3% left, but someone always HAS to mess up and cause the party to disband.

I've been reaaaaaally tempted to try to PF daily speed ex results.. DF has been so terrible that I may give up the goal of all jobs in i270 before SB. I don't have much hope for PF alex farms and my static is done with farming floors.

HOW DO YOU DIE WHEN YOU'RE AN OFF-TANK AT CALOFISTERI? ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS DODGE!

So goes one of the many, many questions I had when running Wiping Shitty today, as SCH. It mainly started at the Headstone, when some genius pulled the boss and locked out about 5-10 people, including both of C's healers. Feeling sorry for C, I took some time out to top up their HP and pick up one of the BLMs off the floor.

C responded to this by: Refusing to step on their button, forcing me to sprint a marathon to activate it and get back to the shield, and having the BLM I picked up die again due to not standing in the shield like literally everyone else was.

The whole of A somehow managed to die to Ozma. I don't know how, I wasn't paying them much attention.

Calofisteri ended with half of A and C dead, including both their tanks, while over in B, we had our tank as MT, staying alive the whole way through. We had a rough spot in which most of our DPS got thenselves killed, but at least we didn't wipe to Calofisteri, unlike A.

I left with 6 comms, which was totally unexpected and nice. But seriously, how do you even die to Calofisteri?!

Sounds about right, like I'd love to get more practice with tethers but meh...lol

Sohm al reg for lvling roulette. Me as whm. Drg and bard dps. Dragoon buff usage during the entire run... battle litany. .. once. No b4b no internal release not even a life surge. First boss he gets marked and runs from other side of the boss to my side and gets us both sucked in. The he does it to the bard. Then he runs all the way to the wall. Second boss he peels off and starts killing red and blue slimes. Then ignores the green one causing a wipe. We regroup, beat second boss. I then ask why he's not using any buffs this is of course met with complete silence from him but the tank leaps to his defence (getting himself killed in the process) then the bard basically tells me to drop it too. Dungeon took 45 minutes..... the bard, with under 6k hp, was out dpsing the almost 10k drg who had a higher ilvl... "But Kochie... just let him play how he wants" ok guyyyys.so I use 2 bar lb on final boss out of spite. Idiots

[Kahnom]

I never see good DRGs in DF. Ever.

Just got out of a Sohm Al Hard where the DRG never once used heavy thrust or blood of the dragon. Not. Even. Once.

I don't even care if you have trouble keeping the buff on or forget sometimes its fine.....BUT at least ATTEMPT to try to use them??? /smh

Level 60 in Expert...no excuse at all for that.

Ah.you're a cat now.

Off topic though.

Healers who cast regen before every pull.
Why? Why do I keep getting healers who think this is a good idea?
I'm about ready to give up on tanking all together at this point. High level DPS love tormenting low level tanks, I'm convinced of this. And I'm also becoming convinced that the only good healer is -me-. ; ;' Every time I try to play another class, I'm promptly reminded why I yam...what I yam.

Aurum Vale. Tank disconnects after fail at first boss, replacement tank joins, a mentor WAR. Pulls the first boss without Defiance on, ends up burdening the green leaf 48lvl WHM. At the end of fight, WHM is out of mana as WAR is all the time taking dmg in chunks and continuing to pull forward without Defiance.
WHM (green leaf): Are you gonna tank the entire dungeon without Defiance?
WAR (mentor): Did the previous tank leave because of your smart ass?
In short: here you have an amazing reason why some mentors should not be allowed to wear that crown.

Sometimes I cast regen right as the last guy dies and it stays on for the next pull. We sometimes cannot help it.

You absolutely can help it. Don't cast regen at the end of a pull, or if it doesn't have enough time to tick down. That's just as much of a waste as when it's cast before the tank even pulls.
