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

Yup, Aether is just a special kind of... special, all on its own, isn't it? If I hadn't been busy working these past few hours, I would've gladly tanked or healed a Dun Scaith with you.

Awh, thank you! <3 Would have been lovely to have another competent person in there with me! Someone who wouldn't fight other tanks for aggro or get salty in alliance chat over who MT should be. :v
I seriously don't understand WARs that want to MT, and then stay in Defiance the entire time. Especially when the other 2 tanks are DRKs, which benefit FAR more from MT than
WAR does. Like...why... I don't understand. DON'T THESE WARs MISS THEIR TRIPLE FELL CLEAVES?!?!?!

Right now, I'm just slowly letting my sanity seep away in A12N. I need. 1 shaft. 10 runs in. Still no shaft.
I keep rolling 80s and 90s and I am always out-rolled by one person rolling a 97 or higher. FML.
If I can get the 250 body on my DRG, I will be able to get into Dun to roll need on DRG gear. Just hopefully they won't mind my two piece of gear that are from the Vault. :v
Still need 8 more tokens for the Shire weapon, too... Sophia should do for now though. If Zurvan wasn't so salty, I'd do 10 runs for the spear, but ugh. No. I don't need any more salt today.
I'm full of plenty of salt already over this damn shaft.

Dearest healers;
I love you dearly but please for the love of Moogles, do not cast regen while I'm pulling. You aren't helping me, in fact you are actually sabotaging my ability as tank to gain and maintain aggro. If I die during a pull that's on me, not because you didn't regen.

Warmest regards,
Your tank.

DISCLAIMER: The above is just my own opinion, not the opinion of all tanks =D

Seconded.

I didn't know that people actually mistreat DRG's until I did a trail roulette and died at the end due to lack of heals. I say it's not fun being on the ground and the healer says "says you" with an attitude. Well maybe if you worked a little more on healing and less on trying to play DPS. I wouldn't be dead in the first place. Only so much one can do when it comes to unavoidable damage.

On a Sohm Al HM run a while back, I got teamed up with a WHM who was constantly throwing up Medica II before every pull and generally making the tank's life a lot harder than it needed to be. I asked him to stop putting up regens pre-pull. He responded "I'm not using regen I'm using medica II."

So I'm running Creator Normal for now. Btw, I love it when tanks eat Punishing Heat with no cool downs and then freak out about almost dying. Just pop a cooldown. .-. I understand you're awesome in your Savage BiS gear, and that this isn't A12S, but A12N still kinda hurts. So just use a cooldown. So that your healers can DPS a little more.

I will forever remain baffled by tanks who do this. Like, Dark Mind has literally no other purpose. You're not super legit amazing for eating Punishing Heat without it. You're an idiot who just made the run slightly longer and far more stressful because now your healers have to deal with damage you shouldn't be taking. At least Warriors have an excuse to blow CDs for stacks, but even then, you can time it properly and get your stacks plus the mitigation.

It happened awhile ago, but I remembered I captured a video of it happening and decided to gif it. I already posted it on a ping thread, but... some tears were had and I'm sure there are a few of you out there who have experienced this.



Basically, the server ate my Sharpcast buff and I did not appreciate that (the pause between Thunder and Fire III was the realisation of what happened... or rather, what didn't).

Had a couple tanks that completely failed to put any cooldowns up for Triple Spark on the Chrysalis, but one was apparently clever enough to moan about someone else using LB3 pre tear. And, as usual, they dive in with blight debuff for full duration. We still cleared, but the amount of stones coming from glass houses on these roulettes..

Sharpcast problems

If you think Sharpcast disappearing is bad, try having Enochian eaten. Yes, it has happened to me more than once. Yes, it has made me contemplate the reasons behind homicide.

Nope. If you're a tank and don't hate this, you're wrong.

It got so bad when PotD healers started running 60 dungeons that I had to make a macro for it:
/statusoff "Regen"
/statusoff "Aspected Benefic"
/statusoff "Aspected Helios"
/statusoff "Whispering Dawn"
/statusoff "Medica II"

In keeping with the spirit of the thread - just did Sohm Al HM as PLD, with MNK, MNK and a "healz onry" WHM. Took 43 minutes. I couldn't pull more than one group at a time, since no one could/would AoE.
