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

Dear healers, some of you have forgotten your jobs as healers ever since the removal of the cleric stance dance. Many of you have decided to role play as black mages and summoners instead, by all means DPS when it's appropriate, but remember that your number one priority is to keep everyone alive. That is all, I have spoken, feel free to reply with whatever excuses you have below, I'm sure someone else will care to read them.

I main healer, but I've been working on Paladin (what a queue difference, Dungeons always need tanks, Trials always need healers, Raids always needs DPS.) DF is a crapshoot but when I queue as healer I tend to keep getting stuck with speed runner tanks in level 60+ content, or I get Satasha/Copperbell/Tam-Tara and a tank that I rip enmity from in a single heal.


However, good golly people when you get a tank that pulls one thing at a time, please don't go pull everything else nearby. Also, scale back on the overhealing. I keep seeing WHM's launching Medica II bombs in content that doesn't even need it. You know what happens when you do that? You end up at the top of all the baddies enmity list. I did Amdapor Keep twice (second time because I forgot to unselect it) just to do the relic reborn bit, and because I need to use the specific weapon with that dungeon, it's very easy to have enmity ripped off.

I think Yoshi-P needs to actually drop an item sync on Mainstream Scenario and all the level 50 content because it's too easy -and- it's encouraging the same zerg-play like in PotD. Like every Ultima Weapon run I've done since SB's release, Ultima Weapon doesn't even last long enough to even start counting down self-destruct. The Garleans, beaten up before they finish their scripted lines. It's just so much of a joke the 1-49 dungeons and the level 50 content now. At least sync the currently unsynced content to 130 (the highest you can get poetics gear at in ARR)

Sue him. He's a bastard.

you should've kicked that bastard for being a dick. go report him for griefing. These tanks need to know you can't pull everything like they did in HW. Things will KILL you and DO kill you. But people are stupid and never learn.

Yesterday, I did a dumb in Stone Vigil as scholar. On a whim, I decided to check the sprout tank's search info. Only gladiator and paladin to, I think, 47. This broke my brain a bit, and I asked how they could be a paladin if they only had gladiator... just in time to eat a Swinge to the face and die. Go me.

They removed the requirement of having conjurer at 15.

Friend queues us for trials roulette. I wanted to be on BLM, but he queued us while I was still on DRK. Oh well. We get Chrysalis. Other tank is also DRK. Other DRK tries to be main tank even though I have better gear. Other tank also never puts up Darkside, just Grit. I have both up, and after a few enmity combos, I manage to steal hate. We thought it was cute that DRK thought he could outtank me without having Darkside up.

If he/she was trying to main tank, why do you still have your tank stance on? I mean, it's not just you though. I see it all the time with off-tanks.

My friend queued us up for trials. I got nothing but Garuda and Ifrit all week. What could go wrong? Oh hi final SB trial. This was a pretty good group. The other tank and healer were new and a couple of DPS. We wiped three times, but each time there was progress. It was great watching them all come together and beat it. Then I slipped off the edge because of Diamond Dust and the new tank followed me and that poor lone healer panicked and we wiped again. Fourth attempt was textbook. I gave my comm to the new healer.

When I'm dps and the tank over pulls and we wipe =

tank: sorry my fault, could have played better.
healer: no it was my fault, I didn't manage my cds, sorry everyone
dps: ahh don't worry about it, I could have done more too.

When I'm healer and the tank over pulls =
tank: you f****** **** learn to ******* heal
dps: wtf healer??? ?? ****
dps2: noobs

The thing is, he never spoke a word, and after first wipe, he DID slow down and we did fine until he got impatient after the first boss and wouldn't go one crowd at a time anymore. I did get the drop from the boss, at least..

I had a friend over yesterday so I just laughed it off with her over dickntanks and promptly showed her a bunch of cutscenes and ran Royal Managerie on my SCH to dust off the salt.

I should've reported him. Live and learn.

So I got my second kick ever today, second go in shisui, 64 AST.

DRK, Bard, and SAM. "Hi, first time AST in here," protect, and the DRK just books it and pulls everything he can before the gate. I try to catch up, and he's melting. He dies, (no sect) the SAM takes all the aggro and dies instantly. DRK returned, and now the bard's sprint kiting everything back to the front gate.

I follow in confusion as the BRD dies. I just die so we can reset (still no sect). The DRK stands at the gate for a while as I rebuff and go Diurnal, before he starts to pull small. No issues then, I can even DPS.

Post first boss, DRK sprints off, pulls big, and melts again as I catch up and try to save it. I now notice no Grit. Dead DRK returns instantly again.

I'm trying to heal BRD when, "You have been dismissed from Shisui of the Violet Tides."

Jeez.

Don't regret it. The tank was an @ss.

So I'm not trying to defend the tank or anything, but question. You know you can put a sect up in combat, right? It's set up so you can't remove it in combat, but if you don't have one, you can put one up in combat. Unless there's another sect thing I'm forgetting about.
