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

Farming Lakshmi EX, and I don't get why people seem to think my PFs are a revolving door. But anyway, I just love it when random tanks get the DPS killed repeatedly with the conal AoE, then blame us for not being able to meet the DPS check.

Also, Lakshmi's cutscene huggles are beautiful, awe-inspiring, and really take the fights to a whole new level. They are also an excellent callback to the days of old-school FF, featuring 2-minute-long unskippable summoning cutscenes that are awesome the first time you see them, and vomit-inducing when you're sitting through them for the umpteenth time in a row.

Do healers not like it when Paladin's use clemency cuz when I do I've been yelled at the last few times that I've run dungeons see in my mind I figure with using clemency I take stress off the Healer

Don't you know Clemency is a personal insult?

clemency is usually nice since UNLESS you have a scholar as a healer and they just used excogigation. in that case using clemency and avoiding your hp drop below 50 makes the excog wasted and its actually kind of annoying. other than that, heal yourself to your hearts content. more dps for me

Doing a quick Gubal Hard for some poetics, get a first-timer. We get to Liquid Flame, he asks for some tips, conversation goes as such:
1st timer: "Any tips for this?"
Me: "Do you know how magnets works?"
1st: "No, it's my first time."
I admit I could've probably phrased my question in a way that sounded less snarky, but I could not stop laughing at his response. To his credit, we explained more directly the overall mechanics and he did fine.

Had the best Steps of Faith run not too long ago due to a healer's "macro".

Don't be rediculous. If he wanted the glamour set so badly, he could've just ran it solo with the Undersized Party feature. Instead he chose to enter groups regularly and steal gear from leveling players.

The fact that you people defend this is stupid. It's ruining the game for other people. That should be punished.

I mean, it's very possible that he got Brayflox in a roulette, and didn't necessarily queue directly into it. If players can roll Need on things, they aren't stealing gear. Half the time I watch gear from lower dungeons drop to the floor. I usually roll Greed on stuff I don't need but if I need some extra seals, I roll Need instead. If you want a specific piece of gear, ask: "May I have X if it drops?" Most people will pass; if they don't, then they're maybe a bit of a jerk but still within their right to roll.


PF story time: been farming Lakshmi all night. Convinced the mount is some elusive being that I have to jump through certain hoops to get. I was hoping my DPS greed during the last 5% that got me killed because I wa hoping we'd kill her before I'd need another Vrill would prompt it to drop, but alas. No dice.

DF story time: leveling SAM with a friend. We're level 57 (so you know what that means--to THE VAULT!!!). Tank said he wasn't going to do large pulls because two melee = bad AOE. Friend and I then proceeded to alternate spamming AOE skills/Goading each other and just made packs melt. Would also kill the two Dullahans and Knight Horses at the same time for extra amusement. The tank was impressed, and we felt badass. /shades

lol I've accidentally hit my Raise macro trying to just hit Swiftcast before and "raised" the boss. XD remember doing it one time on Diabolos Hollow and my party was like "ARE YOU DRUNK. STOP TRYING TO RAISE THE BOSS. D:" It was funny.

That's pretty funny, but you might want to censor the names just to be safe.

I've seen people get in trouble for an innocent post like that before. Better safe than sorry.

It's not ok to have full i250-260 HW stuff in Doma Castle (a lvl 67 dungeon), even if you do meet the minimum requirements.
66 quest/vendor whites are i279. That gap is a lot more than some people think it is.
