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

It was the tank who said it, so I assume he was being a jokester. At least, I hope so.

I've heard some REALLY bad things(mob of 6+ and BLM only using Fire IV, no AoE what-so-ever because "It deals more, lol")...but that screen I think takes the cake...for now.

[Arkenne]

Don't think I need a story to go with this, since it speaks for itself

I was going to write something but this blew my mind...

what. why. how.

It is sarcastic.

Are you saying you cast Regen pre pull? Or double Regen after pull? If it's pre pull I don't understand why healers still do that. I DPS as healer too and never need to cast that pre pull. It just makes more work for the tank to maintain aggro. I get it that building enmity is easier in 4.0 but that just seems like more potential for disaster. /Shrug

I cast regen during pull. If tank can't get agro while pulling they need to learn how or stop pulling big. A regen during pull easily gives me one extra holy cast before I have to heal.

[DacienSanderon]

If all else fails I'll just pull smaller so they're not twitching their butts so much.

But in the end I'd rather the healer be comfortable and let me pull bigger than be a douchebag because they're not being mechanically optimal in dungeon content.

Or just learn how to pull. You literally just need to hit the mob with anything and the healer will never pull agro. If they got regen agro it's because of a failure to pull properly.

Signed up to do Lakshmi last night for GF while she did some gathering for me on my character. After ten or so minutes it pops. I let the animation play for her, then as we load in someone else announces they're new.

A tank drops immediately. We stand there and wait a couple minutes. Whoever was party member didn't select to find members. Eventually I type out "need to select it to find new members" telling her I can come in on tank and she can do the fight herself, but it was late and she was tired so she said she'd rather I drop.

The party leader still doesn't set it to find members and eventually the party drops one by one until I sadly exit the instance.

Did it this morning no problem even with three new people and a tank who kept getting blown off the edge and dropping the blue marker on half the party. Why are so many people scared of these fights lol?

I met a legendary "Full Thruster" Dragoon.

Only did 1-2-3 Full Thrust combo, nothing else. No ogcds, no Heavy Thrust, no Chaos Thrust combo.

Didn't say a word when I commented on it.

[Sacred_Nym]

what. why. how.

I had not one, but two of these in a Kugane Castle run yesterday. Absolutely nothing but Fire IVs regardless of pull size. I don't even think I saw a single Foul go off. Pair this with an AST who had trouble keeping me up even through Sentinel+Conva.

Cherry on top is nearly wiping to the dragon heads on the last boss because I was the only one attacking them.

This hurts my brain. A properly-played BLM with average gear can melt down a pack of 12+ on their own. I feel like saying that is like saying the sky is blue.

Anyway, 90 minutes before maint today, I threw together a clear party for Sophia EX, going in blind because I am too lazy for videos. A few wipes later, the teacher members suggest using Discord, just as an option, not a requirement. But apparently this was enough to trigger two of the newbies, who ditched because when you "force" people to use voice chat, you "limit what they can learn".

Roughly 7 minutes before maint, we cleared it despite me never turning on Discord. 5 people got the achievement.
