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

There we go, with the name edited. :3

I love that laugh at the end. It's simply icing on the cake

[Spiroglyph]

Have a fun story. On Ala Mhigo, the AST just spoke up about bringing shame. She accidentally spread Spire instead of Spear. Me and other DPS both made a comment about committing sudoku. We all had laugh. It was a pretty quick run too.

Commit sudoku??


Literally had to edit this damn post a hundred million times until I figured out how to add an image, lmao

The real shame is aoeing any card in 4 person content.

What else would you use Spires/Ewers for if they come up?

Did you at the very least act as their second and provided them with the puzzle to aid in their honorable task of filling in each grind?

Assuming expert roulette, for Minor Arcana fodder - alternatively, use on people massively aoe spamming and burning through TP/MP, I guess

So I got in a group with a few FC mates to go do a roulette.
We grabbed 4 people, queued up, end up in the Lost City of Amdapour, and I looked at the list of players.
2 Black Mages, a White Mage, and a Summoner.
No tank, but thematically appropriate.
We decide to go for it anyway. The summoner breaks out Titan-egi to which I yell out "Go go potato-tank!"
After struggling through the first 2 packs, I suddenly remember that this is pre-HW content....which means SLEEP WORKS!
So I'm now leading, taking the point position as a Black Mage, marking targets and sleeping groups at a time and praying my mana ward is going to hold up long enough to live.

We ended up clearing the zone, even though none of us could remember a single mechanic in play and took 3 tries to figure out the Door thing with Diabolos.
Still, it was a LOT of fun and reminded me how much I love that darn Sleep spell.

Didn't realize giving AOE spears and balances if they were available was a bad thing....is this meta too? Good thing I'm anti-meta.

It's about efficiency. Chances are you'll have one DPS that's out-performing the other. You get more bang for you buck potency-wise when you single target the buff on the good DPS rather than distributing it at half potency to everyone.

Personally I will toss AoE cards if I get unlucky and don't want to go over a minute of not having buffs up. And I won't complain about ASTs in 4-man content about using cards, provided they're using them at all. Though sometimes I wish they'd remember that they can do more than just draw and use them.

Had a SMN who wouldn't cast Miasma or any aetherflow actions to save his life. Also had something like 1800 HP as a level 50 wandering into Lost City of Amdapor. It was PAINFUL. He died to every bit of unavoidable damage, racked up poison stacks like he was saving them up, and wouldn't say a word when I lightly encouraged him to buck up and pay attention.

Poetic grinding is a pain, Cronus Lux will be worth it though...at least that's what I keep telling myself.
