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

Once I got the Dusk Vigil while leveling my SCH. Got paired up with a SMN, a MCH and a PLD.
All 3 were very kind people and sometimes we would stop talking about some stuff regarding the game.
Except at one moment, the PLD got hit by a huge lag spike when we were outdoors, just before the final boss. He wasn't moving at all.

I thought it would be funny to write this pun : "Looks like he's OUT COLD !"

The PLD got back just in time to see my pun and everyone shared a big laugh.

At the end I got all 3 comms.

I hope these guys are having a good time !

Bad luck for me, turns out he had a friend who tagged with him (just as toxic as him) and they boot me out, not without taunting and insulting me.

This game needs something to prevent this, this is not acceptable that one can join a dungeon almost nacked. I had never seen that before and I really fail to understand what's in those people's head. We need Ilv restrictions for leveling roulette. Imagine if all 4 people do that ? everyone ilv1 in say, Haukke manor ? What will they do ? just wipe in chain and leave until they find a group to carry them ?

It does. But that's also reportable.

Was just about to come here to post something similar. Did the Aetherochemical Research Center (SP?) last night, and I kinda pushed through it pretty fast on DRK. At the end of the dungeon the SCH and the DRG (in there together) said "finally a DRK that knows how to play the damn class"

Very proud, as I am also super self-concious sometimes about my gameplay

Had two good runs today with great people...2 of which had amazing names



I was right to trust the bees with my life

if it was shire gear not augmented one that probably he bought a jump potion
as it includes the whole set of shire gear for the class you choose.

Ah, jump potions, that must be it. Well at least they know what they're doing and aren't playing like your usual horror story jump potion players

Queued for Bardam's as RDM and once in there's the "new person bonus" flashing across the screen so figure the run is going to be bit slower than normal. When the DRK goes and pulls only one mob pack at a time I figured it was them. Their threat management isn't great throughout the first set of packs and I'm using Lucid and Diversion to help out. Past the first and get to the big bird mob, the healer goes and grabs the other pack of mobs on their own. I figure since there's no real 2nd boss I'll just go ahead and LB this trash pack.

WHM down!

The SMN does a nice Swiftcast raise thankfully since I didn't have Dualcast proc'd at the moment, was mid Vercuring the DRK as he did that so just kept spamming my heal on the tank till the WHM came back. I thought it was great that the WHM died to their own pull when it's been pretty clear the tank isn't anything to write home about.

On the final boss, the WHM and DRK both got confused and I attempted to heal them but the WHM died so, Verraise them back up and continue fighting. Boss comes down with the wings and tell the SMN to LB cause I got confused and died :P only the SMN dies and while the animation of the LB went off and we lost the bars, no damage from it. Still left the dungeon with 3 commends

Kindof a follow up from my last post. I was worried I got cocky and would suck right after posting my last post. But fate has a heart I guess. A friend wanted to que for leveling and wanted tank benefits so they grabbed me and we tank and dps que. We get manor. Only this time no deaths, fast pulling, barely stopping like I never had issues there just under 10 hours ago. You don't get to actually feel the improvement on alot of things.. I felt mine today. As a sidenote. I'm loving warrior on my miqo. I've been jamming No more heroes " kill or be killed" song on repeat since last night and it fits. So good. I'm still worried about any and all dungeons AFTER longstop tho. Stone vigil being one I really worried about tanking. But never give up right? Cause there's no more heroes.

I've just gotten my WAR to 70 and my all-star move for dungeoning has got to be Steel Cyclone. You get it at 45 so Stone Vigil is the last dungeon you'll do (short of Dzemael Darkhold if you do that at 44) where you don't have it. During a big pull it's amazing not only for the self heal but the point blank threat generation. Warriors can have a harder time with that compared to PLD and DRK but Steel Cyclone is like Flash on steroids.

Don't get discouraged! Tanking gets more fun as you level up

Stone Vigil used to be a very harsh dungeon on Tanks.Mobs hit very hard and with the wrong dps composition it was a struggle pulling big groups and not wiping fast.That being said though chances are you'll end up dfing with an isynced healer and 2 isynced dps so they should be at the highest gear allowance for that run.This means there will be better dps overall and mobs wont last as long.
You should do fine but if you see the healer struggling to keep you alive go slow and pull max 4 mobs.
Watch out for one or 2 tricky rooms and patrols in this dungeon also that can get aggroed by accident and wipe the party.
