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

[Driskus]

Just left a Susano normal in Trials roulette because of a jump potion tank who thought he was all that and more, and even said I wasn't healing him despite spamming cures on him to keep him up (he was sprout, still in exact gear jump pot gives). Pulled hate multiple times because he couldn't hold it to cures, despite me using lucid on CD whether I needed MP or not. NIN kept blowing the LB3 despite being told not to by multiple people. Off tank of course doesn't grab orbs, as per the usual, so I end up getting them myself (happens 100% of the time). Last attempt the tanks switched around, and the other WAR lost hate to me in a single cure and I got tankbustered to death. I gave up on them after that. Its hopeless when you're being told you're not healing yet you see Cure & Cure II constantly on my cast bar. Not to mention, TWO tanks and neither one can hold hate to a SINGLE mob?!? Like really??? Jump pots are seriously the worst thing ever...

I feel awful. I just finished up Sigma v3, and as I was typing my thanks and getting ready to lot, my game decides to go unresponsive. I had to force-close the game, tried to log back in, game was still being funky and I couldn't even click on the start button. Restarted the PC and rushed back in. Several people were already gone by the time I got back, and I ended up passing everything for making them have to wait.

Now they probably think I'm one of those people that hold out on a lot to force people to leave. Ended up with 3 comms as well.

Don't worry about it, Skivvy. Most players know other players can get disconnected for a variety of reasons. The game even shows an icon when someone disconnects. So, you have nothing to be concerned about.

I remember leveling my MCH in thousand maws of totorak. The tank decided to big pull and obviously we could only take down enemies so fast. The tank got angry and left. They wanted heavy aoes... in a level 24 dungeon...

Snip.

I had a similar thing with the game playing up when I got dumped into thornmarch recently. Died towards the end and accepted a raise. No issues until I was back in play. Appeared I got placed into a magic clear box I couldn't escape from. I was stuck running in a 5ft circle on my raise spot. Boss died, most left. Couple stayed to watch me running on the spot in a small square like pattern. Logged out. Back in. Back at thornmarch. Still in the box and now showing the echo 10%. Tried again. Back in with echo 20%. Then I got timed out the instance and all was well. I do wonder how it looked to other players lol
Got 2 comms I think from the 2 who watched me for a bit struggle lol

You can AoE down mobs pretty well at low levels if you have ranged/Castors as the dps and WAR as the tank

I probably should've mentioned that the rest of group wasn't really fit for that but yeah... you get the idea

Welp, just got out of a PoTD run. It was the first ten levels. What do I get? A tank that decides to not only tag just about every enemy on the floor, but then proceeds to run with them like a chicken with their head cut off. Did this for 3 floors. They won't even attack after tagging. The two melee in our party had to race to do any damage whatsoever and I'm leveling a caster. So guess who's useless while the tank drags things around corners. >_>

I ask if they could please quit, even inform them I'm not getting AoE until level 17. The answer? "No. Sorry."

I left. I don't care how short the run is, it's not worth running with someone that inconsiderate. I can grab food and browse stuff during the penalty. I feel sorry for any pug that gets that tank.

Got called out for posting on the forums by a rando during Eureka. I???? Don't believe anyone cares what I think in any setting??? I just do what's entertaining for me the way I want to approach it. If that's explaining NM stuff while waiting for the weather to change in Pazuzu's hidey-hole that's all that there is to it. People are just going to do what they want regardless.

But tanks can't use Bloodbath anymore. I'm so confused.

It happened during heavensward, when bloodbath was still a war skill.

Same for my chrysalis fail : that was during my 2nd or 3rd run of it, but also my first run as a DPS (I tank most of the time). I didn't know what you where supposed to do (or refrain from doing...) when playing that role.
