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

I'm grinding Temple of Qarn a bit to level AST. This was my tank for the last run.



Yes, those are level 1 accessories.

Interesting this is coming from you. HQ left is what is important for that level, the fact you are seeing this shows they care.

The gear for body is level 35, heavy steel armor, unnable to quip head. same with the legs, level 35 unable equip feet.

For right, like earnings, looking by MB(I do not know what drops be best) I see a +3 strength and 4 DH that could be useful improvement but in general the right is flat out bad for a while. It only starts to really matter at 50. (neck you need level 36 for +3 stat) brace is the same as neck, +1 all stats is nice still for that level, novice ring is BIS, then there is a +3 stat ring for level 29

It is rare to see someone care that much at that level, next time you try out someone, try a bit better to know what you are talking about.

Yeah truth be told I don't think it's worth worrying about right side gear (or any stats besides Defense and Weapon Damage) until level 40 at the absolute earliest but more likely level 50. It's like complaining about people wearing 340 gear when they "could" (theoretically) be in 370 gear, in Hell's Lid. If it's not enough to make or break the content then don't worry about it.

agreed, that is very petty for that level. Though your comparison is a bit off. It would be like having full 370 left (since left is shown to be max here) while complaining about having 300-320 right. (I'd admit I would find it a bit weird, but nothing worth commenting on outside making conversation)

LotA still wiping raids in 2018! Just got out of one run where: Alliance A first didn't have 4 on pad for Atomos, and then in Phleggy fight none of them ran back to their pad for Ancient Flare. Whole raid wiped.
Idk, I'd at least expect some people who knew what to do to be in one alliance but I guess not...

The nitpickery about accessories during the levelling stages is giving me some serious FFXI vibes.
That tank's actually rather decent, considering alot of the ones i bother to check are wearing nq outlevelled dps lefts.

Ran into an Archer (not Bard) in Doma castle. Apparently there was a mishap with glamour, weapon swapping and gear set malfunctions. They didn't realise they had queued without their soulstone and didn't want to requeue at the time the DF popped. I didn't particular mind nor am I particularly salty about it. Just thought it was a funny story to share.

Did Trial Roulette and got Titan hard.

I'm thinking, ok, old easy one.

I was a little annoyed cause the other AST went noct sect, and I hate having to go Diurnal, but whatever it'll be quick and easy.

The first person to die is the other healer. They just stand on the edge and fall off. So I'm there solo healing in Diurnal which I hate.

Then it looks like three of the dps just jump off. Like they were giving up. Which is also a big annoyance to me.

Whatever. I heal through it, easily, and leave with five comms.

I'm still annoyed though.

At least you got coms. Someone I talked to though discord was complaining how she was on RDM for O8N, a lot of people kept dying to the mechanics, Kept needing to raise both healers (or least one to raise the other) and would routinely raise others on top of that because healers had no mp from dying over and over themselves. Someone "D/C" (she suspects it was forced due to happening to the first near wipe)

They got of 2- level 2 LB and one, LB level 1, and thanks to her carrying, something that should have been a wipe at least twice, ended up being completed in 14 minutes, one com.

Getting comms in any of the newer 8man raids just doesn't happen. I've healed S7N and had coheals that just die to everything, raise them and keep everyone else up by myself, leave and don't even get a single com. Multiple times I've had this happen.

People get salty and ungrateful in those raids.

That's the RDM life for you. Work quietly while you heal and raise and go unnoticed because people rarely look at the names when sending comms, they just look for the blue or green tank/healer icon. I'm guilty of doing it too.

If I'm playing DPS in a hectic battle, I'm very unlikely to be keeping track of who is doing what. Unless I get a direct raise from the red mage, I probably won't notice getting cures or whether they're raising other players.

And yes, I'll most likely commend one of the healers or the tank, unless they were noticably not playing well, or one of the DPS did something outstanding.

I see, well she basically said she has no wishes to play with ungrateful people, and just put everyone that was on the same server on blacklist as it appeared they were in a pre form group, since some left right away, reflecting they got the weekly drop and just there to help someone. Doing that much to carry muti-wipe group for 14 mins and only 1 com? can you blame her?

You would not notice the healers repeatedly dying? or having 3-5 dead at times?
