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

"WUT? Only green DPS? PURPLE OR BETTER OR GTFO! KICK AND BLACKLIST!"

Then i try another party and clear for the week without any serious trouble on my end, though the Bard was a walking accident and had to replaced after wiping us for the fourth time.

So much for FFlogs based discrimination not being a thing, green logs as a paladin is apparantly cause for being booted and blacklisted among some groups.

And where there's one rotten apple there is usually more, though fortunately i haven't had all that many incidents like this in the one and three quarters of a year i have played so far, so they don't seem to be THAT common, even if they do happen more often than i would like.

Judging from what others have said i seem to run into the worst sort of people more often than most, since there are so many saying they have never known such a thing to happen.

Not that my opinion matters to you but screenshots or it didn't happen. Especially when it comes to such a controversial topic as this.

Today, I had the fastest O12 run ever

Queue in progress to a 30 minute in progress run... and then it immediately ended due to Vote Abandon.

Back to trying to get a shaft from O12 (best roll this week: 32).

...So it turns out that if the damage is low, Omega will just loop the F/M phases over and over. Split happened an entire F phase later than usual here in one run.
And it appears that 9/10 summoners have their carbuncles etc attacking the invulnerable Omega during the DPS check phase.

Alpha 2 and people still don't know what a stack marker is.

I can't remember what duty I was in, but someone got a stack marker and ran away from the group or something, killing themselves and maybe one other person.

So in chat I say "You have to stack for that." Their response was that they forgot what that marker did.

The marker that shows up in, like, every single trial, dungeon, and raid.

And then into O10N, where I have now learned that a PLD offtank can heal themselves, the MT, and a competently dodging DPS, through everything except Akh Morn (post add-phase at least).

Yesterday was a lucky day for music.

I obtained O5-7 Boss theme, Kefka theme part 1 and 2, Chaos theme, and Migardsomer theme.

Only O1-3 theme, Exdeath theme, eScape and Heartless to go! Here's to hoping I get theme before I get the l70 300 Pally clears mount.

In further news many MTs appreciated me covering them for tankbusters as did healers who were rezing people and couldn't move out of damage pools due to hard casting. (I like using cover on party members but for whatever reason a lot of people don't appreciate it or dont realize it and try to run away from the protective tether)

I just finished a Sastasha run where I dropped dead twice and almost died two more times even with copious Potion and cooldown usage because the White Mage (not Conjurer, White Mage) refused to give me heals.

And every time I tried to gather all of the mobs together for the Thaumaturge, the Machinist would use his push skill to send one to the other side of the arena.

Should’ve kicked the whm for another healer. What good is a healer that doesn’t want to heal anyway?

[BillyKaplan]

the Machinist would use his push skill to send one to the other side of the arena.

I feel like a lot of people failed to notice that thing no longer does any damage and therefore is very, very circumstantial.

That and WHM Fluid Aura. Seen enough WHMs try to use that for no real reason, shoving one trash mob away from the group and out of my AoEs.
