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

I found something...interesting while finishing leveling my Black Mage to 70.



This is of course normal. But interestingly enough, when we reached the end of the dungeon, this popped:


I could see if they had one 70, maybe queued in progress at one point and shortcutted, but I guess someone really dislikes dungeons for leveling.

Lots and lots of Heaven-on-High runs?

Queued from msq roulette and had an amazing co-tank that just made the run go super smooth! No battling for aggro/rubber banding, grabbing adds, and waiting for/explaining stuff for the new players(had a mentor crown too!). Msq roulette isn't by any means hard but it was just nice to see someone do what they could to make it less tedious for the rest of us. If you're reading this, thank you!

Actually we have that guy in our FC that has the habit to max out everything, he basically was done before he even had the story completed, while i admire his determination it was rly painfull to watch....

Some ppl are like that. Well and some buy like 5 jump potions xD

Luckily Suzaku bugged out so we didn't get enrage, just a 2nd set of the 4 colour sequence plates.

Wait so its not my imagination, she sometimes does that?

O10s yesterday.

Had a group that used a real strange strat.

They got kinda upset that i couldn't instantly adapt to a strategy i had never even heard of before on the very first pull.

To make the matter worse, one part of the strategy was entirely reliant on RNG to keep the tanks from dying.

Voke-Shirk whenever possible, because the MT has huge problems keeping aggro on the boss without extra help. Because aggro management is not the Warriors job, it's everybody elses.
Tank Swap after first tankbuster.
Tank Swap again as neccessary.

Die horribly to the debuffs because RNG says current tank gets doom from flying enemies and Shirk is still on cooldown, and the other tank somehow generates less aggro than me, despite being a Warrior while i'm a Paladin, causing me to get aggro back after the provoke and take an auto.

Followed by my death triggering a doom spiral that wipes the whole group.

Attempting to point out that a strategy that relies on RNG to not kill one of the tanks is not a very good strat naturally does not end well.

I'm a bit disturbed both by how this fact needed to be pointed out and the way they reacted to it.

This is funny. People seeking attention by showing how much likes their posts have :P

Anyway that's for the old posts.

Yesterday I found a Party Finder for Satasha. Looks pretty normal until I read the detail:

"iLvl: 400. Need a fast clear. Heal yourself, skip dogs, <and something I don't remember> or kick."

Sounds like you ran into a premade party that's expects any pug to overly exert themselves to cover for the deficiencies one of theirs have. I'm open to alternate strategies but not ones created to support bad play

Feels like you're in the wrong thread

Had to solo heal most of Ridorana on WHM. My cohealer AST was in Diurnal for everything, which IMO is redundant to have 2 regen healers when you could have shield+regen but the important was:
-She died about two or three times per boss (so consequentially did not have much MP to start with)
-would use A. Helios when the party was on like... 95% HP. You know, an amount of HP that they could easily just.. not bother with since at those times there wasn't often an incoming aoe for a while. So she was OOM a lot, despite having a bard and MCH in party with refresh, plus a BLM w/ Mana Shift.

I didn't have to use Medica or Medica II all that much, just an assize and Cure III for the post-comp mode aoe, but the lack of mana on that was spent on raising my cohealer. Eventually just felt like leaving her on the floor tbh.
I got 5 comms though \o/

They were more than likely memeing.
