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

Yesh....had a near wipe on Anemos of all places today. Last night, now that I think about it. Last night's near wipe was on Hazmat. Nobody was killing the blue add, so of course, when he went, it almost wiped out everyone fighting him. Did something something in Anemos that mechanics have started to get ignored? I was so afraid of losing my level (up to 32 right now), so thankfully there were healers on their game and got ppl back up quickly.

Then this morning, Juli of all things almost wiped everyone near her.

...still trying to figure that one out.

I just had a tank in Brayflox that was loosing more than half his health to a couple of ticks of the single stack poison. I pointed out that they needed to upgrade their gear cause they had on level 5 stuff and dps accessories and one of dps tells them their gear is fine, and tell me that I just need to esuna harder.

-foams at mouth-

NOT LIKE I WAS OUT OF MP OR ANYTHING.

They literally gave them no constructive criticism.

But oh yes... "Healer this is why you should have rescue on you bars."

Yes... I should have rescue on my bars... As a level 38 SCH... I'll get right on that.

But it's ok for the tank to just continue to stand in the puddles right.

XD I need to stop healing. Legitimate Salt Mage over here.

Rescue should honestly be deleted from the game. Complete waste of a skill slot.

It's party finder story but I have to mention this cuz it got my blood boiling

Today I ran into not one...not two...but THREE trap parties for Deltascape V4 savage

I clearly stated that this is a clear party(specifically a GCO prog) not a learning party......yet people either hitch a ride and remain silent or flatout lie.

From a healer that kept dying to Dualcast Blizzard 3 and didn't even properly heal during White Hole,to a tank that refuses to use his cooldowns and kept dying to Dualcast Thunder 3 over and over again,two samurais where one was dead all the time,a BLM who also kept dying and the other Samurai insisted that I should share his fire 3..........to a party with Neo with tanks that can't keep their aggro up and instead got a Forked Lighting in the face.

I get that this is old content relatively but

A/It isn't that old compared to Alex and Bahamut

B/That isn't an excuse to lie to the party's face(especially an amazing Red Mage who did his best during all of this....if you read this Naja I can't thank you enough you're amazing...im sorry you had to suffer with me)

And finally C/I would've let some of the bad apples today slide if they listened and were willing to learn,I tried my best to teach them the mechs and practically begged them to ask questions if there is something that confuses them.......but no.All I got was both silence and lies blatantly told to my face.

As if my last week's run with the floor ninja and the clueless paladin wasn't enough.

Like..........I legit hated myself today.I was the complete moron who couldn't see the writing on the wall the moment I saw that first Samurai.

This is pretty much my punishment for both failing to find a static group this whole time and for being too late to the party for those raids to be relevant.

I don't wanna be a trap and hitch a ride on a farm party of experts but it seems like that's my only option cuz otherwise I'll never be able to unlock UcoB anytime soon

Would be useful in the outside world if not for flying and two seated mounts.

Given the cooldown and the fact both healer and target need to be in combat? Eh.

STORY TIME.
Mentor roulette throws me into Sohm Al. I don't think it's that bad until the tank pulls only in Darkside. They're on level and with full NQ 115 gear. Granted they lose agro and we wipe. I ask for Grit, they finally pull grit and pull the entirety of the second section, before the first boss. Of course, they die horribly. Their MCH friend gets on my case how Grit doesn't help if there are no heals. I point out tank is a smudge undergeared and should probably not have pulled all that (healer also had agro, not sure what was up with them otherwise). "I managed to heal undergeared tanks just fine on my SCH" well good for you, you're not healing right now, are you?
MCH leaves, their tank buddy follows, and the thing falls apart. Both tank and healer need to be on-point for big pulls, especially in the leveling dungeons that start hitting a bit harder, but coddling the tank and blaming the healer isn't going to make the tank learn anything.

Forget this

By the glory of Rhalgar's greasy fist.....I DID IT

I FINALLY FOUND A GOOD PARTY AND WE DEFEATED NEO EXDEATH

BY THE TWELVE HYDAELYN FINALLY SMILED UPON ME XD

People willing to die to use tractor in FF11. Being in combat to use rescue is a minor inconvenience. The cooldown will be bad if they need to use it multiple times to get somewhere though.

Bad tanks are paper regardless of class.

This

Any tank,even the almighty paladins,will fall on their faces if they don't know how to use their cooldowns

Dark Knight can withstand so much damage if the tank timed their Blackest Night cast at the right time,and living dead speaks for itself
