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

Has anyone having a lot of trouble at Castrum Abania? I don't see that dungeon that hard, but the only reasons I never get into it are either I'm undergeared, or some teammates are new and/or undergeared. Nothing much to say at the first boss; the second boss is kinda struggling when you explain how the element circles work but your teammates still don't understand, and the final boss is noctorious when the healer doesn't know what they should be doing when time goes on.

Yikes

There's a lot of unseen bleed/vuln derp going on for that last boss. Its why I hate healing it. The tethers are annoying too. He does them right after he nails the tank with one or both and if you're timing is bad or yours doesnt get killed fast enough (because everyone is targeting the big ad with the accelerant) it grabs you and you cant do anything. So yeah. Its crappy for healers.

Protip for healers in Arboretum HM:

If I'm (a DPS) clearly heading towards the lever in the last room, don't sprint just to pass me in order to pull it and we both end up interacting at the same time. You do realize the tank is dragging two rooms worth of mobs behind him/her yea? Maybe you should heal instead of pulling the lever. That's BList worthy. Soo annoying.

I've both tanked and healed that dungeon numerous times and never seen a tank take enough damage to require much of anything other than OGCD heals to keep them up. If they're taking that much damage they're doing something horribly wrong. Also the DPS almost never go for the lever when I'm in there, so I end up doing it anyway.

In had to leave a Thordan Ex farm last bight due to connection issues. I didn't want to cost them their farm as the tank when I'm seeing the fight progress every ten seconds. I felt bad but they were okay with it after I explained it. I dont even need the bird, i just want the card ;_;

In a triple triad update;

15 cards remain
5 dungeon cards
5 trial cards
3 Heaven on High cards
1 Eurika card
1 Gold Saucer card (lowest priority)

I hate the low drop rates on cards. I know RNG is necessary to keep the game going longer or whatever, but I've killed Penthesilea 18 times in Eureka and haven't gotten it once. Made worse by the fact that she's low priority compared to pretty much every other NM and her mobs aren't soloable.

At least let me trade her flames for the card when I get a certain number.

Healed an Expert Roulette yesterday (the Burn.) The run was quick and clean and I've no complaints about it. However the tank emoted "rubbing my tummy" at the end of the run, which was a new experience for me.

When it comes to NPCs drop rates. I do not mind low drop rates.

However, on duties, I do. To do 1 run for a card can be quite a large time commitment. Dungeons can take upwards of 30-35minutes (hopefully not though) for 1 chance at a card where as you can likely play an NPC about 45-65 times in that time if you have a really refined strategy.

If I saw that emote it'd trigger my fight or flight instinct, and no I don't mean the PLD ability. O_O

I'm hoping they add her card to a npc like they did with the Louhi card last patch.
I'm just missing her and Hiruko from Heaven on High gold sacks now.

Congrats btw. Thordan yet still eludes me.

Got to love the HoH cards. RNG on RNG IS great.

On an offhand note. Most trackers don't have it listed. But Pazuzus card can be dropped for the FATE as a possible bonus reward as well

Thanks. The Thordan card seems to have in incredibly low drop rate, was over 70 runs before I got mine. Hopefully the RNG will smile on you soon!

Yuuuup. I haven't tried in awhile since my last solo HoH run was killed by a DC.

Nice. Makes sense they would at it there too.

Yeah, I had more fun grinding that NPC in the Doman Enclave for Hien's card than I did running Qarn Hard a million times to get the mummy card.
