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

Same. I accidentally did that too. I hadn't done that place since the MSQ so I didn't know there was a phase 2 like that. People were SO mad. I felt bad. I remember now though, but I never seem to get that place.

Nabriales

Not sure what that is...

*internet search*

oooooooh... haven't seen that in a long time

but the laughing and leaving part still kind of sounds like a troll-ish thing

70 roulette in Skalla. This was after tactician and invig were used on the same pull. The samurai was single targeting the entire time. Didn't even use Tenka Goken at least after 2 single target combos which I can at least deal with, nah, just Midare all the way, which I don't think they even buffed with kaiten either tbh.

Please, melee jobs.. take goad... and please just use your AoE skills, those pulls took forever. They will go quicker and since I'm on bard your TP will be even less of an issue since I can help sustain your AoE output.

So I got Nabriales during trials roulette. Easy right? Well the DRG had the bright idea of using the LB 3 right before the phase transition...meaning we couldn't use it anymore on the tear in order to get out. We wiped. He laughed, proud of what he has done and left.

Reported.

Can complete it quite easy without the lb if tanks know how to do their jobs.

And assuming that most of the party did not retain the debuff after they got sucked in; practically most of the parties I encountered didn't know or bother to stay away from the crack during the transition

That and a few other things are why I often encourage the LB to be saved. I've run that instance so many times since I first joined this game and yet I have yet to have more than maybe a handful of parties actually handle the tear without the need for the LB. If it's not tanks refusing to soak damage, it's people being undergeared. If it's not people being undergeared, it's them not popping their buffs before they get pulled in. If it's not that, it's generally poor DPS or people being new - and so on and so forth. So while the instance can easily be cheesed these days, I never find myself banking on it. It's one of the first 'walls' in progression most players face, and coupled with general player error it's often better to just hit the macguffin button and let it pick up any slack from the team.

I hear as a warrior I don't need TP in Qarn normal, because what's what I was treated to. Sure the party knew what they were doing but near the end with the vaults, despite no one seemingly needing the exp, the ninja kept activating the closest 2 vaults to the final corridor. This was keeping me in combat longer and having to overpower more. Essentially 12 enemies without a break and no goads. I had half a mind to let them die but I put up with it to finish the dungeon faster. This is basically the equivalent of the dps pulling for the tank without saying a word the entire run. I pace myself pretty good in leveling dungeons due to limited tools and TP restoration but if you want more exp, SAY SOMETHING. It is not difficult to communicate.

Some people did not receive a comm this day. I am more receptive to "Hey can we kill the enemies from the vaults?" than people summoning them by backtracking when I already pulled another mob. I had to quickly do the scales myself to prevent them from summoning more. They lost that privilege.

Expert roulette just now. Just see samurai, that know only 6-7 skill of his job - standart 1-2-3-1-4-5-1-6- Kaiten buff(dont know how we learn this) - Midare - restart. All way through The Burn. I try but not see any aoe or dot or just any of 52+ skill. Just how?

[KaivaC]

Ever had a fight in the Vault last so long against Ser Grinnaux that there were no safe spots to get knocked back to without being in the vicinity of one of those voids that you're supposed to place on the outside of the arena? Ever wonder how fun it is as a tank trying to place the boss in a safe spot for the DPS, only for them to drop one of those ugly puddles right on top of the boss - repeatedly?

"Hey tank, you need to move the boss to a safe spot!"

Oh, how I wish there was a safe spot I could pull him to when I literally dragged him all over the arena because DPS kept dropping their puddles either on me or on the boss.

Doing roulettes with friends, so we have a party of four. Experts first, then queue for leveling... only to discover that we forgot to check who was healing. We load into Titan normal mode with three DPSes and a tank.

But wait! I'm a summoner! I have healing spells! Absolutely rubbish healing spells, sure, but it's either that or twiddling our thumbs until we can abandon.

And off we go. Physick Physick Physick Physick prettymuch nonstop through the battle, DPSes using Second Wind, and we get him down to around 20% before the inevitable death.

Second round, Echo boost and the Physick button relocated to my primary hotbar instead of three levels down. Wiped at 1% when the tank died and I was left running in circles hoping that my Bio spell and Carbuncle would take down his last sliver of health before he took mine.

Third try was wonky and I got caught in a landslide, but on the fourth... Victory! We beat Titan without a healer!
