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

Lucky you.

I get the "It's impossible to fail," parties and then I'm jumping off because everyone is dead.

Well it doesn't always succeed but the amount of fails for line strat is waaaay less than what I encountered with dps in and out in which either melees hug the orb too close that it the fire explosion overlaps or the healers and tanks missing their partners with water

Honestly once the genesis cap is lifted... I'm not touching alphascape loot again.

Whatever sub stat the omega gear has is not worth the pain when I can just augment my scaevan gear even if it doesn't have the most optimal substats

[TaiyoShikasu]

Again, lucky you. Granted I also stopped doing O9S with BRD because I don't trust fools to not blow me off the platform, so instead get to deal with the wonders of Chaos spinning for Damning Edict or the tank deciding to play Ring Around the Rosie with the boss as NIN.

At least the former is because I'm bad, but if melee are stacked behind the boss whenever his back is open, don't spin it.

Should've just went with DRG.

Don't even know why I do Chaos anymore as anything I can get from it is just for jobs I don't even play.

This isnt exactly a new thing, and is what i used to do when tanking her. However back when it was recent content, melee dps REALLY didn't like that, because it messed up their positionals, even if it was better for group survivabilty. Ofc nowadays, because most people outgear it, the dps loss from missed positionals doesn't matter as much, but I still remember getting blasted in alliance chat by the monk, ninja or dragoon.

I think groups I was in on Aether disliked it for a different reason—the tanks may not know what they’re doing, and instead cleave the entire alliance with it.

That happened more often than I could count when the content was current.

If the caster is standing just to the SE/SW of you, you won’t get blown anywhere but NW/NE. They’d have to be standing beside you or in front of you to blow you off the edge.

I feel so bad for this tank I had in Castrum Abania. I usually don't run leveling roulette that much anymore. I saw that healer was in need, so I figured whatever and joined. Tank said it was his first time here. We were like it's all good. He was 69 and had a full set of the Doma Castle gear. I had my full toolkit. So I was in my lazy Expert mode. Throw up a shield and Excog and just DPS. That poor tank almost died so many times because I wasn't paying attention. He never died, but he dropped below 25% so many times. I blame Eos, she was slacking. And when I did start paying attention, he was using his CDs good. So if he did die, it would've fallen on me, I mean Eos.

As much as I like rescue... I really wish some people would learn what classes have a gap closer or can trust that not everyone is suicidal or ignorant.

Last week? Rabanastre and I was doing my melee combo on RDM on Hashbrowns as the 3 air pillars were forming. MT is dragging the boss to the safe corner and I am following while in the midst of my melee combo. Can I finish? Well.... yes but not before one of the healers rescues me through the boss and interrupts. This I at least didn't take an issue with since it was in good faith (in their experience a lot of people that "seem" to be close by die to it).

Tonight I was doing Saint Mocianne Hard roulette (game, please stop) and on the first boss (I was WAR) I get rescued as the boss does devour, making my onslaught kind of redundant but damage is damage. Course the healer was a dead silent mentor that also left immediately. I don't much care for the mentor memeing but other than that the run went fine, that is until someone decided to smack the second mud pie to the wall. Shake it off has its uses.

But I'll think of it this way, I don't believe either of these were poor choices to rescue but If I had clairvoyance I would totally use it to save inner release and surecast to block rescues I don't want ;p

I know that feel. As SAM, I often try to squeeze some more DPS before jumping out/in using Yaten/Gyoten. Occasionally though, a healer yanks me with Rescue, ruining my flow. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, I know they're doing it with good intention. But please hold using your Rescue until you're sure that someone really need it.

If you're still seeing that three pillar thing in Rabanastre, there's something up and I'd say that healer is at fault.

Maybe it was a poor choice of wording, it's the ones that spawn in the air clustered together doing massive proximity damage.

I think that one is called Hammerfall... but I could be wrong

[TaiyoShikasu]

Oh, that's normal then. Sounded like you were describing Submission Tower.
