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

happen on me too, doing fine until last boss then they kick me out. when i ask why they just casually said "the last boss right now reserved for our guildy, thanks for clearing the way" then proceed to /pet /poke /laugh me a couple times while kicking in progress.

bunch of ass, i just blacklist all of them. thankgod they are not on my server.

If they put that in the chat you can probably get a good report on them.

I agree on reporting them in this case as you have solid proof it is an unjust kick.

Got my WHM to 70, and I'm too broke to buy a ton of gear, so I've been running through the 70 dungeons to try and gear a bit between buying tome armor.

Running Hell's Lid last night, let the group know I'm still getting used to this WHM thing and it's only like the second or 3rd time I've healed it. Everything is going smooth until the second boss. I recently Fantasia'd from a Lala back to Elezen, still getting used to the movement speed, and didn't dodge one of the column attacks fast enough. I go down.

Being a healer, I'm used to auto respawning once I drop cause there's no hope. Halfway through the OK, I get a raise notification. This glorious Red Mage is gonna be nice, awesome. Accept the raise....right into the half room AOE. I tried to Bene myself to survive it but obviously it didn't go off in time. Down again.

By the time I can type out "omg guys I'm soooo sorry" the Red Mage has rezzed me again. We beat the boss, have a laugh about it, and got through the rest of the run just fine. The group was great, they comforted me before they all left, and I got 3 comms.

I'll get this high level healing thing down eventually. >.>

So you know in the future: When you're raised in combat you're actually totally invincible for a few seconds UNLESS you perform an action. So you can get raised right into World Destroying Attack that Wipes your Raid, take it full in the face, and THEN heal yourself and you'll be perfectly fine.... well except that the world was destroyed... that's a different problem.

I thought that was the case but I had full on healer panic at the time. Lol. *deep breaths*

Fun fact; if you're in the Atomos phase of the Ozma fight in Wiping City, and you rez right as they wipe the raid, they spam meteors on you until you die.

Neat, I didn't know that. Kinda makes you wonder why these bosses bother humoring us at all when they're capable of just doing one attack or spamming an attack and wiping us out.

It's best not to question video game logic. Just treat enrage mechanics as a game function with no basis in lore, because otherwise you'll be here all day.

Another day of leveling my alts jobs to 70. I have four left, PLD, DRK, MNK and MCH.

I have MNK to 66 and decided to start the day with Alliance raid.

No surprise, it was LotA.

I notice when we get to the Atomos, our tank probably doesn't know what they're doing cause they ended up going to Alliance A's spot (or were so slow they got put in there automatically.

When we got to the Vasago adds, it cemented it cause I was the one tanking it. Didn't say anything cause I was getting heals but they were pestering Alliance C this time and one of their healers spoke up in Alliance chat.

"Alliance B, take your tank. We don't need him."

I go to tell him he's at the wrong spot, but before I can reply, one of the other DPS in my group replies.

"Nah, our monk is doing fine."

So between chuckling and tanking the add I type out " -name-, you are on the wrong add."

He comes over and apologizes and says it's his first, but never picks up the add.

I wanted to get in on the banter and type out I'm a strong independent MNK and I don't need no tank, but I didn't want to tease the tank any further.

Nice to have a usually boring run have something amusing to distract.

Ultima the High Seraph eventually devolves into spamming her tankbuster every 5~6 seconds or so if you let her live long enough. It's kind of like a soft enrage, as eventually tanks run out of CDs and the busters tear through the healers and DPS. I thought it was kind of neat. Takes about 12 minutes to get her to that point, though.
