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

To be fair, the golem doesn't follow enmity. It just randomly targets whoever it wants.

True, but I wasn't referring to the scripted stuff, where the tank still holds hate even though the golem trots around. My enmity bar was through the roof most of the encounter for both golem and soulstone.

I think I wrote in this thread several months ago that I was actually kicked out of a group (as tank), because of this.

Sorry to hear that

[Sanctify]

thats what you get when you mix wow players with ff14

Fake news lol. Turns out, people in general can just suck. This WoW refugee hate mongering is getting old. New material plz.

A friend of mine was new to tanking, got this dungeon, and his group yelled and screamed at him for not holding aggro while Mr. No Aggro Table was No Aggro Tabling the party.

Dying... of laughter...

I dread the day this happens to me.

I've noticed quite of bit of healers in my Expert Roulette runs are the "zero dps" type healers. Could the upcoming changes in ShB benefit them? Who knows?

Can we just get rid of rescue? I've seen it used approx 0 times in a useful way and too gods damned many times in a way just to annoy/harass a party member because the healer decided they don't like them for some reason. theres too many healers lately using it like a revenge tool (even when theres no reason for such revenge)

Take for example JUST NOW! (I mean it. I just left.) On an alt playing DRG about to get my last tomestone of philsophy for the mount I want. Drop into stone vigil and on THE VERY FIRST mob pack the first thing the healer does is pull me away from the pack as far as they can go.

"excuse you?" i say

"oops :P" they say.

the hells is your problem? litterally nobody said anything to anyone get and you've already got a problem with me.

so I just pull my usual "what am i willing to put up with today?" and leave.

things like this bs has happened to my wife and I over the past few weeks. I think every mmo dev should consider the power they're giving people when they add a skill that lets people jerk their party members around the map against their will.

It's on a long CD so it can't be spammed to annoy people.

It has a ton of use in all levels of content from optimizing in Savage to yanking some stupid dps that's way out in Narnia into a healing spell/effect like Asylum.

It shouldn't be gotten rid of, I've used it to great effect countless times.

Honestly it seems like you overreacted imo, it's a joke in casual content and you could have just lolled and moved on.

I find rescue a very useful skill, since I saved many poor souls with it who couldn't reach a safe place in time.
Also, healers are people too and they might just missclick and pull you away without any bad intention. It happens to everyone.
So please, don't generalize all healers who use Rescue for the greater good as bad and revenge seeking bastards.
I find more bs people who think that everything what happens to them is a thing to make them frustrated and make them feel bad. Unless healer keeps pulling you away on cd and you can clearly tell he has something against you, don't jump on conclusions which might not be the case at all.

could be the usual "eh just DF activity, dont mind me being lazy a bit", i get that a lot too when doing DF.

but surprisingly yeah, there a lot of healer out there who still stick with pure healing style play (with casting dot as their only way to help dps), i dont really mind though since 1. i do that too sometimes, and 2. as long they keep us alive and well, all good for me.

Can we just get rid of rescue?

pls dont, i use that skill a lot for fun when iam with my guild or pug with "easy gong" DF party. i usually use it for fun prank when the last boss just need 1-2 hit from dps to die, i just pull someone (usually tank) to a big aoe or something =D

Is it just me or do people really NOT know how Castrum Meridianum works?
Even before the moogle event I've had constant streaks of people just pulling the whole schmeer instead of waiting 5 seconds for the searchlights to be turned off, AND pulling that huge phalanx of Colossi before Livia.
It's fine when I see they're new tanks, or doing it the first time but seeing 390+ geared people pulling just EVERYTHING? whadda fah?

And the cannons, nobody seems to realize if they tank up the road the cannons can't reach. Or maybe they just don't know what the cannons do?

Am i the crazy one?

Definetly not jus tyou, had a couple of co-tanks that did exactly what you described: pulling half the zone and die miserably afterwards, leaving the rest to fix the mess.
