Of late I getting SCH that refuse to use their whole HEALING Kit, not even fairy spells, and resort to spam physick.

I saw a dancer in Heaven-on-High who wouldn't use either Step ability. A dancer who wouldn't dance. Uh......

Man. I ran into a healer who refused to heal me because I wouldnt pull everything on the rock straight before the 2nd boss in Bardam Mettle. I was a i270 GNB. I big pulled everything up to that point. But I know that area can be sketch so I didnt for that one time. Healer goes pull big for heals. They refused to heal me the rest of the run which we wiped a couple times. at the end of the run I got vote kicked by the healer and his lackey to "teach me". Which made no sense due do i was running that particular dungeon for exp and kicking me at the end after I already got 98% of the exp made no sense. Mind you they literally wasted time standing outside of the final boss for 3 mins waiting for loot to drop so they could kick me for wasting their time lol.

anybody else seeing the highest page on this thread as stuck at a lower number on the first general discussion list? might be time for a Part 2 thread if it isn't just a bug on my end.

Ouch. Vote Abandon on normal Dancing Plague. My co-healer really seemed to know their stuff. I'd only done it once, so I had some unforced errors, but we generally kept the heals and rezzes coming. But it just wouldn't work. I hope everyone who needed it for the MSQ gets through soon. When things start breaking down it's hard to put them back together.

Then got Yojimbo instead. Tanks and healers stacked for chain, but we all died. Thank you Red Mage for saving the day!

Sometimes. It's a bug with the forums themselves.

I ran The Twinning for the first time. I swear this DNC was trying to kill me IRL during the thing. First boss, I accidentally free a dog. I see what happened and clicks what I'm not supposed to do. It must've clicked with her too because every chance she got, she freed more and more dogs. Like six dogs. Cause you know, blind healing isn't stressful enough, let's add MORE DAMAGE. At one point her and the other DPS are dead. And I'm throwing everything to keep the tank alive and waiting for Swiftcast to comeback. The other DPS releases. And I manage to get the DNC up. We manage to beat the boss, the three of us. Second boss, she just stood in AoEs. Now the third and final boss hits like a truck. And it has a laser mechanic. DNC decides to walk into one. I guess I see what it does. I can't blame her, I was curious too, but not enough to do it because I knew it would've been bad. How bad? Like 30k damage to everyone bad. Okay, good we know what happens if you walk into and don't let it finish. She kept walking into them. We wiped twice. Tank quit. We got another one. I guess she had her fill of causing raid wide damage because she stopped walking into them. But, it didn't matter. Because even when the lasers did there job one or both of the DPS were dead by standing in the way. Everytime. The DRK caught on and used TBN on them. I don't know if it Altruism to try and save them or if it was to just fill Dark Arts.

My favorite part was when it was done and everyone was gone and I ran back and to read the journals for lore.

Met a dancer who doesn't dance at all in The Qitana Ravel, or partner up with anyone. Just straight up 1, 2, 3. It was interesting.

Sorry in advance for the grump but I just need to vent. Why are all the primal dog farm parties right now actually learning parties? I just want the doggos I missed before ShB. I'm usually happy to help people learn but if it says farm I kind of expect people to have cleared the fight and at least have some idea of what to do.

I was in a Tsukuyomi farm today where half of the party, 3 dps and 1 healer, died because they didn't stand on the right color when she first casts selenomancy. This was the third pull after the other two pulls where we died to badly placed meteors or people not knowing where to stand for bright/dark blades. We got them raised but then died to (more) badly placed meteors. The best this party could do, with unsynched level 80 and the echo bonus, was get her down to 12 percent. If it had said learning party in PF I would have been cool with the mistakes, I messed up more than a few times when I was learning this fight, but this was supposedly a farm party.

I've had similar experiences in a few different SB primals this week. It feels like people were waiting for lv80 to run these fights so they could get carried through/make the fights easier, but the average lv80 item level isn't quite high enough yet to make it work. Not to mention that insta-kill mechs are still a thing. Ok, rant over.

On a positive note, ShB is amazing and I hope Natsuko Ishikawa (the writer) gets a huge raise and also writes all the MSQ content from now until the end of time.

The people who wanted their dogs got them already, so you're left with the people who didn't care enough to do it before.

For my story, I'd say the time where I do mass pulls for Doma Castle, and what do I get for heals? Benefic 1. Only Benefic 1. Why are healers afraid to press their buttons again?
