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

[KaleShibata]

The bigger one was just last night. Doma Castle. I queue in with a scholar, gunbreaker tank and another dancer healer. The other dancer and tank both seemed to have queued in together. The tank pulls big, and compliments the group saying it was going much smoother than his last group.

I ask if his last group had low dps or something. They say that the healer wasn't doing any damage and just spamming psystick when the tank was at full health and did no damage and the Samurai wasn't aoeing.

The healer suddenly accuses them of using a parser tool. Tank replies that no, it's just easy to tell when things take forever to die. Scholar flips out and just lets the tank die and chewing the tank out about not being helpful to the prior group etc, calling him the s word and then berating him for being negative and not helpful with his prior group.

The tank started to explain that he tried to give advice i his prior group and I called the scholar out for berating other people for not being helpful yet he just wiped our group on purpose out of spite. Healer leaves. A moment later we get another healer and the run finishes smoothly. Not sure what was up with that healer. If he wanted to argue with the gunbreaker go ahead, but he was wasting my time as much as the person he was arguing with despite me not having been in this prior run he was critcizing the tank for so as far as I'm concerned the Scholar was being a self righteous hypocrite rather than accomplishing anything productive.

Ultimately it wasn't really that big of a deal, we got a new healer pretty quick, but it's the principle of the thing that really annoyed me here. Having a spat with someone in your party is no excuse to inconvenience the ENTIRE party.

I'm just going to facepalm at that sudden healer melt down over absolutely nothing...

Just...I've no words.

Queued into an "1 min in Progress" Dohn Mheg last night (was farming weapon skins on DNC.) to see the healer yelling something like "It's not me! Your gear sucks" to the tank before rage quitting the instance. Literally they were only 2 trash packs in. Everyone left but me and the tank. Apparently healer blew a gasket because the tank was "under geared" and multi-pack pulling, even though they didn't wipe. Didn't even give the guy a chance to try single pull.

I main WHM so I took a look at his gear. "Undergeared" LOL, no not really. The tank was in 390 and the odd 400, but 390 is literally the ilvl of the gear in the first dungeon... like... I can't even express words at how asinine that was to tell that poor tank. We got a second DPS (they said the same thing I did about the tanks gear being fine) and I *think* they had a healer friend queue up to help (another WHM), we continued to clear the dungeon doing single pack pulls with 0 issue (he was holding hate just fine, the healer could heal/dps, etc.).

Needless to say by the end of the dungeon I can 100% say with absolute certainty that the original healer was a complete ass and it WAS their issue and not the tank. SMH. And people wonder why some tanks have tankiety...

[Bright-Flower]

Yeesh. I mean I get calling out a tank's gear when you like, queue into Doma Castle or Castrum Abania in Shire gear. (Or the equivelants for this expansion.) But yeah that seemed like plenty good gear for the 73 dungeon.

Two stories today, the first funny, the second not so much.

Load in to start roulettes today, begin with EX roulette and land in the new final dungeon. Things go incredibly smoothly - I pull more or less wall-to-wall and the healer's keeping up really well, mobs melt quick. Only initial hiccup was an unnecessary rescue behind one of the stones during the first boss when I'd gotten to one closer already, but wasn't that big of a deal in the long run. Then, when we've got the final boss down to about 15% left, my cat decides she needs attention now and starts crawling all over me. I proceed to run off the side of the arena while I'm distracted. >D Luckily, the healer got me back up quick, and things went smoothly from there. Kudos to that WHM for an awesome run.

Then I load into Trial Roulette and land in Innocence. First thing I do is check our healer's gear and find one of them is still in Augmented Scaevan gear. At level 79. Hoo boy. Thanks to the ilvl sync dropping me back to 420, I spent most of that fight blowing every cooldown I had to stay alive, and we only survived Innocence's ultimate because I dropped an lb3, otherwise the two debuff stacks would have killed both healers (one just barely survived, and the Scaevan healer died regardless). Ugh. That was definitely a carry for that healer.

Yeah now THIS is a case of being undergeared. Makes me wish that roulettes had ilvl requirements for leveling duties. Then again maybe then people would just cheese it to avoid the new trials.

Went on Dohn Mheg to get my WHM to 74 before work, got a GNB and two DNCs. Dungeon went fine enough, first pull was a normal one but after it the tank asks if we want bigger pulls. Dancers do, I didn't say anything but prepare myself to do way more healing than damage. Which is what happened, but it mostly went fine.

One of the mandatory small pulls did see a dancer die due to standing in AoEs while my swiftcast was down because I used it for Holy but they laughed it off. The big problem came on the big pull after the second boss. I had just gotten to 74 so ya know, new shiny big damage skill I wanted to try and use to help out. Instead it didn't help because the tank went from full to near death pretty quick and by the time I Bene'd him I instead got myself because dead tank. After the wipe I joke about it a little, then the tank says they used Superboliode just a little too late as well! Good laughs all around, we try again. This time I end up getting the Bene up, and a little bit after he does still need to use Superboliode even with me more on focus heal but it all works out.

Also I had my first fall on the final boss's walk puzzle. That was the biggest fail of all.

Lota every day all week.

The wipes. The pointless wipes.

Also, the runs are getting slower every day! My Alliance Roulette hates me!

I do big pulls.
No one dies, nothing seems out of the ordinary.
In one of the big pulls we die because the healer gets hit by AoE, and when I point out that we should kill those first one of the dps starts going at me and very rudely tells me to pull less.
I say something like '' if the healer wants me to pull less, the healer can tell me '', and I get cussed out because apparently they know each other irl and the healer told the dps irl that they wanted smaller pulls but had said nothing in chat before ( and we had run into no problems, and on top of that it was the dps who ninja pulled the extra AoE mob and not me so that wasn't even my fault ).
Then the healer finally speaks and people continue to be rude...


How the hell am I suppose to read the healers mind and why is it my fault that the dps ninja pull <_<?
I continued doing big pulls btw, and didn't break a sweat ( it was a lower level dungeon, the damage wasn't even high ).
Guess they just wanted someone to blame...

Edit: Btw, why is it always the people with the cutest characters lol?
Obviously most people playing cute characters are cool, but every time that someone is rude to me they always play cute characters with cutsey mogs o_o.

[PurplePickle]

Healer died to avoidable damage it's the healers fault. If you die to avoidable damage its 100% always your own fault

It's the people who dress to be super cute that you need to watch out for the most. They're vipers.
