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

[Raldo]

Ran the lv79 dungeon last night for the umpteenth time.

"Boy, this stuff sure is dying slow," I think to myself. Examine the MNK. All their gear has a blue background. What? Oh geez, it's all the i400 Augmented Scavean stuff. I call them out on their shit, and their response was "Even the lv68 gear is worse than this." "Only if you're looking at the normal quality gear." "Yeah, I can't afford the expensive stuff."

Ughhhhhhhh the MSQ hands you gear like crazy, so either this person is selling that gear, is too dumb to realize what those coffers are, or this isn't their first job to 80. Even with that in mind, each leveling dungeon gives you at least one piece of gear guaranteed at the end of the dungeon, which means I guess they're leveling their MNK solely through roulettes/sidequests/whatever and it happened to throw them in this duty as their leveling roulette, maybe? ARGHGHASLDKJFLKASDGLKAJDLKAS They were doing SUBSTANTIALLY less than me, a 79DNC in full 79 dungeon gear except for my lv77 weapon. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. iLevel requirements in leveling dungeons, please.

After that, I started examining my co-DPS as soon as we got in.

Next Lv79 dungeon run: A MCH with mostly lv75 armor, but the lv70 weapon. Still faster kills than that garbage monk.
Final Lv79 dungeon run: A DRG with mostly lv75 armor, but an unaugmented (i390) lv70 weapon, but was somehow SO GOOD that I could not keep above them on the hate list on bosses no matter how hard I tried.

Geez, that initial monk must've been absolutely garbage, regardless of their gear.

The gear you get in the level 79 dungeon isn't much better then the iLvl 400 gear.
You just got a trash dps.

I'm guessing this happens when people use Palace of the Dead to level/

They died on the first mass pull when we made landfall because they couldn't keep the tank up (they had both popped Superbliode and Benediction at the same time, causing us to wipe) and on the first boss because they didn't heal themselves before the stack marker landed AND WE ALL STACKED ON HIM.

Bloodburst on the second boss, thankfully he never got a stack, would eat over half of his hp. I only ended up getting a stack because I always screw up on the shadowclone drops.

Third boss he almost died again because roomwide aoe damage would eat large chunks of his health.

That's how the shindig went. I will give that healer credit for doing their best with healing and holy spam but dang that damage.

Eden 1

First Go two people decide it's brilliant to run into a glowing wall and promptly die encourage others to do so freind of two pulls boss and instant wipe Eat a thirty immediately after.

Second group inform group not to touch glowing walls blm immediately tests wall and dies... am I missing something or is the playerbase just... trolls?

I had this happen before we pulled the boss but it was much funnier. Was in E1 with friends, and said "The walls kill you, don't touch them" - 10 seconds later we wipe (without pulling the boss.)

On behalf of myself and my apparently overtired brain, I'd like to extend an apology to the group I did Sohm Al normal with last night for just flat-out forgetting half the mechanics in that dungeon, and for having difficulty paying attention. It was already after midnight for me, and I woke up early yesterday, but I was getting close to passing the next level for my DRG, and I thought "well, just one more dungeon before maintenance should be fine right?"

Evidently I was mistaken. I don't think it helps I'm still trying to rewire my brain from caster DPS mode to melee DPS mode, not to mention trying to arrange my hotbars to find what's more comfortable and train my muscle memory to use them. In any case, I still felt a bit embarrassed even if the mistakes weren't overly detrimental aside from me stupidly not reacting in time to AOEs in the last boss and getting myself killed. I don't suspect any of you will read this, but if you do just know I'm sorry for subjecting you to that.

I wasn't there for this but someone posted this in my FC's discord and I couldn't NOT share it here.

That MCH should have been kicked the very second he admited it.

A dps not wanting free damage...? I...I don't...my brain...

What year is it? What world am I living in? What reason is there to live?
