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

I assume this was the 2 pulls after the first boss with either one or the 2 Zerker mobs. If it was those, they have to make sure that their Zerker cast (I may remember it wrong) is stunned and silenced, if not, they get a nasty damage up buff. Their AE will cleave for 90k+ and their Auto will hit like trucks, combined with all other trash beating on them, it's most likely death.

If not those, then I do not know what they have done.

It was the first pull in the dungeon actually. Every subsequent pull was just as bad though we muddled through without wipes or deaths. I've healed the two pulls after the first boss just fine, even if the cast got through. It hurts, yeah, but I know what to expect and can react accordingly. So far every group I had just ate it and Holy builds up stun resistance quite fast, so stunning is always out of picture anyway.

I get you. Everyone else is way too hostile, in my opinion. I click off AST buffs, cause I don't need them. I'm that good.

If you're clicking buffs off, you're not good. At all.

You're that good? You could be even better, but apparently 'good' is enough.

This click off AST buffs I’ve read about in a few places. Like why tho? It seems like more trouble to somehow deny a buff than simply accept it and enjoy the boost to whatever

As much as I love some classic forum drama, ya'll sheep are bandwagoning a bit hard now and it's getting dull.

Seriously, where my duty finder stories at?

To be fair, I don't have any. My runs recently have been smooth, even having a run in ST where all the tanks happened to stack in the same spot when the aggro wars happened, so the bosses just never spun. Made for a fun time.

It's ok I don't have any either. Ever since the school season has restarted, I haven't gotten EX trials in my mentor roulette so there's another avenue of rage gone. Sigh. It's so peaceful now.

Warrior mains: how is Warrior currently? How well can he handle certain situations? What's a good way to time your def CDs?
I'm genuinly curious because so far the Warriors I got in the ShB dungeons and Experts were pretty difficult to heal.

Between Raw Intuition/Nascent Flash's short cooldown timer, Rampart, Vengeance, Arm's Length, and Thrill of Battle, a Warrior can mitigate incoming damage for a total of 70 seconds. Shake It Off, if timed well, can also cover a few seconds of incoming damage. And though Holmgang requires cooperation with a healer to make good use of it, it's nothing to be sneezed at. A Warrior player who spaces out their cooldowns well and takes advantage of the massive self healing afforded by Nascent Flash+Chaotic Cyclone shouldn't have too much trouble staying alive.

I got one DUN F____ING SCAITH......
Where do start???

Oh yeah the beginning, First Bose 8 wipes most people left after two, I Get it some people don't like moving so much, this boss you gotta move around because of mechanics.
Moving on started to notice the A group had a tank with broken gear.../slapface...B group had three dps who were im guessing paralyzed because they stood in every AoE you could stand in....sorry healers!
We manage to get to Diabolos and you guess it many, many, many wipes...12 in total before time ran out.....Mercy ME

I am not an expert raider but in stretch of the imagination, so please don't think im pulling an elite card out. I've done this dungeon several times in DF and never has there been such a lacking of movement for basic AoE dodging that is scripted for the most part.
However, that many wipes im thinking people are new and don't know mechanics....but going in with broken gear on an alliance raid is just plain ridiculous.....REPAIR BEFORE EACH RAID Cmon people takes all a few seconds and doesn't cost much

BTW I requed on PF and cleared with no wipes in about 18 minutes...HOORAY for PF!!!
