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

I had an odd one the other day, but I dunno if I'm right or wrong about it.

A tank that was casting their tank stance on/off/on/off all the time. I thought the tank stances were toggles?

So, they'd have the stance on, gather aggro, we'd kill it all. Next mob, stance goes off, then goes back on and we're away again, does that make sense? (The ability was Grit)

I'm not actually complaining, I just saw it happening and thought it was odd - I only saw it happening because I happened to be healing (And I'm never healing again, he's benched, forever, I got the unicorn mount and that's it. :P)

Going through Sirensong sea as a DNC and found it odd that the other DNC chose the healer as it’s dance partner for no reason. As a DPS I tend to be around the other DPS to make it easier to heal and the other DNC was evading me like I had the plague. I even noticed he deliberately used Cure Waltz far from me so I wouldn’t get its minuscule heals. I may be overthinking it until after the final boss he writes “lol you suck as dancer” and immediately leaves before I could type a response

That’s one very petty dancer and I didn’t do anything to provoke him. Idk where this resentment came from tbh.

There tends to be confusion about DNC stacking. Closed position apparently stacks with 2 DNC as partners, but it's not a well known fact. The other DNC prolly though that those skillswould be unstable and that it might had been better to buff the Tank/Healer over each other

So, DNC intentionally doesn't put you as DNC partner and chooses the healer.....

The healer. Not the tank. Not the other dps. The healer.

And you're the one that sucks as a DNC? Nah, you dance if you want to and you leave that troll behind. Cause trolls don't dance and if they don't dance, then they're no dancers of mine.

So, fun story tonight. Went to run Copy Factory with my friend and the run was going FANTASTIC! People waited on others. People followed mechanics. It was a treat and a half! We are on the final boss...

And then...

Tornado alert hits the TV and my phone. Sirens go blaring off. Power is flickering and I quickly get my fiance and I to safety and everything ends without a problem (BEAUTIFUL STORM by the way). Tornado touched down not far from where I live, but no damage was done.

And I probably will never see that clean of a Copy Factory run again.

Sounds like he sucks as dancer lmao

The important thing is that you werent hit. A tornado is not a joke. And remember, in 5.3 and 5.5 the non-savage raiders will need both or all 3 of the upgrade coins to get augment items for tome gear. So there will be experienced people running it somewhat regularly with 1/2 tiers higher gear that isnt under any level sync. More clean runs will come.

I was running Gubal (Normal) a few days ago as a white mage with a friend (Monk). We were with a DRK and a NIN. As a White mage, I've just placed some heal over time and use my flashy AoE on monster. The NIN Start complaining like : You seriously spam that for three poor mobs ?

I mean... 140 x 3 is better than 240 x 1... So yes ? He was complaining all the time for that and start being a jerk... Kicked him right away.

The ninja clearly is pretty ignorant about both Holy and AoE use in general.

i've been leveling my DRK recently for the moogle event,and i had forgotten what fresh hells of noobness are the sub-50 dungeons,queuing any of the moogle-tomestone dungeons,you have a 50/50 chance to run into some Duty finder material, i have ran at least into 10+ people that didnt know the "soul" version of the job was strictly better,so many people at lvl 37-45 without their job stone,the most egregious was a Conjurer who spammed O N L Y stone 2,and would cast cure 1 ONLY when the boss went invincible/out of reach, and people in general not moving out of things,thankfully i have praetorium AFK parade to soothe my trauma now,
