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

I'll plead guilty to this one... but only because I don't trust the other tanks to actually pick them up. Too many shenanigans with the tank adds on the last boss of Copied Factory...

What really gets me...is when I have one of those adds as WAR, facing the corner, and another tank provokes it, so if faces toward the other goliath tank. 9/10 when I tank ANYTHING as WAR, someone decides they need to provoke it off of me and be the person to do the tanking. Even if they just got ressed due to eating a tank buster without any CDs.

If I have to pester healers one more time to perform the obvious function of their job, I will enact a fresh new vendetta against every healer that cannot deliver...

I've legit never encountered this issue while running dungeons and instead just run into healers who default to spamming Cure/Physic I on the tank if nobody actually needs healing.

You... "never".

I find that excruciatingly hard to believe.

I consider it a miracle if a tank picks one up. I've tanked one as BLM, I've had to heal NINs and DRGs tanking it instead of the actual tanks... it's always such a mess.

In an ideal world, B would MT, A would tank the SW add and C would take the NE add... but that never seemed to catch on.

I have not healed dps that took avoidable damage before, they did not take kindly to that.

Sometimes i'll just completely space out and someone will die. But that's less of a tunnel vision issue, and more of an "I'm so bored of this place i could die" issue.

It is good fun.

I have a five strikes rule. You get fix mistakes before I evaluate whether or not healing you actually is worth my time. If the person is new or having a hard time I do my best to keep them alive, but if they are just standing in AOEs without moving at all then I'll do my best to go out of healing range. If they don't care about staying alive then I'm not going to pull my hair out trying to limp them over the finish line.

Physical DPS get Bloodbath and Second Wind, anyway.
