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

I was tanking hullbreaker isle via a duty roulette and the healer I had was a hot ass mess.

Not gonna sugarcoat it, he was a lvl 70 Scholar wearing a mix of lvl 70, 60, a lvl32 belt and I shit you not a lvl 1 weathered ring. This guy did nothing but spam heals on me even when I was at full health! He even threw adlo on me and spammed healed me while I still had a lot of shield up at full health. I know yoshi p said he wanted healers to focus more on healing in SHB, but this definitely ain't it chief.

Did you ever engage with this person? You might have encountered what I call a bot.

I asked him nicely if he could dps a little and he didn't answer me.

Sounds like a bot to me.

Do bots normally gives comms at the end of a run? Because I received commendations from everyone at the end.

He healed lots but I don't know why
He spammed shield but we know what
We screamed more and more
But we can't stop lazy spams. T.T

I had a tank like that earlier.. he just single pulled and spammed one attack. Sam is lowkey a DPS tank cause all the mobs were on me the whole dungeon. T.T I am a sam dps.. not tank. T.T

Tank pulling the whole mob resort up to the wall (which is fine), not using any cooldowns and standing in poo, so I couldn't even save them with Synastry, ED stacks and oGCDs. Went out of their way to blame me for that death, wanting to kick me from the dungeon for being "bad".
Please use your mitigations peeps, don't make your healers sad (and let 'em dps cuz its quicker!)

So I was in a Shisui of the Violet Tides on my LP alt's AST. Gotta catch the EXP up, cause the MSQ exp spread across 4~5 jobs is not nearly enough to do that. Anywho, party was a GNB, RDM, and MNK. RDM seemed to be doing fine. I wasn't really feeling like it was a slow run. Except, at the first boss I noticed the Monk went afk right as it was pulled without saying anything and just stood there until Greased Lightning fell off. Then they engaged, and basically only did the very basic monk combo. Bootshine > True Strike > Snap Punch. Occasionally they'd put Demolish on. Ok, lazy player, whatever.

Well, after first boss I notice this MNK is basically just stopping every pull, sometimes for the entire duration of the pull. Did the stutter, Greased Lightning loss before second boss too. They were engaged enough to not die or get charmed, but still no Twin Snakes. That's when I also notice, no Fists of Fire. I had to make a mental not to stop giving them melee cards and give melee cards to the tank instead.

We pedal up to the final boss. Our time isn't terrible. RDM was really pulling their weight. We made it to the last boss at the 76 minutes remaining mark. Well, GNB just stops. I wait. Pass all the stuff in the pool. Thinking, "Man, I almost let him die a couple times, hope they're not vote kicking me. I've been vote kicked for stupid reasons at dungeon ends before." So I'm getting an itchy trigger finger. I take a step towards the boss, and the notification for vote kick pops up, "Kick Monky McMonkName?" I voted no, just because that's kind of cold, but I can't honestly say that I disagreed with the vote kick. As shitty of a thing as it is to do, they hadn't helped with any of the trash beyond engaging with the Kraklaw after 2nd boss, and once it was dead they just stood behind, and they only literally reached the final boss arena just as they got vote kicked. So I mean, they were being a lazy prick. Just never seen a lazy Monk before. Usually Monk players are playing it because you have to constantly be doing stuff to maintain GL. I've seen tons of BRDs basically AFK through dungeons, but never a Monk lol.

Within seconds a SAM replacement filed in, and last boss evaporated, of course. I felt bad for the Monk, just a little, but I also felt that it was justified.

[Curisu]

Don't feel bad for the monk, he probably was watching Netflix while playing the game.

If I see someone lazy like that I often ask them to please focus more on the game and not the series they are watching.
And I know that my guess is right when they get aggressive.

My last bunker run from yesterday.
Had a NIN in the party that was clearly having trouble with their internet, constantly apologizing in chat and saying that everybody should just start a vote kick.
Which our SMN agrees as he plead everybody to roll their loot through so that a vote can be processed but it never happens... for some reason.

Long story short—prior to engaging the last boss another group calls us out for not kicking the dced. Well.. it’s not like we agreed to keep the dced player around. Oh well, we just went by and defeat Compound 2P.

Then surprise: that dced player logs back in at super precise timing—right after the last boss is dead and apologizing further.
At that point apparently our tank and the SMN were fed up (honestly me too, but to a lesser extent) and just called out that player for bluffing & whoever that could've possibly assisted on not kicking that NIN by not rolling their loot.
To add in the insult, the NIN also rolled for the last loot and actually won something (I don't remember exactly what loot, but definitely either card, minion or orchestrion).

What a run to end the day...

I did learnt something new from that experience. Apparently having internet problem gives you 100% anti knockback and the power to eliminate stack up marker because that NIN was taking the knockback cannon fire from the first boss like a brick wall & was targeted by the stack up marker but immediately dcs, causing the marker to just vanish to thin air.
