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

Just did Leveling out of frustration as since 3 days no roulett threw me into any of the new stuff... got Holminster and right during the first pull work called so i died once - though i got the mobs back in time. But pull after pull it just felt off... during the boss i realized the BLM was using leylines, but no fire 4 and only rarely thunder4 or flares etc... we took 33 mins >_>

Based on the past few pages, I have added a new tag to the thread.

My glamours rarely get comments despite the fact that I spend dozens of hours putting them together(many a weekend has entirely slipped by while I sifted through countless menus to find the perfect shoe or earring). Then I quickly crafted the new Exarchic set for my MNK yesterday and slapped it on without applying any glamours. While I was melding the materia to it in Eulmore someone sent me a tell saying they loved my glamour....even though I wasn't wearing any glamours. Saaaaad panda.

I too had been complimented on my glamour during a raid (forget which one) but it made me feel pretty nice. UwU

Possibly one of those BLM that either completely ignores Enochian, or only buffs it on bosses and doesn't seem to realize that you can keep it up by maintaining Fire/ice so when it runs out it's 'ah well' I'm pretty sure by that stage you have access to Foul too, and if they don't keep Enochian up.. they probably aren't getting Foul procs either q_q

Another day, another tanking roulette that turns into a mad dash to stay alive as I abuse the clemency button while the healer casts Cure 3 in the far corner.

Really fun one today... Tam Tara hard, everyone seemed experienced, no one new to dungeon but none of us had been there in a while. Everyone was chatty and we wiped three times to the first boss before we decided just to nuke it.

Very fun dungeon and great that everyone stayed and no one got mad. Honestly it’s trickier than some current stuff :-/

This is from yesterday's run. Duty roulette: Leveling, matched with GNB, BLM and MNK, playing as a SCH.

Bardam's Mettle (should be fun? spoiler: nope)
Gone pretty wrong for some reason. I was feeling less focused than I normally do. We wiped hard several times on first two big pulls. Tank's HP hemorrhaging like crazy, I couldn't keep up with the damage. (which I rarely had the problem, usually).
Right after resurrecting from first wipe, the tank didn't even wait for the rest of party to recuperate and just straight up charge ahead with sprint on. Again, wiped miserably without killing any mobs.

I examined the tank's gears. Weapon, Head, Body & Legs are the GNB's starter gears (i255), left ring is an Eikon Ring (i220), then pretty sure rest are Shisui stuffs (i270). I'm pretty sure I've healed a worse tank in the past in Bardam with less trouble as a SCH. I just don't know why.. this tank's bleeding so hard. Probably eating AoEs? Or not using cooldown? Although I'm pretty sure I saw 'Nebula', 'Aurora', and 'Camoflauge' few times. I saw those stream of 2k-4k dmg per hit as I struggle to keep up with the incoming damage. Then again, I wasn't focused enough to pay attention what bleeds his 33.6k HP in less than 5-7s.

To those three players (yes, even the GNB), I'm very sorry. I bailed out. I really didn't had enough patience yesterday specifically to deal with that. I happily ate the 30m penalty then went afk to tend my puppies who'd been whining since the duty roulette pops.

Maybe they're not healing you cuz you're too quick on Clemency. Just saying.

If they’re casting cure 3 in the far corner I don’t think this is the case for this particular run...

But you did trigger me because I’ve been running Relict for glam and got a tank last night who would not stop hitting clemency like it was a part of his rotation. It’s like....I’m a WHM. Let me do my job, you are at 80% health you will be fine I promise.
