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

I was broiled to death. I know healers are always complaining about doing more dps but you might wanna focus on healing for a change because roles.

[Ilenya]

Just wiped in Pagl'than because the (new?) Dragoon did not know what to do with the lightning puddle in the first boss. He stood around under the boss with it for a while before deciding at the last second to ELUSIVE JUMP--promptly dropping the lightning puddle on me (the healer) and the other DPS, giving us enough vulnerability stacks to die to the next unavoidable Electric Burst.

How many stacks did you have, because I've managed to heal a monk with 8 stacks before. XD

and what was the rest of the group doing? because..you know..groups

[KageTokage]

I'm kind of bothered by how regularly healers would prefer to just let the current MT in alliance raids or larger scale content like Eureka or Bozja die even if it's clear their own party's healer is having trouble keeping up (Assuming they're alive at all).

I can only sustain myself so much with Nascent Flash and potion spam in the latter.

[SturmChurro]

I was just doing a raid* like any other, then I glance at chat at the end. Apparently, me spamming glare hit a nerve:



I did actually die once during the run because I stood in something a millisecond too long, while trying to get a glare off.

Typically stems from people being oblivious to how a role works and assume heals are only "cast time heals."

Yeah, nevermind that solace and rapture are instant or anything. Assize too.

The amount of times I've had people get downright vitriolic towards me because they think I'm "not healing" is honestly tiring. I rarely have to cast a GCD heal-- and if my cohealer is jumping on every little papercut people get, I'm going keep doing DPS until it's necessary to utilize my stored oGCDs.

But y'know, the AST spamming non-Aspected group heals when only one person took damage is obviously doing their job better than I, using my Lilies to keep people from dying when most of their health is gone and said AST is out in Narnia continuing to spam Helios.

White mages are white because we're built of salt.

Glare 24/7

Damn you’re popular. Most of time I could only catch these conversations whenever I’m partied with a friend who stayed around longer when the duty finishes (I usually bolt out real quick). After which they usually told & sent me the screenshot.

/facepalm

Don’t forget regen 100% uptime too

I think the most hilarious part is these players were apparently mad about me the whole run, and I didn't even notice anything until the very end when I glanced at people bickering about glare spam when we were rolling on loot.

Like, all I'm saying is, how is it my fault when they are getting hit by every mechanic imaginable?

Ugh.. I don't even use regen.

A friend and I lost a bunch of mettle in Zadnor. We died due to a bunch of people abandoning a FATE partway through leaving me, as a DRK, with all the aggro. Despite our polite requests for someone to revive us, nobody bothered to do so - including a RDM and WHM who wandered nearby but decided not to bother helping out.

Luckily it's pretty easy to regain lost mettle, though it was still annoying.
