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

To be fair, this dungeon is one of the few that I actually wished for a mediocre tank who may forget their cooldowns from time to time thanks to just how little healing the dungeon need. Especially if it’s a decent WAR player—heck, they don’t even need me, the healer! Sometimes doing it as a WAR myself I’d purposely let my health dip below 30% just so I can feel so good to heal myself up to max with Nascent Flash, it’s just that good.

I suppose the only upside of that PLD just refusing to use 90% of their defensive kit was I got off more Misery hits than I normally would there, since I was having to use more lilies than I should've been.

Still would prefer tanks at least trying to not make the healer's job harder, though. I would have taken a good WAR who I barely had to heal, even from low health. Those are my favs. ; v;

This might actually have been my pld. I’ve been off of it for months and I’m too smoothbrain right now to do its rotation without thinking about it (123444 566667 too hard).

I swore I was using my cooldowns, but apparently they weren’t coming when you expected them.

I do giggle a little every time I get bene through HG though.

Nahh, unless you were on an alt it wasn't you. :P And it wasn't so much them not doing a proper damage rotation, as just... apparently only Shelltron existed for defensive CDs? Lmao

Had a dnc in a run of Paglth'an. I noticed the dnc single targeting all large pack pulls and they kept single targeting all large pack pulls. I normally don't say anything as to not hurt someone's feelings and get a ban, but I finally asked them... Are you just not using aoes?

Apparently they had no idea that you could aoe if it an aoe was not procced so instead of using aoes at all, they just single targeted everything and had taken the aoes off their hotbar, including the fan dances. I...I mean...I just...What??? How do you get to level 80, even on a job that starts at lvl 60, and just not know you can aoe in a game in which all jobs have aoes because aoes are so important in nearly everything. Wouldn't you stop and ask yourself, "this is odd, why can't I aoe on this job when they give me this many aoes?" and then at least give your tool tips a cursory glance. Or better yet, push...the...button and see if it works. There are aoes that need procs to work but why are you just throwing your hands in the air and taking full skill rotations off your hotbar without even bothering to read the tooltip first? Even your base aoe is better than single targeting a pack of over 10 mobs. I...I mean...I just...What???

I can understand dncs not knowing they can and should closed position another dnc if they are the only 2 dps in a party (which only 1 out of every 1k dncs understand), but this...this was a whole new level of "what....?"

For the love of all that is good, Read...Your...Tooltips!

Frontline Roulette, trying to farm for my Coat.
Unexpectedly getting BSOD (NOW?! Of all times?! D:<). Oh well... I don't mind. It was a losing battle with roughly 10 minutes left. My team's score was about 450 pts lower than the 2nd place.

Roughly 8 minutes later I log in back....to see the battle report saying that my team's winning.. o.O!
It even count to my achievement! Y'know what, I'll take it!

Are you getting frequent BSODs or was it just a one off thing?

If they’re frequent or even happening more than once you might wanna check on your hard drive - it might be failing you and if so I recommend getting a new one proactively before your entire computer dies on you lol. That happened to me and a lot of important documents are gone forever lol.

It’s definitely not frequent. I do want to get it checked out sometime soon, preferably by the end of this month because I have noticed some random increase in FPS lag since the last time I update my windows.

That FPS lag cost me some mettle loss in other day at CLL cause I can’t follow Dawon’s Obey donut AoE fast enough—even with sprint. I wonder how slow my character run under that short 7 FPS window lmao.

Why are there so many veteran or players with many level 80 jobs leveled up being rude or trolling in Duty Finder lately?

I have invited many family and friends into the big world of Eorzea and well ummm. Hmm. How to place this. They have not been having the best of times, more close to the worst of times. It is making many not wish to play as much and this is sadness inducing. I just finished helping one of them level paladin in Haukke Manor where I became soooo fricken feisty I rescued the dps into the boss. They were standing in the center of the room spinning spinning away doing nothing and auto attacking during pulls. This person had multiple jobs level 80. No disembowel no life surge no lance charge. I almost ran out of mana in Haukke Manor of all the places. The pulls took sooooo long I was able to use essential dignity three times!

No, I was not cure botting either if there is curiosity. I had one percent overheal for the entire duration of the dungeon. It was getting so bad I had to resort to Benific 1 or the mana would be gone. Yes, I did almost do more deeps then the dragoon even while pumping the tank so full of Benific 2 and Essential Dignity they will be feeling those heals for months. Ohhhh right! After rescuing the dragoon and our tank asking if they were alright or lagging we got one response. "Yes." Buuuuuut suddenly, disembowel! Ohh there it is, lance charge and even life surge! That lag magically vanished the moment someone said something, I suppose. Most curious..

Just kick and don't bother yourself with them.

I'm [1], obviously, but I just want to reiterate what I said in that image that if you have a tip/advice, just say it (in a good way, of course, not forceful). In this case, the tip seems to be received positively, but even if not, like I said in that image, just say it anyway for other people's benefit.
