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

Man, I hate it when I start talking like some sort of tutorial NPC and still get ignored.

Remember to use Holy on mobs to stun them! Debuffs with a white line over them can be cleared with Esuna! Instead of applying Regen individually to each person, try Medica II!

Followed by them using Cure I and Regen exclusively the entire dungeon. I'd say I don't know why I bother, but I do. Many people listen. But imagine ignoring most of the buttons you're given in favour of a very boring way to play the game. (I'd say also ignoring job quests, but you gotta have Esuna, at the very least.)

On a lighter note, I reminded someone else to use Holy and they said something like "Roger o7" and started using it, it was cute.

I just read your post in the Reddittales on yourtube voice lol. Try it. And play the background music they use. - Watching the clouds- By Lakey Inspired

Another little annoyance is probably someone taking an advice in the worst way possible.
A tank asked the healer to not use Medica/Medica 2 while doing the big mob pull then later healer proceed to never touch those during boss fight and decided to cast cure 2 for each party member getting us almost killed. I ended up explaining after the boss fight that the tip was meant for mob pulling. And this was in Qitana Ravel.

Still most of people listen to advice and take it well so it is nice.
A fun experience was a gunbreaker in the lv77 dungeon telling me he was going to superbolide in the pull before the 2nd boss fight so it was nice coordinating invuln, benediction and then holy. PLD and GNB have great invuln but can be annoying to use them at full effect with a white mage because it wastes those with stun spam

expert roulette feels like sastasha. it went full circle. recently i did matoyas on schoolar... my fairie healed everything (and the fairies skills).

yesterday i did expert as a blm.... matoyas.
now i dont have a lot of experience as blm and my gear isnt that great. we had a samurai with good gear. dont remember what healer we got, but he wasnt bad either. drk tank was a new player, very slow did some mistake, pulls only single packs.
it was a terrible run. the enemies died fast.... too fast. i couldnt do once a full rotation on trash. the skillflow was terrible. not fun... not. at. all.
reminded me of sastasha too where you cant finush your casts because the adds die too fast.

I'm not sure if people who have never played summoner understand this or not, but our summons have time limits when it's Bahamut and Phoenix.

If you are going to pull everything to the end 'room' before the next area, please give a warning or say so the start of the dungeon.
Otherwise, we summon one of the two, and then you start pulling, and we have to run to catchup, wasting the summon.

This has happened more than once, but todays was the most annoying. As when I spoke up to ask about it after it happened, they vote kicked me.

[KageTokage]

It's a pet peeve in general for me when tanks do big pulls but can't seem to decide when it enough is enough and pause long enough to make everyone think it's okay to drop their ground AoEs and pop cooldowns then resume running a moment later.

I can only hope that whatever interaction Hakke Mujinsatsu seems to has with Doton only requires it to be active and not for you actually be standing in it otherwise NIN AoE will get gimped even more by tanks who don't know how to position things properly.

Wait, sorry, I'm confused. Why would they need to give a warning to pull big? Are they seemingly stopping at one point for several seconds only to continue pulling?

TIL. I've been going off memory for years.

What do you get when you combine a NIN who only uses Doton/Hyoton as their only mudras and never uses TA/melee aoes, a non-melee RDM, and a shire-wearing SCH that only uses Adlo, Lustrate, Excog and Physick on you, the DRK that wants to mass pull in Doma Castle?

A walking 30-min disaster.

Yes. They stop, fight a a few seconds, then continue pulling it further instead of just starting the pull to begin with, so then I summoned thinking we were fighting there. I asked them to give warning next time and got kicked.

Basically what the guy after my post said as well.

I've stopped as a tank and likely annoyed someone, but only because I'm tagging something that's likely eating at the healer pretty rough before I continue. It's hard to communicate this without wiping though, so it just looks like I'm a bit indecisive to DPS (who likely aren't paying attention to aggro so long as it's not on them, which isn't a bad thing.)

It's not indecisiveness, it's needing to really quickly nab aggro from something before continuing. If you notice that we stop and seem to target something specifically before continuing, that's likely why.
