Stuffs

Good job with the de-escalating of friend, when feist is high it can be most difficult to know when breaks are needed.

Can understand through! Especially on the White Mage, we have very limited ogcd healing stuffs and I time out use of them for maximum value. This means allowing party members HP to fall lower especially for bene. Becomes mildly infuriating when the summoner or red mage decides they are the healer now while I sit experiencing demise inside at all the wasted deeps. No no really, please stop.. Am planning living dead into bene and you are not assisting with your verdumb.

Every vercure is lost damage which prolongs the fight. White Mage kinda stinks if too many are taking needless damage and fight is taking too long. Limited MP economy combined with dps negative lilies does not a happy lala make. Square should remove gcd healing spells from deeps classes it promotes bad play.

So I just want to apologize to the group I got matched with in Copied Factory) yesterday, for my more than questionable performance. (I was on BLM)

Long story short, I decided to level BLM as my next job from 80 to 90. However I never touched the job again after getting it go 80 in 5.1 so I am more than rusty wit it.
The plan was simple practice abit on a dummy, then go into alliance roulette (the only roulette I do atm)
While I stand in front of the dummy I do the mistake of signing up to see how long the que will take, says 15minutes so I think to myself that should be ok to get some practice in.
Turns out 15minutes was a lie and it was only like 45 seconds, me misclicking cancel with accept and of course I get a lv80 duty. (Copied Factory)

Sorry I played awful, I really tried. Thank you for not booting me <3

After transferring from Kujata to Oceania, I've noticed a significant decrease in.... how should I say this... people doing the mechanics properly, lol.

Since I main Healers tho, generally it actually makes run more fun than usual. At least I have something to do than just broil or glare, hahaha.

I did a Trial Roulette a couple days ago—got Royal Menagerie. Ah, the memories.

Half the party (not newbies), died to the first Tidal Wave—some things truly do never change—and the newbie (a sprout SAM) did get hit by Shinryu’s tail a lot.

But the real treat was my cohealer.

Level 90 SGE. Mentor. Never put Kardia on anyone—but used Soteria on cooldown. Even when prompted in chat by myself and another person in the group that they were missing Kardia, they never used it. I don’t know if they simply didn’t notice, or if they thought they didn’t need it, or what… but their Soteria usage just floored me when I noticed how they kept using it without Kardia active.

Gotta say, of all the things to get annoyed at while playing healer, I can't say that having a RDM or SMN toss out some quick raises has ever gotten under my skin.

I’d be annoyed when I’ve resorted in hard-casting a raise then one of the caster decided to throw in a quick raise halfway through my spellcast, negating the time spent on that hardcast. Let me do my job where it is necessary gdi, lmao.

…Personal quirk that is, but it wouldn’t be enough to tick me off.

More stuff

Thematically I love how RDM gets Vercure to reflect the references from their other series’ iterations, I wouldn’t want to see it go away. It’s also fairly powerful as a ‘backup’ plan.

I’m more worried to see it go away because life has proven to us, time and time again: they always find ways to be dumber even after you get rid of its lowest denominator. Who knows what’s next dumb play they will invent next!? Oh please God, no, lol.

=================
Aaaanyway, staying on topic: Shisui of Violet Tides via levelling roulette. Rolled as a SGE, paired with DRK, MNK, and MCH.

DRK single pull all the time and single target 95% of time. The only time I see them using AoE for when securing first hit aggro then maybe when a light bulb lights their head up to encourage them to use it.

First pull usual deal, I sprinted without watching the DRK. I already DoT’ed the snakes but only then I realized the DRK was missing. I ran back hoping to pull the mob back to the DRK. MCH understood what was going on and runs back, too. But MNK took a while to register what was going on and soon enough they were already critically low. I rescued them in time to join huddling the DRK. I healed the DPSes to healthy level and they all ended up tanking one or two mobs until the DRK finally press their AoE button.

Second pull, the tank once again just AoE once before single targeting whichever mob… MCH just ran ahead to grab mobs for the rest of us… Déjà vu. DRK doesn’t seem reluctant to grab the enmity off the MCH but only does so with one AoE before going back single targeting everything.

”Healer I’m with you wherever you go.” said MNK after we deal with first boss. Is that their agreement to pull for the DRK? Anyhow, the rest of the dungeon carries on in similar fashion to my Aitiascope story from the other day: we pull the mobs for the tank. Dungeon cleared fairly quicker than generic DF duties.

Weird stuff… weird stuff…

It would be nice if they added a teleport after the bottom boss in Haukke Manor. Had few cases where people didn't know what to do or react to chat in any way, even with translated "return" label. And it's like the only dungeon that is so unusual.

yes this need to happen or they could add like a hole in the floor with cobwebs that stretch up and down from one room to the other, you click to climb(a bit on the creative side lol).

Yeah, that's a very strange thing to get annoyed by. lol I play SMN fairly regularly lately and there's almost always some overlap of raises at some point. Played RDM a lot in the past as well. Not once have I had a healer tell me to stop raising. SMN and RDM are often praised for being able to do so.

Return can also be on cooldown...

Yes, that is also possible there... or everyone teleport without picking the piece
