Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent. 2.0

Every day I see DNCs allergic to giving Dance Partner to other DNCs... or even, y'know, a DPS at all.

Landed in P1n for my Normal Raid roulette on GNB, with 3 DNCs and one DRG. First DNC partners... the SGE, who was glammed naked (because what else should I expect, I guess). Other DNC partners the DNC who partnered the SGE. Last one partnered the DRG, thank god for that.

I mention to the first DNC that they want to put that on a DPS, not a healer; I assume they and the SGE were friends or a couple or w/e gross excuse people use nowadays for screwing up the bare basics of their class, as the SGE pipes in with "no way! this is my dance partner".

That DNC was bottom of the barrel on aggro and DPS, expectedly.

More and more I think about getting my DNC geared up and melded properly so I can actually play it well and break this curse of sub-par or outright idiotic DNCs that have only grown more numerous since EW dropped - but then I realize, with my rotten luck, I'll just get paired with these "I refuse to DNC partner the other DNC" types. Which'd tilt me even more than if I'm on a non-DPS class.

The best one is when it's an irl couple or friends and one is a Tank and the other DNC and the DNC always gives the Tank the Dance Partner.
I've even seen this in Savage lol.
And they just refuse to give it to anyone else.

I think it's arguably even worse when they do finally put it on someone else, and then their partner throws some kind of fit over it. I've actually seen that happen and it's, uh... well, 'red flag' is an understatement.

Potential couple partners

The worst one imho are the solo dancers—the ones that just refuse to partner for whatever reason.

While I agree they should still give it to the DPS (As a DNC myself I would switch partner mid combat too if I see we have better DPS to partner with), my personal bare minimum expectation is to see those red icons anywhere. Doesn’t matter who gets it lol.

If DNC put dance partner on tank in savage i would consider leaving party outright. I am fine if they do it normal fights but in savage nah.
Then again as MCH main i would probably never see another Pranged in savage fight anyway.

Bismark in trial roulette on gunbreaker.

It went smoothly. Other tank didn't try to steal my snake add, we hit the dragonkillers on time, good DPS, nobody died.

Yes, that's remarkable enough to be worth a post.

Trial Roulette: Seat of Sacrifice

Rolled as a PLD with my friend who's leveling their RPR.
I saw my co-tank is a PLD, they immediately turn their tank stance on despite having about 5k lower max HP than mine. Well fine, go ahead and tank it. Our healer were double ASTs. You'd think this would mean nobody would die to TLD mechanic. Hahahahahahahahahahano.

I am now adding one more to my list of "If I get this in roulette, I will 100% die at least once"-moments: being an off-tank in Seat of Sacrifice.

Ever since late ShB, whenever I rolled in as a tank and off-tanking SoS, I always, always, ALWAYS die, at least once. To that TLD mechanic. Pug healers seem to always forget that their offtank also need a top up. I could've Clemency myself... But I reminded myself again that I'm a spiteful healer main. TLD is almost 100% purely healer's responsibility & being a healer main I've recognized how braindead easy to solve that early even with the meme double SCH compo. I am not going to pick up their slack; I'm going to let myself die to the mech and let people's eyes turns to the healers and be like "Healer? What are you doing as to letting them die??". Yes... this is me and my pettiness... >.>;

Otherwise there's nothing special... aside from the fact that I had to turn off my tank stance several times just to avoid stealing the aggro off my co-PLD. Gosh please co-PLD, use your cooldowns... That's the greatest amount of Interventions that I've used in a single trial run...

Istg I really starting to despise SoS.

You know something is fishy when RPR in your Expert run is the last on aggro list. Then by the end you realise you never saw them using Enshroud. Just. How.

Giving instructions, including where to go in PVP:
Good

Telling people Multiple times not to chase enemies into their spawns so much because they will be invincible:
Gets you insulted

Sorry for also giving orders, just like the person giving waymarks and others saying mid and who to focus, too.
Sorry for wanting to win, i know people dont take pvp serious, but it gives a nice chunk of exp for winning, why not at least give it a bit of a try...
Why is giving waymarks and all fine, but actually SAYING things is being a tryhard, lol

Not like i'm super mad, i will just never understand

Whats the point of fighting invincible people at their spawn

Today in Syrcus Tower, I had someone run away with the gravity circle and die due to eating it solo. I decided to point out in Alliance chat that those are stack markers and should be shared.

Cue someone else insisting that they are not stack markers. And despite my explaining clearly how the mechanic worked, they continued to say as much, even when someone else brought up that it was a stack marker.

Hooray for spreading misinformation.
