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

Snowcloak, friend and I are doing this together in DF.
Tank did not do the Yeti mechanic with the snowballs despite my friend informing him of this mechanic. The tank even confirmed reading this with an "Okay!" and still didn't do anything.
I even tried moving the spriggans myself into the way of the boss but the tank is neatly scrunched against the wall, so I can't run past them to do this.
This took way too long and was a fat waste of time.

the other day, I was leveling up on my dancer. I got the level 71 dungeon and just dancing the light away. The last boss, apparently my damage was so much that I stole the aggro from the tank and was being chased for over a minute.

I had to stop attacking just so the tank could grab the hate again. I have no idea what happened for that never happened in the whole dungeon.

Unless that tank was legit AFK, d/cing, shirked you or they turned their stance off, there is almost no way for them to lose enmity to a dps.

I wish people would stop holding the chains on Cerberus until they expire because they want that tiny bit of extra damage. This is not some bleeding-edge Savage content where we need every second of spare DPS to make the enrage timer. It's World of Darkness. He's more than halfway dead already. He'll die seconds into the second unchained phase. Just chain him back up so we can get on with it. Don't hold the chains and let him get up and start buffing up and one-shotting everyone. It's just wasting time.

This sooooo much. I don’t know why people have started doing this again. This isn’t ARR. We won’t even come close to seeing this mechanic a second time. He doesn’t even cough up the second Slabber puddles anymore. Just attach the stupid chains. I’ve almost made it a point to hover by them so that I can do one of the chains when I get WoD in the roulette. I don’t trust the other people in the alliance to not try the ridiculous hold strat. Like it actually matters 8 years later…

So many times people holding the chains leads to him getting his 16 stacks of damage up, and then we have to reset. The last time I was in WoD, I noticed someone standing there with the chain waiting; and I knew it was going to reset—in case people don’t realize, you cannot hold the chains for forever, they do eventually reset back to the mechanisms. I waited by the mechanism just knowing they weren’t going to attach it in time, grabbed it the second it disappeared from them, and ran back as fast as the game lets you while transporting to try and chain him before Reawakening finished casting. I just barely made it back in time to prevent a wipe.

I know which bothers me and I've no idea what even happened!

That reminds me, the other day in WoD we had an unusually competent group... but still wiped to Cerb because of chains.

But even worse, for me, is that he put his slobber right on top of the gastric orb's puddle, which is where I was standing, and it sucked me in and Cerb killed me before the orb went off. There was only a very small portion that wasn't overlapped, I'd never seen it that bad before. Luckily one of the other alliances had healers that were bored of older content (I noticed them healing other people the whole instance) and one rezzed me and kept me alive and safe before I got vored finally.

Think the reason is that it's still refer in a lot of online guides. Also could be because some people has done it so often that it's just burn in their routine.

Will admit that i will do that sometimes when people are dying right and left or the dps is extremely low but when everything is going smoothly the chain goes straight on the dog

Hello darkness my old friend.
Brayflox Longstop normal for context, tank used no noticeable cooldowns to lessen their squish. I ate the 30.

Well, in principle they should have actually gotten something to put on but right side doesn't matter all that much at that level so they shouldn't have been too sqi-- wait that's the level 20 free company gear
