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

I am so sorry.

I am so sorry.

And that is why you have your camera set so you can view the other alliances and their murderous ways.

My static had a not-great night in P3S last week. So after we'd finished up for the evening, I went "I need a cleanser after that; I'll get in a roulette or two." Queue into normal raid like 5-10 minutes after we've finished.

Duty pops. Screen goes black, and fades in... and I find myself in P3N.

*quiet screaming*

You have the worst luck.
The only thing I hate more than Birb Savage is Birb normal. When I gave freshly 90 GNB a spin in some normal raids, I got P3N and had a WAR that immediately put on stance and I was like "OT time! Perfect, I'll throw my mitigation on the MT and watch out for repositionings"
MT pokeballs not even 15s into the fights and I was left to solo tank the cursed chicken, including the add phase and running a marathon around the platform to make sure their corpses don't overlap. Fun times.

And on the topic of normal raids...
I love roping unassuming DF folks that only want to do a "quick normal raid roulette" into Eden raids because I only have Eden and Asphodeles unlocked on my alt. I got e7 and it starts with
"oh shit no, not this one"
"apologies in advance to the healers"
"fml I suck at this one"
13 Resses from my Sage and 10min later (plus 4 resses from my co heal) and we cleared it. More than half the raid got nuked when they stacked the stack marks. When I saw the other marker running towards us, I stacked all my mitigation and shields because I knew what was coming and survived with low 3 digits, chain ressed everyone and couldn't help but grin when colors came up and I knew someone was getting yeeted.
And someone ported off the platform, also a classic.

Awe old thread gone? Well first post of EW just did a Zod normal and well it just kinda speaks for itself, dude had a crafter ring, 430 left side, lvl 18 bracers, lvl 5 ring, lvl 50 (ilvl 70) neck. I just can't sometimes.

Someone once posted in a place I cannot name that a mch came in there wearing lvl 43 gear for the most part. Another had a mnk step in that same trial with ironworks gear.

I am just surprised he's not a Tank lol.

Bad

Had someone playing sage that told me 'sages can't do full pulls in the The Dead Ends'.

They couldn't even handle healing during the first boss and left on their own, even when trying to give them tips about using Esuna when they kept getting hit by the Necrosis debuff.

I've done sage there and I've never had an issue healing full pulls. They also were sync'd down from their ilvl...



Glad

Had a full group of 7 people 'pick on me' for always being in a chocobo suit by calling me KFC and they kept offering me chocobo food. That was a fun run, kweh~

Be me, queuing as NIN for a Mhach raid. Pop into Dun Scaith.

Deathgaze goes about as expected - lots of deaths, but no wipe. Same for Ferdiad.

Then we move on and wipe to, of all things, Proto Ultima. A bunch of people died (I have no idea what killed them) and we failed the DPS check. That was the first time I've ever seen that happen.

Later we also wiped to Diabolos Hollow, but it's mostly the Proto fight that stands out in my mind.

I am just surprised he's not a Tank lol.

Anything that even remotely sneezed on him he died, felt bad for my friend who was SCH and just came back he was panicking watching him die so much, felt so bad lol.

[Frizze]

Wait, its possible to wipe to proto? Like, WIPE wipe? All 24 people dead? Even though the fight gives each party 2 LB3s? I dont remember wiping to that slot(proto or the old removed mini) even when it was brand new. Every other boss? Sure, at least once. But never that.
