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

[ThivraK]

man, the tank I had in babil just now was... I don't even know
not that he didn't seem to mitigate till he was at 50% health, he also used nascent on other players? even full health me??? and lost aggro to my friend???? and then somehow started eating so much damage I had to gcd heal him as every single ogcd was depleted... during the pull before the first boss
I'm so confused

[AnotherPerson]

I farmed World of Darkness for 3 days to get a chestpiece for glam.
Then I went into my glamour dresser and realized I had a better outfit for my glam.

3 days wasted...

[einschwartz]

When I do this I do it for various reasons. One of them is to just be silly. Other times to make you less lonely. Also depending on the BLM it's the only bloody way they're going to get healed cause them ley lines are out in Narnia compared to the rest of the group.

Aw that's thoughtful (on wanting to make blm less lonely).

Though I was always in mid ranged because I have a healer mindset more than anything else.
There was one time I pop Ley Lines in melee due to expecting a mechanic and the healer still actively runs into it.

[Rilifane]

Now I'm worried that I might've used up all my luck elsewhere in the future...

"In the future" usually means you'll have the worst DF luck for the next few days.
Speaking from experience.

And speaking of used up DF luck.
Babil run, started with the healer being not amused with the tank because they didn't mitigate, constantly ran out of Doton and Sacred Soil, ran around with all mobs at the oddest time, splitting the pulls and making aoes miss half of the mobs and eating aoes, making the healer really work for it. The healer spoke up about mitigation and running out of ground targets and the tank just replied with "do it yourself".
The other NIN... breathed, I guess? They single targeted in wall to walls, stood around auto attacking and got out-dpsed by our healer who had to GCD spam just to keep the tank alive and barely had time to dps.
I offered to go 2nd with TA for bosses, didn't see a single TA though so I just asked if they don't use it at all so I know when to use mine
"no, i'm busy reading the funny party chat :3"
So I asked that if they could please use their aoes while reading.
"maybe... if I feel like it"
Apparently they did not feel like it because it was clear from their dps that they still used their single target skills while being semi-afk.
What. The. Actual. Fork.

Another tank chain pulled while also not mitigating and our healer constantly ran low on MP because they couldn't get out of combat and I didn't get to reset my Mudra, so I asked "can you let us finish a pull before pulling the next set, please? so the healer can get mp back and I can reset my Mudra out of combat"
The reply?
"lol stop crying you're just a dps"

Did e6 for my sticker album, co heal didn't dps at all and constantly spammed aoe heals until they didn't even had enough MP to ress, so I took the resses and hard-ressed several times. They died to a mechanic right after my Swift ress went out for someone else, I waited for the whole conflag movement to be over so I could hard ress in peace.
"healer???" - "how about you actually RESS???" - "stop dpsing and ress-.-" was what I got from them.

Then I went Babil on SCH.
Tank died on the big pull before the boss from, again, not mitigating and wrote "single pulls, I guess ... -.-".

I don't know what was up with DF today but one group was worse than the next.
I'm so done with DF. It was the first time in many, many months that I was so annoyed that I actually ALT + F4'd a dungeon because I was done with this crap and had to cool down before I say something that gets me banned. May someone else enjoy those crappy attitudes, I need a mountain of purring cats or something.

Horrendous DF runs

[Fyrebrand]

So I'm running Keeper of the Lake, and during the second boss, the tank is just not even paying attention or doing their job. They are standing in the fire and not bothering to even make it look like they want to get out of it. They are not picking up ANY adds that spawn. I managed to keep everybody alive and we made it through, but I mean... why??? Later on, the tank says something like "sorry, I was just focusing on boss." I forget what the exact phrasing was, but it felt like a weird non-apology -- just a description of what they CHOSE to do, and how they're telling me what happened. I just rolled my eyes and thought YEAH, I KNOW, I WAS THERE. Of course I didn't actually give them any flak for it, they seemed like maybe they could be new at tanking or just struggling with the fight. Anyhow, that was... a time.

Now I'm worried that I might've used up all my luck elsewhere in the future...

Anyone who plays D&D knows that's exactly how that works. You roll a Natural 20 on a stupid ability check that doesn't matter, that's a Nat 20 you can never get back.

So I learned something new today in Dun Scaith.
If someone has the stack marker and people group up but you're too far away, and somehow the person that has the stack marker dies, the next target is chosen from the available list, typically if you're too far from the rest of the group.

Huh, that's weird. I also learned something new today in Dun Scaith: people still think the stack marker means "Take this thing as far away from everybody else as possible!"

I farmed World of Darkness for 3 days to get a chestpiece for glam.
Then I went into my glamour dresser and realized I had a better outfit for my glam.

I know that feel. I have been waiting so long to get the Cait Sith Neck Ribbon for my miqo'te character, and just recently I finally got it... only to realize my new hairstyle basically hides the little kitty figurine. Also, like five minutes after getting it I found out about the Namazu Bell and felt like "Oh, well now I kinda want that instead..."

Had a Praetorium where the rest of the party got into a "debate" over pineapple on pizza.

I, in turn, shared the cursed knowledge that McDonald's used to serve pizza.

Pretty sure I did more damage than anything else in the whole dungeon.

Excuse me, what?! Then again, they've begun serving this abomination in my country... feel free to Google what butter chicken and butter paneer are.

It is. I didn't even have the stack marker and was on sage, saw the stack marker on someone else while everyone huddled around them, that person suddenly disappeared, Diabolos took one look at me and tossed the ball my way.

[TheMightyMollusk]

Excuse me, what?!
