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

Ego main character syndrome. He's the main tank so he thinks he should tank everything. (Or maybe wanted to aoe to pad idk)

I can kind of understand. It's an old fight, no need for two tanks to pick up different groups of adds when one tank can pick up everything easily for the rest of the party to aoe. In higher level fights where you have different groups of adds spawning I've seen the whole party get upset with tanks for not grouping up the adds. Think it was on Hades I saw two tanks try to fight over one of the add spawns and people got really upset(rightful so).

Shouldn't really matter what you do on level 50 content though. ilvl creep is so insane that you can do whatever you want for the majority of it, so if a sprout wants to do something that's not optimal, then let them.

Lighthouse run earlier today,Tank c dies on belias and Yizamat causing two adds to gather on tank B. Tank B my tank on yizamat drags him all the way to the edge of the arena back facing the raid. *facepalm* Ya does not leave much room for his breathe or the aoe's he drops alongside it later. Should be common knowledge too anyone who as done Yizamat enough to tank him in the center of the arena. This also applies to Rofocle in Rab for the love of the almighty dont tank him against the edge of the Arena.

I sure do enjoy wearing a stupid tankini glamour on WAR and pulling everything in sight. Leveling it to 90 so I'm really looking forward to the eye-rolls.

[Padudu]

Thought you guys would appreciate this line lol. Said by a sprout too! (he was joking)

Just had two runs of Orbonne Monastery back to back. First run was beautiful! Phases were skipped, minimal deaths, ezpz.

Aaaand that takes us to the run I just got out of. We had 29 deaths in my party alone. As a healer, I do generally enjoy when things turn a bit more chaotic in alliance raids as they can be so dull, but that was just unpleasant. lol. DO NOT WANT.

[JacobNewblood]

Not one case but a slew of Expert Roulette runs where a Tank single pulls.
As a healer: the mobs hit like wet noodles and had a crit shield for the first pack. By the time it was gone, one mob remained. i got to Slap and Lazor clean the floor at least... right?
As a DPS: cant kabooom all I desire. used all my kaboomy for first single pull, 2nd one is sadness, less kaboomy, ya know?

The amount of Arum Vales I get with new players is amazing, love seeing them try to pull the entire first room. then direct them afterward.

[RobynDaBank]

Haukke Manor. And no, I wasn't adamant on single pulling or something. They just changed the tile set of the dungeon so I wasn't the surest on where to go. By the way the dungeon ended in 10 minutes.

[Izyla]

Spent over an hour in the lvl 81 dungeon of which at least 30 minutes was spent on the last boss. We must have wiped at least 10 times on it. Without fail the healer died to the proximity dmg markers + Blizzard cones every single time. It wasn't their first time either since they were synced down from lvl 86. No one responded when I said hello at the start of the dungeon nor did they respond when I asked if they needed help/knew what to do.

I knew we were gonna be in there for a while since whm was a cure 1 spammer and the BLM didn't seem too good at his job (randomly popping leylines and then not standing inside them, using triple cast at 0 mana etc), but when I get groups like that I usually just shrug and mind my own business, but this was really bad. It was especially frustrating since no one responded or communicated at all.

Just got out of probably the worst run of Lighthouse where, on AST, I had to heal my ass off because the other AST couldn't stop licking the floor and I had to do several back to back hardcast resses because most of the dps couldn't resist the taste either apparently. Only myself, the tank and a reaper had 0 deaths. Surely the party noticed how hard I worked, right?

1 comm. I usually don't worry about comms, but now I'm so mad I'm going back in because I can't accept this. The other AST was helios spamming and carding themselves too... not to mention the hardcasting veraero RDM.

I also spotted a leecher in a different alliance that was in an Orbonne run the other day, they got kicked thankfully. At least a different party had a good ending.

[Rilifane]

Today I was the DF idiot. Twice. Because once is clearly not enough.

This morning I got up really, really early and thought I'd do a expert on SCH to get back into playing healer before pretending to be a sensible and responsible adult.
I blundered every 5 steps and even got myself killed on mechanics I had never had trouble with after eating more stacks than is healthy. I even managed to die on a trash pull. I thought that maybe I'm just not awake yet and I wasn't in a good mindset to begin with, making more mistakes as we went because I couldn't get back into whatever I usually do so I apologized, bowed out and closed FF.

Then during my break I thought I'd give it another go, after all I was supposed to be fully awake now. At least I felt fully awake.
It was even worse than the first attempt. I have no idea what I was doing but every first timer sprout would've done better and the "no worries we don't need a healer" comment did it and I bowed out again. I didn't take it as an offense, they were technically right, they definitely didn't need one. The only one needing healing from one blunder after another was the DF idiot healer.

Needless to say, my confidence skyrocketed.
