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

No he wanted me to just let kardia do all the healing not use diagnosis at all obvious Im gonna have kardia slapped on the tank that how sage works the dps wanted me to just deal damage only for my heals.

If he suggested only using Kardia and nothing else, not even oGCDs, he was wrong.
Regardless of what he suggested though, you just implied that you rely on Diagnosis and that's the weakest of all your heals while also costing a GCD. The goal is generally to heal with your Abilities/ oGCDs first and only when that is definitely not enough you start using GCD heals. Kardia is effectively a free permanent regen as long as you keep dpsing so the less you drop dps for GCD healing, the better. Applies to all healers of course but SGE also loses Kardia heals when GCD healing.
So Haima/ Panhaima, Physis, Kera, Tauro, Druo etc. are your priority for healing.
Diagnosis is... really weak. Even sub 30, Kardia heals and Physis cover a large portion of the required healing.

This is a self-shame/self-rant. See, I haven't really played PLD since ShB (until today), save for the numerous PotD runs I've been doing with friends and my serious attempts at getting those last floors on a solo run. This is worth noting, because PotD syncs you to level 60, and Requiescat is at level 68.

(Cue ominous background music.)

Anyway, PLD and DRK are the only jobs I have left to get to 90 now, so I took PLD into trial roulette today. I got Diamond Weapon normal.

As you might guess from the first paragraph of this post, I was 2/3 of the way through the trial before I remembered "WAIT I'M NOT LEVEL 60 IN HERE, AND PALADIN HAS A MAGIC ROTATION AT LEVEL 80."

*sigh*

I had a similar experience back in stormblood after getting level 50 or below duties with my blm I decided to do normal raid roulette and got pepsi man. I never used Fire 4 and anything above 50 for 75% of the fight because I thought it was a 50 dungeon.

Oof. Black mage is also the worst possible job for "wait, which level am I synched to again?" Some jobs change up their core rotation every 10 levels or so; black mage seems to do so every 5-7 levels.

(I admittedly exaggerate for comedic effect here... but it's not that much of an exaggeration, either.)

It wasn't a bad experience, but I remember last year when I was still a Lalafell, and the mentor in our party patted me on the head before the final boss in Toto-Rak. I know it is an understandably patronizing emote for a lot of Lala players, but it made me feel so happy...I miss head pats.

BLM always has a 2nd rouletted tacked onto the DF one: rotation roulette.
I personally always found it quite refreshing and gives me something to pay attention to during roulettes but I know a lot of people who hated it to the point of dropping BLM. One day they'll learn just how much they missed out ...

I hadn't played PLD in so long, and even before it was my least played tank, that when I started getting queued up into the later Endwalker dungeon(s), I didn't realize the change in rotation. So my DPS was definitely lower than it should have been.

Are big pulls common in Aurum Vale? Been speeding it for the tomes, so I've run it a lot, I know what to pull and where to pull it to, and what can be skipped. Have never had a problem until recently had a wipe and then another half wipe with a healer and dps dead and the whole group was bitching about the size of the pulls and how hard it was to heal. The healer went oom on the first boss and then the whining started. I've never had other healers complain about it being too hard on them, but the fact the whole group was whining and bitching makes me wonder now. I would ask at the start of the dungeon, but like I said 99% of the time doesn't seem like anyone is struggling.
