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

Because that's my POV, I always go W2W and can't expect healers to aoe if they don't even have them or the chance for a pitiful single target spell.

Why provide it, we're on the same DC. Lets just group up.

What I find funny is that most healers have been there, done that, got the t-shirt in lower level dungeons... not through choice, but still. So throwing that around is just silly.

I'm not the one saying otherwise or being so daft it comes over as disingenuous.

Spineless behavior, my last post I'm out.

Ok. Me as healer you as Tank? It's a date
If i want to whisper you or search your player i have to go to Cerberus, right? One of us could also search for a group but that would run the risk of getting someone else. Are you on right now? If not when do have time? Actually looking forward to this to see what you mean.

I semi-often play with one of the best dungeon speedrunning BLMs on Crystal, and it's opened my eyes as to how actually okay having DPS and healers pull ahead of you when you're doing W2Ws is. DPS have mitigation buttons, in the case of the aforementioned BLM, they have manawall or whatever it's called, and if they pull ahead of me it accomplishes two things:

1) They bring mobs back to me, which can shave time off of a dungeon run. Yay!
2) I take slightly less damage than their mitigation soaked.

I'm honestly just chill with it at this point. I do it myself, even. For example, if I'm doing my expert on Reaper, I can cycle my arcane crest to be used for shaving time off of a dungeon run and bringing mobs to tanks. They get regen, I get to start DPS slightly earlier, and everyone saves time. It's great! I wish more DPS and healers would start pulling ahead of me in dungeons with their movement abilities.

Did.... did you pay for it in lalafell kidneys?

So I finally decided to just go ahead and pick up reaper and be done with it so I can say I'm 90 everything. So I'm doing one of my roulettes and doing one of the post ARR 50 dungeons. We start off and the tank is wall to wall pulling which is good. I'm DoTing and AOEing everything as we move anyway...then I noticed the tank was dead and I have aggro. OK so the healer will keep me alive right? Nope. Nearly dead so I pop on bloodbath and Arms Length. I even use Second Wind when I got low. Now EVERYONE is dead but me...and then I die. How'd you all die when I have all the aggro? Guess they ate AoEs...

Well I figure hey things can happen...k/m or controller disconnect can happen. We all revive and start again. Wall to wall yet again and I do exactly the same. Yet I have aggro AGAIN...but tank is alive and with stance. He is single targeting. Tank dies, I die, healer and other DPS die. We haven't even cleared the first set of mobs. They start running for round 3...but I've had enough.

"Yeah I don't need this dungeon. Good Luck. I'll just eat the penalty"

I quit the group. Good stuff.

Just ran a Syrcus Tower.

Just before the long cast on Amon finish, the white mage was thinking that it would be a good idea to pull me (Reaper) back behind the ice block that was literally in my range of dash, instead of pulling the DRK who was a new player in this instance.

Trying to say that it wasn't a good idea to save me instead of the tank and that if I died it was my responsibility. Got immediatly flammed because people can't admit that they are wrong instead of right and try starting a fight by pulling me out of Xande range.

Some people really behave like kid.

Wait, Did I miss something about reaper ? Didn't know you could DoT at all ! (Joking, you probably refer to the 10% Damage debuff for the reaper)

[JRat]

ARR dungeon roulette - you get all types
I don't mind tanks that pull a lot but dangit, pay attention to the group. Don't just assume everyone is a level 90 in this LVL 50 dungeon.. some are just barely geared for this encounter.

I could be wrong. I'm really new to it but got the gist of it to trigger my positionals. I thought the one single/aoe ability we use that lets us gain additional bar on death was also a dot. Then again who reads tool tips? Not me...I'm a mentor!
