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

Tbh, I would have left after the first ten floors or even right after seeing them not being at least 70+ upgrades. I could find something useful to do during the 30min timeout.

And then I would put them on my BL.
Simply because they lied in the PF, wanted to use me as easy carry and would have wasted my time.

Got to witness at least 5 people getting eaten in p5N healers included, it was absolutely hilarious but bless the summoner that avoided it and saved the run

I had an...interesting experience as I was pulling my White Mage through Stormblood's dungeons. Nothing on the tank that did this because I'm pretty sure this was one of those anomalies that proves what two players in the same instance see are not perfectly synchronous (due to the server not being able to keep up so most people see each as other as much as 1 or 2 seconds behind each other)

Anywho, we're on the second half of the first pull. (following the colossus that leads to that gunship before the first boss. Tank's doing great and we're both in sprint and keep up. We corral and aoe everything. It takes longer than usual so I find most of my resources are going out, lilies, tetra, and divine benison still needs another 10 seconds. I think I used two Cure IIs too. the gunship and two other mobs are left and the DRK tank is nearly dead and my finger is hovering above my bene. He has less than 1k hp left so I fire the benny because he never used living dead....he still doesn't so I stop to catch my breath a bit....

Then I see the living dead icon more than 2 seconds after I had reset his HP bar. I kind of laughed at the whole thing. I didn't talk about it or mention it to him. it was just a funny but awkward experience.

Perhaps after he was nearly dead, he was scrambling for his LD icon and after he clicked it, he never realized I bened him. Who knows. xD

Anywho, that was the highlight of last night for me. I got my healers to 70 now and it was a fun trip. Healing's much more intense than I expected (and my healxiety is cured. Healing's not exactly my first choice for a role but I'm not stranger to it anymore.) and tales of the Bardem Mettle pulls are no joke at all, even as White Mage. I'm ready to farm Orbonne for the mystic set. I wanna glam my White Mage in it. (and also do everyone in alliance roulette a few favors. :P)

This has probably been done before, but I just got done popping sprint on someone in Dead Ends, so I had to make my own.

Luckily I'm using either a tank or healer on that one. As the healer I'll rescue them to me last second but as a tank I'm like "alright...I can take that hit...can you?"

But I do have another funny story from last night. The group was actually great. The followed instructions to the letter. The fault was with me only giving partial instructions. You'll see what I mean.

So I forget the dungeon name but it's the one where you fight The Kraken on the four islands. We are doing the run and things are smooth. People were unfamilar/1st timers so I told them I remembered this one and will give heads up on bosses. We get to the first boss and I tell them "Hey at one point he starts to roar which does a bit of damage that increases with each one. To get him to stop knock on the trees to knock down some bananas and he chills out a bit." That was my mistake...I didn't say how many. So he starts to roar and EVERYONE knocks down a banana but me cause I then saw how this was going and then they went to the other trees to get those too.

Yup...It was like it happened in slow motion but I was too slow to stop them. The Gorilla ate EVERYTHING. Good thing I was the healer and knew what was going to happen next. So now this beefed up Gorilla is just shaving 50% of the tanks health per punch so I'm Cure 2 and regen spamming and then he starts roaring again but no bananas shave respawned to get him to stop for a moment so I start Medica 2 followed by swiftcasting Medica 1 and keep alternating between those cause he is AoEing us super hard. Luckily the DPS puts him down and at the best time cause even with Lucid Dreaming on CD I was nearing out of MP. The rest of the run went smooth though. I laughed and told them I forgot to mention only ONE banana at a time cause he gets a damage boost.

Had my first field trip dungeon run as a lalafell. It was me and two other Lalafell and a female Roegyden tank. One Lalafell only spoke Japanese, while the other liked using the Toast emote with me. Twas a really fun experience. Especially since I ran into them twice, with both times having a female Roegyden tank. xD

For some reason I've been thrown in Babil for leveling roulette for the past 3 days. Not that I'm complaining since it's a decent dungeon to tank...I'm just hoping it doesn't go like Cutter's Cry for me(had it for a few weeks straight when leveling WAR a few years ago).

On one run I ended up having to use Living Dead on two separate pulls(just before first boss and just before last boss). No deaths, but slight lag and a distraction ended up with me getting a bit closer than I'm sure the healer wanted me to get.

Hullbreaker (normal). I barely get that, so I always forget things. I don't think I ever properly learned that.

Same over here. Although it's Tower of Zot. For 3 days straight. If I get the 4th tomorrow, maybe I should buy a lottery... lol.
