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

Were... were they sprouts at least? Or running it for the first time since the rework? Gosh I've somehow managed to be really lucky with my MSQ queues.

No. None of them were. Tank either wasnt using mitigation or was badly geared, too.

*sigh*

Got Weeping City on Alliance Roulette, group had a bunch of apparent new people but was mostly OK until we get to Ozma. After the nostalgic wipe, I explained the mechanics but a white mage who wasn't new thought I was trolling when I said that acceleration bombs mean to stop moving or attacking, despite it saying exactly that in the tool tip for the debuff. My party at least listened and got through unscathed. But the white mage continued to spend the rest of the raid calling me a troll...

[True-to-Caesar]

Had group with decent dps, but the healer for some reason was so awful and couldn’t even heal his/her own HP back from simple aoe.
Kept dying at the last boss, could have been fine if I was paladin or even gunbreaker… but I was Dark Knight lul.

Ended up bitting the abandon penalty because 40 mins or more for a dungeon is a waste of time.

To that GNB I was paired w/ in Expert Roulette...

No matter how or when you choose to pop Bolide, you will not surprise nor scare me with it. Any use of bolide = at least 3-4 free GCDs for me to do whatever I want without you dying. Realize that while I love seeing my tanks using their tools no matter what the content demands, I will make you dance in disco for your life if you dare to pop bolide 'for funzies'. But don't worry~ I will make sure you're just riiiight there, one step away from death's door before pulling you back <3 then we'll move on like nothing ever happened!

Sincerely,

That SCH who you've subjected to your bolide memes.

[...]4. Bard found that out the hard way

Quite possibly the best lesson they can learn from the day.

You...........I LIKE you

...the healer is having to spam heals because you're not using CDs properly. Plus a sage is going to be constantly healing you due to kardia, so... Also, you realize TBN takes priority over sage shields right? It's the second highest priority shield in the game, it's going to pop regardless of the sage's shields, so you're double wrong.

Unless you're referring to LD as your most powerful CD, to which my response is... wat, why would you want to blow that immediately when it's completely unnecessary when you have a sage healer, and what do you do during the longass cooldown?

Ah yes, why wouldn't I want to put an ability that allows to soak an indefinite amount of damage AND gives a life steal that heals you to full in 4 GCDs on CD asap so I can get more uses over the dungeon.

Better save that one for an emergency, right? (/s, since your reading comprehension is definitely lacking)

Also, the fact that you had to run to the Balance and ask about TBN interaction with shields before replying is absolutely hilarious.

[VelKallor]

Okay

Someone explain this to me. We get Halitali Hard ( which is a freaking breeze, I love that place ) and the dps...BAILS before we even get to the first boss.

Like..WHAT THE HELL??? We are working the mobs prior and he / she just vanishes. Did we one shot it? Damned straight we did..so why? Healing it is a breeze, yes there are a few look away mechanics but those are HARD to handle? Am I getting old or do people have no patience anymore?

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

Considering the DRK in question was also eating tiger cookies liberally, I think it's safe to assume they would not utilize Living Dead properly neither so I can sort of get Cincierta's sentiment. When was the last time you get paired with a DRK in DF who can pull that off without properly communicating beforehand anyways? Better be safe than sorry. It is however awesome to use Living Dead properly since their revamp though, ngl.

Maybe their goldfish drowned and need help.

Jokes aside, I'd guess they had something to take care of irl ASAP. Life happens, after all.

Ah yes, it's SO FUNNY that I like to verify my understanding of something is correct before spewing out misinformation. Hilarious! Pop off I guess, you sure got me! lol

And my point is, since you want to talk about reading comprehension, a sage kind of makes LD unnecessary/harder to use in general due to how their kit is designed. What, you want them to sit there doing nothing? Literally anything a sage does generates healing in some form. If it were a SCH or AST, then yeah sure pop that LD all day.

The "fun" one is when you are MT on DRK, paired with another DRK, and they ALWAYS OVERRIDE YOUR TBN! I started waiting until the last possible millisecond to put mine up when I'm paired with another DRK because it always ends up overriding when I use it when I normally would with any other tank.
