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

[VictorSpoils]

Had a slightly weird Lapis Manalis this morning. The healer was pulling all mobs ahead of the tank and the tank would not rotate the bosses away from the rest of the team. I suppose in terms of weird duty finder experiences this is not that severe, but it was so early in the morning I kind of had to take a minute to realize what was happening, because something felt off.

Here's the 6:30 AM mentor roulette experience:

>instant meridianum
>tanking because the worst tanks and healers seem to play between midnight and noon
>pre-pull Regen messes up pull
>stops healing entirely for the last 30% of the first boss
>die right as the boss does
>raise macro
>meridianum pops again two roulettes later

Only 230 more runs to to go.

So my curse continues. What curse you may ask?

The curse that, if I were to say 'I'm going to die,' someone else dies instead.

Decided to run BLM (I'm unbelievably rusty and rather undergeared with this job) with a couple FC mates to get more astronomy for crafting mats last night. FC mates came as another BLM and PLD. We get a SGE for our random healer and get Lapis Manalis to pop.

Things go pretty well (second boss' speed is still a bit much for my hamster dps brain) up until the last boss. Well, he starts doing his zoomies when I parked myself near some red and realized out loud 'I'm going to die.' I had a vuln stack, and normally anything else will most likely kill me.

Co-BLM FC mate dies legit 3 seconds later the moment I said that in discord chat. Like full to zero.

Co-BLM FC mate cries at me saying I cursed him yet again. PLD FC mate is laughing too hard to do some of the mechanics right. He nearly dies but lives because tank privilege. We clear and I get told to just stop doing that.

I can't help it. D:

I broke my streak of having an unbroken Portrait again today. It hurt to see. But things have mostly been uneventful in the Roulettes I do so that's pretty much the most interesting thing that happened.

To the DRG we had last night in the latest trial:

If you're going to just afk the entire fight, please don't queue. He took much longer to drop since you weren't participating in the duty. You weren't accepting rezzes either after a certain point, and if you don't understand mechanics, please speak up instead of just giving up and being the pro floortank.

Sincerely,

One very annoyed whm that dumped way too much mp on sustaining you and the party.

Scared me for a second cause I was on my DRG last night for the first time in weeks. I never dropped though. I should hit 90 tonight.

JUST LET ME HAVE MY BATHROBE OF VICTORY.

[Curisu]

Wanted to do a level 90 dungeon to finish my khloe book.
Asked my GF to join me, so I invited her. She was not immediately ready, so I clicked a bit through the PF.

I saw 2 DPS looking for a 3rd DPS and a Tank for expert roulette.
Of course we joined with me as a WAR.

The dungeons can be fun and quite challenging when you don't have a healer.
We did two rounds, both about 15min with in total of 4 death's in the rounds, all 4 due to laggs.

When I did it earlier that week I had one run that took 30min and it had a DPS who complained about not getting healed enough.

I got the Striking/Aiming tops last 2 weeks because for many they were not appealing, at least for me I glam as the nerd punchy character.

I am trying so hard to not spam this raid for the healer/caster top though because I know the desire sensor is real lol.

Only done 2 times this week's raid for the maiming chest piece, I want to apologise to the healer for eating all the aoes in the 2nd trash fight, the floor is just so hard to see x.x

I have seen every single top and pretty much know most of the mechanics to the fights... enough so that I can do it half asleep. I just want the healer top so I can stop running it. Because by the time I'm done at this point, I'm pretty sure I can augment all of my current healer gear and my tanking gear on top.

I know this is super petty, but watching half the alliance raid tell themselves good job in chat and pat themselves on the back while the other half of the alliance is dying to random adds that the tanks are picking up(and healers aren't really healing, had a tank die themselves due to it) just... burns me.

But I'm also tired of having to be the bitch that speaks up and says that things aren't okay, so I just let it go.
