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

I've noticed the same. Usually it's tank but if you queue tank you will have to wait. Queue HEALER though and it's instant.

I think the AIN lies.

I assume it happens if the "tank in need" is looking to fill a high-level duty, but because it doesn't actually set a level range, people are queuing with low-level tanks that aren't eligible for the duty. So the program is still waiting on a high-level tank and keeps displaying that icon, but has plenty of other tanks ready to pair with a rouletting healer.

Was doing LotA (shocker) and our DPS was SOOOO high that he didn't do the first flare till 30%. So some of us like minded people were shouting "GO FOR THE GREED! GREED OR DEATH!" so when he started to queue up the 2nd Flare I stayed to finish him off...and everyone else ran. He flared, I died, at less than 1%.

IN DEATH DO OUR SOULS SING!

How is it counterproductive?

Holy is WHM's AOE and is a net DPS gain over... well any other option the WHM has. The 7 second stun used when the tank has stopped is a net mitigation gain, because the beginning is the most dangerous part. There are few, if any, pulls that will require a stun after the pack has been thinned. Even if there were, the DPS loss and mitigation loss of not using Holy would work out at as a net loss.

In other words, always use Holy, its a gain no matter how you cut it.

I know this was resolved not two posts later, but I want to explain the best way to pair holy and hallowed together:

After the healer has exhausted the holy stun on a large group of mobs. It's that easy, after they've casted Holy three times, you're free to use Hallowed Ground.

Did Sastasha with my boyfriend, first time in FFXIV that he does a dungeon (I'm running a new character alongside him). Nothing at all of event happened, but he seemed to find it comfy and fun. Couldn't be happier.

Gotta feel pretty to good to have SO share in your interests. I hope he keeps at it with ya. When he sees Edda...have him remind her to keep her head up.

Hello darkness my old friend.



Bonus: drk was too reliant on tbn that the poor sch was forced to almost purely heal them the entire run just to keep them upright. LD went unused.

I got into Vanaspati on my alt, the tank apologized because they were new to Paladin, but claimed that their "glam was fire".

Unsurprisingly, their Paladin gameplay was a shit as their glam.

I'm not sure what's wrong with that gear? Looks like someone that just hit level 80 on MCH and didn't have the tomes to fully upgrade their gear yet. This would have been relatively normal back when the dungeon was first released.

I'd have been a lot more worried if they were still using full level 70 gear or something, which judging from their HP amount relative to your synced gear/HP amount isn't really the case (I think they're using a mix of leveling gear and level 80 tome gear)?

Poetics, if you do your daily roulettes, especially the msq, practically dogpile you in them. Heck even spamming Prae gets you a choco-ton.

Both of those rings are level 60, neck and wrist are both 70, head/hands/legs are 70, and the hq 80 gear you get from coffers/mb are surprisingly cheap. Heck you can also buy the nq ones from npcs and still would be better than these. Only aoe's I could see the mch doing were Flamethrower/Bioblaster/Autocrossbow once per pack after a surprising amount of single-targetting. Things were dying rather slowly despite my flare'ing like crazy.

Never heard/saw Reassemble used once the entire dungeon. Dungeon took about 25 minutes to complete. I can only do so much boom-booms as blm.

Okay, yeah, that would do it, although I'd be way more bothered by the lack of AoEs rather than the gear at that point.
