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

Ayo, I boosted my MNK to 80 but didn't level it in Endwalker until I had the dungeons, playing in melee, and how MNK works at rotations and openers down. :") We aren't all that bad.

I'm going off the assumption they boosted WAR because I can't think of any other reason why that was the only mitigation they used. It could have been trouble with a new controller/m-kb. It could have been that they aren't used to their keybinds yet (ie unsure if X should be placed A or B because where it is on C doesn't feel right yet or something similar).

I don't really know because I didn't ask and they left rather quickly after the dungeon was complete. (And I usually don't ask why people play the way they do because of many reasons first and foremost me being a slow typer) What I do know is that I did not see anything other than Rampart and Inner Release. And certainly not any form of Raw Intuition on trash (had to look that up because my WAR alt is currently collecting dust).

I dunno what it was. But they certainly didn't play WAR decently. /shrug We didn't wipe so ultimately doesn't matter.

As for being able to boost and play, I commend ya because I certainly can't. Brain's not wired that way. Even if you gave me a guide. Its 100% why I hate jobs that start from any level other than 1, and also because all the skills are front loaded onto your bars w/o an option to turn that off.

Got Lapis Manalis in expert roulette yesterday, me as WHM with DRK and two melees, can't exactly remember which jobs.
One of those nice cozy lvl90 dungeon runs where everything goes smoothly, until we hit the 2nd Boss.
Overall the fight went very well but during the phase where the boss casts the multiple cross AoEs, we all got hit with Doom at various points and I only barely managed to esuna the last one before it went off.

Obviously it's only a normal dungeon, it wouldn't have mattered much even if it KOd some characters, but it was still a satisfying moment and added some excitement to an otherwise comfy but pretty brainless run.

To the war tank in B that we had last night in Eurphosyne:

Please stop trying to main tank if you're having that hard of a time staying alive. Please also stop bringing tankbusters into the party. Please also actually attack instead of just sheathing your weapon and staring at Nymeia like I saw you do earlier. Please also keep that stacked tankbuster away from people that aren't tanks, dps and healers are tremendously squishy.

You assassinated several people repeatedly that run, and that was my first run of the place since my FC demands I run things completely blind. Thanks for making my first run of a gorgeous raid sour and harder than it should have been.

I don't demand things be easy right off the bat, but at least have some basic courtesy to not kill your own alliance members with your trolling.

Sincerely,

The WHM in A.

I most definitely do not use it while moving collecting packs. That seems to be where the first error in the response is. Cooldowns are basically wasted if you use them before you stop collecting everything. I never said I used it when grabbing the first set. I used it AFTER I had stopped. "Start trash pull" is code from me for Aoeing a wall pull. If you've only pulled one pack then you're not done pulling yet. I guess it would've helped people understand had I'd written "Starting to murder the wall pull" or something of that fashion.

Didn't seem to matter if I started with rampart or sentinel because they barely used holy in the first place.

Who uses hallowed while on the move? Seems like that entire chain of responses came from misunderstanding what was written.

The misunderstanding came from a lack of details to begin with, so I appreciate that you decided to clear things up. The healer was definitely at fault here by the sound of things. In all fairness, however, I've been around a while, so I've seen a thing or two. My original assessment wouldn't have surprised me in the least if it had proven to be true. That is nothing against you though. It just comes from being slightly jaded.

Today's Mentor Roulette featured a level 70 non-sprout DRK (with BLM at 84) farming Ultima's Bane synced through the DF, all while refusing to tank swap or even turn on tank stance and BMing after several wipes in their second appearance.

....I.. why? Why even do that fight synched?

Not once in my lifetime I’ve heard so much Physucks being casted in a single run: Dusk Vigil.

I have now.

Those Max Potions leftover from PotD runs definitely helps a lot. I’m glad I never toss them out. Saved my sorry WAR a$$ in wall pulls. No deaths? A win-win to me eyes!

Ordeals EX:

Our MT had the great idea to spin Rubi after the add phase and stand on the edge to give our melee positionals. Someone dared to speak up against it.

Meanwhile, our shields and healing were lacking as my SMN got dropped twice despite no missteps. Others got wrecked at other points for the same reason.

I had a good laugh when doing the puzzle today and 6 of my fellow party members had the red square pop up right behind them. TOASTY~!!!
I sage LB'd, but then I couldn't make it to the next spot in time because I couldn't even see the board to figure it out. ;_;

Me getting praised in expert roulette and I'm just like "did someone just compliment me? what is this feeling?"
