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

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

Had that happen a few days ago, playing 'The Chrysalis' which popped from trial roulette whilst levelling Reaper:
During the section when Nabriales pulls everyone into the Vortex - was attacking the 'tear' along with a Bard and started building for a LB on it, right before the Warrior on the team said "Limit Break the tear, quickly!" Managed to destroy the tear and the Bard and Warrior said "nice one!".

I know it's easy content but nonetheless - was nice to receive some acknowledgement for getting something right for a change!

Does anyone else get slightly annoyed by a different alliance's healer healing and ressing your party members? I'm fine with it when everything's going terribly wrong and there's waaaaay too many bodies, but when it's literally just one guy dead and both myself and my co-healer are alive and already on it, it bugs me. Like c'mon dude you're taking away my chance to stop spamming 11111111111 :'(

Those small pats on the back go a long ways really. Especially for healers. I know, I know healing has its benefits of fast queues, but it's still outright thankless.

Wish alliance raids and some 8-person parties just had one healer.

Leveling Roulette, saw it was a Healer in Need and I intended to go in as one but mistakenly pressed my SMN shortcut instead. Didn't realized I queued as SMN till I saw it in the DF window and that I'm going in an ongoing duty at 31mins in. Popped in and saw it was the Aetherochemical Research Facility. This was the first time I got it since they revamped it and saw that it had new mechanics for the ice and fire attacks which I wasn't familiar with (even died from it the first time it happened lmao). It was quite rough; first timer sprout tank kept on dying from mechanics and didn't Provoke Ascian Prime back when Raised so it kept on attacking the SCH. Luckily I went in as SMN so I have a back-up Raise. We finished it in one go thankfully.

Kudos to the SCH who stayed there for the party.

Not really, they're also trying to find things to do and stop spamming 1111111 because one healer can be enough at times for healing a party. Don't blame the players, blame the game design for not giving healers a more expansive support and DPS toolkit to focus on.

Heck, I couldn't even use rescue in Euphrosyne to pull a seduced party member to safety. There wasn't anything FOR me to do other than wait until they die while spamming my Dosis button. A shame, really. Doubly so when there's RDMs in my party and paying attention to dead bodies on our party.

Coming from aether and hearing stories of mental breakdowns over res macros on casual content lol.

I am encouraged to use one for that reason.
