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

Really can't be bothered finding that person anymore, but to whoever "actually"ed me: no, Lightspeed and Ascend don't work together.

They do. Not enough for it to really matter in my opinion outside of chain rezzes, but it does shave off some time.

You're still going to be casting for 4+ seconds, so if the person @ you saying it would make Ascend instant - that's false.

[SannaR]

Not that it really mattered in the fight, but why do people choose to have dumb things tied to their macros? Did MSQ roulette on my alt and got the fight against Ultima Weapon. The tank would occasionally say in say Hit me hard daddy. Now I know after the 1st time they wouldn't need to macro it to repeat it. And yet it just came off as something that was tied to a macro. This wasn't even the first time I had a tank have something like that tied to a skill that they would be using frequently. Another thing that I've been seeing recently is in dungeons tanks mostly newer ones just use voke every time it elwas off cool down. I tend to see it happen a lot with low level DRks who in dungeons that you know they're not new to as the game doesn't post the "someone is new" message and there is no mapping achievement pop up for them. Depending on the day I will tell them that they shouldn't need to voke the boss that they have solid hate on. Only to be ignored.

Its not instant but it is way faster with lightspeed than hard rezzing without.

[NekoMataMata]

Bit random but after tanking most every roulette for the past couple of days I've run into this little pet peeve multiple times.

I don't really care if a DPS or Healer managed to run ahead of me, but please, please do something useful. Do not be that person that sits there at the wall or whatever barrier there is while there's still healthy trash left to finish clearing just so you can run ahead of the tank, not even Rescueing them forward or helping to pull with Arm's Length. And please, do DPS as we walk. I double aoe each pull just to make sure that no matter how hard you dps you won't be pulling aggro.

Been a while since i left a dungeon and took the penalty.
Yesterday in Trial roulette: chrysalis. Me on Astro.
2 people were new, both of them dps (SAM and DRG).
People explain in chat to wait with the LB and only use it in second phase.
They also explain to not stand in the meteors if you're not a tank.
So of course once the LB3 was fully charged, one of the new dps, the DRG, used it on the boss >_>.
Both of the new dps than die because they each stood in the meteors, so of course we fail the dps check and wipe.
After that when asked "who used LB?" the DRG said "Sorry".
I just left and took the 30 minutes penalty. If people cant read, then im not helping them clear content.

Just tested. Ascend and lightspeed works together. (I have some spellspeed so my base cast time was ~7.84 seconds). The new cast time got shortened to 5.39 seconds)

[Dikatis]

Was running the Dancing Plague in trial roulette. All seemed normal until the blue knockback marker showed up. For whatever reason, all of the DPS felt compelled to stand IN the blue circle rather than at the edge. They all died. I asked healers to LB3 to quickly rez so we could clear the DPS check. Nope. Healers all decided to hardcast Raise on all of the DPS. Knockback marker appears again, the newly revived DPS all jump BACK INTO THE SAME MECHANIC THAT KILLED THEM LAST TIME AND LINGERED THERE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. They all died again. Healers still wouldn't LB3, we wiped.

I was feeling a little antsy and the healers called me out for being passive-aggressive but... this isn't Sephirot fist slamming. Why are you stacking inside the blue circle on purpose?

[Kennar]

I jumped into Euphrosyne on my GNB alt. Right from the start I was fighting for aggro with the other tank, so I went to turn off my tank stance. I selected the correct cross hotbar, didn't see the orange Royal Guard icon at a glance, switched to the other hotbar... and popped Superbolide. I'm still not used to the tank stance button changing color and becoming "Release from Tank Stance." Sorry, healers.

That was me. Please read tooltips before calling anyone out. Thanks.

To the sch I just had on my alt drk in Bardam's Mettle:

1. Stop spamming Physick. It's absolutely useless as a heal. Your shields will do much better, especially since you were spamming Physick for 90% of the duty.
2. You have Emergency Tactics to get a double heal out of your shields, and can be used every 15 seconds.
3. Stop spamming Physick.
4. Excog the tank, not yourself. It does nothing when it's on the wrong target.
5. Stop spamming Physick.
6. Hit your Sprint. Sprint as a tank helps mitigate damage, and it keeps you up with the tank that hit sprint. You're going to see this a ton in higher levels, get used to it.
7. Stop spamming Physick.
8. You have Aetherflow that can be used for either Sacred Soil, Excog, or Lustrate. Please make better use of it.
9. Stop spamming Physick.
10. Art of War. Use it in packs instead of spamming Broil. Your aoes do more damage than you realize and could have saved us a wipe.
11. Stop spamming Physick.
12. Lots of tanks will not single-pull and will often w2w. You're going to have to get used to it.
13.Stop spamming Physick.
14. Saying 'our tank has somewhere to be' when I hit Sprint and calling me cringe when I try to motivate the party after a wipe that your Physick-spamming caused is a very poor attitude to have. Drop the poor attitude now or get kicked in the future.
15. STOP. SPAMMING. PHYSICK.

Sincerely,

One drk that had to put up with your terrible mindset

Would be a shame if someone used Physick
