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

I'm a full crown. I'm a (TEA only) legend.

These paid legend morons ruin a perfectly good crown symbol / entire category of titles. It's at the point that I'm hesitant around anybody actually using a legend title at all - and I have one!

Tbh doing ultimate content is mostly a personal achievement and to share with your potential static as well. I dont think there are many ultimate raiders that care about how they are perceived by others, even if it might be a bummer when fake titles are running around and diminishing that prestige a bit.

Replace personal achievement with testing your sanity and your on the nose

had a run of shisui with a drk that single pulled, never used a cd, and turned off their stance somehow during the second boss.

edit: run of world of darkness ended with the party leaving because half of us somehow died during garm. GARM.

So have you ever seen a bard so bad in expert roulette that they only use a single dot on mobs the entire run? Like just strictly one kind of dot and almost never touch the other? Along with never touching Apex Arrow, Emperyal Arrow, Barrage, Raging Strikes, and Iron Jaws? So much so that the RDM makes up an excuse and leaves after the second boss after seeing said bard be dead weight?

I bore witness to that today in the Aetherfont dungeon and I want to curl up and hide under the covers with s'mores so I can console myself that that's how bard is not supposed to be played.

I once queued for leveling roulette and the whm missed one gcd so I came here to shame them

Just one of those days. FC member needed people for seat of sacrifice. Joined them as a tank, other tank is a rando WAR. Rando WAR doesn't remember anything about the fight and initially says they'll leave it to me to tank. 5 seconds into the pull he's beside me and provoking. I just turn off stance and let it happen but wow... this guy ate every mechanic humanly possible. He's not using his mitigations or his heals, he's purely alive with 6 vuln stacks because the healers and myself(who is also playing as WAR) are doing everything possible to keep him alive.

Then right before chains I ask him to let me handle the LB. It's been a bit of a disaster so far and I kind of had a feeling it was going to continue. He says yes but the proceeds to immediately waste the LB as soon as we escape chains and the cutscene ends. No one says anything. We just do it all over again and he promises to get it right this time with some people trying to tell him when the time is right. I pop it and everyone's cheering for him... because of course. Post run everyone's telling him what a good job he did while the one FC member that was there helping with me(had 2 FC members there, one that needed the duty and another that was helping like me) was giving me consolation pats because they understood.

Here's what you do with pissbaby tanks as soon as they voke you voke it back and there you are inside their voke cycle just need to out dps them and they're not getting the boss back.

Sunken Temple of Qarn (Hard) on my fem middie alt, as a BLM.

Of course DF decides to pair me with a single pulling & no cooldown WAR + SGE(??) + single targeting freestyle MNK (or was it RPR I forgot).

And guess what, the WAR still dies and wiped a couple of times.

I found a mentor healer who threw a silent tantrum. Got The Aetherfont for Expert daily on my RDM main. We had a clumsy 1st timer SMN who needed plenty of heals but still tried their best. After the 2nd boss, the mentor healer got annoyed and wanted to kick the SMN out of the party. The reason was AFK but the SMN was not AFK so I clicked no. Of course the real reason was the SMN's clumsiness. Awesome mentor, instant kick for someone who's trying to learn the fight! /sarcasm So the healer got visibly angrier because the kick failed. They stopped healing us and died on purpose. I Verraised them. They accepted but let themselves die again and again... After a few Verraises I got tired of wasting MP on the healer so I focused on healing as a RDM and told the SMN to follow me to avoid boss mechanics. Fortunately, the tank was a pro WAR. We killed the last boss, said ty, I got out of the dungeon and reported the healer for passive aggressive behavior and not contributing to the fight. Sorry not sorry.

Have you ever had a samurai and summoner so bad in Dead Ends that they stand in aoes on just about everything, die at least twice to each boss, nearly bite it during trash pulls because orange is the new tasty, and have one of them drop off a passive-aggressive '' on you during the last boss because mechanics are for cars? All the while you're dumping everything and the kitchen sink as sage to keep them upright and/or scrape them off the ground repeatedly? But the only other redeeming factor for the party is the gigachad paladin yet you feel like total garbage for failing the denser-than-a-brick dps?

Well, I just had that kind of Dead Ends run and I want to just curl up and die.
