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

:sweats: :gulp: T-t-to my defense.. I do this only to bosses that really seem to love facing South (or toward where the party came from) whenever they're about to do an AoE/mechanic i.e. all Troian bosses. Might as well keep them as stationary as possible.



This on the other hand... *cry in targeted 5y circle AoE*

With the bosses that constantly turn to face the one direction to do their mechanics, that is understandable. But for ones that face the tank(or whoever it's targeting at that point), it can be quite annoying...especially in the case of a tank I had sometime last week that ALWAYS stood on top of the party, so trying to do positionals was impossible. Thankfully that boss didn't have a cleave. Though, also had that in P12N this week.

Players who stands mile away from boss, heals/buff never reach them.
They die because nobody knows where the *** they are
Can't even ress them right away - because their corpse is god knows where.

The Tidal Wave is still the single deadliest part of that fight.

Especially the time I learned the hard way that it could come from the back of the platform, not just the sides.

Seven out of eight people washed away.

No, I was not the one.

Yeah I learned the hard way that if you can't see the tidal wave...it's because it's behind the boss.

I forget dungeon name but it's the one where the final boss has 3 invincible phases with corrupted crystals...so a pre-50 dungeon.

It was my Leveling Roulette ( I've not done one in ages since I really don't have anything to level but trying to get my last 2 up there ) and one of the DPS was voted out right before 2nd boss.

There seems to be an argument going on between the other DPS and tank against the healer. Apparently the healer was against the kick so they shortly leave too. So now it's me, the other DPS, and the tank. I sit there for a moment waiting for a healer to pop but after 2 minutes I'm like "Nah this is pre-50 so we can single pull and do bosses without. Tank might die but that's a risk I'm willing to take cause I knew us DPS would finish it".

Sure enough we kill 2nd boss and tank was just barely alive. We start to do the big room and we are single pulling no prob when the healer pops up finally. Tank starts to multi pull and pretty much uneventful and smooth sailing from there. At least it was a quick roulette. Just 4 total levels and all my classes are donezo.

Welcome to MMORPGs my guy.

FFXIV? I have a BRD/BLM standing in Thavnair while the rest of us are on the boss. (and SOME HOW you're outside my ridiculous ES range)

WoW? The same but with Ranger and he's in the Outlands.

ESO? I have a CONE HEAL for ~8-10y in front of me that buffs your damage and for SOME UNGODSLY REASON (the Divines, the Twelve or w/e religion you follow on Azeroth) I get the Magicka or Stamina (or hybrid now I guess *throws up hands*) ranged DPS 10FT BEHIND ME.

And on top of that?

They also run like headless chickens away from you at times.

...You learn to deal with it /sigh

On the upside, FFXIV doesn't really have a lot of places the DPS can run to.

[Renalt]

One day I will try ESO.

[ASkellington]

One day I will try ESO.

It has its downsides and upsides like any MMO.

Yeah, it's called taking the "Does It Look Like I Give A F"(or DILLIGAF for short) approach when someone who does that dies.

No one can heal stupid. Don't drive yourself crazy trying.

[Miracle_Diva]

I don't even know how to call this
