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

[Cincierta]

I don't even know how to call this

Two things: whole lotta oop, and recoverable as long as you or the healers don't get the tankbuster.

SO I have two stories from small roulettes I did to finally get RPR to 90.

1. So doing the dungeon where we beat up frogs ( I am TERRIBLE at remembering dungeon names ) and I knew this was gonna go...in ways...because one no one interrupts the frog from making mobs bigger. My stun does not work so it needed to be a tank or I believe a ranged physical...it doesn't happen and we end up wiping. So now tank is single pulling and although slower it is safer if either tank or healer isn't up to snuff. Anyway get to final boss and I thought I had a genius moment because Reaper can teleport forward or backward...but also return to that spot. So I backport early just as he is about to cause the bridge walk mechanic. I know you can't jump it or else you go straight down but I'm literally TELEPORTING...however nope even between dimensions you can't cheese that mechanic even though the Scions can ( I call hax! ). I get to the end though and start DPSing and that's when I realize the others aren't INSIDE the zone. I start calling for inside but I don't think they understand me and we wipe. Turns out one was watching a movie which frankly I totally understand since content is mostly braindead easy and I do it too on occasion.

2. I do the one where dragon boy is like "No don't kill them and I'm all like yo they are eating you and he's all like yeah you got a point let's kill these fools". So I learned that with 2 stacks pf Shroud...you can DPS peel off aggro off the tank. I probably shouldn't have gone extra on my DPS cause I'm starting to get aggro but at least I'm killing them so hard that once I got their attention they are pretty much dead. Anyway it ends with me trying to be a showoff so I die a needless dead, raise, and get killed immediately again by a raidwide cause I forget you are targetable the second you do any sort of action. Cool boy points go down by 2.

any movement ability including jumps and teleports are programmed as if they are fast sprints. its all 2D. not only for that mechanic but for any aoe effect in your way

[AngelCheese77]

I know. Just I like then healers know - they are healers. They are not dps members. Its a cringe if you as WHM waiting while my hp down 20% and use benefiction after. I'm not robot or numbers on your panel. I am paladin. I am man. Think about players like they mans. Not like "he don't die I don't heal him". Nah I hate this gameplay style. Its good on savage. But not good on normal content where you can play as roleplay character.

*fires up her Glare finger*

I’ll prolly kill it before you reach 90% HP anyway

This gave me a good chuckle.

Not sure but i think if 2 people stun it cancels each other out. Maybe that happened here.

That's unfortunate, but on the positive: Now i don't have to test for myself.

Never learn the names. Your descriptions are way better

*big pic*

I hate when somebody swaps and Montanas.

Fun: Pic your choice (MT)

Ok but seriously...You're needed in battle!

On another note Blue is fine and is right. Red is slightly right too but is being a major butt about it and needs to calm their moobs.

Seems like red doesn't pick up on context clues when someone goes "oops MT" which in that text...usually proceeded by something said that doesn't make sense with what is going on that.it means Mistell in that case.

They obviously saw you as tank and just put it together as Main Tank.

Or maybe they are just REALLY against admitting they made a mistake in noticing what you meant and wanted to double down and be a butt.

For clarification. I put red for DPS. It was actually multiple people though. I didn't cover the job symbols in hopes to clarify that. This line confused basically the entire party and we had a good laugh after we left. There were also a few moments of the raid where the bosses switched targets. Either way I'm not concerned with who is "right" in this scenario.

If the boss was switching targets and the MT came up i would chalk it up to bad timing cause MT means both things.

But now we should be talking about how to hold a boss. Whoever pulls first of the tanks is just the dedicated MT IMO...I would do my first leap/combo and then immediately shirk to the MT if I was OT to ensure I do not pull from them when I'm Blue DPSing. In the event if MT looses aggro without dying they need to provoke it back immediately to prevent a "spin and cleave".

Sounds like the tanks didn't have a plan other than "dive and what happens, happens".

Just glad you are over and done with on that group.

Edit - after looking for much longer than I should have too cause apparently finding an answer to this is hard...you can not shirk an Alliance tank. Only within your party. So it's an ability that is 100% worthless in 100% of Alliances. That's dumb. Regardless I've been doing it since forever...and for no reason it seems other than habit.

Urban dictionary isnt ff14 LMAO
Still...you can always learn one or two bad words here
