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

In P11, had someone accidently rescue me across the arena to on top of the raid when I had the massive AE tank buster on me. Needless to say, the entire raid wiped and we had to start over. One of the more impressive ways to wipe a raid I must say. Everyone was dumbfounded at what just happened.

I really, really love moogle tomes. DCed for a couple minutes because we have storms where I live right now. We're halfway through Prae at Nero, I'm tanking, and I comeback right in time to see myself getting votekicked.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for speed, but I'm pretty sure you're going to spend more time waiting for a new tank on that. Shame I can't report it.

THEY DON'T EVEN NEED A TANK! They could have just finished while waiting for you to comeback. I've been there though. Had a couple times where I Dc/ed and couldn't comeback in time for it to matter. Feels like such a loss because of all the time wasted watching cutscenes you've seen enough you could recite it.

Requires more effort from the healer. I actually ran into the healer after cause I immediately queued back up and ran through castrum, and of course when I got out I see them sitting on a bench in limsa afk while I'm checking the itinerant moogle. I know I mock people for afking in limsa a bit too much, but this genuinely annoyed me. I wasn't even kicked for the purpose of speeding up a tome farm, I was kicked so someone go could back to afking in limsa.

Yuck. Sorry that happened to you, they should have given you more than just a couple of minutes. It takes time to come back from a DC. That said, don't take it personally, they probably just didn't think you were coming back. Some people don't understand how long it can take to get back in game. When my internet konks out and it takes me several minutes to reconnect, I'm honestly surprised if I haven't been kicked.

I had my co-healer disconnect in the first minute or two of Proto-Carbuncle, and they just never returned for the whole fight. We all said our GG's at the end and they were still just floating around in internet Limbo. What really sucks is I think it was their first time, too.

I actually like Cure 3 more. I felt Medica 2 OHed too much but apparently overhealing isn't much an issue these days.

I love Cure 3; WHM is still my "main" healer tho' I've been playing a lot of AST as of late... but it cycles between all of them tbh.
I just see a lot of WHM just... not use Medica II like, at all. Which can be frustrating because a Medica II + Regen = basically you don't have to heal like, at all for a good 10-20 seconds.

Yeah, being a former holy priest from WoW, overhealing hurts my soul. But, it hardly means anything in FFXIV.

In fact, when I dps or tank, I frequently see the healer throwing HoTs on the party even before the pull. It's a safety net, sure.

But, it's always struck me as wasteful and bad design. Square Enix needs to reduce how fast healers regain MP. Knowing what spell/ability to use at the right time should be core to the healer role.

But MP after death should regen faster. I hate having to wait for mp to rez because i screwed up

I mean I don't know them, so can't really take it personally. Was a bit upset though. I usually wait for people for around 5 minutes. If you're a DPS I'll wait longer cause I can just go ahead.

It's times like these where I wish I played on JP cause apparently they have codes of etiquette that people follow.

On MSQ roulette i just continue and don't votekick at all. I hope that the sad DC person can come back and happily see that we didn't kick them and progressed further so they are closer to the big rewards at the end

Of course that backfires if they don't come back in time.

The only exception was when someone pointed out a DPS that didn't do anything. Just here for the exp. So we kicked that person.
