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

[Cincierta]

That moment when you roll on alliance roulette with a friend and get Breach.

That moment when you're on war, and they're on sage.

That moment when you realize their co-healer is a sage.

That moment when they talk at the beginning and coordinate shields to counteract raidwides consistently along with your own.

That moment when you always see your party standing strong after raidwides.

That moment when you see your other alliances struggling.

That moment when you realize this was the smoothest run of Breach you've had in the past year for your party alone.

I'm beginning to become annoyed by the quick chat options in CC.

People who give that early "Good Match!" the instant anything goes remotely wrong should be excised from PvP forever and rocketed into the sun, lol.

It's far too easy to get mentor in this game and still have no idea what you're doing. Trusts means you can now level to 90 without even needing to come across a real person for half the time. Then they get into content that requires SOME knowledge, which in this game, really isn't that much.

I've never thought Mentors were needed in this game, but "Mentor Roulette" especially doesn't seem to be designed to help anybody. I never really cared about it but recently I got curious about what it even was, so I looked it up on the wiki. Apparently it's just an "everything roulette" but it doesn't prioritize matching with newbies or first-timers, it prioritizes matching depending on how long someone has been in a queue waiting.

What does that have to do with being a mentor!? Nothing!! Why are mentors connected to this?? Anybody can do that. Actually, the fact that they don't make this available for everyone kind of goes against the whole idea of trying to get such groups filled, doesn't it? Sign me up for "Charity Case" roulette any day, lol.

As a WAR - Expert - latest dungeon - stance on, all onboard - WHM, RPR,MCH all good, off we go.
First WHM gives me a regen before i even could touch a mob. No biggi, weird but okay. Then the moment i drop a couple of HP: heal, more healzzz and morrrreeee healz.
I dont even need Bloodwhetting or Equilibrium.

SO this is a message for my WHM form this Dungeon:
Who hurt you? Are you okay? I am a WAR, you can chill. I maybe a smoll Lala but still a WAR.

I dont know what is going on but i see a lot of "panick healer" and "burning-headless-chicken-healer" the last couple of days in Roulette. Whats up with that ? Did i miss the memo ?
I even saw a SGE and SCH overwriting their shields in a contest whose mana is first depleted. A medica spamming WHM and an AST that spammed Helios as if his/her live depends on it. Sure Roulette is all skill levels in a hotpot but this not even skill anymore, thats face-fusion-keyboard. A couple of them even were Mentor..... this crown strikes fear even in the strongest of hearts.
*RANT END*

Thank you and have a good one.

This thread is a sad piece of toxicity. You must all think very high of yourselves as you commentate on your fellow player's behavior in-game on a thread where they can't see you disrespecting them. Our beautiful community does not need people like you. There is nothing wrong with any style of play that a player may choose to pursue and the relentless aggressors on this thread ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Regen before the pull doesn't seem odd to me. It keeps health steady until you stop, and if they wait until they get attacked, the healer can get aggro.

Panic healing seems odd though, but some people get nervous that you're going to take damage really fast.

Read and learn. Be the solution and not the problem. There's 330 pages of what not to do right here.

I purposely wait to cast Regen until after the tank has picked up aggro, because it populates my Enemy List so I can easily apply DoTs as we run ahead. If I get any aggro from that, it's because the tank failed to tap a monster or two in the first place, but it's not a big deal. I just run along and bring the monsters to them at the end of the pull, so they can pick them up. I can take care of myself until then.

I believe with recent changes to how healer aggro works from regens and such, applying regen to a tank before they pull enemies won't give the healer aggro when the regen ticks. Someone else may have to confirm that for me though.

I also came here to share this from a recent Skalla run:




Had a SCH that was nowhere near new who would stand in place casting Ruin 2 instead of Broil 2. I could understand using it for movement, but. And the comment about Deploy was that they would frequently use it without having a shield on anyone. Some people I just don't understand.

Just so you know, we're not all like that. Also, have you ever had to vent? Chances are you have. If so, I think you would understand some of what's going on here. There is some toxicity present, sure, but that is usually called out for what it is.

Homie walks in a venting thread and act surprised. Just another day in MMO forum.

Regen application generates artificial aggro just as any other buff applications. Their ticks do not.

The only regen ticks that generates aggro are the ones that came from ground targeted actions like Asylum, Soil, etc because they reapply the ‘buff’/tick every server tick, generating those artificial aggro.

Also that SCH screenshot. My SCH heart is crying. At least they are still better than that SGE in my Dead Ends who literally spams E.Dosis III 100% of times.
