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

[Remolia]

Decided to queue for mentor roulette for the hell of it, got Snowcloak and noticed the healer was new. I thought it would be right to give quick advice as we progressed, you know, like a mentor. Apparently I'm a jerk.



He died on the last boss and yet it didn't even matter because I healed the dps with Aurora when I could and used pots to heal myself. It's people like this that remind me of when I was levelling BLM back in SB, I wasn't rude like this guy but I was still dismissive of advice because I just wanted to get it to 70. I think back on that moment and cringe every time, especially since I love playing BLM these days. Hopefully this guy has his moment of clarity in the future and realizes what a tosser he was.

Cure 1 is cool, but should be use with other spells. not Cure 1 only

Cure I should be tossed aside once you're in the mid-30s and have Regen.

If you're in a situation before lvl 52 where you have to spam the tank with back-to-back Cure spells alongside keeping Regen up, and you're out of MP because of it, then you probably have a paper tank and Cure I still won't help you in that situation. Teki is right, Cure I should be avoided once you have Cure II and any healer worth their salt will tell you this. GCD efficiency is much more important than MP efficiency in this game.

Also Holy stun does far more for a tanks health than any heal, it's practically a 7s invuln every pull. I always tell new WHM players this if I notice they're at a level where Holy is available and they're still relying on Cure and Freecure.

No Cure 1 is cool, Cure 1 gang

Please tell me you only play with pre-mades for the fun of it, otherwise you're only trolling other players who have to pick up the slack for your lack of a toolkit.

ofc not, its hard to find people for basic stuff in PF, plus a lot of people I knew left the game after EW release, so I ma just playing something as conjurer from time to time, just for fun.

snip.

It's also a shame that now you can be reported for telling a player how to play correctly when they didn't ask. I know, that sounds dumb, cause you though you were doing right and I also think you did nothing wrong. I'm also amazed by your patience cause you didn't openly insulted a player who thinks his skill and ego are greater than other. We need more mentor like you.



On going on my story now.

Tag a Leveling roulette for the money as a Paladin. Got Holminster.

Got through the 2 first bosses with relative ease, then the fun started. In the last part, between the second boss and the third, you have this annoying place where you can't pull more than one pack. It's not like I don't want to pull more, I just can't because the "eggs" don't explode after the pack is killed.

Knowing that, I took the first pack, and tanked it on the spot, not on the eggs (Let's be honest, that doesn't change anything at all. Either solution work, and the final outcome of this part won't change anyway.)

The Healer then grab me on the eggs. I said that was useless cause eggs won't pop unless we kill the mobs first. He replied that I would got aggro immediatly this way... which would also be the case if I was tanking on my original spot... But whatever. I didn't want to argue any further. I decided to do my own tanking and tank the rest of the adds on their spawn point. The healers then choose to NOT AoE the adds, and stay on the next eggs... Which is counterproductive. I didn't say anything else. We killed the 3rd boss then he said : "You shouldn't argue with someone who know the games better than you " and leaved immediatly after.

The samourai inside the team started to ask what was the healer problem about the way I tanked cause it was good. I said not to be bothered by that kind of player, that he will be blacklisted and reported anyway.

I also was curious about the history behind that particuliar player so I did some research. That was an Alt on the EU server from a NA player. I was like "Fine, let's check if this guys is knowing the game better than me or not by checking his main character". He only had 4 class lvl 90, some of them weren't even unlocked, never killed any extreme up to date or Savage. I don't even talk about Ultimate.

When I saw that, I immediatly bursted into laugh on how pathetic this guy was for feeling like a beast when he achieved nothing.

Already had that discussion. Remolia enjoys playing as Conjurer, queing in party finder, even on higher levels. You and me might think that's unfair to the people she gets grouped with but ultimately Remolia doesn't see it that way and the game doesn't prohibit it.

Recently had a CC match where we would run 1 after the other into the enemies. Getting killed out of sync. Is there a name for this? At the end the worst player (died 3 times, no kill, no assists) spams "good job". No one talked during the match. Yes we might have had wintraders on our team or just bad timing. I should have written "assemble" or what that chat command is but no one did. So "good job" to you too Mr. Deadweight.

Lv90 Dungeon Roulette: Alzadaal's Legacy. Had a SMN offers a gratitude from a simple act of pulling mobs into their puddle. Why wouldn't tanks do that anyway?

Just for the giggles tho :

It's those "lol so you think I'm suck well ok f u."-responses that deters me from offering any sort of advices at all until shit really hits the fan. It seems this is the only way for people to take any advice at all. That is assuming if they don't immediately place the blame on somebody else lol.

[TabrisOmbrelame]

That's the most brilliant proposal i've ever seen since i've started playing in FFXIV.

Send help, I can't stop laughing ! xD

Queued as a MCH for alliance raid roulette: ended up in Ridorana Lighthouse. No biggie. However, by the time we started running to the first boss, my face drained at the telltale sign of server delay.

I didn't die until the last boss, fortunately ("I'LL TEAR YA LIMB FROM LIMB!"), but I made sure to not push my luck once again for the next raid that night. So, I moved on over to Aether.

Luckily, the service was better, and I experienced the fastest run of Rabanastre in my life. I think I know which data server I'm creating my femHrothgar alt on...
