Regular Ultima

Orange stack marker on of Healer!

But nobody came.



Me: "Guys??"

Bard: "I don't have res"

???

Had that happen to me when I got Porta Decumana for the Mogstone and decided to do it as a healer... Then you get to watch as they slowly run out of health because they can't heal or res.

So I've been trying to gear an alt with p9-12n gear to help her get caught up, and have been spamming the floors for a good chunk of the day. I've seen a total of 6 scrolls drop and every time they've dropped, I've been rolling nothing but 2s, along with low rolls on chest pieces.

Must pray and give offerings to the rng god!
I wish you luck! Hopefully you can finish your grind soon.

This is me right now. Do I dare feel hope, only to be crushed under the bootheel of cruel fate?

Ive been there a few dozen times. Ive not had the best results. Good luck!

Also, i would kill for a 9-point option to know which duty would give me the sticker i want.

[Fyrebrand]

Good luck!

Thankyou! I think you may have given my Luck stat just the boost it needed!



First time I've ever seen this since ARR launched, and it will never happen again, lol.

"i know i do this to give the dungeon more of a challenge lol"

I don't think they understand the word challenge at all.

Congrats! If memory serves, ive hit 3 lines exactly 3 times. And ive only missed 2 khloe books since they were added. Oh, and the first 3-line was under the old system where you got a specific item instead of a certificate. So one of my items was essentially useless - i believe it was a ninja top. I didnt get around to even unlocking ninja until 1 or 2 expansions later.

i recently came back to the forums (mistake, i know), and the last time i posted (before these more recent posts of mine all over the place) was in the original duty finder thread, about a time when i was running neverreap as dancer, on the last boss we wiped because healer got flung off, other dps got flung off, i was keeping myself and the pld up when curing waltz and shield samba were off cd, but i couldn't stay up indefinitely because of unavoidable aoe damage. we inevitably wiped at the boss being at like... 2%? because the pld refused to use clemency. at that time, i was promptly yelled at for suggesting the pld should have used clemency - that it was a waste of mp at that level.

when the boss was at 2%, and ONE USAGE OF CLEMENCY, NO MATTER THE MP COST, would have saved us a run.

funnily enough, i recently got into pretty much the exact same situation... as a pld. and one clemency let me secure the last couple of hits on the boss. and we won, without having to restart all the way over. weird how it wasn't a waste, huh?

anyway, i don't have any super specific stories, but i do have a lot more "kys disgusting lalafell" under my belt (the rate has gone up EXPONENTIALLY this year, naturally after i'm back from being burnt out, and am about to say screw it and unsub forever because the community has gotten so gross) and bards not using dots on trash packs.

in aetherfont (or really anywhere for that matter - i would ALMOST understand it, because why dot when mobs are dying SO FAST in almost every instance nowadays with people being so overgeared and the dungeons being so easy, you're not going to proc anything anyway, but this aetherfont run does sort of stand out for the reason that the mobs were dying. incredibly. slowly.)

yeah, i was getting almost 3 uses of assize at every single trash pack. wasn't fun.

but then there was the run in lapis (is lapis the one that ends with cagnazzo?) where i accidentally died to his pushback... i thought i was standing out of it... sorry for that one, healer. i... usually do that one with no mistakes, i... really have no excuse. nothing was distracting me on my end. i truly thought i was on the edge of it but i... think i had a combo up, stepped maybe a little too close to finish it and just... died. never died to it before. yeah.

edit: actually, i've remembered two more. a run of keeper of the lake with a... war tnk, i think? who acted like a trust npc. no words said, but every time a mechanic would happen, even one where he could feasibly keep attacking, he would just... stop until the mechanic finished. iirc, he was in raid-end gear. it wasn't bad, but it was just... odd. i mean like, yeah, i sometimes stop if i'm trying to remember a mechanic, but this was at every single mechanic in every single boss fight.

and then i had the tank in doma castle...

in shire gear.

who tried to do big pulls.

we never wiped. he did die once though, because i was simply out of cds and spamming him with shields + diagnosis when the shields were popping immediately was just not working. please don't do this. ironworks gear you can feasibly get to the vault on... i've actually healed the vault IN IRONWORKS (but i wouldn't really recommend that)... shire needs to be gone by bardam's.
