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

It looks like they finished BLM and are currently working on RDM. As of this posting they're sitting at 58. I can feel the hardcasting Scatter from here.

Edit: because I don't exactly feel like posting a link to the forbidden chart, I'll list off their casts after the first boss:

Oh that hurts to look at. And not in a good, burning my enemies to death kind of way. And while i dont feel like crunching any numbers, but even for doing it wrong that looks like doing it wrong. This certainly isnt a case where an extra wrong turns into a right. Im honestly surprised there arent a couple dozen Scathes in there for bad measure. So your guess is hardcasting Scatter... ill guess ignoring melee combo. I was never the best RDM and wouldnt pretend to advise someone past the basics(cast short to proc long, etc), but i can imagine a few ways to do it extra wrong.

Fffffine, I need some exp, I'll run Alliance roulette, I'll even tank because hey, you barely need to tank in CT right?

Aaand I'm dead to the first pull in LotA.

Ok, let's see why I died.. maybe I overpulled? Didn't use enough cooldowns? Maybe, I guess.... Wait... one of the healers is just barely hitting ilvl here. AF gear, yeah, I can't complain about that. Right side.. look, I know it's not contributing as much, but, c'mon. Level 29 earring and ring, second ring is still the Brand New level 30. Weapon isn't even level 50.

"Ok, I guess I do gotta try a little bit, healer gear is awfully low."

And the entire party jumps down my through for recognizing that?????

Healer sez: "Yeah, I know, I'm here cuz I need poetics for gear."

Yo, I'm pretty sure there's some gear options somewhere between ilvl 29 and ilvl 130.

Look, I know LotA is simple, frankly probably nothing would've changed with better gear. But getting shit on because I recognized some terribly low gear?

Nah, I don't need to run this that badly.

More like Tales of the party finder.
Last night i wanted to tackle Endwalker Garuda EX again (named it like that for spoiler reasons). Last time i went in it was a shitshow as my main job whm. Last night.. i broke the curse with my party. Cleared the EX trial for the first time ever.
I still died a lot during the chainpulls but overall i learned to understand the clusterfuck of mechanics a bit better.
Really really happy with that as i don't usually do EX trials

Unless they are terribly gil poor, they can buy crafted gear on the MB that would be better then what they had. Not really much excuse there.

Tbf, I wouldn't rule out free trial player, entirely possible. And sure, fine, if that's the case and they're doing nothing but MSQ, it's possible they've managed to accumulate fuckall gear.

But don't make that our problem, go put in some effort to find/make some gear. There's dozens of skipped sidequests along the way you could've done to upgrade that gear, without needing poetics, gil, or even market board access.

Queuing for something when you know your gear is that far behind is just plain rude.

Just another day in Bunker's alliance chat :3c

I've been asked to not refer to it as Yoko Taro's gooey ball.

Lvl 89 Duty. 20% Echoes because of multiple wype, still can't kill it. Why ?

Healer staying in front of the boss, eating the TB with me (Never stand with a Tank, that's a basic rules.)

Healer trying to play with destroyed stuff. 0 Stat, killed by anything.

DPS didn't care about mecanics, keeps getting hit by pretty much anything the boss throw at you.

0 Communication through the fight.

Looks like a bunch of player using the level 80 skip all teamed together, while not understanding what killed them AT ALL. (They even admitted they didn't know what killed them.)

Eyes must be on the boss, not on your skill bar. Thank you.

Watch, Learn and Resolve.

So a few of my friends have been trying to clear EO again for some time. We're still stuck on the floor 90 boss fight. There's just too many aoes going off while the lasers are happening, and we're eating vuln stacks as a result. Sometimes I wish the boss didn't poop out so many aoes during that segment.

I wish there was a way to practice that boss without having to go through that entire slog of 21-90 just to get back to them when we wipe.
