Mentors

[1313]

"Mentors are the worst" is something noobs say. I know lots of long time players with a full crown who don't remember how to play certain jobs, or know how certain systems work. They've just obtained the crown by playing for years. Some of these people are disabled, some have been gone for a long time and just returned, some are senior citizens, etc. I didn't see any specification as to which type of mentor was encountered in this run, and there's no details regarding the gear of tank or healer. So who knows who's to blame? For all we have been given, it's unclear who the real problem is. Blaming crowns cuz you had a bad experience and then got kicked just seems like you need to blow off some steam.

Why does it matter about the type of mentor, or gear? Trade mentors are often sprouts who didn't want to lose access to novice network chat. PvP mentors, don't need to explain that one. That, in addition to what I said earlier, are all various reasons that could be why you didn't get a kick ass healer who goes full ham on the pulls. Is your gear on par with that dungeon? What about the healer, and the DPS? Bardam's mettle is the gear check dungeon for SB, so if you try to w2w while lacking on gear, no matter if it is you or the party members, then efforts will fall short and wipes will happen. You need more than just aggro and heals to get through big pulls. If your dps hit like wetnoodles slapping a pillow, then you're gonna take a ton more damage and your healers resources will be spent along with yours. If you and the healer are undergeared, you'll be the one to melt. Seems that you didn't even look into the gear of anybody at all, and just went ham then got upset cuz you didn't win.

You gotta be attentive, and sometimes hitting the brakes and adapting is the best choice instead of fuming over a healer that didn't sync up with how you want to play the game. If you want better, focus on bettering yourself and your habits, your perspective, and be as helpful as you can to YOUR TEAM, not to your personal ideals.

Sorry if i seem like I'm shitting on you, it's not my intent. I'm just blunt, and offering you sound advice. Do what you will with it. Happy hunting o/

How is it that every time a Mentor gets in my instance they are always the worst one by far? Just had a Bardam's Mettle where a Mentor WHM couldn't keep me alive and I got kicked because I wasn't pulling as small as they liked, went back in later with another WHM and they had no problem keeping me alive.

Does anyone else notice that Mentors always are the worst or is this just me?

I mean while that dungeon is spicy, someone experienced should have no problem healing it if the tank isn't trolling with their mitigations.

That aside, just because someone's a mentor doesn't mean they're good at the game or their job. Commendations are easy to come by if you play long enough and aren't a measure of skill or 'doing well' because not everyone will judge and commend you based on your performance (or at all).

I do think you should've not kept pulling though when explicitly asked not to. Perhaps they weren't comfortable with the job (trying a new job) or experienced enough to be able to keep you alive. I can't say much about that since I didn't see your gameplay or theirs. Personally, speaking if we wipe to a big pull, I always ask to give it another shot because I sometimes know I mismanaged something or figured I could've used something, I do also understand that people might just want to be comfy and not suffer- I respect that (even if I prefer big pulls and get bored with small pulls).

I've seen many legends eat stacks and warm the floor too. There's alot of content in this game, human error is a thing, even if you're good at specific content. Doesn't mean you'll optimize for every dungeon.
