People forcing SRs in DF

[Amocoru]

He probably queued up on his DPS while he shouted for an hour and couldn't get into a run because he wasn't a BRD or BLM. If I don't do WP SRs with my FC I can't get into any parties on my DRG even though it's VERY well geared. I'm almost full Myth/Allagan 330+ DPS my Doom Spikes crit anywhere between 500-600 but newp....gotta shout while in queue because I don't give TP or have infinite mana.

*cry cry wah wah* This thread is filled with a bunch of cry babies...

Firstly, this thread was started about forced SRs in DF. you came in here and dropped your 2 cents. You are the one that is not understanding the topic. Tonberry's to birds>beetles to pugils+grease>then to the door does not equal a SR. that is a normal run. This is about people DFing and expecting/forcing SR type pulls. Under-geared tanks running from the start to the mobs after the beetles(usually before swiftcast+prot & ss can be cast) then bitch cause they wipe. can I heal that. HELL YES! do i want to heal that with an nearly fresh 50 tank and possible fresh DPS. No. That is what we are saying, nothing about hating efficient runs

I force a semi speed run on people when tanking , I'll pull to bats , then 2 more groups + 1 tom , then 2 groups to boss . If BLM in group I would skip trash but 90% of the time they are sleeping themselves and don't sleep .

So many times ive had to fight first boss with adds because of dumb BLM.

However if someone complains about me going to slow I will give them speed beyond their wildest dreams , and they will die .

WP Tanks take note. This is how its done when you duty finder it. Also you have to be a terrible healer if you cant heal 2 groups of mobs... It really takes no effort in a semi-speed run which I consider a quick run which I do all the time.

I think the confusion with people here is speed, quick and normal. OBV with speed run you would have a full geared party with relics... otherwise you are just wasting your time. I shout for speed runs in toll. A quick run is pulling two groups which cant burden anyone if you have an aoe dps there. Now if you have a party with two melee jobs then by all means do a normal run which would be killing mobs where they are not pulling extra. This thread is filled with a bunch of cry babies...

I'll make sure to take note next time I DF WP and I get 3 people in AF because WP is the next progression, I will pull and play as if they know what a speedrun is when I can tell they barely started lvl 50 content by the message that appears "you have people new to this duty". I will pop sprint and run to boss gate. Expect them to hit boss and sleep mobs while the mobs get locked out and I can continue my speed run. This is a great idea. And nothing can go wrong and if it does it's because they are bad and of no fault of my own.

Oh and saying that the minimum I should do is ask if a speed run is ok, makes me a cry baby, and my ego is hurt so I cannot do that.

Ok then my bad. I thought this was about people hating on efficient runs. If the tank is fresh 50 and people are forcing speed runs meaning pull 4+ groups then thats just retarded.

Its a completely different story if there are people new to the duty...

I flag up for WP DF as WAR with my wife on SCH. This set up already means we can't do a true speed run.

My War is adequately geared (relic and all but 2 DL - this isn't my 'main') and my wife's SCH is better geared.

Consequently, I can set the speed of the run and I do so based on the party makeup.

Largely i90? As close to a true speed run as my gear allows
All relics? 2-3 groups per pull.
i-level 60-70 and no BLM? 2 groups per pull (give or take)
2 new players who've never done it before? 1-2 groups per pull and explanations before bosses.

The worst runs don't take 15 minutes longer than the best runs and the fact that I get insta-queues means I can afford to take my time with new players. I think a DD is the last person who should be concerned with how long a run takes. How much is 2-3 minutes really when you're waiting 30 mins between runs?

I forced a speed run on a fresh healer , he did quite well too . It made me think that the healers I have in good gear that have got me killed aren't really that good .

WHM is definitely best healer for speed run btw , the fairy will heal me and pull agro most of the time before I even flash once . Unles of course they control the pet .

exactly . and the only reason I run semi SR in DF is to practise for full SR .

Yeah, i had that happen once, tank forced a SR, i healed it, towards the last boss, i make one error and get called everything but a person, told to learn my class or role a DD. Yeah. Tanks and DD forget....we litterally hold their life in our hands.....
