tunnel vision

[lxChrisxl]

i realize it's a problem for some of you but please for the love of god work on it. it can make some runs really annoying.

example: in a levi ex run you have a ninja that has the wrong venom on and keeps stunning. you tell them to switch and you tell them again and again....and again. it takes nearly four or five wipes for them to finally switch and stop messing things up because they can't multitask.

actually i probably could have said ramuh and left it at that

I can't say I'm immune to tunnel vision, (ask the 1st boss in AK HM) but it can really wreck a run. Levi EX is a great example, if people are throwing out stuns all willy-nilly you're most likely fish food. My healer buddy has problems with tunnel vision, but a few strategic changes to the HUD has been a huge help.

Be more patient with them. 4 or 5 wipes is no reason to get upset and QQ about it. You are actually fortunate you got someone who learned it in 4 or 5 wipes and is trying adapt. You'll probably need more than 500 wipes to clear T9 with random people you find on the DF.

Why would you engage again until you've discussed what the issue was last time?
It shouldn't take another run for the ninja to notice you were speaking to him. But if you just jump right into the fight again it's not his fault for following suit.

At least the ninja remembered to put poisons on, this issue of poison getting removed each time you leave duty since 2.5(I don't wanna call it a bug since I'm not sure if it's an intentional thing or not) launched, 9/10 ninjas I group with (myself included from time to time) spend a good portion of the instance without poisons on because they're not used to having to keep thinking about it. But yeah, I agree with Canadane, if there's an issue, you should address it between wipes rather than just keep going over and over again with the problem persisting

4-5 runs to switch poison (which is just a toggle) after being repeatedly told to do so isn't trying very hard. It sounds more like the ninja was being obstinate.

Besides the ninja poison vanishing between dungeons (guilty as well) I find most of the Crystal tower bosses tend to suffer from Tunnel Vision as well. I don't know if the phases last too long or if people just spam the fights too many times in a row but it's very very easy to just zero in on the boss and completely forget all of the other mechanics.

i used to try and helped people with things like t5/9 in duty but i stopped for another reason other than tunnel vision but that's a different subject. it's just one example from one run though. multiply that and it gets really annoying. also QQ needs to die as a thing, so silly.

me and the tank told them to change multiple times before the tank would start the fight and during the fight. even explained why we were telling them to switch venom's and when they finally changed they said sorry and said they focus too hard and don't look at chat. which is a problem in mmo's

It was a bug, and has been addressed in the recent maint. thankfully

As a tank, runs take too long if you let players argue in between each pull. Especially since people rage at each other in the same way that the OP originally phrased his post. I don't want people to start a fight and rage quit, so I would rather just pull again.

I haven't levelled NIN, but I fail to see how running the wrong buff on 1 DPS class would wipe even Levi Ex. One DPS isn't that important.
