Ranting of a disappointed player (?)

[Amatsuhira]

So I decided to recently return to the game, with the intention of preparing for Heavensward. Great deal and all right? That is until I forget that there's some few individuals that are just... completely brain-dead or just mentally incapable of understanding the game by 35+. My apologies if I'm 'flaming' or something but I feel the need to relate and/or rant to... SOMEONE, so people at least understand how frustrating it is to deal with that kind of behavior.

WHM - Basically thought he was a DPS and kept using stone every chance he got instead of healing me.

BLM - Trigger happy finger on LB button. Used it every chance he got, even at Lv 1 at the beginning of the boss.

BRD - Ignored my numbered targets and drew aggro needlessly for the entire run.

Is this a common thing to deal with nowadays in game? :/

Yes, i have noticed players love to disregard tank and then troll them if they ask it to stop. Having to spam dungeons for tomes and crap for relic quest has turned people into bitter izombies who just want to get whatever they are doing done and to hell with you because, ugh...
Instead of people making PF groups for speed runs they just DF it and treat others like crap as if it their right. If people feared for their lives more and lost exp for dying maybe they'd tone down the attitudes a bit.

I think that perhaps your expectations are a little skewed due to being away from the game. First of all, the blm was the only dps in that party that COULD use a damage limit break. So exactly who did you want to use it if not the blm and when if not when it was ready?

Second, White Mages have been beaten up so darn much to DPS MOAR that it's almost automatic now. Expect it and use your cooldowns appropriately. Keeping you alive is a team effort, NOT just the healer's responsibility, and I find it very hard to believe that a white mage who knows enough to stance dance was truly shirking his or her responsibilities. There's something in there you aren't telling us.


You don't even have one job at level cap, so that probably means you are rocking lower level gear. It might not have even been level appropriate and it's possible that you just pulled more than you could handle and the mobs got in a couple lucky crits. It happens and it's not necessarily the healer's fault. Same deal with regards to the bard pulling threat. Could he have backed off? Sure. Did he need to in Haukke? Nah.

In short, I think you should gain a little more experience before complaining about how bad other players are.

^Not defending but LB pulls are annoying.

We do that all the time when we were progressing through coil when 2 bar LB was still up after a wipe. Due to enmity on LBs, it's a good pull for bonus damage and takes no real effort on the tank to pick it up. Especially if wipe was at 1% or less :P

I main as tank and have a war and pld. When I'm not tanking if a tank marks targets I will use them but tbh I never have to mark targets and almost never lose aggro. My suggestion would be to practice and get used to rotating your emnity combo and flash on all the mobs as above 50 there is no target marking.

Doesn't mean dps don't try to pull agro. It's like a mini game sometimes. Used to make me laugh but now it's gotten old.

Using lb at the start of a boss fight is usually better imo cause then you can start building it up again to get it ready for next boss.
I get more annoyed when people lb a boss at 1%

Not in Sastasha (hard) 2nd boss. You want the LB to be ready the moment the boss's hp is at 25-28%

Hence the "usually"
I usually use caster lb on that boss when he leaves and lots of adds joins. Mainly cause its fun seeing all of them die from one attack!
