Why are bards / Mechanists so... Sensitive? <_<

[Eidolon]

Had no problems in AK HM eariler today on my AST, I even did some DPSin' alittle bit. I've also speed run/mass pulls of CC/DD/AV (lvl Sync'ed) and have done most of the older DF's as speed runs too.

I have had people in my FC comment on bad AST's ... but I feel I do just fine with it and rarely have problems with wipes caused by lack of heals.

You can really tell the good AST's from the bad AST's based on how they handle their buffs and healing. I think Stance also affects it a little, but I'm not sure which of the two is stronger.

All I know is, Library, I've run with a Warrior tank, and on one of the runs had an AST with the audacity to say "Warrior can't handle this pull"... when we could easily handle it with a good WHM or SCH. It was pretty amusing to watch them try to blame it on being a Warrior.

I think good AST's are great and will really prove themselves in time. 'sides, they give me red cards for days.

The Stance depends on the fight I think, I've often switched back and forth between trash and bosses, depending on what I know about the boss and what I think would handle better if S*** hit the fan. The cards are by far the most RNG part, but I do not try to rely on them as if they are life or death, I use them as an extra boost to a fight instead of something I need in order to keep it together.

I donno what the deal was, I just know when we got to the last boss he had issues keeping up with the damage, and the issue went away when he did :/ Do mind that I don't dislike Astrologians. It's probably the healer class I'm a work up to 60, and I'm DPS/TankDPS4Life, but there have been times I've found them to be under powered for the task at hand, and I find that concerning for a new class, especially an interesting one like Astrologian, or Dark Knight which I've been since early access. I love it, though there are times it feels a bit weak ...

every class has certain people its like walking on eggshells around.. most sensitive ive come across is tanks...

for example yesterday got a first time tank after 2 wipes on final boss i suggested he stand off to the side so less tentacles hit him and its less draining on the heals.. talk about the sh*t storm he threw at me about hes a tank all he has to do is stand there its the healers fault hes dieing blah blah blah.. 3 wipes later he took my advice n we finished the run.. healer goes see what happens when u listen to advice of those that have ran the dungeon b4?? then another abusive sh*t storm started from the tank this time targettin the heals lmao

Just grow up and stop poking fun at strangers. They may have had a bad day and this just shows your lack of social skills. Jokes are fine, but jokes that poke fun at people or their attributes are best left to your personal friends.

Those that have never, ever been offended by anything anyone said in their whole lives, may continue to poke fun at strangers. And you shall realize how stupid you sound now soon.

@OP: The first time you meet new people is generally not a good idea to pull a stunt like that.

Also, just because you rubbed 4 people the wrong way doesn't mean every Bard/Machnist is throwing a sensitive hissy fit. That's called generalizing. It's a bad foundation for an argument imo. o:

Why would you insult the person who plays you Ballad, OP? ._.

My mains are Dragoon and Warrior, my immortality is attatched solely to my ability to pop Bloodbath, Second Wind, and Keener Flurry \o/

I dunno, I don't find it insulting, but I've also entered into dungouns where the first words out of peoples mouthes are "Oh hey guys, no worries, we have a dragoon to tank the floor for us." Personally in my eyes, I don't see any issue with teasing the other jobs. XD But I suppose I can see a number of people's points here - that it's hard to tell it's teasing/playing with a neutral tone of the internet.

Still, I think people are just -way- too sensitive.

Well you're not everyone else. Your humour isn't the same as everyone elses.
If you know Job's are in hell right now, telling a lame joke like
that to people whom you know not of, is bad.
Just be a little more mindful y'know?
