Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent.

Two stories, both while leveling my Black Mage. Note that I run dungeons with friends for most of the time, but unfortunately one of my regular party members wasn't on. The others went as Astro and Monk:

#1, Stone Vigil. We got a lvl43 Pally. Without Shield Oath... Even after some prodding, with Shield Oath on auto-translate, the tank said that they hadn't doen the quest yet. He assured us it would be fine, but as you'd expect...
We managed to clear though, with either my Monk friend or me tanking :/

#2, Dzemael Darkhold. You'd think after the horror tank I'd had on Stone Vigil this would be better? Think again. Undergeared Dark Knight. Highest piece of gear on the left side was a lvl35 belt, and right side was all Weathered lvl1's. 2.8k hp, while my Astro friend (being a downscaled lvl60) had 2.6k hp. The tank was only using Grit, not using Darkside and spammed Unleash, which didn't help with my AoE's even with me popping Quelling Strikes every time is up. I'm still surprised we managed to clear ok, but it was not due the Dark Knight being good. There were some close calls, I can tell you that much.
