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

As a BLM, I really appreciate just how much our AoE options have been expanded. I love watching the huge numbers, love watching the entire pack melt down, even if I think the proc chance on Thunder II/IV really needs to be raised a touch.

Which is why there is just nothing more frustrating than having a tank pull two groups in a row, then proceed to stand right in between them so my AoEs only hit half the mobs instead of all of them. Just what every DPS wants to see.

This is one of the reasons I love that Holy is centered on the WHM and not on a mob. I hate it when this sort of thing happens with my Aero III. So frustrating.

It's more frustrating when a tank start to pull, begin to aoe them with flash/overpower/unleash, pop cds, begin doing their aoe rotation, then... nope, he changed he's mind and go grab another set just to see your casting got interrupted cause out of range and lose your enochain and ley line...

>Royal Margarine (I know what it's called)

I read it Royal Pomeranian...and its already craved into my brain.
Can't change that.I'd blame people that came up with all these unique name.
Thok arse Thok ?

It's probably sad that this has happened to me so many times that I don't even have the energy to get annoyed when it happens now.

was going to try running Fun Scaith for shits and giggles because why not plus you get newbies who might want to experience it for the first time
So I see this I'm like aww yeah see 3 tanks already waiting in queue shouldn't be so bad see image


time goes by its norm just get healers and dps in queue lol The queue was real but in the end it eventually popped,but I do want to thank the tanks who stuck through waiting all this time in queue for this run The run went really smooth with minimal deaths when we did finally did get into the instance

So. Omega 4. Other tank has 36k hp because he's wearing ilevel 270 strength accessories... needless to say he died to almost every tankbuster.

What's the point of taking str accessories if you can't even do your main job as a tank - surviving?

lol i hear ya. As a healer it utterly blows my mind. They have this whole reddit formula thing figured out but they really want to be a dps person. It's like me trying to heal a dragoon who wants to tank.

Thankfully, I havent ran into many tanks with the STR gear in Omega and the very few we did have, the party certainly let them have it

Had some good runs through Delta today. Cleared everything on my original group except 3.0 where we wiped at 2%. Infuriating! We abandoned after that. I queued again and got a much better group where DPS was noticeably improved. 1.0 was my 2nd attempt after I first tried yesterday. Healers yesterday were pretty terrible, so we only got down to 50%. Today's healers were the MVP of the run and did a great job! All the groups were polite except one snarky healer in 2.0 who was passive aggressive at me for failing a basic mechanic. I just didn't see the gather marker. Sue me.

3.0 was especially hilarious when she has you play an escape game. My character's current name is named after a major character from a series where you solve escape room puzzles. It gets even funnier at the conclusion of the set of raids where Omega starts testing how ordinary people become more powerful in a moment of crisis, a major recurring theme in the previously mentioned series. Oh, and there's even a character named Delta!

I had a run where our group started to die at 15%, resulting in only me and the other PLD being alive at 10%, where we continued to shoot her down to <1% just to die to an instant attack that killed us both from well over 40k HP life...
It was such a close run, people were going crazy over it. 2x PLD's are an awesome Combo. Clemency(?) is one of the best skills we ever got.

Was in a level 60 dungeon with someone who used a job boost potion. Tank.

He / She continued to use Flash 2 or 3 times in succession BEFORE even getting close to the mobs. Then just ran in and attacked one.
Needless to say, the tank never even generated any hate on the other mobs and everyone was getting attacked left and right.
It was awful.

Anyone else experience dreadfulness from players who just used a level boost potion?

[LordLucavi]

I got a couple jump potion people. When I was taking Red Mage up, had a jump tank who kept saying "but in wow it was blahblah". After the third time he mentioned wow while I was explaining How To Tank 101, we just vote kicked him and I had an fc tank join us.

When I tank the 60 dungeons, its quite amusing if it is a jump dps. You see random skills that aren't part of a rotation of any kind, and you can just see them like a puppy, saying "I did it! I did the thing!". Then you put on your crown and give them direction and when they get it and see the good numbers, they're so happy.
