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

A1. The DPS part of the group consists of a monk, a dragoon, a ninja and myself on bard. I'm not parsing but according to the overall aggro and the time we needed to kill Faust (we almost wiped...) I was the top DPS o.o
We reach the Oppressor and I take aggro after my opener (I didn't use Quelling Strikes so I'm not utterly innocent, but on the other hand I never had to use it before), I facetank it about half a minute before the paladin takes it back. Then the scholar goes afk and dies while the first adds appear which I take care of alone. During the second set of adds I get the mini debuff, rockets explode, we wipe. The scholar is still afk, the ninja says "this run tho", and a votekick with the reason "offline" starts - but it's not the scholar about to get kicked, it's the ninja o.o It even goes through - probably people don't even read the name of the person who is getting kicked, they blindly hit "yes" o.o After the kick everyone leaves until it's only me and this afk scholar. Well... ... ...bye dude.

To be honestly my pasttime is seeing which DF tanks I can steal aggro from on my bard with my opener......
It's pretty fun (I give it right back)

If someones starts that Falcon Punch nonsense, just type "I won't stop my wombo combo to Falcon Punch anyone". If they insist in this bullshit, spam " OOOOOOH OOOH WHERE YOU AT" at the chat. I'm sure they will think you're in their bullshit and let you alone. Otherwise, just leave.

I had the worst VA run I've ever done tonight.

To spare you the horrible, boring details, let's just say that at one point 3/4 of the alliance was dead to the first boss.

Geez is this a duty finder stories thread or a discussion about a party of 13 years olds?

Both, usually.

Leveling roulette.

Ended up going into an in-progress Satasha normal mode as a Bard. Noticed that the tank was gone, and the conjurer and puglist present were new to the game. Apparently the tank ragequit on them for some reason after the second pull. Since it was Satasha normal, I knew another tank wasn't gonna show up anytime soon (I'm of the belief that in roulettes, the game will throw tanks into the dungeon closest to their level), so I decided to take up the painful job of tanking for the party.

It actually went REALLY well, no wipes/deaths, although I guess it helps that Bards are very good at taking/holding enmity from everyone else in the super early game dungeons. I can't fathom why the tank would have left besides sheer impatience or IRL stuff creeping up.

(...I have the weirdest roulettes...)

I had a fun Brayflox's longstop normal the other day, the group wanted to go straight to bosses so as the tank I avoided all the mobs I could between the first and second boss. One of the DPS DC'd and was replaced, his replacement ran straight across the map and aggro'd every single mob, the healer tried to save him and I tried to save the healer so we all got aggro. He even managed to type "sorry guys, tagged a couple" as about 20 mobs decended on us and wiped us out in about 3 second flat. All I could do was laugh.

Pharos HM, SCH had Selene for the entire dungeon, even during big pulls. When I asked her why she wasn't using Eos her reply was "...fey wind?". Funny how she didn't even seem sure of it herself.
