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

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.

I don't get your point to be honest. Did your group wipe because Selene was in use and not Eos? And isn't it the scholar's decision which pet they summon? I made the experience that Selene is fully enough in most situations, even for big pulls, and Fey Wind is indeed amazing, so... why did you want her to use Eos instead?

Btw, the reply "...fey wind?" can also mean that this scholar wanted to say "are you really that stupid to ask me this?" It's quite hard to get the actual intention of a phrase if you don't have more than the written word.

Uh...I can kinda see why you'd think that might be a bad choice but its not.

You can use either fairy really.

A skilled SCH doesn't need Eos' healing buffs to add DPS + keep tank alive for big pulls. In that case Selene's buff that affects the whole party is likely a bit better since you increase the SCH's spell casts for faster DoT application + healing, Selene also casts her Embrace a bit faster, and the rest of the DPS in the party also get a bit faster AoE's going off.

Whispering Dawn + Illumination keeps tank up so you can DPS but doesn't help the rest of the group, but you might be able to DPS longer so if you can do as much damage as the DPS then its a wash. If you don't do as much damage as a DPS then Selene would have been better since either fairy you use you will have time to DoT + Bane.

I see, thanks for correcting me.

A battle on the big bridge story:

I was a whm and he usually targets bards with confusion so I was being attacked by the same bard like three times.

I ask them: 'What did I ever do to you? o-o'

And they go: "You stole my wife, you bastard!'

And then after the fight was over:

Bard: "Just because I don't have a tail...'

(they were on Hyur and I on my Au Ra)

I join a group for Amdapor Keep. We're doing just fine; I'm dancing between Cleric Stance and ... Non-Cleric Stance to deal some nice hard-hitting damage and shed some healing sweeter than a springtime breeze at the same time.

About halfway through the run, the Paladin starts using Sword Oath instead of Shield Oath, and proceeds to pull 2 - 3 groups at the same time.

I can no longer DPS. I start to think he was getting bored, and, truth be told, he says "Man this place nerfed is boring". Ah-ha. Well, power to him, yeah?

Well, no. He's using Sword Oath, and pulls 2-3 groups; his health dropped faster than a goobbue turd in Bronze Lake. The end result: take a guess.

I proceeded to waste my Swiftcast/Raise on him. Instead of accepting the Raise and saving the whole group, he releases back to the beginning of the duty, allowing the rest of us to succumb to the hordes and hordes of beasties doing Gods-know-what to us.

We carry on. I look at his nameplate. On comes the Sword Oath. Great, I say to myself.

Boss goes great.

The tank thanks us with "Nobody likes a healer who doesn't DPS "

And leaves.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've been healing a lot of early dungeons to help with all the recent sprouts and queue times. I especially liked the group where the tank just ran up to the closest coral in Sastasha and pressed the button. After we were done dealing with the jellyfish, two others ran and immediately pressed the other buttons.

Was very amusing. Just press all of them at once!

Seeing lots of good stuff grinding out this relic, tidbit that just happened:

Everything seems to be going fine in A4(I'm MT), aside from a heals dying at the start. They recovered.

Final phase, whats probably the last set of lasers, DRG gets in and keeps hopping around for positionals, I buff and try to take one, but not with him ducking and weaving. He stands right on two other DPS and all three die. Lucky those heals pulled through and raised everyone but the loldrg.

At least three fail runs a day from dps totally ignoring adds in A4, most times as MT it seems I have to kill two...

Running into a PLD from my server who didn't nothing but call everyone losers, and to kill themselves...

A healer that brought all three lasers to me as MT when I was at half health...

Above healer told everyone the mechanics wrong and got very angry when I asked if he had actually run it before. He also stacked on the other healer for Nisi and said there was no way to avoid it.

The troll bard who came in with a friend and pulled as soon as the shield dropped and put the bombs on the whole group. His friend (i assume EB partner from the name) a MNK that wouldn't go to dolls because they were moving, then proceeded to lip everyone off....

Vault, it should be the place where bad players get rooted out but no.

Me(noobNIN) and bf (PLD) que and get BLM and WHM. Everything goes OKish, but my WHM senses are tingling and notice WHM is always low on MP. Why? He only uses Med II, Cure II or III. Doesn't Esuna any of us or Regen and when he uses Stoneskin II, he pops ALL HIS CDS, Shrouds, Presence of Mind, Divine Seal.

I try asking him for Regen for tank but no response. And last boss me and bf are really scared and more focused on dodging than doing derps. We somehow manage and I check this person and see he has ALL JOBS to 60, except WHM. Even AST and SCH(I know SCH can be SMN BUT STILL).

Needless to say that WHM didn't get my com.

Oh, it's pretty normal for that kind of stuff to happen at Sastasha, don't judge them. It's their first dungeon and probably their first time in a normal composition party. It may even take them a few more dungeons to figure out some stuff. We've all been there in some way or another.
