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

Hello, tank in my last expert roulette?
Yes, it is I, your Astrologian.
I'd like to remind you that cooldowns other than Hallowed Ground can be used for large pulls and not just bosses.
Thank you, have a nice day.

I actually have another Zurvan normal run I had a few days ago, and I want to thank the group for bearing with me on it. I was getting close to getting my WHM to lvl.70, but I had honestly never tried using it in a trial before because I'd been worried about how I'd do with a cohealer. But even though I'm still kind of learning, I figured I was probably ready to give it a try and jumped into trial roulette for some more experience, hoping for something a little less stressful. Unfortunately it was Zurvy.

I let the group know ahead of time I was still learning the job to give them a heads up, to which I was mostly met with supportive replies. It was a tricky one, and I know I made a few mistakes, some of which were because I'm not quite used to my current hotbar arrangements, but still. All in all I think I held my own, despite people dying before I even had a chance to target them. I probably could have timed out my aoe heals a bit better, but I hadn't done Zurvy since I first ran him months ago and didn't remember the exact battle script. We didn't wipe though, and I got half the comms, so I suppose I did something right.

It was beautiful! Ran a Snowcloak yesterday: WAR (me), 2 SAM, and a WHM. AOE was plentiful, heals were stellar, bosses melted like butter. I think we finished around 15 minutes. I think the two SAM were from JPN but damn they nuked mobs, few runs as clean as that so I was stoked.

With HoH being released today, a reminder: please don't be That Guy.

The guy who zergs through, does the absolute bare minimum and then sets up camp at the CoP and berates anyone who actually wants to look for silver chests or loot. The content is barely 10 hours old. Let people enjoy themselves instead of throwing a tantrum when they don't want to join in your speedrun.

Sometimes I just don't know what to say.

Been leveling my SAM, now in range of the Vault. Runs in there have been awesome, except this last one. The tank had 2k HP more than me. The healer was clad in mostly level 52 NQ healer gear, with one piece from the Vault (bracers, I think it was). The other DPS was a SAM that I don't know what they were doing with their gear. Most of it was old ARR gear, as in anything between ilevel 55 or so to 90. Weapon was the SAM starter weapon. They did less damage than the tank on bosses. Both the healer and the SAM had several other jobs at 70. The tank was a sprout.

First boss killed us 4-5 times because his jump attack would one-shot the healer, so game over if he targeted them - and he liked doing that.
Second boss we actually one-shot - with me left standing with ~50% HP and the tank down to a few hundred HPs.
Charibert.. went decently. We actually got him down to a few per cent left when we wiped.

Tank D/Ced, other DPS left. We refilled ranks with another DPS, I left and returned on PLD and got another DPS in my place, and we ground Charibert into a pulp. At 5% left I remembered I had Goring Blade.
Hey, it's been a while since I played my PLD. Like, beginning of Stormblood while =P

Please, people, I know dungeons are easy.

But still, do a gear check before you sign up in the duty finder. Please? Even if you're not a crafter it's not very much gil you have to fork over to purchase NQ gear in Ishgard that's better than the ilevel 90 gear from ARR..

Ran into a real piece of work while spamming HoH today. The moment he opened his mouth, he started rubbing me the wrong way.



I couldn't help but make the quip at the end when he had 3 vuln stacks, and that's apparently why he felt the need to re-assert dominance by pointing at his "the legend" title.

Real condescending ass.

We all know there is only one person in the world who deserve the title of legend. And his name is Scott Sterling

Was doing Heaven on High with my girlfriend earlier. Just to do the first 30 floors and get back into the swing of things and have some fun. We ended up in a party with me (SAM), her (RDM), pug 1 (DRG), and pug 2 (MNK). We were only on 11-20 and the four of us were moving together when my girlfriend steps on a Silence and Pacification trap. So this MNK runs into the next room and pulls everything, we all go in and try to save him and he ends up dying because our RDM is unable to heal him.

Immediately rage quits.

Thankfully we got a second RDM not even a second later and they were very pleasant and chatty.

I loathe the people who just want to rush to the door when it opens; like, at least poke your head into the next room to see if there's a chest WORTH getting. For that matter, some of us are new enough to HoH that we need the silver chests, and some actually like having the poms or summons. Heck, some of the people running to the door don't even bother with the chests that they pass, and the chests sometimes include items that might save more time than they spent skipping that chest (eg., Rage, Strength, Petrification). If a chest is beyond so many rooms or mobs, and you don't have the new poms to just run past everything without getting aggro or traps, then I can see the point of just heading to the door, but don't outright ignore the value of gold or silver chests. <_<

Also, Kall, that Mnk doesn't surprise me any. Could Selli have used an Echo Drop at that moment? Perhaps. Should anyone have relied on her to do so, or use that trap as the starting gun to go wild in a given HoH floor? Not without looking like an idiot. So that Mnk can go enjoy him(or her?)self. lol

Should have asked him how much he paid for that title
