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

Just get Flame and Fruit. Then activate the puzzle. The results will be faster still.

Eh not really.. takes about the same time actually. Cast bar for all three vs Kill 3 mobs. I think of it as a "don't feel like fighting them" option.

When healers are more worried about throwing stones than healing/raising the rest of the party...at least throw a Regen, it's literally the least you could do!

Just had a run of Akadaemia Anyder where one of the BLM's AoE rotation was Freeze > Fire 3 > Fire 2 > repeat. No Flare or Thunder IV in sight, although they were using Enochian so there was the occasional Foul at least.

Their single target rotation was: Thunder 3 -> Fire 3 -> 3 x Fire 4 -> Freeze -> repeat. Sometimes they would use Tranpose instead of Freeze to switch to ice stance. No Blizzard 3, Blizzard 4 or Despair in sight, although again at least they were using Enochian so there was the occasional Xenoglossy.

I tried suggesting that they use Flare instead of Fire 2 since they would do far more damage, but they either didn't see it or ignored it. The other BLM was doing average dps (everything looked good with their rotation, but they didn't have any melds) so I just facepalmed IRL and settled in for the slowest run I've ever had. I think Quetzalcoatl jumped 5 times during the final fight it was that slow. It would have been slower, but me and the tank DPS our hearts out to try and make up for it at least a little bit.

Can you please stop leaving everytime Monastery pops? It is achange after Labirynth and Syrcos every damn day. But of course, you on't want to do mechanics or thing.

FOr real, too much talk in the forums about how people make you waste time, how important you time is (but not others time of course), but not caring about fuck other players with your acts.

Why the hell you roll on roulette if you have no intention to do it?


This communty is becoming more a more toxic every day. And stupid. Pay 11€ month to withdaw for every duty.

If someone wants to withdraw that’s their choice, they pay a sub too.

If someone wants to withdraw that’s their choice, they pay a sub too.

The issue here is that I'm pretty sure the monastery queue is bugged if someone immediately withdraws. I've had several instances that just never refilled after someone left at the beginning and in one case had several people actively trying to get people in to fill the empty spots, only for it to put them into new instances altogether. It really wouldn't be so annoying otherwise.

Everytime I queue für E1 normal either to help FC mates or to get my weekly token I know I'm in for some A+ headless chicken chaos.
I'm starting to feel like savage is easier than normal because everything is coordinated with assigned positions and such.
Meanwhile in normal:
- let's stack with 5 people in one corner and wiggle from left to right and back to make sure we bomb each other during Delta
- let's run around (bonus points for flailing arms) during orb phase and and bait all the aoes behind the boss, making sure everyone gets either killed by the stacked aoes or Pure Light
- OTs don't need tank stance, it's much more fun to watch the 2nd add cleave the raid. And yes, I'Ve seen "Unto Dust" finish on normal (:
No matter where I run for Delta or orbs in hopes of having a quiet spot to myself, I always get tailed by several people and end up half-dead or full-dead.
Also, if the whole raid scrambles to get behind the boss during a really long cast that's kind of a pointer that maybe it's good idea to do the same. But I always see that one person still casting right in front of the boss.

The ice mage phenomenon continues! Two BLMs in Susano for trial roulette spamming blizzard 3 for the whole fight. Why do people play a class they don't understand??

Honestly it's more along the lines of: It takes marginally longer to do, but it's what everyone expects. So skipping the entire process throws people off.

I'm more concerned with having a smooth dungeon experience than I am necessarily concerned about finishing the dungeon 2 minutes faster.

It’s not bugged, people purposely lower their item level when queuing for roulette. So they’ll always get CT raids instead of the higher leveled.
