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

Omg I did this before too...I felt soooo dumb. I really hoped he died before they noticed I was falling so I could play it off & be cool <.< He didn't.

I was on discord with a bunch of people in my party. It did not go unnoticed xD We were all practically crying and couldn't focus on playing that well

It's begun...

Queued as a SMN for PoTD and was quickly matched with a PLD, MCH, and a fellow SMN. The barrier hadn't even gone down before the PLD demanded a wipe. "There's no healer, not worth it." The rest of us were pretty dumbfounded. Us SMNs could BOTH heal... "Doesn't matter, wipe us." The paladin wouldn't budge no matter how we asked, and when we got to the passage, he refused to step in for us. "Wipe us or I'll watch Netflix and let you have fun." I honestly wish we hadn't kicked him just because I'd have loved to inconvenience him just as much as he had us, but we were all just ready to get through the dungeon. We all reported him ASAP (thanks to the GM who replied!) and finished the run with a few minutes to spare. The other SMN got our comms for one-manning the boss from 10%-0% like a champ, and we all celebrated with cheers.

So fellow Eorzeans, PoTD is not difficult. Do not make your teammates suffer just because you haven't outgrown your tantrum phase.

First room of floor 26 (PotD):
Load in to the floor, move to the first hallway, tank pulls a centaur to us... suddenly a Skatene appears behind us, and aggros on. It uses sleep, we all go out. Then a second one comes along and uses sleep right as the first is wearing off. Tank's dead at this point, and they start going after the DPS. We retreat to the first room as I try to raise the tank; a third sleep lands after swiftcast but before I can use Raise; it wears off just in time though (so I can throw out the raise), but one of the DPS is now dead and the other is running from a Skatene (the other one was on me). Tank gets up and takes aggro, I heal him for a bit, and then another Skatene finds us. I start slow casting raise on a DPS. The DPS gets up, we kill the first one, but a fourth Skatene appears. Sleep resistance was gone by now, as we're all taken out again. The tank goes down once more, shortly followed by the DPS I just raised. At this point, I'm sprinting around the hole in the middle of the room, as Selene heals me. Throw another swift raise at the tank, he gets up and retakes aggro, then a minotaur finds me. I bring it to the tank, and continue healing. Locate the other DPS, slow raise him as Selene heals the tank... and get interrupted by sleep. I had roused Selene by this point, so she was still able to heal while I was out (luckily). Swift raise one DPS, slow raise the other one; they're now actually stunning the casts. Just killing the last one, and suddenly two more come out of passages and aggro on. By this point we're all angry at them, and they do not last very long.

I am now going to dub that incident "Owl-mageddon"... I don't know how we survived it, but somehow we did

[SpiritMuse]

Had a 4 dps run of floors 41-50. Fortunately I was a smn so out comes Titan and we had a tank of sorts. Two of the floors we had a "no auto-heal" debuff. And no healer. Somehow we survived. We got the final boss down to less than 10% before she wiped us... What killed us was that we kept getting caught by her hypnotize, and then failed to avoid the rune-creating aoes. Other than that the damage was somewhat manageable with my crappy summoner heals.

I was on deep dungeon floor 49 with a ramdom party and no healer

One of the members asked to another one ( possible pre made party), "can we wipe? I dont have my full upgrade", the orther member said "sure". So both grabbed as much mobs as they could and triger any trapp they could. Both died very fast, me and the remaining member try our best to handle the situation but we ended died to. So it was a duty fail.

[Ferth]

Lesson? Pull the Monsters out of their Room if you're in a Corridor as you're safe from any Traps there, if not, tell your Healer to stay behind the others... if everyone gathers together and hold hands with each other... it's no surprise you gonna have a hard time.

Rule number one of Deep Dungeon?

No clumping up like a J.V. Soccer team!

Hope you reported.

Hope you reported.

Thats what I did

[UnstablePersonality]

Thats what I did

Glad you did because that's just some pathetic crap right there...lol same with those that are purposely wiping parties on the last boss.

Deep dungeon on floor 49. I get a little greedy while the party had finished clearing out the mobs in a room with a silver chest. I move towards it and trigger a mine so without thinking I open the chest. The chest proceeds to explode and nearly wipes the entire party with the healer fortunate enough to be standing just out of range. A few raises later and some laughs we Edda and clear.
