I have to admit...I don't know what DR in your reference means either. First thing that pops up when I see DR is Daily Roulette...too many words using same acronyms...T.T

I'm guessing they're referring to "diminishing returns"

Yar...I mean at first, after reading the post about DR. Thank you though for trying to clarify that.

english lessons

And of course you assume, that everyone who plays this game has english as their native language.

P.S. нихуя

Yeah uh.. that just makes you all look like awful people and I am 100% glad I was not there. Why post that here????

It actually makes them look like really friendly people... most of the roulettes are boring while they had some fun together.

I feel very bad about the fun my party had yesterday, I mean, we dared to have the wrong opinions AND had fun while discussing them? I feel so ashamed... ;^)
Nice post, I'm being serious here.

I've run Wiping Shitty twice today, as SCH. Combined, those two runs took over 3 hours of my day.

Both times, I've landed with other SCHs as my co-healer, who were either new to the dungeon or truly sucked ass at playing this job. And at healing in general. Concepts as simple as using Selene for AoE cleansing, or indeed, cleansing debuffs at all seemed to be entirely foreign to them.

But let's not even talk about the first run, which took over an hour. No, instead, let's reminisce about the second run, which ended with less than 20 minutes left on the clock.

I have never had to raise a co-healer this many times, at Arachne Eve. I had to solo-heal a tank who repeatedly pointed Dahak's tail at the rest of the raid, even after being specifically told not to, and who wouldn't look away from Mortal Ray. I had to find out, in the middle of fighting Forgall, that the co-healer was new and did not know anything at all about the mechanics. We only got past Forgall because of the SMNs who just went into an utterly unbelievable chain of ressing.

Ozma was not fun. I'm sure it doesn't need to be said. I had to explain mechanics while on the run. Before we finally booted him, the tank failed to pick up adds in the Doomsday phase, twice, killing me. After specifically being told again and again that I would eat the orbs, this SCH runs straight into another orb while I'm healing myself from eating the last orb, causing it to explode and kill us both. Which lead to another wipe.

We spent almost a full hour just trying to clear Ozma. We only managed it after every last member of my alliance, except for me, was replaced. And even then, this new co-healer, also a SCH, refused to help me cleanse bleed off at any point, no matter how much I asked them to. I had to raise them a bunch of times, too!

And even after all this, I didn't get my healer jacket. It didn't even drop. I didn't even manage to get the Calofisteri minion. Just... just, WHY?

Deep Dungeon. 2 groups.

First is me (WHM), a PLD, and two DPS. Floor 30.
Seems great!

First room, bronze chest. Tank and 1 DPS ignore it and move to the next room. The other DPS opens the chest.
Mimic.
DPS dies, I die, tank and other DPS run back, both die.
Duty Failed.

Second group:
The same PLD, me, two Monks.
Floor 30. PLD runs into the first room. Attacks the first mob. Another mob spawns behind her. It aggros the tank. Tank runs away and pulls a 3rd mob by accident.
But the tank doesn't hold any hate on those mobs. They attack DPS. DPS die, tank dies, I die.
Duty Failed.

However, after that I went to Aquapolis with 6 FC members, and we had 20 doors open IN A ROW!

I never leave a chest behind in Deep Dungeon. Unless we're on floor x9 and we really don't need eny more poms. The bronze chests I never ignore because 1- useful potions that save the day 2- potsherds. Low drop rate on sherds I know but the potions are such a blessing when you have a party with no healing abilities. Also, I never leave someone alone to open a chest in case there's a mimic. Since I play on ps4 and chatting without kb is very inconvenient inside the Palace, I made a macro for party chat just for when a mimic pops so my party comes to the rescue. But yeah, people, never ignore bronze chests!

[Atoli]

Yeah, so many people don't even know that potsherds drop from bronze chests.. :/
Also, if I have a wipe-happy party (and often no healer around) getting to refill the single allowed phoenix down is a blessing you can only get from bronze chests as well.

As for potions, you can bring them in from outside though, and BECAUSE PotD gives them out in crazy amounts just about any potion costs 1-2 Gil in HQ on the MB^^
But yeah, silver and bronze chests - always open, if anything, I leave gold chests behind.

Now, not trying to be rude, but how did you as a healer die to a single mimic / have the entire party die to 3 mobs even IF aggro was all over the place?
Both are things that you can usually heal through, especially on lower floors where monsters don't have nasty extra skills yet ._.
Sincerely wondering, not trying to insult you or anything.
