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

That BLM is an idiot. The healing requirements in the dungeon are minimal at best, and you being on AST means Balance and Arrow. Bandwagon or not, that BLM should be jumping for joy.

I am not sure how your PLD was pulling, but it is pretty easy to mass pull in the new dungeons. If you two are even close to 240 gear (I heal on my alt which is mid 230's), then you should have very little problem mass pulling. My friend pulls everything and I hit "rouse" on my faerie and DPS. The roused faerie is enough to solo heal a large pull.

I'm 243 on AST. My sister was PLD at 236. It was our 2nd time in that dungeon, so we wouldn't know what kind of pulls other tanks do. But we can for sure try bigger pulls next time. And I'm sure I could heal her just fine through them. Besides I'm pretty sure I've healed worse and never went OOM. Oh and I did look them up and they didn't even have AST unlocked, so I guess they just don't like AST.

PoD in midnight. 3 DPS 1 Healer, floor 41-50.
41-49 the run was rough--traps were deadly, healer seemed out of form. Once I was slowly killed by a mob and he stood aside, did nothing until my fallen. As we finished 41-49 finally, np.
Then Edda. For the sake of the 3 bronze chests we got, I wished we go well.
No tanks, I proceeded instead. Take it easy, I told myself, a smart healer would help.
Nothing went wrong until Edda cast scare(forgot the skill name). We scattered in a mess.
Soon we wiped, after AOE twice, during when no healing came(my potion was in CD). What was the healer doing? At first I guessed I ran too far; while looking at others' HP, nobody got healed, including the healer himself. So what happened actually??
...Well, in a word we failed, 3 chests--gone, effort--naught. It might be time's bad--we should not play with Edda at a moment everyone was drowsy. Forget that healer. Maybe God sent him to tell us not to stay up.

Cold Feet is the name of the skill that makes you run around randomly.

You turn away from her to avoid it.

Yeah yeah, right this name, my gratitude to your tips.
A little unexpected that one more skill requires turning away. (This guy's language is a little poor and thought "Cold Feet" might have effect like heavy or slow.)

AWWW, just lost my First PotD in DF boo.

Made it to the end, just couldn't get the boss killed.

[Paladinleeds]

Oh DF, how you never cease to amaze me.

Trial Roulette. Ifrit HM pops up. Other tank is a DRK, I say "I'll MT, DRK does more damage than PLD", which they oblige. I think great, nice peaceful run. DPS get dropped like flies shortly after LB3 comes up (and the melee DPS tried to cast it, but got stopped due to Ifrit disappearing off screen for charges). I say "Hmm, maybe time for LB3", which they cast, but not until after ressing 2 of the DPS. Those 2 DPS that were ressed before the LB proceed to get creamed as the LB3 goes off, so they don't get ressed. Other 2 come up, and proceed to get creamed again. In the end, we beat Ifrit Ex with 1 DPS up, 2 tanks, and 2 healers... like... I knew people were new, but holy heck, I now realise that boss can still screw people over.

had a wiping city run a week or two ago where alliance A had roughly...? 4 people, minimum, without job crystals. no one truly wanted to start anything so other alliances just kept shut while alliance a cracked jokes about cross classes being better

come final boss, alliance A is /completely/ dead. we ended up clearing, but i still cracked a joke about how the crystaless dpses should have cross classed a raise pfft

still though, a raid established as being refreshingly difficult and people are going in jobless for the heck of it hah

My husband did a weeping city the other day and his ally kept wiping. Why? Both healers focused on DPS and neither healed. What I find to be really sad is the healers were from the same FC.

Could be worse.

You could have been in one of my runs yesterday where a healer from a different alliance went AFK at Ozma and Calofisteri, and magically un-afk'd immediately after Calofisteri died. When she got called out by my party's tank, she tried justifying it through 'lol I had to go pick up my bf' and her party actually defended her saying 'lol stop getting mad at joke 24 man content'.

That last part is why the devs will never ever win. Armchair hardcore players disgust me.

(I was top DPS for that run too. As a BARD. If they wanna act 'hardcore', they should at least be out-DPSing a Bard that doesn't actively raid.)

Ran The Vault for the first time last night for MSQ. We wiped about 4 times before completing it. Either I or the healer would die first.
However one time the healer, black mage and tank all wiped leaving me alone with the boss who was down to about 10% HP.
I thought, this is it. I can do it. LB'd him, still up with 1% HP. Get KO'd. FML.
