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

I'm not sure if it was "I was too focused on DPSing so the arcanist picked up my slack" or "arcanist and I had different 'time to heal' thresholds" (I think it was more of the latter), but it was still really weird.

Oh dear. Sounds like an Arcanist I had in Halatali. He never once DPS and spammed nothing but Physicks... even on me, a scholar. Like one time we were just standing around waiting for the tank, he kept healing the healer, haha.

lol I had a BLM last night (me WHM) who kept casting physick on himself when he got hit even a little... don't know if he was trying to let me dps more but it was like well that's not really gonna help >.< let me heal you once instead of you trying to do the same amount of healing but having to cast physick 6/7 times to get anywhere near the potency of 1 of my cures! your damage is higher than mine (or should be) just stick to attacking ^^;

Standing around doing nothing is the best time to spam Physick. :-p

Yes! DPS who heals, I'm proud you leveled a healer, but stick to being a DPS. Unless smns helping with raise on 8 - 24 parties then its okay with me.

His Physick makes me cry tho, haha.

I would at least hope that thee reason why the BRD wasn't playing Mage's Ballad was because they were out of MP from either dying or playing Foe's. MCHs have no such excuse.

No, our bard was one of those silent bards. I don't even think they played Foe's once. :/ Yeah, our alliance didn't have any casters but one had like 3 BLM and there were a few SMN in the others.
My bard soul hurts.

I've gotten used to being a NIN with a controller. It was my main, so it wasn't too hard. So I went my second class, the AST. My FC needed a healer for expert. It would be my second time healing on a controller, but I've single handedly saved parties from wipes a few times. And these expert dungeons don't hit that hard, what's the worst that could happen? He pulls the first two mobs and I'm fumbling around trying to remember where I put my sects. I found them just in time for him to die. He decides to do one group at a time. A couple pulls in and I'm starting to get confident, I hit him with both Regens and switch to Cleric Stance, watching his health. It drops below 30% and I cast Exalted Detriment. Didn't even switch off Cleric Stance. Wait his HP is still dropping, whoops I meant to cast Essential Dignity. That isn't even on my hotbars. At that point I decided to stay out of Cleric Stance until I got used to the controller better.

I wish there was a better way to practice healing outside of subjecting your friends and/or random tanks to it.

FC mates wanted to run PotD real quick before they crashed so I went heals for them. Tore straight through 1-10, started 11-20, got to floor 12 or 13.

One FC mate tripped a landmine at the same time I went for the nearby silver chest. RNG being what it is, the chest exploded. Never have I wiped so fast or laughed so hard. My friend even saved the replay.

Chocobo? My birb has been my beginning guinea pig for AST playing around.

Some good news from Weeping city, ran it for the first time as a tank yesterday (DRK) but had run it several times as Healer. However I had taken a break for a month so was rusty. Ended up being the MT for the entire run, had a few casualties around but never wiped on a boss. Get the last one and I mention that it's my first time so don't expect me to turn her for the hair swipes and both the other tanks spoke up and stated it was their first time as well. So basically 3 newbie tanks and no wipes, good day I say.
