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

What is that people, specifically tanks, hate about Xelphatol? Last night was twice this week that a tank dropped when the gate dropped.

Fun times in Palace of the Dead 31-40 on scholar, got paired with two other scholars and a BLM. We pulled entire rooms and just destroyed everything while our fairies had quite the hard time ^^ Then, 41-50. At stage 47, we found a manticore pomander, but already had three in stock, so I used one, the one in the chest was picked up, we moved to 48, I killed everything, and we found two other manticore pomanders... so pretty much everyone manticore'd at some point and when we reached stage 50, we still had two left

Since the relic made me do expert again, I know have to deal with pugs from time to time - some good, some... not so much.
This evening me and a friend ran into a french couple in gulbal HM (I assume they were a couple - same last name, both french) - scholar and dragoon. Scholar starts off with overwriting my protect. Twice. To be sure, I guess. But doesnt summon a fairy until I ask for it two pulls later. Aetherflows must have appeared somewhen in between because we didnt started with them - but hey, wo needs aetherflows when casting physick the whole time? You wont need them for bane and not for lustrate, so whats the point, really?
We get to the first boss and I'm already a little annoyed by this stupid overhealing and not dpsing - thats not how you play scholar... - and after getting two physicks while adlo is up, I call them out, asking why they're healing me when I'm not taking any damage. We defeat the first boss, neither of them said a word, but both... leave.
We get a new scholar and a bard and finish that dungeon in under 20 minutes.

I am not sure, it's clearly the faster of the two new dungeons. I mean, it's like 12-14 minutes for Xelph and 13-15 for Gubal (or so), but still.

Wanderer's Palace (Hard) I'm the healer and had a lv 59 DRK who did a ready check before each single trash pulls. Every. Little. Pack. Of. Trash.

I'm not sure what was more frustrating, the constant ready checks or the 6 line auto-translated macro of {{CURE}}{{Can I have it?}} {Disciples of Magic}}{{CURE}}{{CURE}}{{CURE}} when he took 1 HP of damage.

I think this needs a /comfort.

[Heliantheae]

That cure macro would've gotten on my nerves as a DPS. I've seen a couple of tanks pop a ready checks before a pull as a way of asking if big pulls were okay. Doesn't seem to be the case for you though. /comfort indeed.

I think i would have destroyed them.

The rest of the group would probably get caught in the blast, but i deem it a worthy sacrifice.

In Wiping Shitty, people get so salty, people get so sore.
I'm just so glad I don't need that gear any more.

C's paladin started tanking when we reached Arachne Eve.
B's dark knight, for whatever stupid reason, got really peeved.

They started itching and bitching in alliance chat.
A's paladin, I don't know why, took issue with that.

They told B's dark knight to stop complaining...
While complaining about all the griping.

Yeah, I landed in B, an unfortunate black mage.
Witnessing all this, I felt older than my age.

At Forgall, we wiped for the first time.
Perfumed waters turned to salty sea brine.

Somehow, the succubus got to cast Beguiling Mist.
I suppose all 6 melee DPS were having the fits.

"Don't expect stuns" the dark knight ordered.
I felt like my soul was being murdered.

Even with 2 ninjas, 2 paladins, a bard, and a scholar,
apparently, no one had also thought to silence her.

Moving on, we eventually got past Forgall,
and fairly easily killed the rock wall.

Miraculously, we didn't wipe to the Ball of Doom.
Except for alliance A, on which meteors went boom.

Dead A healers, of course, couldn't eat their orbs.
So they chewed B up like corn on the cob.

Despite all this, the only B to die was me.
Please, oh please, will I ever be free?

As you can imagine, the dark knight jumped on this.
While even I, who died, held my piece.

At Calofisteri... eh, she wasn't so bad.
But some people just want a reason to be mad.

You may ask, why do I still do Wiping Shitty?
Because those godsdamned Mhachi Matter are still a weekly.
