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

I always thought it was indeed a debuff limit and not merely a display limit. I've been avoiding my DoTs on WHM (well, trying to. Habits are hard to break...) on 24-man raids for that reason.

I do think there is a limit (I'm wanting to say 60, maybe?), but it also doesn't display more than 30. I just wish that my DoTs at least showed up when I have "Show detrimental effects only inflicted by you."

Had a Miqo'te PLD emote at me in A12 at the beginning and end of the fight with something like

/em hands <t> a >Fantasia so they can correct their mistake and become a Miqo'te.

I can't immediately recall the races of the rest of the party (save for a Midlander), but I'm 99.99% sure that I was the only person they used their emote on, even going so far as to urge me to "join the Master Race, tiny lizard". First time I've ever had something like this happen ever since becoming an Au'ra right at the beginning of Heavensward.

But the joke's on them, since I already have a Keeper alt, and she was my original 1.0 main (until some complicated circumstances with IRL friends messed those plans up).

I doubt there is a real limit to debuffs. Display yes, confirmed by SE but no idea when they are going to adress this (makes the whole point of only displaying your quiet useless). I've had hilarious full alliances in 24 man with at least 10 smns, a few sch, brds, well, the debuff bar was completely full, and I never saw any fester (not just mine) fail. But then, I have not had it comfirmed.

Expert roulette last night...

Joined in progress as SCH, few minutes later a tank joins, good to go.

I ask what happened to the other Tank/Healer and the response I get was "scrubs".

Get to second boss and I notice DPS is slow, DRG is not using Heavy Thrust. I say "Hey (name), if you keep up Heavy Thrust it gives you a permanent DPS buff, similar to BRDs Straight shot". No response. Whatever, thought that might help, it\\\\'s a returning player, maybe it\\\\'s a new job to them or they forgot. I\\\\'ve offered this tip to a few DRG and BRD over the past few weeks and it\\\\'s helped out.

Few minutes go by:

DRG: yeah I know, just tired, running on no sleep.
Me: >.> Well if you use heavy thrust we can DPS more and be done quicker so you can catch up on sleep?
DRG: I know how to play DRG thx

Tried to kick them, failed immediately. Im a pretty tolerable person but someone willfully being bad and wasting time is too much.

Should\\\\'ve just abandoned and took the L.

From my experience, about 40% of pug healers are in the 0% to 3% total dps range, meaning they either do nothing and stand idle while waiting for something to heal, or toss a few out of stance dots and maybe some dps spells. It really stresses the rest to pick up the slack, especially on big trash pulls. Those DF runs usually take 20-25 minutes, rather than the usual 15 or so.

Wait, you're actually claiming that healer DPS from 1 healer can create a 25-40% shorter runtime in an instance? Either those healers are freaking miraculous players who can out DPS the 1% of DPS who are perfect, or you're exaggerating mightily.

It's excuses like this that throw me off the most.
"Oh, I'm just sleepy"
So, you can hit A,B,C but are too tired to hit D? WTF?

I just assumed that was their way of covering up their own ignorance. Because, you're right that's a dumb excuse.

Ever see a whm holy spam, aero3 assize? 3k dps on trash easily.

I queued into expert again yesterday evening, got Sohm Al Hard again with a DRK, BRD, and.. No idea. Well, the DRK did one of those weird 3 second pauses followed by grabbing the next pack, but kept losing mobs to the BRD and other DPS. BRD continued to single target his one mob at max range. DPS was terribly low, even with me DPSing, and I had to assist Selene in healing to keep everyone alive.. First two pulls took 5 mins, so I just thought "F it" and dropped out of the dungeon. I don't need a stressful hard carry for two runs in a day.

Finishing WHM relic and got Zurvan normal for roulette, got an AST who never left cleric stance (maaaaaaybe once, when the tank got very low) and I was totally stoked because I had heals covered 100% and was still able to step into CS and dps the opener and toss dots up every so often as well. I really appreciated her recognition that I had it. She got my comm.
