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

I decide to go as NIN to Doom Scaith for once, and I die tanking the boss because three tanks aren't capable of keep the aggro for longer than a minute.

Thanks SE for not adding more tanks to SB.

I guess be aware of AST shield stance, but this macro basically kills everything.

Just a quick thank you for this! I have no idea how to right click on ps4 unless I get my wireless mouse out and that can be a pain mid run. Plus the mouse/touchpad on the controller is so finicky... Just wish i'd known this when I was actively tanking >.< but will be adding for future

Adding more tank jobs won't make people play tank better.

Adding more tank jobs won't make people play tank better.

Add new tank jobs will make more people play a new tank job = More bad tanks everywhere.

That wasn't sarcasm.

@Vidu, I was in duty with a bard this past weekend who had a macro every time he put up Mages Ballad (which he would do when the healers were in no way low on MP. )

His macro was essentially "yes I just put Ballad up, no it doesn't lower my damage"

I told him that wasn't correct and he ought to check his tool tip. No response. After we wiped (it was a synced extreme trial) he put up Mages Ballad again almost instantly. I wanted to facepalm. I told him again that wasn't correct and he really ought to check his tool tips. It's Foes that doesn't lower his personal damage...maybe he thought he was putting that one up...

I have macro's on all my songs (they're gonna need changing come Stormblood... great, oh well). But it announces on my Ballad/Paeon macros that I incur a 10% damage penalty on myself. Foes announces that I have no damage penalty. When used it gives a quick overview of what the song is doing so they know what to expect. Lemme post it in 3 code blocks.

Ballad:

/macroicon "Mage's Ballad"
/ac "Mage's Ballad"
/em bursts into song, filling the airwaves with magical regeneration
/wait 3
/p Playing Mage's Ballad - Restoring party's MP - 10% DPS penalty in effect on self.

Paeon:

/macroicon "Army's Paeon"
/ac "Army's Paeon"
/em bursts into song, revitalising her comrades
/wait 3
/p Playing Army's Paeon - Restoring party's TP - 10% DPS penalty in effect on self.

Requiem:

/macroicon "Foe Requiem"
/ac "Foe Requiem"
/em bursts into song, darkening the very aether around her.
/wait 3
/p Playing Foe Requiem- Reducing magic resistance of nearby enemies! No DPS penalty on me.

Simple, effective, with a little fun wrapped in them through custom emotes. No obnoxious sound effects either (for something I'm possibly going to be using quite often I don't like to announce it. I believe the only 2 I use sound effects for are resurrection, and Hallowed Ground. Even then I could possibly curb the sound effect from the latter).

Shields aren't such an issue as they're not generating aggro over time. It's just heal over times that generate aggro so yeah, no need to clear the shields.

[Mysterysword]

Joined what clearly proclaimed itself to be a WT party for Titan EX in PF. Turns out there's a freeloading level 58 BLM who needs a clear. Of course.

Leech BLM falls off and dies to the first Geocrush. Of course.

Leech BLM stays dead for the remainder of the fight while everyone else finishes the fight. OF COURSE.

Leech BLM takes the earrings that drop for themselves, which they did nothing to earn, as well as the Crag Heart. OF. COURSE.

I hate people.

GGL as DRK.
Q'd w/ MCH bud. Not my first run.

Healer complained that I was only pulling 1 group. So I pulled the next 2 groups. Popped ALL of my CDs, no heal, died.

She starts insulting my ilvl. I just came back from an 8 month break. I explain this. The whole point is to get better gear.

She flamed me for losing aggro <10s on the first boss to a BRD. The BRD defended me. He "popped all his CDs & didn't wait". The next trash pull she tells me to use tank CDs for trash or she's going to "hope Eos" doesn't let me die. I said if she lets me die we ALL have to wait, so there's no point in refusing to heal.

At this point my quiet friend piped up insulting her, saying that the way she acts there must be nobody that loves her(lol). She says she has a boyfriend, then insults his DPS.

At this point I was done. I vote kicked her. We had 50% so she was gone. The bard after about 30s said "sorry" and left. It was her boyfriend. LMAO

Could it be the same SCH I had for Vault?! I can't recall her name, but we wiped on second boss due to new people, and her resurrecting people in the bads (orbs). Then she actually yelled at both DPS saying the we better hope Eos is on our side and keep us alive.

Sophia normal mode
Me (whm) : raise cohealer
Cohealer (whm): raise smn to help raise the 2 other dps still down after swimming in frosty patch and running away from their color complement debuff

Me : smn raise please ^^
Smn : raise ?
Me : revive
Smn : fuck me
Me : no ty

I confess i acted like a jerk and stop caring about that fight after that exchange, tho the cohealer is a friend and i knew she could go through

My main dps is smn and i died a little bit inside but not before being absolutely furious about it ... i still is

It was a few months ago. Quite a bit of time before Baelsar's Wall, so I can't remember her name. I just remember her being extremely toxic, and her boyfriend seemed like the passive type (though he'd have to be to be dating her). Both her and her boyfriend were Miqo'te... but that's like finding a needle in a haystack.
