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

[SturmChurro]

Just got out of an extremely interesting run of Dzaemel Darkhold. This picture should highlight this pretty well:



To start off, we had a boosted paladin who was either perpetually lost, or was out to explore every single nook and cranny of the map. I mean like, this tank was literally going every direction, sometimes actually the other direction multiple times; back and forth. Wouldn't pull enemies into the crystal light either, so he died 3 times before the first boss. When we got to the first boss he wouldn't pull the boss into the crystal's light again so I just stood and emoted in the light for awhile, occasionally he would pull it in, we eventually killed it.

On the way to the second boss, of course like I said, we had Christopher Columbus as our tank, but not only that they would constantly fall off the ledge, come back up, fall off the ledge, come back up. We killed the enemies, but instead of proceeding towards the boss, the tank (our explorer) went and checked the caves up top then walked back down the ledge all the way to the bottom, went to the front and down to the cave below. Finally we got to the second boss we killed like normal.

Third boss had the usual antics, but this tank decided they would run all over the place while pulling single groups, and I mean not running to go pull more just staying and going around in circles with them, up a little ledge, down the ledge, up the ledge, down the ledge.... Anyway... our hiker gets to the last boss, the healer apparently couldn't heal it, so we wiped, eventually we also killed it. Funny thing, the healer also was wearing low level accessories, and some crafting gear.

All in all, a very hilarious run. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe for a lot of it, then I was facepalming, then I was crying. One heck of a ride. Wish I could say more of what I was thinking, either way I got another timer to add to my collection.

Was in a dungeon (Qitana Ravel to be precise) with me (ast) friend (dnc) a gnb tank and brd. The dots kept falling off we noticed and so my dnc buddy mentioned they could use iron jaws...

In case you are not aware of the bard toolkit, what he would be missing at that level since he had not done his quests would be:
The Wanderer's Minuet
Empyreal Arrow
Iron Jaws
The Warden's Paean
Sidewinder
Refulgent Arrow
Basically, his entire damage toolkit to make him viable.
...He was level 76..This was a 76 bard and he was missing all of the above because he did not do quests cause it was too time consuming.
*sigh*

BIG YIKES.

This physically hurts me as a Bard main.

You have some major patience to deal with that, haha. I would have kicked him after wasting all that time going up and down the ledge system on the way to Boss #2.

I love her content tutorial videos. They are by far the most concise and thorough option out there which is pretty impressive given those two things are often at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Pretty much. I use both MTQ and TSDS in case that the latter covers some in the meantime changed mechanics, even though the latter swiching between role perspectives took a while to get used to for me.

As for Dzemael: I've done this dungeon on Squadron and must admit that I also got lost a bit in the section between boss 1 and 2 for weird reason xD. Ironically, only during the 2nd run! Lack of concentration perhaps.

I just had a really strange run through of Amdapor Keep... Apparently there's a new tank in the game: Dragoon! The DRG kept pulling the mobs ahead of the GNB, obviously thought they were the tank. GNB didn't say a word, though. I would've accidentally dropped my tank stance and misplaced my AoE if that were me. I don't see how you can tolerate that kind of blatant disrespect.
Whole time the SCH kept rushing ahead to save the impatient DRG when they would inevitably almost die... one time nearly causing a wipe on trash since the mobs and our party were split in half and aggro was just.. everywhere since the tank was not very good. Don't know why SCH bothered to save them but whatever. And the tank... ugh. No AoE, pulled one pack and only attacked one enemy per pack, always lagging behind. Doesn't excuse the DRG but still, oof.

Oh and everyone was dead silent the whole run. No 'hi' at the beginning, nobody said anything about the chaos, nothing. I nope'd out of there immediately after the last boss died.

to be fair MTQ capture vids are like 4 minutes, but yeah.

Isn't she known for making vids on fights she didn't do? Why is she not hated for that yet Mr. Happy gets all kinds of shame. I know his vids are long but atleast he does the fights. Hell he streams them all the time.

She does the fights. She has one of her friends/FC members give a portion of their videos to help explain mechs.
She usually is the tank in her guides from what I saw.

Mr. Happy gives long, detailed explanations and kinda repeats himself.
MTQ is quick and to the point. They're both good, but I prefer the quickness of MTQ.

I'm still trash at feast as a healer but oh my does it feel amazing when it all comes together with a real back and forth instead of a faceroll... having a lot of fun with Feast atm via practice

BIG YIKES.

This physically hurts me as a Bard main.

Bard main as well. I was utterly disheartened and bitter and raging inside. lol

At least your rage increased your damage dealt by 10% for 20 seconds.
