Letters from the party menber live

[Balipu]

This is a thread I have wanted to make for quite some time now. In a nutshell it is a list of suggestions/wishes/orders for members of your party. As I have played every role and every class at least a little I think I have every point of view covered, but feel free to add something if I missed it.

From the tank

Dear healer. Do not ask for bigger pulls. I know how much aggro I can confortably manage.

Dear DPS. Pulling the mobs is MY job. If you are pulling I'm going to assume you can deal with it without me.

Dear Summoner. Your Titan-egi isn't helping. In fact it just makes things more difficult.

From the healer

Dear party members. Let's not split up, shall we? I can only heal those who are within range. If you go to the other side of the PotD floor to check teasure chest while the tank is fighting, you will be alone and likely die.

Dear ranged DPS. You really don't have to stand right next to the boss. If you are hit by every attack it just gives me unnecessary extra work.

Dear injured party member. Don't run away. If you move out of range or break line of sight I can't save you.

From the tank and the healer

Don't call me tank, healer or any variation of my class/job name. It's very rude and if I'm offended I might just let you die.

From the DPS.

Dear tank. Before you kite half the dungeon into one room check what kind of damage we do. If there is nobody with reasonable AoE damage in the group it really isn't a good idea to do big pulls all the time. Also, kiting mobs is boring for anyone who isn't a machinist or a bard. And melee DPS classes don not like it when half a dozen mobs place their AoE markers at the same time.

From the ninja

Dear tank. If I'm casting Doton it is not something for you to avoid and drag mobs out of. I have put it there for a reason.

[Yeol]

Dear Ninja, please stop overwriting my storms eye. Sincerely Warrior.

[Violyre]

Don't call me tank, healer or any variation of my class/job name. It's very rude and if I'm offended I might just let you die.

Dear tank.

For some reason, I found this hilarious, despite knowing you used it as a generic term.

As for me...

From the other tank

Hi, did you see me pull that boss? That means I'm tanking it. Don't steal it from me unless it's a tank buster mechanic.

From the DPS in above party

Quit screwing with our positionals!

From healers in above party

Quit making the mob turn and cleave the DPS!

[Masekase_Hurricane]

Dear ranged DPS. You really don't have to stand right next to the boss. If you are hit by every attack it just gives me unnecessary extra work.

I actually find it more annoying when they are not near the mob. They are normally at a distance that they miss out on buffs.

Don't call me tank, healer or any variation of my class/job name. It's very rude and if I'm offended I might just let you die.

If you think that is rude wait till you see the names I call you when you let me die :P

[Dualgunner]

Dear Ninja, please stop overwriting my storms eye. Sincerely Warrior.

Dear Warrior,

I'll avoid it if I can, but if the positional is not guaranteed Dancing Edge is the best thing I've got :3

[Faliandra]

From the tank

Dear healer. Do not ask for bigger pulls. I know how much aggro I can confortably manage.

From the Healer:


Dear Tank, dont tell me to not tell you to pull more. When I ask you to, it means I am confident in my skills and can handle it.
If aggro is your only problem, I assume spamming ONE button a few times (Flash/Unmend/Overpower) isnt really too much to ask for.

(please, I have never never played any tanks before in any MMORPGs before this game and its so damn easy after just playing it for a few days while youre lvling it...
Tanks dont have any highly-demanding rotations or anything other than their main 1-2-3 combos
and maybe some AoE which they can use after just using their Enmity-increasing AoE ability a few times and pressing
like 2 buttons at a time for defensive CDs like every 20-30 secs....)

[Venoshock]

Dear Ninja, please stop overwriting my storms eye. Sincerely Warrior.

Dear warrior, stop letting storms eye fall off you have TWO rotations, c'mon...and stop using and upholding that bloody storm path instead of eye in situations where you don't have to. You're killing your dps, the pld/drks dps and most importantly MY dps because you don't know your rotation. Go away and learn your class.

love me. <3 Charmaine the ninja warrior \o/

p.s DON'T USE FELL CLEAVE WITHOUT STORMS EYE/DANCING EDGE OR EVEN MAIM. I just had to add that because i see it TOO often. It hurts my soul as a warrior main.

lol the amount of warriors that don't know their class is astounding, especially the ones that attempt savage.

Oh wow </3

Dear BRD, just because there are no casters in your party doesn't mean you shouldn't play Foe Requiem for your dpsing healer.

[Mwynn]

From the Alchemist :

Dear DoW/DoM Jobs, please buy more Supramax Potions!

I'm sometimes surprised by the number of warriors who let eye fall off, even if only for 1-2 gcds, in favour of using butcher's block combo in their berserk rotation right before pacification. I can't help but notice it, even when playing as drg, since my main job is war. I can't imagine how bad it'll be if I actually play nin instead of drg.

Oh and I also hate tanks who turn the boss unnecessarily when it has no front cleaves, or those who don't preposition themselves to minimize uptime loss for melees when the boss moves/jumps/does mechanics, like for traps in a10s. As a tank I never noticed how annoying that was until I tried playing as a melee dps.
