Letters from the party menber live

Dear co-healer of any job, but specifically other WHMs,

If you see me casting or having already casted Protect + Swift StoneskinII, do not override either of them with your own. It's a waste of time, and especially of a Swiftcast on both our parts.

Dear co-healer,

Server tick tells me I did it first. It's not that big of a deal. If we both need Swiftcast in the first minute of a fight that's really not our fault anyhow.

Dear co-healer,

It's one thing when it's a "we both cast at the near-same time and override each other". It's quite another when the entire party is already buffed up before the other healer even begins casting - that isn't server discrepancy issues, that's just being irritating. And true, while we shouldn't need a Swiftcast right at the beginning of the fight.. it's still a waste, all the same. A waste that is highly unneeded.

Edit due to recent DS party:

Dear co-healer,

If you're going to spend most of the fight in CS and not help me heal at all, at least try to put out some decent dps - rather than stand there like a deer in headlights for a full minute between damage spells.

Dear tank,

Please stance dance better if I'm stripping hate threw out the boss fight don't tell me to stop dosing that makes me go at even harder >.>

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. And melee DPS classes don not like it when half a dozen mobs place their AoE markers at the same time.

Where do people get the idea that some dps jobs don't have good aoe unless we're talking about low levels. Cause at lv 50 - 60, all dps jobs can output good aoe damage for big group pulls.

[LineageRazor]

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.

I'm honestly confused why people get offended by this. Player names are often long, and not easily abbreviated, and communication during fights requires some quick typing. I know you're all proud of your carefully thought-out names, but when I'm trying to communicate something, typing "WAR" rather than trying to fumble through "Skwyzlbjork Bjornbjornsen" could mean the difference between a wipe and a clear.

It seems like one of those things players are going out of their way to be offended by, like the folks in FFXI who would get pissy if you examined them.

when do we get a Q and A section? This is becoming my favorite tv drama

Dear Bards,

Foe's Requiem actually buffs Raiton as well as healer dps, so please stop not playing it <3

Sincerely,

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

You can handle more. Spam your AOE button harder.

Dear WHM,

An overgeared WHM spamming holy pulls threat off an undergeared PLD spamming flash really, really easily.

While we're at it an overgeared WHM spamming holy makes DRKs using Blood Price really, really sad. Goodbye mana.

I mean, in all seriousness it seems like the DRK should time Blood Price better. Holy is pretty predictable in that it will likely begin occurring the moment the tank stops the pull and it's pretty serious AOE damage. Asking the WHM delay Holy and lose quite a bit of DPS on the trash rather than waiting 8 seconds or whatever until the stun is on DR seems like an all around bad strategy.
