Which'd tilt me even more than if I'm on a non-DPS class.

Oh man. Are YOU in luck. Because you have reminded me of what happened to me sometime last month with this very same problem with DNCs...

Queued into Trial roulette. On I believe was my WAR at the time to get it to 90
Got Immaculate. With THREE DNCs. One RPR. My friend came as OT GNB (He doesn't like Mting and I don't like aggro wars so it works out). And I can't tell you what the healers were cause I don't remember.

DNC#1 partners the RPR... then got to watch in annoyance as DNC#2 and DNC#3 partners me and my friend on tanks..

Fight starts and I gently point out that DNC Standard stacks on DNC. So they should partner eachother over tanks... “When did that change?” asks DNC#2. I simply say. 'Always, Ever, Since release' (I didn't really play DNC when it first came out, so if there actually was a change the few months before I played it. Thats on me)

DNC#2 “It doesn't. They overwrite eachother I just checked” Glance at the DNC and see them with two Standards and Two Closed Partition up. Confused I point out they have two so thats not overwriting anything. Then I notice both mine AND my co-tank's are gone so DNC#3 listened and partnered #2. But #2 threw it on the RPR that already had DNC#1's

So here I am. On PS5. Trying to still be doing at least something passable as an MT and DMG while trying to once again explain it stacks on a “DNC” and “Devilment does not stack though” (Important)

They continue to say I'm wrong, and how they keep testing it and it doesn't work even finally putting Partition on DNC#3. Only to claim again it overwrote their stacks and throws it back on me. I simply say “You do you” during this and focus on the fight instead of chat as this happens.

Fight is over. I got my friend laughing in my ear as I'm groaning in annoyance I make small mention of Balance discord and checking it out before leaving.


But WAIT. Theres MORE...

They are ON MY SERVER!. And Proceed to tend me a tell.

Informing me that a DNC doesn't “crystal ball that should not be named much higher than a tank. And it doesn't make up for the LOSS OF DEVILMENT” …What I will post below is our conversation word for word (I screenshotted to show my friend why I was suddenly muttering profanities)

Me: Loss of devilment? WHERE?
Me: Don't overwrite eachother and you get TWO?
DNC#2: Even if finish stacks devilment does not
Me: DON'T use them at the same time?
DNC#2 Yes because I should trust pugs to cordinate something like that
Me: Man you right “I'll use mine first” is hard.
DNC#: Plus that would mean either delaying my technical step or losing out on devil with my technical step.
Me: Technical doesn't stack no matter who you partner with.
Me: That has nothing to do with what I said.
DNC#: It does actually
Me: My lord man.
Me: You do you.
DNC#2: Technical step has the same cooldown as devilment If I delay devilment that means it won't be in the same window as technical step.
DNC#2: Overall the biggest DPS loss that fight was out argument..
(Imma about done at this point)
Me: I said Standard stacks,
Me: It does.
Me: You said it doesn't.
Me: You go on ahead and reread that whole argument.
Me: I even pointed out devil didn't stack.
Me: But once again man. You do you.


They finally stopped replying.. I was annoyed. Friend was wheezing in laughter at me..

Normal day for me in good ol' DF..
