Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent. 2.0

I did not realize the second boss in Lapis Manalis dungeon insults you if you fail/eat mechanics after beating her until the other night.

First time in any game I've PvPed willingly - heck, my only shot at a PvP game ever was HotS when a friend dragged me into it - and it's such a rollercoaster. This probably isn't a big deal, but man I love this simply for the "demon Lalafell summoning Bahamut on you and thrusting rocks in your face" memes.

Last night in Eup my groups tank was eating Vun stacks like hot cakes. He no doubt was thinking "MMMM TASTY!!!"

Wait, what? I need to run that more. I've never noticed that, even when I did eat mechanics in my first few runs of it....experimentation time!

Sometimes it's easier to eat the vuln stacks(especially during the frogs/treemen fight after first boss) and keep everything grouped together nicely. Last night I got up to 7 or 8 stacks on that, on WAR, without a problem

Fine if you know to dodge things after a certain point this tank just kept taking everyting to the face. Said tank was not even the MT and eating vun stacks on the bosses..

Had a slightly weird Lapis Manalis this morning. The healer was pulling all mobs ahead of the tank and the tank would not rotate the bosses away from the rest of the team. I suppose in terms of weird duty finder experiences this is not that severe, but it was so early in the morning I kind of had to take a minute to realize what was happening, because something felt off.

Here's the 6:30 AM mentor roulette experience:

>instant meridianum
>tanking because the worst tanks and healers seem to play between midnight and noon
>pre-pull Regen messes up pull
>stops healing entirely for the last 30% of the first boss
>die right as the boss does
>raise macro
>meridianum pops again two roulettes later

Only 230 more runs to to go.

So my curse continues. What curse you may ask?

The curse that, if I were to say 'I'm going to die,' someone else dies instead.

Decided to run BLM (I'm unbelievably rusty and rather undergeared with this job) with a couple FC mates to get more astronomy for crafting mats last night. FC mates came as another BLM and PLD. We get a SGE for our random healer and get Lapis Manalis to pop.

Things go pretty well (second boss' speed is still a bit much for my hamster dps brain) up until the last boss. Well, he starts doing his zoomies when I parked myself near some red and realized out loud 'I'm going to die.' I had a vuln stack, and normally anything else will most likely kill me.

Co-BLM FC mate dies legit 3 seconds later the moment I said that in discord chat. Like full to zero.

Co-BLM FC mate cries at me saying I cursed him yet again. PLD FC mate is laughing too hard to do some of the mechanics right. He nearly dies but lives because tank privilege. We clear and I get told to just stop doing that.

I can't help it. D:

I broke my streak of having an unbroken Portrait again today. It hurt to see. But things have mostly been uneventful in the Roulettes I do so that's pretty much the most interesting thing that happened.
