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

Poetics, if you do your daily roulettes, especially the msq, practically dogpile you in them. Heck even spamming Prae gets you a choco-ton.

Both of those rings are level 60, neck and wrist are both 70, head/hands/legs are 70, and the hq 80 gear you get from coffers/mb are surprisingly cheap. Heck you can also buy the nq ones from npcs and still would be better than these. Only aoe's I could see the mch doing were Flamethrower/Bioblaster/Autocrossbow once per pack after a surprising amount of single-targetting. Things were dying rather slowly despite my flare'ing like crazy.

Never heard/saw Reassemble used once the entire dungeon. Dungeon took about 25 minutes to complete. I can only do so much boom-booms as blm.

Okay, yeah, that would do it, although I'd be way more bothered by the lack of AoEs rather than the gear at that point.

I also went accidentally undergeared into a dungeon.
You level a class from 50-79 and only see ARR Dungeons in your daily leveling roulette.
Then you get to level 80 for doing PvP, queue into leveling like always and get the highest possible level 80 dungeon.

There you are, 30 level worth of unknown skills and mostly level 70 gear with some other, higher piece's in-between.

You then have to figure out the level 80 rotation while only knowing level 50 skills.

It's a flawed system that makes this possible.

[...]I can only do so much boom-booms as blm.

Look look... on the bright side, you can actually finish casting those double/triple/quadra flares, right? Right?!

I'm joking... partly.

Lv70 pieces... I can see how that happens... but the fact that lv60 ring went unnoticed for 20 levels or more is beyond me.

Not going to lie some tank players in this game can be supper petty. Was leveling up my DPS on the new servers, needed darkhold for the MSQ. Tank does the first pull in one shot like normal we kill the boss. Move onto the frogs tank fights the first frog but healer goes ahead and pulls the next pack, we kill them no problem. Tank then proceeds to pull everything to the boss, we wipe cause the healer could not keep up with the damage. after the wipe the tank makes a slight comment at the healer; "Guess that was too much eh?" Healer replies; "Ye don't have my full ket yet." Tank followed up with; "Then don't pull for me next time unless you can handle w2w."

This tank legit caused a wipe wasting the time of the party to simply flex on a sprout healer that dared to pull one extra pack of mobs. I get it darkhold can get dicey around the frogs and he choose to play it safe, that being said this healer was a sprout they may not have known, could have used that moment to educate a provide a reason why you did not pull both of them in one shot. Instead he pulled a small pp energy.

That type of person should not be a tank, in my opinion. Period. Being a tank or a healer is a thankless job. Dealing with other peoples' crap comes with the territory. Wasting everyone's time by being petty benefits no one. If someone is pulling for the tank, that means they aren't going fast enough, and their fellow teammates are bored.

To be fair to the tank he did proper CD usage and I do not think he intentionally tried to wipe the group but also clearly knew the chances were low that we would survive. If that makes sense, I wish the healer was able to pull off that pull. I get what the tank was trying to do or say. Don't complain about the speed unless you can handle max speed.

To the WAR I had in Zot:

I know for a fact you have more than just Rampart as a mitigation cooldown.

I also know you can heal your damn self because its a very sore point for healers this expansion. And was a sore point last one.

Do it. By the time you hit 80 you should know how to play your class. And considering you have another tank at 90 your mitigations are NOT that different.

Sincerely an AST.

P.S. It is long past time that there should be some restrictions on class boosters.

I'm just saying but if you're in any duty, you have no idea what you're doing and you decide that someone else is seems smart enough that you can follow them around to the point where you nearly kill them with spread markers multiple times... commend them. Your gratitude will fuel them for more duties.

Got a Ramuh EX with a Legend duo that didn't have mentor icons. They queued "for fun" and one of them even claimed to have not done it before, despite knowing all of the mechanics and already having the clear achievement. Unfortunately, as fun as it may be to spend 30 minutes wiping in a 30-second fight with no reward, doing it through DF instead of PF just sets a bad example for the sprouts.

[Mesarthim]

To be completely fair, it might have been more beneficial to pop it after you had stopped pulling, because they couldn't have used Holy much on the move

I most definitely do not use it while moving collecting packs. That seems to be where the first error in the response is. Cooldowns are basically wasted if you use them before you stop collecting everything. I never said I used it when grabbing the first set. I used it AFTER I had stopped. "Start trash pull" is code from me for Aoeing a wall pull. If you've only pulled one pack then you're not done pulling yet. I guess it would've helped people understand had I'd written "Starting to murder the wall pull" or something of that fashion.

Didn't seem to matter if I started with rampart or sentinel because they barely used holy in the first place.

Who uses hallowed while on the move? Seems like that entire chain of responses came from misunderstanding what was written.
