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

[TwizzlyTwist]

To the sch I just had on my alt drk in Bardam's Mettle:

1. Stop spamming Physick. It's absolutely useless as a heal. Your shields will do much better, especially since you were spamming Physick for 90% of the duty.
2. You have Emergency Tactics to get a double heal out of your shields, and can be used every 15 seconds.
3. Stop spamming Physick.
4. Excog the tank, not yourself. It does nothing when it's on the wrong target.
5. Stop spamming Physick.
6. Hit your Sprint. Sprint as a tank helps mitigate damage, and it keeps you up with the tank that hit sprint. You're going to see this a ton in higher levels, get used to it.
7. Stop spamming Physick.
8. You have Aetherflow that can be used for either Sacred Soil, Excog, or Lustrate. Please make better use of it.
9. Stop spamming Physick.
10. Art of War. Use it in packs instead of spamming Broil. Your aoes do more damage than you realize and could have saved us a wipe.
11. Stop spamming Physick.
12. Lots of tanks will not single-pull and will often w2w. You're going to have to get used to it.
13.Stop spamming Physick.
14. Saying 'our tank has somewhere to be' when I hit Sprint and calling me cringe when I try to motivate the party after a wipe that your Physick-spamming caused is a very poor attitude to have. Drop the poor attitude now or get kicked in the future.
15. STOP. SPAMMING. PHYSICK.

Sincerely,

One drk that had to put up with your terrible mindset

Would be a shame if someone used Physick

Just so you all know, I'm the SMN in dungeons that doesn't use Phoenix in the first trash pack. I want to save it to open on the boss fight because I like it better and want to use searing light during the Phoenix window instead of Bahamut. That's all it is, I am trash and will take my crucifixion now.

/sigh...this game has gotten quite toxic in duty finder (at least for me these last couple months).

Seems like 5 out of every 10 dungeons are finished by getting a not-so-positive bit of feedback following IMMEDIATELY by the person dropping group as to not hear any sort of rebuttal.

Have also been in 2 groups since the start of March that have had people claim to not give commendations to certain races lol.
Commendations don't mean a whole lot to me but why go out of your way to announce your prejudice towards certain character races in a video game?

Idk. I've played this game since ARR and I still love it. It will always have a special place in my heart and I'm sure I'll still play it but this is the first time I've felt like taking a break simply because of the social aspect being a fairly negative experience.

I play other MMO's as well and they all have toxic moments in them but I've always taken significant breaks from those games while FFXIV has been the exception. Guess it just sucks that they're becoming a similar experience.

Anyways...didn't mean to rant, saw the opportunity to vent and took advantage.

Trials Roulette: Chrysalis. As a SCH, with my AST friend.

I dc’ed midway, then logged back in right as the party died to the last giant meteor. LB gauge reset. 7 bodies on floor. Aetherial Tear is still alive at 42% remaining. So I uhh… hard raise everybody to continue the duty… xD

I have unintentionally glitched the duty lmfao. Best dc timing ever.

Game was always toxic, the "great community" is just a mask. When the game was smaller it was just easier for people to thought police others

As funny as that comic is, sch still shouldn't ever spam Physick in a high-level duty with 80-90% mp remaining to sustain a tank that's having to double-stack defensive cooldowns just to survive. I can only do so much as a drk to cover terrible healers with bad attitudes.

Though now that I think about it, your character looks exactly like the bun sch I had that day.
