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

This might be a Lamia thing but man are tanks allergic to using role defenses. They all single pull and they all refuse to use role defenses. Yeah im low level doing ARR dungeons but if a 90 tank is dying quickly to a single pull...something is wrong.

3 out of 4 tanks suck.

What's going on Lamia? Well not just Lamia...the data server it is on.

I've noticed it on not just Lamia. You've probably encountered the string of no-mit tanks I've dealt with in the past couple months before I pulled out of solo roulette. And it's not just tanks too. I've noticed healers and dps not using the better parts of their job kits in most dungeons.

Probably I should elaborate clearer next time: what I witnessed was anything but "This is so hard to target!!"-situation. They were jumping around aimlessly -not anywhere in range to interact with the contact point-. If they were trying to target the contact point, logically they would've wandered toward that point & stopping once in a while, not keep jumping (we can't attach it while jumping, yes? lmao).

If that sounded petty, that's because it's a vent, in a vent thread. Everytime I zone into WoD's Cerberus fight I'm always watchful to prevent chain enrage thanks to (relatively) too many times wipes happening 'cause people were holding the chain for whatever reason: I will focus target anybody who has the chain to watch their buff timer and cast bar whenever chain goes out.

I'm curious of they were holding onto the chain for the maximum duration before putting it on. That was a tactic back in the day but with power creep being real they should just attach is asap. No need to try to aim for the maximum duration.

That's definitely not a Lamia only thing.

There's nothing worse than watching someone in a level 90 dungeon run through it without using a single defensive. Yes, I can heal through it, but it's very painful.

I think I've run into two tanks in Lapis Manalis that did that.

Finally got Orbonne from AR… after so long… after that many CT raids… ah yes it’s also semi chaotic run & I’m on SGE… thank you, roulette… oh and that first timer who pulled me into the raid.

Best AR ever!

Totally. I’m aware why people do it, but after my own fair share of wipes from people attempting just that, be it seriously or trolling… (some players do not know the chain only sticks to you for limited time!!)

Nah. Y’know what, just slap the chain ASAP, thanks. I’ll take moving out of bad a bit more & clear vs risking one single ‘pepega moment’ that ends up wiping the entire raid. And what’s common in DF runs? Yep, those ‘pepega moments’, for better or worse.

Just wanted to do my MSQ Roulette. Instead I end up with an Archer and a DRK that won't turn on tank stance. Gave it 5 mins and then just left. Nope, nope, nope.

[Miracle_Diva]

Just a tiny bit of trolling

[Cincierta]

I have many, many questions.

I have many, many questions.

His hp is kinda high?

His hp is kinda high?

It's not a reaper from their party, it's from alliance B. If you look closely, you can see him being selected.
