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

Did a dungeon where the healer went out of their way to rescue me into every possible AoE. Which meant the healer had to ALSO stand in every possible AoE for that to be possible.

But, they assured me, they REALLY knew what the mechanics USED to be once upon a time.

They REALLY wanted to "go together!"

That's real love bro. So whenever the wedding happens I want an invitation.

Never had such an awful Dun Scaith before. Like I guess healers just weren't prepared for DH hitting so hard, but they weren't healing in general to begin with. Most of the alliance was wiped out on most bosses because healers flat out weren't even bothering to use their aoe spells, so raidwide attacks would slowly wittle down the parties until we died. Best part of all is at the end when they pat themselves on their backs like they did amazing.

I feel like these mogtomes really show how lazy some people are/have gotten. In OCE, generally, alliance roulettes are run unsynced. So, when mogtomes event comes round, suddenly people are running it synced and noone knows how to do the alliance raids properly. Tanks don't split adds. Healers don't heal their alliance properly. The amount of people that cannot seem to understand the concept of, when you have a boss fight in a wide area or the add phase, that A is left, B is middle and C is right. Because it's so rare to get anything other than CT (and sure, hopefully that changes with the new patch), any time they actually do a different, synced, alliance raid, they become headless chickens.

Normal raid roulette: Alexander A1 Normal
One of the easiest raids out there right? RIGHT?
Well you probably wont believe it buuuuut... we actually wiped at the boss.
Havent seen a wipe in there since ... i dont know... early heavensward?
Dont even know how it happend. Just noticed that our overall dps was kinda low (saw our BLM using a weird rotation, like Fire 2 followed by Fire 1 and Fire 3...)
And one healer had connection issues.
So yeah. It sure felt nostalgic.

Isn't that the one where once it gets to 10% the other one shows up? Don't you just have to set it that the both die roughly the same time?

Yup thats the one.
After the wipe our tanks used the old strat of tanking the two bosses in different corners so we could burn them down more easily.
It sure was "interesting".

Was there at least one new person? Seems to me that some long time players think the mechanics of the old raids are self-explanatory when they are not. In most content you can ignore adds if the boss dies soon. Kill boss and adds vanish. Why should a new player think otherwise in this raid? Add that they now melt fast and the wipe is freshly baked.

Today I was running roulettes, got Byakko normal.

At the end of the wind phase he shouted "Enough Games!" slammed us into the ground and my client closed..

Bigger Cat Dad say game time was over, it wasn't a request.
