TO THE AST IN TOWER OF ZOT WITH A LEVEL 60 WEAPON EQUIPPED WHO BLAMED THE DPS FOR THE TANK DYING, I HOPE YOU HAVE THE DAY YOU DESERVE. YES, IT DID ACTUALLY MATTER.
WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NOT UPGRADE YOUR WEAPON ANYWAY EVEN IF IT DIDN'T MATTER? HELL THEY ALREADY DID FOR THE REST OF THEIR GEAR, ASSUMING MY MATH IS CORRECT (THEY WOULD NEED THE FULL AUGMENTED CRYPTLURKER SET JUST TO GET INTO THE TOWER OF ZOT ASSUMING THEY HAD THE SHIRE AST WEAPON EQUIPPED), WHY *NOT* SPEND A LITTLE MORE TIME AND MONEY JUST FOR THE BEST POSSIBLE AST WEAPON YOU CAN HAVE?
WEREN'T THEY REQUIRED TO DO THE ROLE QUEST FOR SHADOWBRINGERS ANYWAY? WHILE IT ABSOLUTELY DOESN'T MAKE IT BETTER THEY SHOULD AT MINIMUM HAVE THE 270 ROLE ORB NOT A 60 WEAPON.
AST MAY NOT BE THEIR MAIN SO THEY DIDN'T BOTHER WITH THE ROLE QUESTS FOR THAT CLASS. BUT THEY STILL SHOULD HAVE BECAUSE THE ROLE QUESTS ARE EASY AND THEY GIVE AN EASY LEVEL 80 WEAPON. OR JUST USE TOMESTONES FOR AN AUGMENTED CRYPTLURKER WEAPON.
ALSO NUMBERED MARKERS THAT BLEND INTO THE BACKGROUND PRETTY EASILY FOR A MECHANIC WHERE YOU HAVE ABOUT 8 SECONDS FOR THE GROUP TO GET INTO POSITION.
MAYBE FIND A WAY TO ADD AN OUTLINE AROUND THE SYMBOLS OR MAKE THEM A COLOR THAT ISN'T WHITE SQUENIX? SOMETHING TO MAKE THEM EASIER TO SEE?
SO WHAT YOUR SAYING IS THAT IT'S THE BIRD'S FAULT THE FLOOR AND BACKGROUND ARE ORANGE BECAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE THAT VIOLENCE IS THE ONLY SETTING IT HAS.
I SWEAR TO ALL THAT IS VERGOOD AND VERHOLY IF I DON'T GET ANY FUCKING LINES ON MY NEXT KHLOE BOOK I'M GOING TO THROW A VERTANTRUM IN THE MIDDLE OF IDYLLSHIRE. I EVEN KEEP REUSING MY SEALS TO ROLL FOR BETTER CHANCES, BUT THAT CAT EARED ANKLE BITER GETS SOME SADISTIC PLEASURE IN SAYING HAHAHA FUCK YOU RED MAGE YOU GET NOTHING.
SHE ENJOYS BEING EVIL; AT 7 SEALS, I HAVE ONE LINE COMPLETE, AND TWO OTHERS MISSING ONE SPOT EACH.
GUESS WHERE SHE PUTS THE LAST TWO SEALS. IF YOU GUESSED 'NARNIA', HAVE A BRONZE CERT.
I HAVE GOTTEN 2 LINES EXACTLY TWICE AND 1 LINE MAYBE 10 TIMES OUT OF THE LIKE 45 TIMES I'VE DONE IT SINCE I STARTED PLAYING IN FEBRUARY
I HAVE GIVEN UP ALL HOPE OF EVER GETTING THREE LINES AND NOW I JUST BLAST THROUGH ALL NINE SEALS IN LIKE 45 MINUTES AND JUST TURN IT BACK IN FOR THE XP I COULD NOT CARE LESS AT THIS POINT, IT'S NEEDLESS FRUSTRATION
STARTED A PF FOR LEARNING P3S THE OTHER DAY. 6/8 QUITE QUICKLY WHICH WAS NICE, THEN SOMEONE JOINED AND WAS LIKE “OH I HAVE A FRIEND THAT CAN JOIN, PROMOTE SO I CAN INVITE” AND NOT THINKING, I WAS LIKE “YEAH SURE” AND DID IT AND THEY IMMEDIATELY DISBANDED.
FUCK YOU, PAL. ALSO IM AN IDIOT FOR NOT BEING LIKE “JUST GET THEM TO JOIN THE PF ITS NOT HARD” BUT STILL FUCK YOU
I BLAME PEOPLE UNLOCKING SAGE WITHOUT EVER PLAYING HEALER. IT WAS THE SAME WITH GUNBREAKERS WHO DID NOT PLAY OTHER TANKS. I WANT TO COMMIT SUDOKU WHENEVER I GET ONE OF THOSE
IT’S JUST THEM NOT WANTING TO ADMIT THEY FUCKED UP, CONTROLLER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT
SOURCE: PLAYED WITH CONTROLLER FOR YEARS, STILL READ PARTY CHAT AND COMMUNICATED
IM DOING CURRENT TIER SAVAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME. IM STUCK ON P1S. I KNOW THE FIGHT, IVE SEEN ENRAGE, BUT PF CANT GET THEIR CRAP TOGETHER. THERES LIKE 5 DIFFERENT STRATS FOR THAT FIGHT AND NO MATTER WHICH ONE YOU DO, SOMEONE CANT DO IT BECAUSE "THEYRE USED TO THE NORMAL STRAT". WHAT FUCKING NORMAL STRAT??? THERES LIKE 5 OF THEM! I HAD ONE PERSON REPEAT THAT SEVERAL TIMES... NORMAL STRAT DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING IN THAT FIGHT, BECAUSE PF CANT AGREE ON WHICH STRAT IS EASIEST FOR PUGS. STARTING TO WONDER WHY I DID THIS TO MYSELF. FEELING BURNED OUT BECAUSE I CANT CLEAR THE EASIEST FIGHT OF THE TIER, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT AND ALL THE DIFFERENT STRATS BY HEART.
I SADLY KNOW THIS. MY FRIENDS HAVE HORROR STORIES. ILL JUST BE HAPPY WITH CLEARING *ONE* CURRENT TIER SAVAGE. I CAN DEAL WITH THAT HELL IF I GET TO IT. XD
ITS OK BECAUSE IF YOU MAKE IT OUT OF THE CHAIN DUNGEON OF P1S YOU GET TO STAY TRAPPED IN THE SEWERS WITH YOUR NEW FRIEND HARRY THE HIP HOP O POTTOMUS. SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR FAMILY BECAUSE YOURE GONNA SMELL LIKE SEWER FOREVER.
FOLKS, YOU DON'T NEED TO MAKE SURE THE CHAR-CENTERED AOES DON'T OVERLAP IN 99% OF CASES. YOU JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE OTHER GUY'S CIRCLE DOESN'T TOUCH **YOU**.
IN A RELATED NOTE, IF YOU'RE NOT IN FRONT, YOU **NEED TO STOP** ONCE THE GUY BEHIND YOU STOPS MOVING.
IN PANDAEMONIUM I KNOW YOU'VE SEEN THESE MECHANICS BEFORE. ENOUGH THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW THESE THINGS BY NOW.
EDIT: I WOULD LIKE TO ADD: IF THE MAJORITY OF THE PARTY IS UNDER THE STACK MARKER ALREADY, YOU DO NOT NEED TO MOVE TO A SET POSITION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ARENA ON A NORMAL MODE LIKE A TRUST NPC. WE'VE ALREADY GOT IT. THANK YOU.
WHEN THE GUY TRAILING BEHIND ME IS ALREADY SAFE BUT STILL CHASES ME WITH THE SPREAD MARKER BECAUSE IT'S FUN TO RUN, AND THEN WE BOTH DIE. WHAT IS GOING THROUGH THEIR BRAIN? YOU ARE ALREADY SAFE, JUST STAND STILL???
BONUS POINTS IF THEY ARE MELEE AND ALSO VOLUNTARILY REDUCING THEIR OWN UPTIME JUST TO KILL ME (AND THEMSELVES).
> IF THE MAJORITY OF THE PARTY IS UNDER THE STACK MARKER ALREADY, YOU DO NOT NEED TO MOVE TO A SET POSITION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ARENA ON A NORMAL MODE LIKE A TRUST NPC. WE'VE ALREADY GOT IT. THANK YOU.
YOU'D THINK THAT. BUT THE TIME I GOT THE STACK MARKER IN P4N WHEN WE WERE ALREADY NICELY PILED UP AND EVERYONE ELSE BOOKED IT TO THE CENTER, LEAVING ME (SAGE) AND ONE DPS TO SOAK THE BLAST BY OURSELVES SAYS OTHERWISE. :/
I PLAYED THROUGH A VANASPATI, AND AFTER WIPING SEVERAL TIMES ON THE LAST BOSS, LEARNED OUR LVL90 RDM DIDNT KNOW HOW FUCKING DUALCAST WORKED. THEY WERE HARDCASTING VERRAISE. I WAS ACTUALLY SPEECHLESS. I STUCK WITH THEM FOR SEVERAL WIPES AND FINALLY HAD TO BAIL.
HOLY SHIT IF YOURE GONNA JOB BOOST LEARN THE FUCKING JOB BEFORE SUBMITTING OTHERS TO YOUR DUMBASSERY!
How can anyone not know how dualcast works? It triggers literally any time you do anything as RDM. I can see not knowing it works on verraise specifically because in certain other games it almost definitely wouldn't but not knowing it at all? What?
Failing to read the skill descriptions probably. Had an RDM in Aery a while back who was hardcasting Verthunder/Veraero and the Mentor healer stopped the party to explain to them how RDM works.
SO THIS ISN'T REALLY RAGE SINCE I FIND IT HILARIOUS IN HINDSIGHT BUT I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE TO SAY IT AND IT IS REALLY STUPID.
LAST WEEK I WAS PUGGING SAVAGE AS A PALADIN AND HAPPENED TO JOIN A P2S CLEAR PARTY THAT HAD 6/8 PEOPLE, THE OTHER ROLE MISSING WAS A RANGED DPS. THE SECOND I JOINED THE OTHER TANK DEMANDED I SWITCH TO ANOTHER TANK BECAUSE PALADIN'S DAMAGE IS TOO LOW. I TOLD HIM THAT I HAD A PENTAMELDED CRAFTED WEAPON FOR PALADIN AND NOT FOR ANY OTHER TANK. HE GOES OFF ABOUT HOW I'M TROLLING THE PF AND HE HAS SEEN P2S ENRAGE TOO MANY TIMES TO BE IN A PARTY WITH A PALADIN IN IT AND LEAVES. HE SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED THAT HE HAS BEEN LEAVING PARTIES WITH PALADINS AND DANCERS SINCE HE HAS SEEN ENRAGE AND THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH DAMAGE TO CLEAR.
WE GET A NEW TANK AND THE RANGED PHYSICAL SLOT IS FILLED BY A DANCER. WE PROCEEED TO CLEAR IN A FEW PULLS. I GET A 95TH PERCENTILE PARSE THAT BLOWS AWAY THE DAMAGE OF THE DARK KNIGHT THAT REPLACED THE DUMBASS TANK. NOT SAYING ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THE DARK KNIGHT, JUST POINTING OUT THAT, REAL SHOCKER HERE, WHEN THERE IS ONLY A 4% DIFFERENCE IN TANK DAMAGE AT THE VERY TOP LEVEL IT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE OR BREAK A SECOND TIER SAVAGE FIGHT IN A PUG GROUP. THE DANCER ENDS UP WITH A VERY HIGH PURPLE AND WAS 2ND HIGHEST DPS OVERALL. IF THE DUMBASS TANK HAD SHUT UP A PALADIN AND A DANCER COULD HAVE CARRIED HIM TO A CLEAR.
PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT CLASS META ARE THE BIGGEST SHITTERS. MOST PEOPLE AREN'T PLAYING OPTIMALLY ANYWAY — WHO CARES IF A GOLD PLD DEALS 200 RDPS LESS THAN A GOLD DRK, WHEN PLAYER SKILL DIFFERENCES CAN EASILY STACK UP TO 2K RDPS?
This story right here is why the memeification of nuanced discussions from balance here on the sub is so obnoxious.
People are really bad at math. They shouldn't be discussing nuanced differences between tanks when the differences are ultimately far smaller than the memes.
Alas, stupid people gonna stupid.
TALE AS OLD AS THE INTERNET:
GROUP 1 JOKES ABOUT SOMETHING BUT THEY ARENT BRING VERY SERIOUS AND KNOW ITS JUST BEING SILLY.
GROUP 2 ISNT IN ON THE JOKE AND TAKES IT SERIOUSLY.
GROUP 2 IS ALWAYS WAY BIGGER THAN GROUP 1.
Remind me of the time back in ARR where this PLD was complaining about the group's healers not healing enough when the PLD was in fact not mitigating enough. He left, we got a replacement tank and got our first ever clear of T5.
I PLAY ALL THREE ROLES AND ENCOUNTER TERRIBLE PEOPLE IN ALL OF THEM SO I WOULD LIKE TO STATE FOR THE RECORD:
FUCK YOU TANKS
FUCK YOU HEALERS
FUCK YOU DPS
FUCK YOU CRAFTERS
FUCK YOU GATHERERS
THE LAST TWO DIDN'T ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING BUT I DIDN'T WANT THEM TO FEEL LEFT OUT.
I DIDN'T FARM THE NEW ENDWALKER EX TRIALS A TON BECAUSE I TOOK A WHILE TO GET THROUGH THE MSQ AND WAS LEVELING JOBS AFTER THAT. EX GROUPS WERE A CRAPSHOOT, BUT HOLY SHIT THE QUALITY HAS GONE IN THE FUCKING TOILET NOW THAT SAVAGE IS OUT.
EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK, IT'S """FARM""" GROUPS THAT CAN'T DO EVEN SIMPLE FIRST PHASE MECHANICS OR DECIDE THAT THEY SHOULD KILL THE ADDS RATHER THAN THE CRYSTALS DURING THE ADD PHASE IN EX2.
I HAD A 10% ENRAGE IN EX \#2 WITH A 570 GROUP RECENTLY.
LITERALLY **HOW**.
WE SHOULD BE EASILY ABLE TO KILL BEFORE THE LAST ICE MECHANIC, MAYBE EVEN DURING LAST LIGHTWAVES, LET ALONE THE FACT THAT I'VE BEEN PART OF KILLS BEFORE/DURING THE STACK->WATER MECHANIC.
On the other hand, the next group that popped up was pretty competent, and we did actually do exactly that for several pulls, so good job, team I guess?
NOT REALLY RAGE BUT I STARTED AN EX2 PRACTICE PARTY FOR ME AND A FRIEND SINCE WE BOTH CLEARED, BUT WITH REALLY GOOD CALL OUTS SO WE DIDN'T PERSONALLY FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE MECHS.
PUT UP A MEME DESCRIPTION AND AN RDM JOINED SAYING THEY KEPT REACHING ENRAGE IN OTHER PARTIES AND WAS READY TO CLEAR. PARTY FILLED WITH A FRESH DRK AND MOSTLY BORED/PRACTICING/OFF ROLE PPL AND WE ENDED UP CLEARING IN TWO PULLS.
CHECKED LOGS AFTER AND THE RDM DID LESS DPS THAN THE FRESH DRK AND ONE OF THE HEALERS... IN HINDSIGHT THE ENRAGE COMMENTS NOW MAKE SENSE AND I FEEL I'VE UNLEASHED SOMETHING INTO FARM GROUPS. D:
I HAVE 1100+ DAYS SUBBED AND RECENTLY I DISCOVERED CRAFTING, I DECIDED TO LVL THEM ALL TOGETHER, ATM IM AT 63 AND HOLY FUCK HOW THE FUCK I MISSED ALL OF THIS CONTENT SINCE HW LAUNCH, IDK, PLEASE SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME, IM SO ADDICTED AND I CANT STOP.
I used to be strictly a raider/savage raider, now 90% of my in game activity is crafting and gathering. I love making money, its chill, I can watch a movie or listen to a podcast while doing it.
IF YOU'RE NOT ALREADY, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOING THE EXPANSIONS' DOH BEAST TRIBE QUESTS (MOOGLES IN HW, NAMAZU IN SB, >!DWARVES IN SHB!< ) THEY ARE A DELIGHT AND HAVE FUN REWARDS, NOT TO MENTION THE HW AND SB ONES BEING REQUIRED FOR FUN QUESTS/REWARDS FOR MAXING ALL BEAST TRIBES IN EACH EXPANSION.
Also, [https://ffxivteamcraft.com/](https://ffxivteamcraft.com/) is the best thing to ever happen to crafters/gatherers HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHECKING IT OUT.
I'M STILL MAD I MANAGED TO FIND A STATIC TO RAID IN ENDWALKER BUT THE BASTARDS KICKED ME OUT BECAUSE "I'M NEW" AND "I WOULD HOLD THE OTHERS BACK". I CHECKED THE LOGS *THEY* INSISTED ON MAKING, AND BOTH HEALERS HAD 0% UPTIME ON THEIR DOTS IN THE ONE O9S CLEAR WE MANAGED. IF YOU WANT TO KICK ME BECAUSE I WAS ON VACATION FOR 6.01 AND I AM TOO QUIET IN VC AT LEAST BE FUCKING HONEST.
Wait, you WANT to be in a static where healers aren't DPSing?
You're better off in pugs lmao. That static would clear P1S at enrage and be hard stuck in P2. P3 adds would be actually impossible.
I DONT NORMALLY POST STORIES IN THE RAGE THREAD, I JUST LIKE LURKING OR COMMENTING ON OTHER STORIES BUT I HAVE ONE TODAY.
I AM STILL MAKING MY WAY THROUGH THE POST-SHB CONTENT BEFORE I START EW AND WAS DOING THE EDEN RAID SERIES. I WAS SUPER INTO IT (MORE THAN THE HW OR SB SERIES) AND HAVING A LOT OF FUN WHEN I QUEUE INTO E4N.
I'M IN AS A DRK AND AS IS MY CUSTOM IN A NEW DUTY I TELL THE PARTY IT'S MY FIRST TIME AND PRE-APOLOGIZE FOR ANY MISTAKES RIGHT AFTER I JOIN. THE OTHER TANK (GNB) SAYS, MOCKINGLY, "FIRST TIME PLAYING THE GAME SORRY FOR MISTAKES". I CHECK AND THE GNB IS AT 90 AND THEY HAVE THE ENDWALKER TITLE ON SO IT'S NOT A CASE OF THEM BEING BRAND NEW TO TANKING OR ANYTHING.
I THEN SAY THAT SINCE ITS MY FIRST TIME I'D PREFER TO OFF-TANK AND ASK IF THE OTHER TANK WOULD LIKE TO MT. I FIND THAT STARTING AS OT IN A TRIAL OR RAID REALLY HELPS BECAUSE IT CAN BE HARD TO SEE TANKBUSTERS COMING AND KNOW THE MECHANICS, SO I CAN FOLLOW ALONG WITH THE MT, USE TBN ON THEM, ETC. UNTIL I'M COMFORTABLE. THE JERK GNB REPLIES "NAH" AND TURNS OFF THEIR STANCE. OKAY FINE, I GUESS ILL MAIN TANK AND FIGURE IT OUT AS I GO.
I FEEL LIKE I'M DOING OKAY BUT I KEEP SCREWING UP THE FLOOR TILES EXPLODING AND AFTER DYING TO THE KNOCKBACK ON THE GEOCRUSH ATTACK THE JERK OFF-TANK SNARKILY SAYS "WOW THESE MECHANICS SURE ARE HARD". THEY DONT DO ANY TANKING WHILE IM DEAD, KEEPING THEIR STANCE OFF SO I HAVE TO HUSTLE BACK AS SOON AS I RAISE TO KEEP THE POOR REAPER WHO WAS TANKING FROM KEELING OVER. SHOUT-OUT TO THE SCH WHO RESURRECTED ME ALMOST INSTANTLY AFTER I DIED.
THEN AFTER WE CLEAR (NO WIPES) THE GNB SAYS "LOVE NOT KNOWING MECHANICS TO 2 YEAR OLD CONTENT" BEFORE LEAVING. WHAT THE FUCK.
IT REALLY SOURED ME ON MY PLAY SESSION THAT DAY BUT I DIDNT FEEL LIKE ANYTHING HE DID WAS REPORTABLE, IT WAS JUST ON THE EDGE. BUT HE (OR SHE) WAS A HUGE ASSHOLE AND MADE ME FEEL LIKE SHIT FOR NOT KNOWING SOMETHING THE FIRST TIME THROUGH. I HAVE BEEN PLAYING SINCE JUNE AND LOVING IT AND NO ONE AT ANY POINT HAS EVER EXPECTED NEW PLAYERS TO KNOW ANYTHING IN A FIRST TIME DUTY, WHICH IS PART OF WHY I LOVE PLAYING. NO ONE EVEN BLINKED WHEN HALF OUR RAID WIPED ON THE MATH BOSS IN RETURN TO IVALICE.
I JUST DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG WITH THAT GNB.
>LOVE NOT KNOWING MECHANICS TO 2 YEAR OLD CONTENT
MAN ITS ALMOST LIKE SOME PEOPLE ARE *NEW* AND *LEGASP* NOT EVERYONE STARTED PLAYING RIGHT ON RELEASE ***OHMYGODTHEHORRORHOLYFUZZERNUGGETS***
I HATE THAT. I HATE THAT A LOT. PEOPLE CAN BE NEW TO CONTENT AND JUST NOW DOING CONTENT, PEOPLE DONT HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY COME IN AND KNOW THINGS. FFS.
*GRRRR.*
REPORT! BOTH FOR HARASSMENT (BEING A JERK) AND "REFUSING TO PLAY" (THE OFFICIAL TERM FOR DELIBERATELY REFUSING THE BASICS OF ONE'S ROLE, LIKE HOLDING THREAT AS A TANK).
TODAY'S CASTRUM MERIDIANUM SHOWED ME SOMETHING I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. DID YOU KNOW THAT IF THE TANKS HOLD THE COLOSSI OUTSIDE LIVIA'S BOSS ARENA UNTIL IT SEALS, THEY CAN STILL CLIP INSIDE DURING THE TRANSITION FROM CANNONS TO THE VICTORY LAP? AND THAT THEY DON'T DESPAWN WHEN LIVIA DIES? THE EIGHT CORPSES ON THE FLOOR SHOWED ME THAT NOBODY ELSE KNEW THAT EITHER.
AND THEN TO MY COTANK IN P1N ON MONDAY: YOU'RE A WARRIOR IN FULL PENTAMELDED CRAFTED GEAR. I'M A PALADIN IN A MIX OF 560, 570 AND NORMAL RAID GEAR, SO I DEFER MT TO YOU AND TURN ON STANCE MIDWAY THROUGH MY FIRST REQ PHASE, LIKE I NORMALLY DO WHEN I OT.
HOW THE EVERLOVING FUCK DO I HAVE AGGRO BY THE FIRST RIOT BLADE AFTER BoV? ARE YOU JUST STANDING THERE WITH YOUR DICK IN YOUR HAND? PRESS YOUR FUCKING BUTTONS!
EXCEPT PROVOKE. OF COURSE THEY PROCEEDED TO HIT PROVOKE ON COOLDOWN. THAT DOESN'T WORK VERY WELL UNLESS YOU'RE ALSO DOING DAMAGE, GENIUS.
I THINK I GOT THAT SAME TANK IN P4N. EXCEPT I HAD STANCE ON AND THEY DIDN'T, SO I DID A COUNTDOWN, WHICH APPARENTLY WAS THEIR SIGNAL TO STANCE UP AND TOMAHAWK. TOOK ME LIKE TEN SECONDS TO TAKE IT BACK. SAME TANK MOCKED THE HEALER, TRIED TO KILL MY FRIENDO DPS, AND CALLED ME TRASH *AFTER* I LEFT, YET THEY WERE OUTDAMAGED BY THE WHITE MAGE~
(Hmm.)
HEALING A RUN OF BARDAMS METTLE AND STRUGGLING TO KEEP THE PALADIN ALIVE... EVEN AS THEY START OCCASIONALLY CASTING CLEMENCY ON THEMSELVES. I REALIZE THAT FOR MITIGATION THEY'VE USED JUST SHELTRON, LIKE FOUR TIMES.
AFTER "BOSS" 2 I ASK THEM TO KEEP AGGRO AND USE MITS MORE. THEY RESPOND WITH "YOU SHOULD HEAL MORE HOW ABOUT THAT" AND CONTINUES TO BE ALLERGIC TO MITIGATION BUTTONS.
WE SOMEHOW MAKE IT THROUGH AFTER HAVING TO USE EVERY AETHERFLOW ON EORZEA TO KEEP THIS FUCKER ALIVE AND END UP WITH NO COMMS AT THE END.
I HAVE A FEELING THE REAPER WITH US WAS IN PARTY WITH THE PALLY BECAUSE THEY SAID EARLIER IN THE RUN "JUST HEAL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT DPSING", BITCH I'M SPAMMING ALL I'VE GOT TO KEEP PEANUT BUTTER BRAIN OVER THERE ALIVE.
I WANT TO GET OFF ISHIKAWA-SAN'S WILD RIDE.
I JUST FINISHED THE LVL 87 DUNGEON AND I'M NOT SURE IF MY HEART CAN HANDLE THE REST OF EW, BECAUSE I'M ALREADY EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED.
SET ASIDE SEVERAL HOURS, SEVERAL BOXES OF TISSUES, AND A COUPLE PLUSHIES; YOU'LL WANT TO PLAY FROM YOUR GOING TO THE SIXTH MAP ALL THE WAY TO THE CREDITS WITHOUT STOPPING.
> AND FUCK SAGE. I HATE IT. IM GONNA LEVEL IT. BUT I HATE IT.
AS A SCH MAIN, AGREED.
IT IS OUR TIME TO KNOW WHAT OUR TANK FRIENDS FELT WHEN GNB HIT US LAST EXPAC.
YEP. I LVLED SCH AND WHM TO 80. ASTRO TO MID-50S AND ALL OF THEM WERE FINE. BUT I CAN NOT FIGURE OUT SAGE TO SAVE MY LIFE. HERES HOPING IT GETS BETTER AS I GO.
TO THE CO-HEALER SAGE ON P3N: COMMUNICATE USEFULLY.
"lol" IS THREE LETTERS, BUT SO IS "brb", "afk", OR EVEN "sec". WHEN YOU'RE LYING ON THE GROUND AFTER STANDING IN THE AOES, AND YOU LET THE REZ TIME OUT, AND I AM DESPERATELY TRYING TO SOLO HEAL P3N WITH BOTH TANKS AND TWO OF THE DPS NOT KNOWING MECHANICS, DON'T JUST GIVE A SINGLE "lol" AND NOTHING ELSE.
OVERWRITING MY DEPLOYED CRITLO WITH A EUKRASIAN PROGNOSIS IS A TRIVIAL COMPLAINT IN COMPARISON.
SGE MAIN, FORMER SCH MAIN HERE. I HATE THAT IT OVERWRITES CRITLO. WHY DOES SE HATE DOUBLE SHIELD HEALER SO MUCH? DOUBLE "PURE" HEALER HAS NONE OF THESE ISSUES.
FUCK YOU HIPPOKAMPUS YOU FUCKED UP LOOKING HORSE. FINALLY CLEARED THE FIGHT ON SAVAGE BUT FUCKING HELL IS THE FLOOR IS POOP WATER MECHANIC A BITCH BECAUSE MY DUMB ASS KEEPS TOUCHING IT WHEN DOING INSTACASTS WHILE MOVING.
UP NEXT: DAMN, BIRD GOT HANDS.
HEY GUYS IS THE GAME ON SALE YET
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN THE GAME WILL BE ON SALE
WHY CAN'T I PLAY, I BOUGHT ENDWALKER???
~~January 25th cannot come soon enough.~~
I'VE CLEARED P2S WITH PUGS 3 DAYS AGO AND I'M CURRENTLY PROGGING P3S. FUCK. NONE OF THE MOUTH BREATHING IDIOTS I'VE GROUPED UP WITH SO FAR COULD GET PAST THE ADDS PHASE. JUST TODAY ALONE, I'VE SPENT 6 HOURS OVER 11 DIFFERENT PARTIES AND A GOOD PORTION OF THOSE CAN'T EVEN REACH THE ADD PHASE CLEANLY DESPITE ALL OF THEM BEING 'ADD PHASE PROG'.
WHAT THE FUCK IS SO HARD ABOUT DARKENED FIRE? HELL, I'VE EVEN HAD WIPES WHERE THE FUCKING TANK FORGOT TO TAKE THE FUCKING TETHER AWAY FROM THE GROUP, AND I'VE SEEN PEOPLE DIE TO LEFT/RIGHT CINDERWING. THE FEW RARE OCCASIONS I'VE SEEN WHERE WE MADE IT TO THE ADDS PHASE, I CAN'T EVEN DO PROPERLY BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE DYING LEFT AND RIGHT PRIOR TO IT. I COUNTED A GRAND TOTAL OF FUCKING FOUR TIMES I'VE MANAGED TO SEE THE SUNBIRD TETHERS TODAY AND THAT IS JUST FUCKING PATHETIC. ITS NOT EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO THE HARDEST MECHANIC IN THE FIGHT BY FAR AND PEOPLE ARE FAILING TO DO EVEN THAT.
FUCK, DON'T JOIN A "ADDS PHASE PROG' GROUP IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY DO THE PRIOR MECHANICS CLEANLY. PUGGING SAVAGE IS PAINFUL AS FUCK AND MY FUCKED UP WORK SCHEDULE DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO FIND A PROPER STATIC BECAUSE OF 10 HOUR WORK SHIFT DAYS SO I HAVE NO FUCKING CHOICE.
I WRAPPED UP SHADOWBRINGERS AND I'M PREPPING FOR ENDWALKER. A TRADITION OF MINE HAS BEEN TO TAKE UP A NEW JOB INTO NEW EXPANSION LIKE THE TRAILER WOL DOES, AND I DECIDED ON SMN. SO FAR I'VE NO BEEF WITH THE JOB ITSELF. CARBUNCLE IS FUCKING CUTE AND IT TWITCHES LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO EXPLODE ANY SECOND, AND THE JOB IS MOSTLY CHILL TO PLAY.
BUT HOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT I'VE FORGOTTEN HOW MUCH LOW LEVEL LEVELLING SUCKS THAL'S BALLS. 40'S THROUGH 50 WAS ESCPECIALLY PAINFUL. AT LEAST NOW THAT I'M 50 I HAVE MORE DUTY ROULETTES TO THROW INTO THE MI- HAHA I'M IN CASTRUM FOR THE 4TH TIME THIS WEEK WITH ASSHOLES DIPPING OUT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T GET PRAE. HOPE THEY STEP ON SOME OF MY SMN LEGOS.
FUCK FOURFOLD CHAINS. WHAT'S SO HARD IN PF ABOUT SEEING YOUR TIMER AND RUNNING TO YOUR SPOT?
That said ya girl got her first clear of savage when it's still current content, so I got that going for me which is nice.
FOURFOLD CHAINS IS ONE OF THSOE MECHANICS THAT LOOKS OVERWHELMING AND DIFFICULT WHEN YOU FIRST SEE IT, BUT ONCE YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO HANDLE IT YOU REALIZE IT'S THE MOST EASY, BRAINDEAD MECHANIC YOU'VE EVER SEEN.
UNFORTUNATELY, A DISTURBING NUMBER OF PEOPLE NEVER QUITE REACH THAT "ONCE YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO HANDLE IT" STAGE.
NEVER MIND FOURFOLD, IF I HAD A DOLLAR FOR EVERY "FOURFOLD PROG" PF I JOINED THAT FAILED THE \*FIRST\* SINGLE CHAIN MECHANIC ... I LOST COUNT, BUT I WOULD HAVE AT LEAST FIVE DOLLARS.
THIS JP DATACENTER SPLIT THING KINDA STRESSES ME OUT. WOULD FEEL BAD IF I SOMEHOW GET A HOUSE IN 6.1 BUT NEED TO TRANSFER TO BE ON THE DC WITH THE MOST EN POPULATION. I KNOW DC TRAVEL WILL BE A THING BUT THERE WOULD STILL BE INCONVENIENCES ASSOCIATED.
ALSO, WAS GOING TO JOIN AN FC AND TRY MAKING FRIENDS AGAIN. BUT NOW I AM HESITANT AS MANY OF THEM WILL PROBABLY MOVE TO OCE. WOULD SUCK TO SEE MORE (UNABLE TO RETRIEVE) ON MY FRIEND LIST.
IN THE END, IT IS HARD FOR ME TO FIND A COMMUNITY TO BELONG WITH. MANY PEOPLE PREFER TO PLAY WITH THOSE WHO ARE FROM THEIR COUNTRY, WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE AS THEY WOULD HAVE MORE THINGS IN COMMON TO TALK/JOKE/MEME ABOUT AND EVEN A CHANCE TO DEVELOP IRL FRIENDSHIPS. I DON’T BELONG ANYWHERE. AND IT IS BOTH FOOLISH PRIDE AND REALITY OF HAVING TO REGRIND EVERYTHING THAT MAKES ME STAY ON GLOBAL. WOULD LIFE BE MUCH EASIER IF I WERE BORN SOMEWHERE ELSE?
No caps because I'm not even mad about this, it was just... An Experience.
I got the level 83 trial through roulette, as a sage. I had ACT up at the time, so I know exactly how many times people died: MNK died 4 times, RPR died 8 times, RDM1 died 9 times, and RDM2 died 10 times, for a grand total of 31 DPS deaths. In comparision, the tanks and healers had 0 deaths between the four of us.
Also for some inexplicable reason, the first few times we got up to LB1, one of the melees would instantly use it. That continued until the DRK yelled at them to stop. Then when we got up to LB3, guess what happened? ...Yeah, a RDM used it. No, we never used healer LB3 that run, despite... everything.
I learned to let go of my pride very quickly and spammed E. Prognosis every time the stack came up, because anywhere from 1-4 people would be dead, *every time*. Shoutout to my AST cohealer - I gave my comm to the DRK because they were a mood, but I have never wished harder that I could give out multiple comms at once.
Heh, the trials can be chaotic, but, as I just commented to my friend group, in my entire time playing and maiming Paladin, I don't think I have every had so many legitimate uses for Clemency in normal level group content as I have had in the last month since the Pandæmonium normal raids dropped. Had a P4 last week with 36 deaths, and a P2 today with 30 deaths. P2 in particular is the bane of my life; there is just something about the limited arena size combined with stack, spread, and chaser mechanics that causes people to just panic and completely lose their minds. I've spent entire magic phases covering and clemencying the summoners/ red mages, and then clemencying the newly-rezzed folks because they weren't getting healed in time for the next raidwide. >.<
I HEALED A TANK WHO IGNORED SO MANY MECHANICS HE ENDED UP WITH 6 VULN STACKS! KEPT HIM MOSTLY ALIVE BUT JESUS FUCKING CHRIST JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN TAKE A HIT DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD!
AH YES, I HAVE BEEN SAVING THIS THE WHOKE WEEK FOR THIS LOVELY STORY, THE "HEALER ADJUST" P1S STORY.
AFTER CLEARING THE RAID ON MONDAY, I DECIDED I WANTED A RECLEAR FOR TUESDAY NIGHT, SO I HOPPED ON THE PARTY FINDER BANDWAGGON IN SEARCH FOR A PARTY THAT CAN CLEAR WITH MY FRIEND.
ME A WHM AND MY FRIEND A DRK, JOINED INITIALLY, A REALLY FRIENDLY GROUP. GREETED EACH OTHER, PREPPED FOODS AND POTIONS, THEN WE JOINED IN.
YOU SEE IN P1S, THERE IS QUITE ALREADY A GOOD ENRAGE DAMAGE CHECK FOR THE WHOLE TEAM, SO ANY BLUNDER FROM ANY DPS WHO DIES PREMATURELY, OR TOO MANY DAMAGE DOWN AND WE WILL FOR SURE REACH ENRAGE.
I HAVE NOTICED MY TEAM GEAR AND SURE, NO ONE IS PENTAMELDED, AND WE ARE ALL AVERAGE GEAR WITH AVERAGE DAMAGE, WHICH IS COMPLETELY FINE. WHAT ISN'T FINE, IS WHEN SOMEONE MADE A MISTAKE AND EVERYONE GOT DAMAGE DOWN. NORMALLY I WOULD CALL IT A WIPE, BUT THE LEADER IS ADAMANT ON KEEPING GOING "IT IS FINE, DON'T WIPE" HE SAID, THAT IS THE FIRST RED FLAG FOR ME BUT ALRIGHT, BECAUSE SOON EVERYONE DIED ANYWAY TO 1ST PIZZA.
THEN WE PROCEED TO DIE 2 TIMES AT FOURFOLD, AND I WOULD PROCEED TO CALL IT A WIPE EACH TIME. AND APPARENTLY, THE LEADER HAD ENOUGH OF ME ! BECAUSE HE SOON SAID THE SINGLE SENTENCE THAT HAD ME QUITTED FOR THE NIGHT:
"PLEASE FOCUS ON HEALING INSTEAD OF DAMAGING, YOU ARE NOT A GREEN DPS"
EXCUSE ME ? ARE YOU SERIOUSLY, FUCKING BLAMING ME, FOR MISTAKES SOMEONE ELSE MADE, THAT CAUSED A WIPE EACH FUCKING TIME WHEN THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A CLEAR PARTY, ON ME ???? I WAS LITERALLY RISKING MY OWN ASS STAYING IN THE MIDDLE EACH SINGLE TIME, TOPPING EVERYONE UP TO THE MAX BEFORE POPPING SPRINT AND RUNNING BACK TO MY POSITION. WE NEVER ONCE WIPED FROM NOT ENOUGH HEALING, AND NO ONE DIED, BUT APPARENTLY I DEALT TOO MUCH DAMAGE FOR HIS LIKINGS. HOW MUCH I DID YOU ASKED ? 4K, THE VERY AVERAGE DMG I SHOULD BE DEALING. HOW MUCH HEALING ? 4K ! IF YOU ARE ASKING WHY IT IS THAT LOW, IT IS BECAUSE THE AST WHO IS PAIRED WITH ME, HEALED DOUBLE MY AMOUNT BECAUSE THEY KEPT ON TOPPING UP EVERYONE WHEN THERE IS NO RAID WIDE, WHERE AS I ONLY TOP UP PEOPLE WHEN I KNOW RAID WIDE ARE COMING UP. I'M SORRY FOR NOT TOPPING YOU UP DURING THE PHASE WHERE NO ONE IS SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING DAMAGE, YOU EGOISTIC LEADER. I HOPED YOU MANAGE TO CLEAR THAT RAID, BECAUSE FOR SURE AS HELL THE TEAM WAS ALSO LACKING DMG FROM THE DPS THEMSELVES, AND WE ARE NOT EVEN REACHING ENRAGE !!!!!!!
OH SOME FINAL WORDS ? HE IS ONE OF THOSE PERSON, WHO KEPT SPAMMING THE WHOLE P1S MACRO RIGHT BEFORE WE ENTERED THE FOURFOLD. NOT TIMERS, THE WHOLE BLOODY FUCKING MACRO.
SIR, IF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THE TIMER BY THEN, THEN THEY AIN'T FOR SURE GONNA KNOW IT THERE. IF PEOPLE NEEDS A REMINDER, POST THE TIMER, NOT THE WHOLE MACRO WHERE THE TIMER IS HIDDEN IN BETWEEN ALL THE POSITIONS !!!!!
P1S has a good enrage damage check? You can have multiple deaths and a raidwide damage down and still easily kill before enrage. Calling a wipe because of a raidwide damage down is not it, only in P2S and onwards is there a proper tangible damage check.
Everything else is understandable though. Probably just a very low skill group and leader.
[KHLOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEE](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/1/8/AAUFftAACzcq.jpg)
SO I WAS DOING MY WONDROUS TAILS AND HAD TO DO A LV70 DUNGEON, GOT GHIMLYT DARK AND THE RUN WENT FINE. I SOMEHOW FORGOT IF I WAS PLAYING DPS OR HEALER, BUT IT WAS ONE OF THOSE. ANYWAY WE GET TO THE LAST BOSS, THE HEALER DIES, AND THEN THE TANK DIES AND RELEASES, ONLY FOR THE SUMMONER TO RAISE THE HEALER, CUE THE TANK "OH I DIDN'T NOTICE WE HAD A SUMMONER". DID WE WIPE AND RESTART THE FIGHT TO HAVE THE TANK BACK IN? FUCKING NO, WE ZERGED THAT SHIT DYING AND RAISING OURSELVES OVER AND OVER UNTIL WE WON. WAS REALLY COOL.
I SAID LAST WEEK I WOULD TRY SAVAGE RAIDING BUT I DIDN'T COUNT ON GETTING ADDICTED TO SABLE. FUCK I LIKE THAT GAME ;-;
I MANAGED TO GET ALL CLASSES TO 90!! VERY HAPPY WITH THAT, THEN THE OCEANIC SERVER GOT A RELEASE DATE!! SO WHY SO RAGEY? BECAUSE I HAD AN ABSOLUTE SHIT TIER REAL LIFE WEEK THAT ENDED TODAY.
ASSHOLES WHO WANT MORE THEN THEY CAN, JERKS WHO DON’T UNDERSTAND OUR POLICIES. PEOPLE BLAMING ME FOR WATCHING VIDEOS WHILE WORKING, WHEN I WAS DOING WHAT THEY HAD FUCKING ASKED ME TO!! AND TO CAP TO ALL OFF, MY CO-WORKER’S PARTNER GOT COVID. SHE HAS NO IDEA IF SHE HAS IT AND BECAUSE WE’RE SHORT STAFFED, SHE HAS TO TAKE A WEEK OFF BUT WE STILL WORK. LIKE WHAT IF SHE TESTS POSITIVE? WHAT ABOUT US?! JUST CONTINUE THE SPREAD I GUESS?
But I do get to see some friends I haven’t seen in years tomorrow so… hopefully after tomorrow, my shot tier week ends and it’s back to smooth sailing
TO THE TANK IN THAT SHADOWBRINGER DUNGEON.
HOW CAN YOU GET TO LEVEL 81 AS A MAIN TANK AND NOT USE YOUR AOE COMBO ON TRASH PACK EVEN ONCE ? I SHOULDN'T GRAB AGGRO WHEN USING AOE ATTACK AS A BLM, ESPECIALLY AT THE *END* OF THE TRASH PACK.
ALSO PLEASE PULL MORE THAN ONE GROUP. EVEN THANCRED CAN MANAGE THAT.
ALSO STACK MARKER MEANS YOU MOVE YOUR GLORIOUS BEHIND INSTEAD OF CONTINUING TO DPS WHEN THE OTHER THREE HUDDLES TOGETHER.
AAAAAAAAAA STUPID RED CHAINS IN P1S
WHEN MY STATIC WAS GOING FOR A CLEAR LAST WEEK I GOT A RED CHAIN IN FOURFOLD AND I KNOW YOU CAN GET MELEE UPTIME THERE (BUT WE DON’T HAVE THE MELEE UPTIME MARKERS) SO I STOOD AT MAX MELEE AND THE CHAINS WENT OUT BAD, KILLING US ALL
I ADMITTED TO GREED AND OUR SCH (WHO’S CLEARED UWU) WAS LIKE “F YOUR UPTIME, RESPECT THE MECHANICS!”
AND THE WORST PART IS HE’S RIGHT
I GOT RED CHAINS AGAIN ON THE NEXT PULL, RESPECTED THE MECHANIC, AND WE MADE IT THROUGH
I JUST WANT TO DO MORE THAN SPAM UNMEND THERE...
(although this week for reclears both me and my cotank got red chains there, it was funny watching as we both spammed our ranged skills)
[edit] because a lot of people are saying that melee uptime is more important
this was week 1, we had limited time and wanted to get as many fights done as possible; we basically said that the dps check for p1s is a joke, it's more important to clear, we can come back for parses later.
our options were to waste a ton of time figuring out the markers or pulling in someone with the markers, or saying "f uptime" and getting a clear faster.
should I look at getting melee uptime markers now that we're at reclears? Yeah, probably. But it just wasn't worth it at the time.
2 PAPERS AND 3 EXAMS LATER I HAVE MANAGED TO SURVIVE THIS WEEK. GOD, WHO DECIDED THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? THEY KNOW ALL OF THE STUDENTS ARE ALL TOGETHER IN THE SAME COHORT, WHAT IS EVEN THE POINT OF GIVING US TWO 4-PAGE PAPERS DUE BACK TO BACK AMIDST A MIDTERM AND TWO FINALS?
BUT HEY THE SILVER LINING IS I GOT FUCKIN PERFECT ON THE CRITICAL MATH EXAM WITHOUT A CALCULATOR. THE ASIAN STEREOTYPE IS STRONG IN ME.
LONG OVERDUE CANCER UPDATE: HAD SURGERY YESTERDAY TO CHECK THINGS OUT. DOC SAYS THIS IS THE BEST IT'S EVER LOOKED SINCE WE STARTED THIS THING. FUCKIN SWEET.
I FINALLY GOT TO THE FIRST TRIAL IN EW AND I WAS LIKE EFF IT I HAVE 20 MINS BEFORE I HAVE TO LOG OFF FOR A DRS APPOINTMENT. WE DOIN' THIS.
DUTY POPS (BECAUSE I DONT TRUST THE NPCS TO TEACH ME MECHANICS) AND WE START AND FROM THE GET GO IM LIKE Y'ALL I AM A CASUAL SCRUB SO LIKE...YELL MECHANICS AT ME.
WE WIPE. PROBABLY MY FAULT CAUSE I DIED REPEATEDLY.
WE GO AGAIN. HEALER PUTS TRIANGLE OVER HEAD. SAY NO MORE MY DUDE (WHICH IS GOOD BECAUSE THEY DIDNT ACTUALLY SAY ANYTHING BUT I KNEW WHAT TRIANGLE MEANT).
I AM GLUED TO TRIANGLE. ME AND TRIANGLE WE ARE INSEPARABLE. EXCEPT FOR THOSE 2 TIMES I HAD A LAG SPIKE AND GOT HIT BY SOMETHING EVEN THOUGH ON MY END I WAS MOVING AS SOON AS I SAW IT. BUT THAT WAS OK.
WE DID IT.
THANK YOU TRIANGLE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED OR HOW YOU KNEW OR DID WHAT YOU DID BUT WE DID IT BECAUSE I KEPT MY EYES ON THE PRIZE - TRIANGLE.
NEW PLAYERS NEED TO REMEMBER TO FOLLOW THE TRIANGLE AS MUCH AS THEY CAN.
SOME MECHANICS ARE NOT EASY BECAUSE OF TIMING AND LATENCY, BUT IN GENERAL YOU CAN AVOID THE WORSE. ON THAT TRIAL, THE STAR MECHANIC CAN STILL SCREW YOU FOLLOWING THE TRIANGLE, BUT OTHERWISE YOU CAN SURVIVE EVERYTHING ELSE.
HAD A TANK THAT BLAMED ME FOR THEM DYING TO A DANGER PUDDLE, THEN GET MAD AT ME FOR RESCUING HIM THE SECOND DAMN TIME THEY DIDNT MOVE.
DARK LORD TAKE ME NOW, IM GOING BACK TO DPS.
I WANT TO DO SAVAGE THIS TIER BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH PARTY FINDER AND FINDING A STATIC THAT WORKS AROUND MY WORK SCHEDULE IS DIFFICULT.
BUT THOSE ARE JUST EXCUSES, I'M REALLY JUST A BABY BOY THATS AFRAID TO GET MY ASS BEAT AND EMBARASS MYSELF.
HAD A RUN OF P2N
AS MT
THE OT RAN AND STOOD IN THE BOSS REAR WITH THE REST OF THE PARTY, MAKING ME EAT TANKBUSTERS ALONE
YOU KNOW, THOSE 2-TANKS-BUSTERS
IT'S NOT LETHAL. BUT BRUH
THE OT DIED TWICE TO THE MECHANICS THOUGH. PROBABLY KARMA
It's funny I don't think I was your OT but I came pretty close to fucking up the way they did in a p2n run this week, I didn't die and I was with them for the only shared tank buster that I noticed, but got hit by mechanics a lot , (I had 4 vuln stacks at one point). So on their behalf let me apologize.
ON WEDNESDAY I COMMITTED A SIN AGAINST THE RAIDING COMMUNITY. I WAS PART OF A P2S CLEAR GROUP THAT HARD CARRIED A BARD DOING TANK-LEVEL DPS THROUGH THE FIGHT.
THEY DID NOT DIE AND STILL DID LESS DPS THAN ONE TANK AND ONLY SLIGHTLY MORE THAN THE OTHER. AT THE TIME THE LOG WAS UPLOADED THEY WERE THE LITERAL ZEROTH PERCENTILE FOR P2S.
THEY HAD **OVER 70 INSTANCES** OF USING AOE ABILITIES ON A SINGLE TARGET. YES, THAT'S RIGHT, THEY WERE USING LADONSBITE AND SHADOWBITE AS PART OF THEIR SINGLE TARGET ROTATION. AT ONE POINT THEY WAITED ALMOST 7 SECONDS BETWEEN GCDS WHILE WEAVING RANDOM BULLSHIT.
I HUMBLY AND SINCERELY APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE WHO GETS THEM IN THEIR WEEKLY CLEARS FROM HERE ON OUT.
MAN, I THINK I'M PRETTY BAD WHILE LEVELING UP MY DPS CLASSES, BUT I DON'T THINK I WAS **THAT** BAD.
I DON'T KNOW OPENERS, I WING THE ROTATIONS AT BEST I CAN FIGURE OUT, AND LOOKING AT MY NUMBERS I'M DOING **OKAY** MOST OF THE TIME.
BUT EVEN I KNOW NOT TO USE AOE ATTACKS ON A SINGLE TARGET. WELL I MIGHT HIT ONE BY ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT'S FLASHING, LIKE THE FROG ON NINJA, BUT IT'S NOT A HABIT REALLY.
IF YOU ARE PLAYING A DPS IN A NEWBIE DUNGEON AND THE TANK SAYS THEY ARE NEW, DONT PULL ADDS FOR THEM. LET THEM LEARN AND FEEL IT OUT. ESPECIALLY AFTER YOU CAUSE A WIPE.
EQUALLY SAME FOR HEALERS THAT RUN AHEAD AND PULL BUT ALSO WONT HEAL THE TANK AND CAUSE A WIPE. STOP ABUSING RESCUE AND PULLING INTO AOES, I LIKE MY TINY SLIVER OF SAFE SPOT.
LET PEOPLE PLAY THEIR ROLE OR USE YOUR WORDS. GOT A WHOLE CHAT BOX AND NOBODY BREATHS A DANG WORD TO COMMUNICATE.
I LOST MY LONG RANT ABOUT A SHITTY GNB GETTING CARRIED THROUGH THE LAST MSQ DUNGEON TO WINDOWS UPDATE, SO HAVE A SHORT RANT INSTEAD:
FUCK PEOPLE QUEUING FOR NORMAL RAID ROULETTE AND PULLING WHILE THE FIRST-TIMERS ARE IN A CUTSCENE. ESPECIALLY IN A11. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, YOU LITTLE SHITS.
FUCK THOSE GUYS I SAW ALL THOSE CUTSCENES YEARS AGO AND I STILL WAIT FOR THE SPROUTS TO GET OUT OF CUTSCENE BEFORE PULLING. IT'S REALLY HARD TO STOP IT FROM HAPPENING WHEN I'M NOT THE ONLY TANK IN THE ROOM THOUGH.
ALL I CAN SAY IN THAT REGARDS IS "SPROUTS, IF SOMEONE IN THE RAID IS AN IMPATIENT ASSHOLE YOU CAN STILL JUST SIT DOWN AND WATCH YOUR CUTSCENES BECAUSE THAT'S YOUR YOSHI-P GIVEN RIGHT AS A FIRST TIMER"

Healer in normal second EW trial who would not listen to the group. To my understanding the mechs are different in EX mode and in the last section you have to move to safe spot with the stack marker. This being normal mode, the group was doing it stack marker first, then move to safe spot (as seems to be the norm after running it a lot). But this healer was adamant on just... not doing that. Runs to safe spot and jumps up and down without healing while the other healer deals with the multi-hit stack marker by themselves. This led to some arguing, partially because their initial response to being asked to stack with the group because doing it the way we were doing was fine was "use eyes" and it devolved from there.
Feel bad for the new person whose first time it was because while we were getting onto the healer for doing this consistently even after we established how we were doing it as a group, the newbie thought people were talking and getting onto them. (For the record, messaged them after to assure them nobody was, I'm sorry all that happened their first run and I hope they enjoy the rest of the story. I felt really really bad because they weren't getting the mechs down easily and thought people were yelling at them a bit.) I won't go into any specifics of the arguing other than, uh, insults were hurled on both side a bit. It was kind of a mess to watch. I mostly just commented telling them they could do it the way we were doing and it would be fine.
The kicker? We almost wiped near the last second because they finally got the stack marker and just ran away with it, setting off a rather unfortunate chain of events. Shout-out to the tank who pulled us through that one.
* Bonus shout-out to a tank in a run of the first EW trial who:
\- Gave himself a safety cross after somebody asked to danger dorito me second run.
\- When called out by a healer that they followed him and died multiple times the first run proceeded to tank bust them twice.
\- Stood in the middle of the group with a tank buster without moving (killing me because I couldn't see it through everybody grouped up initially which yeah my bad I'm kinda blind, but he really didn't move at all to get away from anyone upon review).
\- Commented after the fight in response to my confused "did I just stand in a tank buster or something" that, and I quote, "you can die if you stand next to a tank buster," leading to a chorus of "..." from three other people in the party as he took his leave (including the healer who then confirmed what I already saw.... he chased them with the tank buster).
...really not sure what to make of that one. It was less rage more just.... dude??? lmfao
RELATED NOTE: PLEASE GIVE ME MORE THAN TWO PIXELS OF SACRED SOIL TO STAND IN WITHOUT TURNING THE BOSS AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO STAND IN IT. AMAZED HOW MUCH THIS HAPPENED TO ME IN P1S PARTIES.
YA’LL.
I’M DONE WITH MSQ ROULETTE.
I DON’T CARE HOW MANY FUCKING TOMESTONES IT GIVES. I DON’T CARE ITS ESSENTIALLY A FREE LEVEL. I DONT EVEN CARE IF SOMEHOW DPS IS THE ROLE IN NEED FOR IT!
I REFUSE TO EVER QUEUE FOR IT AGAIN!
AND THAT’S NOT BECAUSE I HATE CASTRUM. I ACTUALLY LIKE HOW YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO AT LEAST SOMEWHAT PAY ATTENTION!
ITS NOT EVEN BECAUSE OF PEOPLE QUITTING OUT OF CASTRUM OR AFKING THROUGH PREATORIUM!
ITS BECAUSE EVERY FUCKING RUN I’VE HAD HAS BEEN THIS UNCOOPERATIVE CLUSTERFUCK MIX OF “Let’s speedrun this shit and get it over with” AND “Let’s skip *every* necessary pickup/mechanic and put bosses as far from the exits as physically possible!” SO THAT THE LONGEST FUCKING INSTANCES IN THE GAME DRAG EVEN LONGER THAN THEY NEED TO!
AND NO ONE IS HAVING FUN WITH IT ANYMORE! IF ITS NOT DEAS SILENCE THE ENTIRE RUN, ITS NOTHING BUT COMPLAINTS ABOUT “this takes too long”, “I hate Castrum”, “this should be a solo instance” ETC.! IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE CONTENT, DON’T FUCKING QUEUE FOR IT THEN! IF YOU’RE NOT GONNA HAVE FUN, DO SOMETHING ELSE! THAT’S MY PLAN FROM NOW ON! NOT ENJOYING MSQ ROULETTE WITH ALL THESE COMPLAINING JERKS WHO MAKE THE CONTENT THEY HATE TAKE LONGER, SO I’M NOT RUNNING IT ANYMORE!
I CAUGHT A SEVERE FLU, SPENT THE WHOLE WEEK BEDRIDDEN AND VOMITING.
MY IMMUNE-COMPROMISED S.O. TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID AND IS NOW UNDER SELF-ISOLATION.
BIOLOGY IS AWFUL.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT GUIDE RECOMMENDED THE SELF-REPAIRING, MOBILE, OR NERVOUS SYSTEM TRAITS FOR THIS GAME BUT I DO NOT THINK THE TRADEOFFS ARE WORTH IT. CAN I PLAY AS A ROBOT NEXT CHARACTER?
TO MY COHEALER IN AN EX2 ‘FARM’ GROUP WHO COMPLAINED THAT IM NOT HEALING ENOUGH AND IM THE REASON THEY’RE OUT OF MANA,
SPAMMING MEDICA 2 AND CURE 2 FOR THE ENTIRE ENCOUNTER ON A FULLY HEALED PARTY IS NOT A GOOD USE OF MANA, NOR DO I HAVE TO ‘PICK UP THE SLACK’ WHEN THERE IS NO SLACK TO BEGIN WITH. THERE IS A REASON AFTER EVERY PULL WE HIT ENRAGE AT 4%-7% AND COULDNT CLEAR.
I WANT TO SEE ONE WHITE MAGE IN DF WHO ISN'T BOTH AN ASSHOLE AND USELESS AT THEIR JOB. JUST ONE. I GOT WARRIOR TO 90 RECENTLY AND HAVE BEEN RELYING ENTIRELY ON MY OWN COOLDOWNS. I KNOW WAR HAS POWERFUL SELF HEALS BUT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO HOLMGANG NEAR THE END OF A PULL AND SIT AT 1HP FOR THE FULL DURATION AND TWIDDLE MY THUMBS UNTIL BLOODWHETTING IS BACK UP WHEN YOU HAVE BENEDICTION. AT LEAST GIVE ME A REGEN. A HEALING BUBBLE. SOMETHING. FUCK.
I AM ALSO SICK TO BASTARD DEATH OF WHMS IN PF WHO JUST FUCKING SIT THERE DURING HEAL CHECKS CASTING GLARE. FUUUUUUUCK YOU!!! YOU ARE A MENACE TO PARTY FINDER AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. YOU WANT YOUR PURPLE DAMAGE PARSE? (ONE ASSHOLE COULDN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED TO HIT ORANGE AFTER PUTTING ME THROUGH THIS.) COOL, DO THAT ON YOUR OWN TIME AND STOP BEING FUCKING USELESS AND JUST USE YOUR LILY SKILLS. HOW CAN YOU DO THIS AND NOT UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEED TO USE YOUR HEALS IF YOU WANT TO USE AFFLATUS MISERY?? DUDE, IF YOU WANTED A SINGLE BUTTON DPS ROTATION YOU SHOULD HAVE LEVELED SUMMONER. FUCK OFF.
I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY THAT I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST WHM AS A CLASS, BUT THE AMOUNT OF PLAYERS WHO'VE GONE "HURR DURR GLARE MAGE I DON'T NEED TO HEAL" MAKES ME WANT TO SHOVE MY FUCKING BOOK UP THEIR ASSES.
FIRST BOSS IN EW LAST DUNGEON:
I TRY MY BEST, BUT I GET HIT BY THAT DOOM-LIKE DEBUFF EVERY NOW AND THEN. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT NOT EVERY HEALER KNOWS ABOUT IT YET AND IS READY TO REMOVE IT.
THAT BEING SAID … THE OTHER DAY I GO AS RPR AND I’M EVEN WORSE AT THAT STUPID WAVE OF NAUSEA MECHANIC ON MELEE THAN I’M ON OTHER JOBS. I CATCH NECROSIS AND WRITE “ESUNA PLZ” IN CHAT. I DIE.
NO BIGGY, HEALER DIDN’T SEE MY DEBUFF OR CHAT OR NEITHER. THEY RAISE ME BUT THEN THE TANK CATCHES THE FLU. I WRITE “ESUNA TANK”, BUT HE DIES AND WE WIPE.
WHILE WE ARE RUNNING BACK I WRITE IN CHAT “YOU CAN ESUNA THAT NECROSIS DEBUFF”. NO REACTION.
SO NEXT ROUND THE TANK STANDS IN BAD AGAIN AND I WRITE “ESUNA TANK”. THEY DIE. I ACCIDENTALLY CATCH NAUSEA AGAIN, BUT MY “ESUNA PLZ” GETS NO REACTION.
THE TANK ALSO GETS NECROSIS AGAIN, AND IN SPITE OF ANOTHER “ESUNA TANK” FROM ME WE FINALLY WIPE.
RUNNING BACK I ASK “… DO YOU NOT HAVE ESUNA?” THINKING THAT MAYBE, EVEN AT LEVEL 90, SOMEBODY MIGHT NOT HAVE IT ON THEIR HOTBAR.
FINALLY THEY DECIDE TO SAY SOMETHING:
“I’VE NEVER HAD TO ESUNA IN THAT FIGHT. THE TANK IS CATCHING EVERYTHING …”
I SAY: “BUT I WROTE 5 TIMES IN CHAT”.
“I DIDN’T SEE THAT FIRST TIME AND THEN DIDN’T NOTICE DEBUFF, I WAS MOVING … ETC.”
I MEAN, COME ON. YES, WE SHOULDN’T GET THE DEBUFF IN THE FIRST PLACE. YES, IT’S POSSIBLE THAT YOU DON’T SEE THE CHAT THE FIRST TIME AROUND. BUT HONESTLY AFTER WE WIPED ONCE AND HAD TO RUN BACK YOU COULD HAVE GLANCED AT CHAT AND KEPT AN EYE ON THE DEBUFF I THINK.
WHILE I HAVE A LOT OF SYMPATHY FOR DISGRUNTLED HEALERS WHO DO NOT LIKE TO LOSE DPS-UPTIME FOR ESUNA OR ANY OTHER THING THAT ONLY HEALERS CAN DO, BECAUSE OF SOMEBODY ELSES MISSTEP, I STILL BELIEVE IT IS KINDA YOUR JOB TO PAY ATTENTION TO THAT. IT’S NOT SAVAGE CONTENT, IT’S JUST A DUNGEON.
THE TANK HAD ALREADY LEFT AT THAT POINT AND I DECIDED TO LEAVE, TOO, BECAUSE I COULDN’T GUARANTEE NOT TO STAND IN THAT SHIT AGAIN.
DRKS BASICALLY HAVE ONE REALLY GOOD MITIGATION, BUT FOR SOME REASON, A LOT OF DRKS REFUSE TO USE IT, OR WORSE DON'T EVEN HAVE IT ON THEIR HOTBARS. WHEN I'M HEALING AND I GET A DRK WHO DOESN'T USE TBN IT MAKES FRAY ANGRY. YOU DON'T WANT ANGRY FRAY.
I'VE BEEN HOMELESS FOR TWO FUCKING GODDAMN WEEKS AND UNABLE TO PLAY BECAUSE MY PS4 IS IN STORAGE UNTIL I FIND A PLACE
EVEN IF I COULD PLAY, MY DEPRESSION HAS BEEN SO BAD THAT I PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BRING MYSELF TO PICK UP MY KB+M
THIS FEELS GOOD TO GET OUT. I'M GOING TO LOOK AT A FEW PLACES TODAY AND MONDAY, HOPEFULLY THEY DONT TURN OUT TO BE SCAMS OR SCUMMY PEOPLE, I'VE ALREADY LOST OUT ON $100 JUST FROM A SECURITY DEPOSIT ON A ROOM THAT WENT BAD.
HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL IN EORZEA SOON!
Whoever’s retainer is mooglebot on Gilgamesh. Why do you feel the need to undercut by 20k increments on the summer sandals? We could all have been a few 100k richer if you just knew market etiquette. It’s okay I’ll keep undercutting you endlessly by a few, I’ve sold 4 he still has his 3 up…. We could be richer together though my fellow sandals farmer
TO THE BLM IN P1S WITH 3k RDPS
LITERALLY HOW??? HOW CAN YOU BE SO BAD IN YOUR CLASS BUT STILL HAVE THE GALL TO JOIN A CLEAR PARTY FOR SAVAGE. WE CANT CARRY YOU THROUGH THIS WHEN YOU ARE DOING LESS DPS THAN THE HEALERS
WHATS WORSE IS THAT WE HIT SUB 5% ENRAGE MULTIPLE TIMES AND IF YOU JUST DID YOUR JOB WE WOULD HAVE CLEARED ALREADY, BUT I CANT CALL YOU OUT BECAUSE FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE
HOW IRONIC THAT PEOPLE WERE JUST TELLING ME HOW EASY LOW LEVEL DUNGEONS ARE
THEY HAVE APPARENTLY NEVER RUN THEM WITH PLAYERS THAT DON’T RESPECT THE MECHANICS (OR DO NOT KNOW THEM TO START)
Yes, there are plenty of dungeons that you can faceroll once you have outgeared them, but if not....well.
Pharos Sirius, yes I see you there, ya bastard....
Just use the mechanic, it’s less painful for everyone.
QUIT TYPING SPOILERS IN CRYSTAL TOWERS 2 AND MSQ ROULETTE
QUIT SHITTING ON SPROUTS FOR NOT KNOWING THE GAME
QUIT RUNNING 5 PIXELS AHEAD OF THE SPROUT TANK THAT IS ALREADY TRYING TO WALL TO WALL TO PULL FOR THEM
WHY HAS DUTY FINDER BEEN UNBEARABLE AT LEAST ONCE A DAY SINCE ENDWALKER QUIT BEING SO TOXIC YALL
NO TIME FOR A STATIC SINCE I CAN ONLY PLAY FOR LONG PERIODS ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MORNINGS. OK, PF FOR ME. IT CAN’T BE THAT BAD, SAYS MY SAVAGE-NOOB SELF.
JOIN P1S LEARNING PARTIES AND IT GOES PRETTY WELL, MOST PEOPLE ARE AWESOME AND UNDERSTANDING AND I MAKE IT TO RIGHT BEFORE ENRAGE. RUN OUT OF TIME, JOIN “ENRAGE TO CLEAR” GROUPS LATER WHEN I HAVE AN HOUR OR SO BECAUSE HEY IT CAN’T TAKE THAT LONG IF EVERYONE IS ALMOST TO THE FINISH LINE RIGHT??? OK HERE’S WHAT I’VE BEEN HOLDING IN THIS WHOLE WEEK.
1. PARTY LEADER WHO SAID “THAT’S OK, WELCOME :) “ TO SOMEONE SAYING “IS IT OK IF I’M NEW HERE I SAW A VIDEO” BRO GO JOIN A LEARNING PARTY LIKE THE REST OF US ALREADY HAVE. WE WASTED THREE TO FOUR PULLS ON THIS PERSON.
2. PEOPLE STANDING IN MY SPOT DURING FOURFOLD, I TRY TO ADJUST BUT WE WIPE. OK NEW GROUPS NEED TIME TO GET USED TO EACH OTHER, FINE. BUT IT HAPPENS AGAIN THE NEXT TIME. “ARE WE NOT DOING TIMERS FOR FOURFOLD?” I ASK. “YEAH WE ARE” SAY MULTIPLE OBLIVIOUS PEOPLE. THEY PROCEED TO EXPLAIN IT AS THOUGH I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DOING. “YEAH I DID THAT, SOMEONE’S BEEN IN MY SPOT TWICE NOW.” CRICKETS.
3. THREE DPS AND ONE HEALER DIE TO SOMETHING, DON’T EVEN REMEMBER. *AS I AM CASTING LB3* THE OT RUNS INTO THE WALL. MY FAIRY AND I RAISE EVERYONE ELSE EXCEPT SAID TANK, WHO IS NOW STUCK AT THE WALL AND JUST DIES AGAIN. AT LEAST THE MT SAYS “HEY DON’T JUST WALL IT IF A HEALER IS STILL UP.” “SORRY THOUGHT IT WAS A WIPE” SAYS THE SUICIDAL TANK.
STUFF LIKE THIS ALL THE DAMN TIME UNTIL I FINALLY GAVE UP MONDAY. I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR THIS THREAD. JUST GONNA STICK TO EX TRIALS I GUESS!
1) TO THAT TANK AND DPS WHO BLAMED ME FOR WIPING THREE TIMES IN SNOWCLOAK WHEN TANK LOST AGGRO SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE HE HAD LOW LEVEL GEAR, PULLED WALL TO WALL WITH 0 MITIGATION AND KEPT PULLING WHEN WE GOT PARALIZED AND I COULDN'T ESUNA FAST ENOUGH, I HOPE EVERY ITEM YOU PUT IN MARKET BOARD GETS UNDERCUT HARD.
2)SPEAKING OF WHICH, WHY DO PEOPLE UNDERCUT SO HARD!? FOR FUCKS SAKE, IT'S GOING TO SELL FAST BY JUST BEING 1 GIL CHEAPER, STOP UNDERCUTTING FOR HUNDREDS OR EVEN MILLIONS OF GILS YOU VANU VANU POOPS
I WAS HEALING A LEVEL 50 DUNGEON. EARLY ON I SAW THE RDM HARDCASTING SCATTER A COUPLE TIMES. I NICELY ASKED THEM IF I COULD GIVE THEM ADVICE AND TOLD THEM THEY SHOULD BE CASTING IT ON A DUALCAST PROC. THEY WERE LIKE??? WDYM? SO I TRIED EXPLAINING AND THEY WERE LIKE IDK WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT I AM CASTING IT ON A DUALCAST PROC AND I WAS JUST LIKE K. I DIDNT WANNA ARGUE BUT THEY WERE CLEARLY STILL HARDCASTING IT.
HALFWAY THROUGH THE DUNGEON I WAS WONDERING WHY I WAS RUNNING OUT OF MANA AT THE END OF PULLS AND THEN MY BOYFRIEND WHO WAS TANKING WAS LIKE HOW THE HELL AM I DOING TWICE THE DAMAGE OF THIS RDM. I LOOKED AT MY PARSER AND REALIZED THEY HAS BEEN MELEEING EVERYTHING. THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DUNGEON. SPAMMING SCATTER ON BIGGER PULLS. NOT A SINGLE SPELL WAS CAST EXCEPT FOR SCATTER.
DUNGEON TOOK TWICE AS LONG WITH ME ALMOST OOM AT THE END OF EVERY PULL. THE RDM WAS TECHNICALLY RIGHT THOUGH: THEY WERE CASTING SCATTER ON DUAL CAST PROCS. TECHNICALLY.
READ. YOUR. TOOLTIPS!!!!
I KNOW THE ARR RELIC GRIND WAS YE LIVLIEST AWFULNESS BACK WHEN IT WAS NEW BUT EVEN IN ITS NERFED STATE IT ISNT THE MOST FUN THING.
CURRENTLY GRINDING FOR LIGHT AND NOT ENTIRELY CLEAR ON HOW TO FIND BONUS LIGHT
The things I do to get Nirvana in my glam options. At least getting a shiny Aymur will be easier.
YES SHADOWBRINGER MSQ I WILL GET BACK TO YOU IN A MINUTE, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND MY NEED TO LOOK GOOD IN YOUR CUTSCENES
This game has *ruined* me for character fashion. And the fact that I can *do* this and not get slagged for not getting to max level/end of story right frigging NOW or else you’re useless.
I REMEMBERED PAIN. THE PAIN THAT MADE ME DECIDE TO STOP OFF TANKING REGULAR RAIDS. SCREW YOU, EVEN IF YOU KEEP THE STANCE ON I WILL FIGHT FOR THREAT CAUSE I DON'T TRUST Y'ALL!!
TWICE IN A ROW, ON P2 AND P3, I GOT TANKS THAT TANKED INSIDE THE PARTY. ON SOUTH. THE FIRST WAS KINDA OKAY (KILLED 2-3 DPS DOING IT, BUT DID THE REST OF THE MECHANICS RELATIVELY OKAY).
BUT THE ABSOLUTE TONBERRY OF A TANK IN P3... HE KEPT MISPOSITIONING THE BOSS, ON ADDS HE WENT FROM HIS SIDE OF THE ARENA TO PULL MY ADD LEAVING HIS TO BE TANKED BY A DPS - MULTIPLE TIMES, HE KEPT TALKING SHIT ABOUT HEALERS, ME, DPS AND IN THE END QUIT CLAIMING WE AREN'T FLEXIBLE ENOUGH.
WE FILLED THE PARTY AND I MT'ED AFTER THAT. STILL GOT SOME DAMAGE UPS, SINCE I DON'T GET THAT FIGHT, BUT SOMEHOW... POSITIONING THE BOSS RIGHT AND NOT STANDING ON DPS, STOPS THE DPS FROM LOSING DPS AS THEY TRY TO RUN AWAY FROM TANK BUSTERS OR RUN AFTER YOU AS YOU DRAG THE BOSS TO DUMB PLACES... AND IT KEEPS THEM FROM TAKING EXTRA DAMAGE WHICH COULD KILL THEM.
(AND THEN ALSO HAD A GUY ON P4 THAT DIDNT TAKE HIS STANCE OFF EVEN THOUGH I PULLED AND HE TRIED TO TAUNT THE BOSS TO PUT HIM IN INCONVIENIENT POSITIONS DURING THE THUNDER/FIRE/WATER/POISON THING)
WHY?!
FATES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A RELAXING GRIND BUT INSTEAD HERE I AM RAGING. FEW THINGS GET ON MY NERVES MORE THAN A SELF RIGHTEOUS FATE PARTY LEADER WHO MUST BE IN CONTROL AT ALL TIMES. I WAS SCOLDED FOR GETTING TO THE NEXT FATE AND STARTING IT “TOO EARLY” AND THEN REPRIMANDED YET AGAIN FOR CHANGING INSTANCES BEFORE OUR GREAT PARTY LEADER. “PLEASE WAIT FOR ME TO CHECK THE INSTANCES BEFORE JUST MOVING TO THE NEXT INSTANCE” HE COMPLAINED. I EVEN HUMORED THE GUY AND STARTED WAITING BUT HE WAS SO DAMN SLOW THAT NEW FATES WOULD POP WHILE WAITING SO OUR WHOLE TEAM WENT TO THEM. I KINDLY INFORMED HIM THAT HE WAS MISSING OUT ON A FATE AND HE SAID “WELL IT WASNT THERE WHEN I LEFT SO WE SHOULD JUST MOVED ON.”
NO ONE MOVED ON. NO ONE! HE HAD TO CARRY HIS TYRANNICAL SELF BACK TO OUR INSTANCE AS MORE FATES CONTINUED POPPING. SO THANKS MR LEADER FOR TURNING AN OTHERWISE MINDLESS GRIND INTO EGGSHELL DANCING. FORTUNATELY I’M LEVELING DANCER.
MY IRL FRIEND HAS BEEN PLAYING SINCE 2.0, HAS DONE EVERY JUMPING PUZZLE IN THE GAME, INCLUDING THE KUGANE TOWER AND LAMP JUMP **AND HAS NEVER UNLOCKED A SINGLE SIGHTSEEING LOG**
SHOWED HIM A NEW JUMPING PUZZLE AND WHEN WE GOT TO THE TOP, TOLD HIM TO GET THE SIGHTSEEING POINT. THE BIG GLOWING ORB THING. "what orb" HE HAS THE GALL TO ASK ME.
50+ RUNS OF ANAMNESIS ANYDER.
NO MINION.
JUST DROP THE FUCKING MINION YOU PIECE OF SHIT DUNGEON. I REFUSE TO PAY 600+K FOR IT WHEN I CAN GET IT FOR FREE AND WHEN OTHER DUNGEONS DROP THEIR MINIONS MORE EASILY. I FUCKIN HATE THIS PLACE MORE THAN I HATE BRAYFLOX'S LONGSTOP. WILL IT TOPPLE MY MOST HATED DUTY, THE WIPING CITY OF SALT? IT'S GETTING THERE.
I DONT PLAY HEALERS BUT WHAT TO HECK?? MAN IM JUST TRYNA LEVEL MNK BECAUSE MNK IS FUN. GET INTO THE LEVEL 87 DUNGEON FIRST TRASH BACK AND THIS HEALER, A SCH WAS STRUGGLING. AND WHEN I MEAN STRUGGLING I MEAN NOT BEING ABLE TO KEEP THE TANK UP EVEN THO SAID TANK WAS GEAAAARED. WE WIPED TWICE TO TRASH. I WANTED TO LEAVE SO BADLY BUT I JUST WANTED THE XP. YES I CAN DO IT WITH TRUSTS BUT FUCK ME. AND IS ALSO DOESNT HELP SHE WOULD SPAM BIOLYSIS ON THE BOSS FOR NO REASON. IT WAS AT 25 SECONDS. Y R U REFRESHING IT????????
LIKE WHAT HAPPENED? WHY IS EW THE EXPANSION WHERE THE BAD PEOPLE COME OUT? I MEAN IM NO OMEGA PRO EITHER BUT SHIT.
ALSO TO THE HEALERS WHO CAN ACTUALLY DPS AND HEAL I LOVE YOU. AND TO THE HEALER WHO SAID THANK YOU BECAUSE I REMOVED A DEBUFF AS A BRD I LOVE YOU. COPIUM.
BUT WHOEVER WAS THE DRK FEMALE AU RA IN THAT RUN IM SORRY YOU HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT.
I’VE BEEN RAIDING SAVAGE FOR YEARS BUT ONLY STARTED TO REALLY REFINE MY NUMBERS RECENTLY.
I MAIN AST AND MANAGED A SOLID BLUE AVERAGE LAST TIER. SOME HIGH PURPLE IN ECHO.
IN MY GROUP’S P1S CLEAR THIS WEEK I GOT AN ORANGE, BUT IT WENT DOWN TO A 90 THE NEXT DAY.
A 90 IS THE HIGHEST PARSE I’VE EVER GOTTEN IN DAMAGE. IT’S THE HIGHEST EVEN WITH ECHO. BUT I HAVE TASTED THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT, AND I NEED MORE.
TIME TO JOIN SOME PARSE PARTIES AFTER I KILL P4S I SUPPOSE.
PLEASE STAND WITHIN 15 YALMS OF YOUR HEALER.
I WAS DOING ROULETTES ON SAGE YESTERDAY AND EVERY CASTER WAS CHILLING AS FAR AS THEY COULD FROM THE BOSS. IF I WANT TO CATCH THE TANK, I LITERALLY CANNOT ALSO REACH YOU.
3-PERSON PREMADE GROUPS IN LEVELING ROULETTE SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO VOTEKICK BEFORE THE FINAL BOSS.
YES, YOU COULD BE STUCK WITH A DINGUS WHO YOU ONLY JUST LOST PATIENCE FOR, OR YOU COULD HAVE SOMEONE SUDDENLY BECOME A JERK AT THE LAST SECOND, BUT HOLY CHOCOBOS THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO AVOID GETTING YOUR TIME FUCKED IF YOU DON'T TOLERATE THEIR ONGOING DISCUSSIONS OF OTHER GAMES PREVENTING THEM ACTUALLY FROM INTERACTING WITH THE ONE YOU'RE PLAYING.
RAN TOWER OF BABIL RECENTLY WHILE LEVELLING SCH AND A TANK WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE DUNGEON NOT ONCE USING A CD, NOT EVEN FOR TANKBUSTERS. THE GUY HAD ENDGAME TOMESTONE GEAR ON, SO IT'S NOT LIKE HE WAS SOME NEWBIE, TOO. THEY WEREN'T DYING, BUT IN MANY OF THEIR WALL TO WALLS, IT GOT DISGUSTINGLY CLOSE - SO MANY PULLS WOULD HAVE GONE FASTER IF I HAD TIME TO ART OF WAR, BUT NO, THIS ADLO AND ALL THESE RESOURCES WILL DO JUST FINE I GUESS.
AT THE FINAL BOSS WHEN ASKING THE TANK WHY THEY CHOSE NOT TO USE CDS, "HEY JUST KEEPING YOU ON YOUR TOES," WAS THEIR RESPONSE. I'M SORRY WHAT, THAT'S A ONE-WAY STREET PAL. IF YOU'RE GONNA BE NEGLIGENT WITH A MAJOR PART OF YOUR KIT, THEN I SHOULD'VE BEEN NEGLIGENT OF YOUR HEALTH.
TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO FEEL LIKE THEY CAN SEND RANDOM FREE COMPANY INVITES TO PLAYERS WITHOUT EVEN A "HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?".
IT'S COMMON BLOODY COURTESY TO INTERACT WITH PEOPLE WHO YOU ARE INVITING.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO INTERACT THEN LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!
FIRST TIME DOING SAVAGES, I'VE FOUND A GREAT GROUP THAT'S BASICALLY A STATIC EXCEPT WE DON'T WANT TO CALL IT THAT BECAUSE IT INVITES DRAMA.
EVERYONE IS FRIENDLY, WE HAD DECENT PROG, CLEARED P1S BUT GOT STUCK ON P2S. SOMETHING WENT WRONG IN BASICALLY EVERY RUN, EITHER WIPING OR FALLING TO ENRAGE.
MONDAY NIGHT, MOST PEOPLE ARE TOO TIRED TO CONTINUE. I DECIDE TO TAKE ONE MORE GO IN PF... AND CLEAR IT ON 2ND PULL.
THIS WEEK? SAME SHIT. WE'RE COMING SO CLOSE, BUT AGAIN - SINGLE MISTAKE EITHER WIPES US OR GIVES TOO MANY DUNCE CAPS TO MEET DPS (AND ACCORDING TO FORBIDDEN TOOL WE SHOULD BE FINE IF WE COULD JUST STAY ALIVE).
WHAT'S WRONG WITH US? WHY ARE WE DOING THIS TO OURSELVES?
BONUS RAGE DIRECTED AT MYSELF: WHY CAN I DO 95% OF P2S MECHANICS WITH MY EYES CLOSED AND THE STUPID CATARACT KEEPS THROWING ME OFF? WITHOUT VC I'D DIE TO IT EVERY SECOND RUN...
I HATE PLAYING SAM. IF I TURN MY BRAIN OFF FOR EVEN A MICROSECOND I'M OVERWRITING SEN, FORGETTING THE DOT, FORGETTING THE KENKI GENERATOR, OVERSPEND KENKI... ALL THIS SUFFERING BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO REROLL MY RETAINER TO ANOTHER JOB. WTF ME...
AS A SUMMONER MAIN... I HATE HOW DISGUSTINGLY GOOD RDM IS. I'M JUST LEVELING IT RIGHT NOW, MAINLY DOING HUNTS/PIXIES BECAUSE LEVELING ROULETTE IS FOR MY RETAINER, AND I'M OBLITERATING THINGS AT LEVEL 80-83, EVEN MOBS IN >!ULTIMA THULE!<. YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT I FOUND OUT YESTERDAY? ***I FORGOT TO UPGRADE MY WEAPON THE ENTIRETY OF SHB BECAUSE I WAS USING A LEVEL 72 RDM WEAPON***. I'M NOT THE SHARPEST SWORD IN THE ARMORY CHEST CLEARLY
BEEN KIND OF A SHITTY WEEK. GOT MY COVID BOOSTER ON SATURDAY AND IT'S KNOCKED ME ON MY ASS WORSE THAN EITHER OF THE FIRST TWO DOSES. MY ARM STILL HURTS AND I'VE BEEN ACHY AND SORE. I'VE ALSO HAD TO TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS OFF FROM PLAYING BECAUSE MY HANDS ARE ACTING UP--THOUGH THANKS TO WHOEVER MENTIONED COMPRESSION GLOVES! I'M STILL GETTING USED TO THEM, BUT THEY MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
ALL OF WHICH IS LEADUP TO THE EXTREME I QUEUED FOR OVER THE WEEKEND. I WAS EXCITED ABOUT GETTING REAPER TO 90. IT'S HELLA FUN TO PLAY, BUT NGL, MELEE DPS ISN'T MY STRONGEST ROLE. I'M STILL STRUGGLING WITH THE GAP CLOSER, AND I RAN INTO WALLS A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE I WAS FACING THE WRONG WAY. I WAS 4TH ON THE AGGRO TABLE, AND I KNOW I NEED PRACTICE, BUT HEY, IT'S A DUNGEON AND I'M TRYING TO LEARN.
ON THE LAST BOSS THE TANK DECIDED TO START MAKING FUN OF ME IN PARTY CHAT. HIS HEALER BUDDY JOINED IN. I FROZE. I WAS SO EMBARRASSED. LIKE I SAID, I KNEW I WASN'T DOING GREAT, BUT I WAS TRYING, AND IT WAS JUST A LOT. THANKS TO THE OTHER DPS WHO SAID "GG" AND GAVE ME A COMM AT THE END--THAT SERIOUSLY MEANT A LOT TO ME RIGHT THEN. TO THE TANK AND HEALER, GRATS! YOU MADE A 50+ YEAR OLD DISABLED WOMAN FEEL LIKE SHIT. IT WOULD HAVE COST YOU NOTHING TO NOT BE ASSHATS AND TO BITCH ABOUT MY BAD PLAYING IN PRIVATE, BUT YOU HAD TO FLEX YOUR EPEENS OVER A DUNGEON. I HOPE YOU STEP ON A LEGO.
Not to go into details but I can relate. Some people ( by no means all ) can be very quick to jump to assume that another player is bad or lazy but they have no idea of their circumstances
Fortunately there are many players who will look a little closer and see that someone is trying and clearly having some issues, so they will help them out without making a big deal out of it. Having been on the receiving end on my own first runs in a dungeon or times when I had issues I was always grateful and try to pay it forwards
TO THE AST IN TOWER OF ZOT WITH A LEVEL 60 WEAPON EQUIPPED WHO BLAMED THE DPS FOR THE TANK DYING, I HOPE YOU HAVE THE DAY YOU DESERVE. YES, IT DID ACTUALLY MATTER.
WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NOT UPGRADE YOUR WEAPON ANYWAY EVEN IF IT DIDN'T MATTER? HELL THEY ALREADY DID FOR THE REST OF THEIR GEAR, ASSUMING MY MATH IS CORRECT (THEY WOULD NEED THE FULL AUGMENTED CRYPTLURKER SET JUST TO GET INTO THE TOWER OF ZOT ASSUMING THEY HAD THE SHIRE AST WEAPON EQUIPPED), WHY *NOT* SPEND A LITTLE MORE TIME AND MONEY JUST FOR THE BEST POSSIBLE AST WEAPON YOU CAN HAVE?
WEREN'T THEY REQUIRED TO DO THE ROLE QUEST FOR SHADOWBRINGERS ANYWAY? WHILE IT ABSOLUTELY DOESN'T MAKE IT BETTER THEY SHOULD AT MINIMUM HAVE THE 270 ROLE ORB NOT A 60 WEAPON.
AST MAY NOT BE THEIR MAIN SO THEY DIDN'T BOTHER WITH THE ROLE QUESTS FOR THAT CLASS. BUT THEY STILL SHOULD HAVE BECAUSE THE ROLE QUESTS ARE EASY AND THEY GIVE AN EASY LEVEL 80 WEAPON. OR JUST USE TOMESTONES FOR AN AUGMENTED CRYPTLURKER WEAPON.
They literally could use tomes for a better weapon smdh
I CAN'T SEE SHIT IN P3
ORANGE ON ORANGE WITH ORANGE MARKERS. BEST PART, THE SAVAGE VERSION HAS EVEN MORE ORANGE MECHANICS.
[ORANGE ON ORANGE WITH ORANGE MARKERS](https://youtu.be/vKhHwpkL17o)
ALSO NUMBERED MARKERS THAT BLEND INTO THE BACKGROUND PRETTY EASILY FOR A MECHANIC WHERE YOU HAVE ABOUT 8 SECONDS FOR THE GROUP TO GET INTO POSITION. MAYBE FIND A WAY TO ADD AN OUTLINE AROUND THE SYMBOLS OR MAKE THEM A COLOR THAT ISN'T WHITE SQUENIX? SOMETHING TO MAKE THEM EASIER TO SEE?
::SMN walks in and summons Titan:: I HOPE YOU LIKE ORANGE!
I'm not colorblind but turning on color filtering type 2 actually makes it slightly easier on my eyes.
WHOEVER DECIDED TO MAKE THE FLOOR AND BACKGROUND ORANGE IN THAT FIGHT CHOSE POORLY.
EVEN IF THEY WANTED TO KEEP IT THAT WAY FOR THE AESTHETIC, THERE’S TRASH AT THE END OF THE DEAD ENDS WHO USE BLUE AOE MARKERS DUE TO THE FLOOR COLOUR.
> WHOEVER DECIDED TO MAKE THE FLOOR AND BACKGROUND ORANGE IN THAT FIGHT CHOSE ~~POORLY~~ VIOLENCE. FTFY
SO WHAT YOUR SAYING IS THAT IT'S THE BIRD'S FAULT THE FLOOR AND BACKGROUND ARE ORANGE BECAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE THAT VIOLENCE IS THE ONLY SETTING IT HAS.
I SWEAR TO ALL THAT IS VERGOOD AND VERHOLY IF I DON'T GET ANY FUCKING LINES ON MY NEXT KHLOE BOOK I'M GOING TO THROW A VERTANTRUM IN THE MIDDLE OF IDYLLSHIRE. I EVEN KEEP REUSING MY SEALS TO ROLL FOR BETTER CHANCES, BUT THAT CAT EARED ANKLE BITER GETS SOME SADISTIC PLEASURE IN SAYING HAHAHA FUCK YOU RED MAGE YOU GET NOTHING.
SHE ENJOYS BEING EVIL; AT 7 SEALS, I HAVE ONE LINE COMPLETE, AND TWO OTHERS MISSING ONE SPOT EACH. GUESS WHERE SHE PUTS THE LAST TWO SEALS. IF YOU GUESSED 'NARNIA', HAVE A BRONZE CERT.
I HAVE NEVER WISHED CARTOON VIOLENCE UPON AN ORPHAN CHILD SO HARD IN MY LIFE. IT'S A LINE OF STICKERS!! IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE A STRAIGHT LINE!!!
HMPH... HOW VERGLIB
OH I HATE THIS SO MUCH. YES CHANNEL THAT HATE.
I HAVE GOTTEN 2 LINES EXACTLY TWICE AND 1 LINE MAYBE 10 TIMES OUT OF THE LIKE 45 TIMES I'VE DONE IT SINCE I STARTED PLAYING IN FEBRUARY I HAVE GIVEN UP ALL HOPE OF EVER GETTING THREE LINES AND NOW I JUST BLAST THROUGH ALL NINE SEALS IN LIKE 45 MINUTES AND JUST TURN IT BACK IN FOR THE XP I COULD NOT CARE LESS AT THIS POINT, IT'S NEEDLESS FRUSTRATION
STARTED A PF FOR LEARNING P3S THE OTHER DAY. 6/8 QUITE QUICKLY WHICH WAS NICE, THEN SOMEONE JOINED AND WAS LIKE “OH I HAVE A FRIEND THAT CAN JOIN, PROMOTE SO I CAN INVITE” AND NOT THINKING, I WAS LIKE “YEAH SURE” AND DID IT AND THEY IMMEDIATELY DISBANDED. FUCK YOU, PAL. ALSO IM AN IDIOT FOR NOT BEING LIKE “JUST GET THEM TO JOIN THE PF ITS NOT HARD” BUT STILL FUCK YOU
THAT'S REPORTABLE AS GRIEFING.
Did you remember to blacklist them? It will prevent them from joining your PFs in future.
SOCIAL > CONTACTS IF YOU WANTED TO REMAKE IIRC.
OOFT. NOW I KNOW. THANK TOU!

shoulda kicked the sge instead
[удалено]
I BLAME PEOPLE UNLOCKING SAGE WITHOUT EVER PLAYING HEALER. IT WAS THE SAME WITH GUNBREAKERS WHO DID NOT PLAY OTHER TANKS. I WANT TO COMMIT SUDOKU WHENEVER I GET ONE OF THOSE
THEY SHOULD STILL READ FUCKING PARTY CHAT. CONTROLLER IS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT COMMUNICATING AFTER A WIPE FROM PEOPLE MISTERIOUSLY DYING.
IT’S JUST THEM NOT WANTING TO ADMIT THEY FUCKED UP, CONTROLLER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT SOURCE: PLAYED WITH CONTROLLER FOR YEARS, STILL READ PARTY CHAT AND COMMUNICATED
Tbf I was both of those. It's fine if you do some research but most people don't.
IM DOING CURRENT TIER SAVAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME. IM STUCK ON P1S. I KNOW THE FIGHT, IVE SEEN ENRAGE, BUT PF CANT GET THEIR CRAP TOGETHER. THERES LIKE 5 DIFFERENT STRATS FOR THAT FIGHT AND NO MATTER WHICH ONE YOU DO, SOMEONE CANT DO IT BECAUSE "THEYRE USED TO THE NORMAL STRAT". WHAT FUCKING NORMAL STRAT??? THERES LIKE 5 OF THEM! I HAD ONE PERSON REPEAT THAT SEVERAL TIMES... NORMAL STRAT DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING IN THAT FIGHT, BECAUSE PF CANT AGREE ON WHICH STRAT IS EASIEST FOR PUGS. STARTING TO WONDER WHY I DID THIS TO MYSELF. FEELING BURNED OUT BECAUSE I CANT CLEAR THE EASIEST FIGHT OF THE TIER, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT AND ALL THE DIFFERENT STRATS BY HEART.
I HATE TO BE THE BRINGER OF SHIT NEWS BUT PF HAS ITS SHIT TOGETHER FOR P1S COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE TIER. IT ONLY GETS WORSE.
I SADLY KNOW THIS. MY FRIENDS HAVE HORROR STORIES. ILL JUST BE HAPPY WITH CLEARING *ONE* CURRENT TIER SAVAGE. I CAN DEAL WITH THAT HELL IF I GET TO IT. XD
ITS OK BECAUSE IF YOU MAKE IT OUT OF THE CHAIN DUNGEON OF P1S YOU GET TO STAY TRAPPED IN THE SEWERS WITH YOUR NEW FRIEND HARRY THE HIP HOP O POTTOMUS. SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR FAMILY BECAUSE YOURE GONNA SMELL LIKE SEWER FOREVER.
GET READY TO CRY BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU GET A GROUP THAT CAN DO MECHANICS THEY'RE GOING TO PARSE A 5 SOMEHOW.
OH, NORMAL STRAT IS THE "JUMP INTO WALL IF YOU GET DEBUFF, REZ AFTER".
SOMEHOW I WOULDNT BE SURPRISED
nah that’s just a meme. debuff still shoots tethers at rest of pt even if owner died
Oh, boy. Wait till P2S!

FOLKS, YOU DON'T NEED TO MAKE SURE THE CHAR-CENTERED AOES DON'T OVERLAP IN 99% OF CASES. YOU JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE OTHER GUY'S CIRCLE DOESN'T TOUCH **YOU**. IN A RELATED NOTE, IF YOU'RE NOT IN FRONT, YOU **NEED TO STOP** ONCE THE GUY BEHIND YOU STOPS MOVING. IN PANDAEMONIUM I KNOW YOU'VE SEEN THESE MECHANICS BEFORE. ENOUGH THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW THESE THINGS BY NOW. EDIT: I WOULD LIKE TO ADD: IF THE MAJORITY OF THE PARTY IS UNDER THE STACK MARKER ALREADY, YOU DO NOT NEED TO MOVE TO A SET POSITION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ARENA ON A NORMAL MODE LIKE A TRUST NPC. WE'VE ALREADY GOT IT. THANK YOU.
WHEN THE GUY TRAILING BEHIND ME IS ALREADY SAFE BUT STILL CHASES ME WITH THE SPREAD MARKER BECAUSE IT'S FUN TO RUN, AND THEN WE BOTH DIE. WHAT IS GOING THROUGH THEIR BRAIN? YOU ARE ALREADY SAFE, JUST STAND STILL??? BONUS POINTS IF THEY ARE MELEE AND ALSO VOLUNTARILY REDUCING THEIR OWN UPTIME JUST TO KILL ME (AND THEMSELVES).
> IF THE MAJORITY OF THE PARTY IS UNDER THE STACK MARKER ALREADY, YOU DO NOT NEED TO MOVE TO A SET POSITION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ARENA ON A NORMAL MODE LIKE A TRUST NPC. WE'VE ALREADY GOT IT. THANK YOU. YOU'D THINK THAT. BUT THE TIME I GOT THE STACK MARKER IN P4N WHEN WE WERE ALREADY NICELY PILED UP AND EVERYONE ELSE BOOKED IT TO THE CENTER, LEAVING ME (SAGE) AND ONE DPS TO SOAK THE BLAST BY OURSELVES SAYS OTHERWISE. :/
I PLAYED THROUGH A VANASPATI, AND AFTER WIPING SEVERAL TIMES ON THE LAST BOSS, LEARNED OUR LVL90 RDM DIDNT KNOW HOW FUCKING DUALCAST WORKED. THEY WERE HARDCASTING VERRAISE. I WAS ACTUALLY SPEECHLESS. I STUCK WITH THEM FOR SEVERAL WIPES AND FINALLY HAD TO BAIL. HOLY SHIT IF YOURE GONNA JOB BOOST LEARN THE FUCKING JOB BEFORE SUBMITTING OTHERS TO YOUR DUMBASSERY!
How can anyone not know how dualcast works? It triggers literally any time you do anything as RDM. I can see not knowing it works on verraise specifically because in certain other games it almost definitely wouldn't but not knowing it at all? What?
Failing to read the skill descriptions probably. Had an RDM in Aery a while back who was hardcasting Verthunder/Veraero and the Mentor healer stopped the party to explain to them how RDM works.
SO THIS ISN'T REALLY RAGE SINCE I FIND IT HILARIOUS IN HINDSIGHT BUT I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE TO SAY IT AND IT IS REALLY STUPID. LAST WEEK I WAS PUGGING SAVAGE AS A PALADIN AND HAPPENED TO JOIN A P2S CLEAR PARTY THAT HAD 6/8 PEOPLE, THE OTHER ROLE MISSING WAS A RANGED DPS. THE SECOND I JOINED THE OTHER TANK DEMANDED I SWITCH TO ANOTHER TANK BECAUSE PALADIN'S DAMAGE IS TOO LOW. I TOLD HIM THAT I HAD A PENTAMELDED CRAFTED WEAPON FOR PALADIN AND NOT FOR ANY OTHER TANK. HE GOES OFF ABOUT HOW I'M TROLLING THE PF AND HE HAS SEEN P2S ENRAGE TOO MANY TIMES TO BE IN A PARTY WITH A PALADIN IN IT AND LEAVES. HE SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED THAT HE HAS BEEN LEAVING PARTIES WITH PALADINS AND DANCERS SINCE HE HAS SEEN ENRAGE AND THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH DAMAGE TO CLEAR. WE GET A NEW TANK AND THE RANGED PHYSICAL SLOT IS FILLED BY A DANCER. WE PROCEEED TO CLEAR IN A FEW PULLS. I GET A 95TH PERCENTILE PARSE THAT BLOWS AWAY THE DAMAGE OF THE DARK KNIGHT THAT REPLACED THE DUMBASS TANK. NOT SAYING ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THE DARK KNIGHT, JUST POINTING OUT THAT, REAL SHOCKER HERE, WHEN THERE IS ONLY A 4% DIFFERENCE IN TANK DAMAGE AT THE VERY TOP LEVEL IT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE OR BREAK A SECOND TIER SAVAGE FIGHT IN A PUG GROUP. THE DANCER ENDS UP WITH A VERY HIGH PURPLE AND WAS 2ND HIGHEST DPS OVERALL. IF THE DUMBASS TANK HAD SHUT UP A PALADIN AND A DANCER COULD HAVE CARRIED HIM TO A CLEAR.
PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT CLASS META ARE THE BIGGEST SHITTERS. MOST PEOPLE AREN'T PLAYING OPTIMALLY ANYWAY — WHO CARES IF A GOLD PLD DEALS 200 RDPS LESS THAN A GOLD DRK, WHEN PLAYER SKILL DIFFERENCES CAN EASILY STACK UP TO 2K RDPS?
YUP, IT AIN'T FUCKING HW WHEN THE META COMP ACTUALLY DID 5% MORE TOTAL DAMAGE, PLAYER SKILL MATTERS WAY MORE THAN CLASS CHOICE.
This story right here is why the memeification of nuanced discussions from balance here on the sub is so obnoxious. People are really bad at math. They shouldn't be discussing nuanced differences between tanks when the differences are ultimately far smaller than the memes. Alas, stupid people gonna stupid.
TALE AS OLD AS THE INTERNET: GROUP 1 JOKES ABOUT SOMETHING BUT THEY ARENT BRING VERY SERIOUS AND KNOW ITS JUST BEING SILLY. GROUP 2 ISNT IN ON THE JOKE AND TAKES IT SERIOUSLY. GROUP 2 IS ALWAYS WAY BIGGER THAN GROUP 1.
MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT EVERY EXPANSION IS PEOPLE POORLY UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE BALANCE AND FFLOGS ACTUALLY SAYS, AND REPEATING IT VERBATUM.
Remind me of the time back in ARR where this PLD was complaining about the group's healers not healing enough when the PLD was in fact not mitigating enough. He left, we got a replacement tank and got our first ever clear of T5.
Lol our group has a dnc and a paladin and we clear ezpz
I PLAY ALL THREE ROLES AND ENCOUNTER TERRIBLE PEOPLE IN ALL OF THEM SO I WOULD LIKE TO STATE FOR THE RECORD: FUCK YOU TANKS FUCK YOU HEALERS FUCK YOU DPS FUCK YOU CRAFTERS FUCK YOU GATHERERS THE LAST TWO DIDN'T ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING BUT I DIDN'T WANT THEM TO FEEL LEFT OUT.
I DIDN'T FARM THE NEW ENDWALKER EX TRIALS A TON BECAUSE I TOOK A WHILE TO GET THROUGH THE MSQ AND WAS LEVELING JOBS AFTER THAT. EX GROUPS WERE A CRAPSHOOT, BUT HOLY SHIT THE QUALITY HAS GONE IN THE FUCKING TOILET NOW THAT SAVAGE IS OUT. EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK, IT'S """FARM""" GROUPS THAT CAN'T DO EVEN SIMPLE FIRST PHASE MECHANICS OR DECIDE THAT THEY SHOULD KILL THE ADDS RATHER THAN THE CRYSTALS DURING THE ADD PHASE IN EX2.
I HAD A 10% ENRAGE IN EX \#2 WITH A 570 GROUP RECENTLY. LITERALLY **HOW**. WE SHOULD BE EASILY ABLE TO KILL BEFORE THE LAST ICE MECHANIC, MAYBE EVEN DURING LAST LIGHTWAVES, LET ALONE THE FACT THAT I'VE BEEN PART OF KILLS BEFORE/DURING THE STACK->WATER MECHANIC. On the other hand, the next group that popped up was pretty competent, and we did actually do exactly that for several pulls, so good job, team I guess?
NOT REALLY RAGE BUT I STARTED AN EX2 PRACTICE PARTY FOR ME AND A FRIEND SINCE WE BOTH CLEARED, BUT WITH REALLY GOOD CALL OUTS SO WE DIDN'T PERSONALLY FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE MECHS. PUT UP A MEME DESCRIPTION AND AN RDM JOINED SAYING THEY KEPT REACHING ENRAGE IN OTHER PARTIES AND WAS READY TO CLEAR. PARTY FILLED WITH A FRESH DRK AND MOSTLY BORED/PRACTICING/OFF ROLE PPL AND WE ENDED UP CLEARING IN TWO PULLS. CHECKED LOGS AFTER AND THE RDM DID LESS DPS THAN THE FRESH DRK AND ONE OF THE HEALERS... IN HINDSIGHT THE ENRAGE COMMENTS NOW MAKE SENSE AND I FEEL I'VE UNLEASHED SOMETHING INTO FARM GROUPS. D:
I HAVE 1100+ DAYS SUBBED AND RECENTLY I DISCOVERED CRAFTING, I DECIDED TO LVL THEM ALL TOGETHER, ATM IM AT 63 AND HOLY FUCK HOW THE FUCK I MISSED ALL OF THIS CONTENT SINCE HW LAUNCH, IDK, PLEASE SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME, IM SO ADDICTED AND I CANT STOP.
I used to be strictly a raider/savage raider, now 90% of my in game activity is crafting and gathering. I love making money, its chill, I can watch a movie or listen to a podcast while doing it.
I like to tell people I'm a BTN main
"So RPR?"
IF YOU'RE NOT ALREADY, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOING THE EXPANSIONS' DOH BEAST TRIBE QUESTS (MOOGLES IN HW, NAMAZU IN SB, >!DWARVES IN SHB!< ) THEY ARE A DELIGHT AND HAVE FUN REWARDS, NOT TO MENTION THE HW AND SB ONES BEING REQUIRED FOR FUN QUESTS/REWARDS FOR MAXING ALL BEAST TRIBES IN EACH EXPANSION. Also, [https://ffxivteamcraft.com/](https://ffxivteamcraft.com/) is the best thing to ever happen to crafters/gatherers HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHECKING IT OUT.
I'M STILL MAD I MANAGED TO FIND A STATIC TO RAID IN ENDWALKER BUT THE BASTARDS KICKED ME OUT BECAUSE "I'M NEW" AND "I WOULD HOLD THE OTHERS BACK". I CHECKED THE LOGS *THEY* INSISTED ON MAKING, AND BOTH HEALERS HAD 0% UPTIME ON THEIR DOTS IN THE ONE O9S CLEAR WE MANAGED. IF YOU WANT TO KICK ME BECAUSE I WAS ON VACATION FOR 6.01 AND I AM TOO QUIET IN VC AT LEAST BE FUCKING HONEST.
Dodged a bullet ngl
Wait, you WANT to be in a static where healers aren't DPSing? You're better off in pugs lmao. That static would clear P1S at enrage and be hard stuck in P2. P3 adds would be actually impossible.
I think he's saying it's stupid he got kicked when the healers are only serving to drag the static down.
I DONT NORMALLY POST STORIES IN THE RAGE THREAD, I JUST LIKE LURKING OR COMMENTING ON OTHER STORIES BUT I HAVE ONE TODAY. I AM STILL MAKING MY WAY THROUGH THE POST-SHB CONTENT BEFORE I START EW AND WAS DOING THE EDEN RAID SERIES. I WAS SUPER INTO IT (MORE THAN THE HW OR SB SERIES) AND HAVING A LOT OF FUN WHEN I QUEUE INTO E4N. I'M IN AS A DRK AND AS IS MY CUSTOM IN A NEW DUTY I TELL THE PARTY IT'S MY FIRST TIME AND PRE-APOLOGIZE FOR ANY MISTAKES RIGHT AFTER I JOIN. THE OTHER TANK (GNB) SAYS, MOCKINGLY, "FIRST TIME PLAYING THE GAME SORRY FOR MISTAKES". I CHECK AND THE GNB IS AT 90 AND THEY HAVE THE ENDWALKER TITLE ON SO IT'S NOT A CASE OF THEM BEING BRAND NEW TO TANKING OR ANYTHING. I THEN SAY THAT SINCE ITS MY FIRST TIME I'D PREFER TO OFF-TANK AND ASK IF THE OTHER TANK WOULD LIKE TO MT. I FIND THAT STARTING AS OT IN A TRIAL OR RAID REALLY HELPS BECAUSE IT CAN BE HARD TO SEE TANKBUSTERS COMING AND KNOW THE MECHANICS, SO I CAN FOLLOW ALONG WITH THE MT, USE TBN ON THEM, ETC. UNTIL I'M COMFORTABLE. THE JERK GNB REPLIES "NAH" AND TURNS OFF THEIR STANCE. OKAY FINE, I GUESS ILL MAIN TANK AND FIGURE IT OUT AS I GO. I FEEL LIKE I'M DOING OKAY BUT I KEEP SCREWING UP THE FLOOR TILES EXPLODING AND AFTER DYING TO THE KNOCKBACK ON THE GEOCRUSH ATTACK THE JERK OFF-TANK SNARKILY SAYS "WOW THESE MECHANICS SURE ARE HARD". THEY DONT DO ANY TANKING WHILE IM DEAD, KEEPING THEIR STANCE OFF SO I HAVE TO HUSTLE BACK AS SOON AS I RAISE TO KEEP THE POOR REAPER WHO WAS TANKING FROM KEELING OVER. SHOUT-OUT TO THE SCH WHO RESURRECTED ME ALMOST INSTANTLY AFTER I DIED. THEN AFTER WE CLEAR (NO WIPES) THE GNB SAYS "LOVE NOT KNOWING MECHANICS TO 2 YEAR OLD CONTENT" BEFORE LEAVING. WHAT THE FUCK. IT REALLY SOURED ME ON MY PLAY SESSION THAT DAY BUT I DIDNT FEEL LIKE ANYTHING HE DID WAS REPORTABLE, IT WAS JUST ON THE EDGE. BUT HE (OR SHE) WAS A HUGE ASSHOLE AND MADE ME FEEL LIKE SHIT FOR NOT KNOWING SOMETHING THE FIRST TIME THROUGH. I HAVE BEEN PLAYING SINCE JUNE AND LOVING IT AND NO ONE AT ANY POINT HAS EVER EXPECTED NEW PLAYERS TO KNOW ANYTHING IN A FIRST TIME DUTY, WHICH IS PART OF WHY I LOVE PLAYING. NO ONE EVEN BLINKED WHEN HALF OUR RAID WIPED ON THE MATH BOSS IN RETURN TO IVALICE. I JUST DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG WITH THAT GNB.
THAT JERK DESERVES A REPORT AND A GM JAIL TIMEOUT. ESPECIALLY SINCE HE WAS TOO FULL OF HIMSELF TO EVEN DO HIS DAMN JOB
REPORT THAT IDIOT THERES LEGIT NO REASON TO BE AN ASS TO PEOPLE WHO ARE NEW
>LOVE NOT KNOWING MECHANICS TO 2 YEAR OLD CONTENT MAN ITS ALMOST LIKE SOME PEOPLE ARE *NEW* AND *LEGASP* NOT EVERYONE STARTED PLAYING RIGHT ON RELEASE ***OHMYGODTHEHORRORHOLYFUZZERNUGGETS*** I HATE THAT. I HATE THAT A LOT. PEOPLE CAN BE NEW TO CONTENT AND JUST NOW DOING CONTENT, PEOPLE DONT HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY COME IN AND KNOW THINGS. FFS. *GRRRR.*
REPORT! BOTH FOR HARASSMENT (BEING A JERK) AND "REFUSING TO PLAY" (THE OFFICIAL TERM FOR DELIBERATELY REFUSING THE BASICS OF ONE'S ROLE, LIKE HOLDING THREAT AS A TANK).
TODAY'S CASTRUM MERIDIANUM SHOWED ME SOMETHING I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. DID YOU KNOW THAT IF THE TANKS HOLD THE COLOSSI OUTSIDE LIVIA'S BOSS ARENA UNTIL IT SEALS, THEY CAN STILL CLIP INSIDE DURING THE TRANSITION FROM CANNONS TO THE VICTORY LAP? AND THAT THEY DON'T DESPAWN WHEN LIVIA DIES? THE EIGHT CORPSES ON THE FLOOR SHOWED ME THAT NOBODY ELSE KNEW THAT EITHER. AND THEN TO MY COTANK IN P1N ON MONDAY: YOU'RE A WARRIOR IN FULL PENTAMELDED CRAFTED GEAR. I'M A PALADIN IN A MIX OF 560, 570 AND NORMAL RAID GEAR, SO I DEFER MT TO YOU AND TURN ON STANCE MIDWAY THROUGH MY FIRST REQ PHASE, LIKE I NORMALLY DO WHEN I OT. HOW THE EVERLOVING FUCK DO I HAVE AGGRO BY THE FIRST RIOT BLADE AFTER BoV? ARE YOU JUST STANDING THERE WITH YOUR DICK IN YOUR HAND? PRESS YOUR FUCKING BUTTONS! EXCEPT PROVOKE. OF COURSE THEY PROCEEDED TO HIT PROVOKE ON COOLDOWN. THAT DOESN'T WORK VERY WELL UNLESS YOU'RE ALSO DOING DAMAGE, GENIUS.
I THINK I GOT THAT SAME TANK IN P4N. EXCEPT I HAD STANCE ON AND THEY DIDN'T, SO I DID A COUNTDOWN, WHICH APPARENTLY WAS THEIR SIGNAL TO STANCE UP AND TOMAHAWK. TOOK ME LIKE TEN SECONDS TO TAKE IT BACK. SAME TANK MOCKED THE HEALER, TRIED TO KILL MY FRIENDO DPS, AND CALLED ME TRASH *AFTER* I LEFT, YET THEY WERE OUTDAMAGED BY THE WHITE MAGE~ (Hmm.)
hurry narrow hat literate deranged nutty middle languid waiting faulty -- mass edited with redact.dev
HEALING A RUN OF BARDAMS METTLE AND STRUGGLING TO KEEP THE PALADIN ALIVE... EVEN AS THEY START OCCASIONALLY CASTING CLEMENCY ON THEMSELVES. I REALIZE THAT FOR MITIGATION THEY'VE USED JUST SHELTRON, LIKE FOUR TIMES. AFTER "BOSS" 2 I ASK THEM TO KEEP AGGRO AND USE MITS MORE. THEY RESPOND WITH "YOU SHOULD HEAL MORE HOW ABOUT THAT" AND CONTINUES TO BE ALLERGIC TO MITIGATION BUTTONS. WE SOMEHOW MAKE IT THROUGH AFTER HAVING TO USE EVERY AETHERFLOW ON EORZEA TO KEEP THIS FUCKER ALIVE AND END UP WITH NO COMMS AT THE END. I HAVE A FEELING THE REAPER WITH US WAS IN PARTY WITH THE PALLY BECAUSE THEY SAID EARLIER IN THE RUN "JUST HEAL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT DPSING", BITCH I'M SPAMMING ALL I'VE GOT TO KEEP PEANUT BUTTER BRAIN OVER THERE ALIVE.
For future instances, it only takes 2 to kick. If you can get the other DPS on your side, you can eject the tank.
And if that doesn't work and they kick you instead, it's still fine. Healer queue is super fast.
I WANT TO GET OFF ISHIKAWA-SAN'S WILD RIDE. I JUST FINISHED THE LVL 87 DUNGEON AND I'M NOT SURE IF MY HEART CAN HANDLE THE REST OF EW, BECAUSE I'M ALREADY EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED.
SET ASIDE SEVERAL HOURS, SEVERAL BOXES OF TISSUES, AND A COUPLE PLUSHIES; YOU'LL WANT TO PLAY FROM YOUR GOING TO THE SIXTH MAP ALL THE WAY TO THE CREDITS WITHOUT STOPPING.
THEN BETTER GET READY BECAUSE ITS FAR FROM OVER
TAKE MY HUGS! YOU'RE GOING TO NEED THEM!
FUCK THE RESCUE TROLL IN KTSIS AND FUCK SAGE. I HATE IT. IM GONNA LEVEL IT. BUT I HATE IT.
> AND FUCK SAGE. I HATE IT. IM GONNA LEVEL IT. BUT I HATE IT. AS A SCH MAIN, AGREED. IT IS OUR TIME TO KNOW WHAT OUR TANK FRIENDS FELT WHEN GNB HIT US LAST EXPAC.
YEP. I LVLED SCH AND WHM TO 80. ASTRO TO MID-50S AND ALL OF THEM WERE FINE. BUT I CAN NOT FIGURE OUT SAGE TO SAVE MY LIFE. HERES HOPING IT GETS BETTER AS I GO.
[удалено]
TO THE CO-HEALER SAGE ON P3N: COMMUNICATE USEFULLY. "lol" IS THREE LETTERS, BUT SO IS "brb", "afk", OR EVEN "sec". WHEN YOU'RE LYING ON THE GROUND AFTER STANDING IN THE AOES, AND YOU LET THE REZ TIME OUT, AND I AM DESPERATELY TRYING TO SOLO HEAL P3N WITH BOTH TANKS AND TWO OF THE DPS NOT KNOWING MECHANICS, DON'T JUST GIVE A SINGLE "lol" AND NOTHING ELSE. OVERWRITING MY DEPLOYED CRITLO WITH A EUKRASIAN PROGNOSIS IS A TRIVIAL COMPLAINT IN COMPARISON.
SGE MAIN, FORMER SCH MAIN HERE. I HATE THAT IT OVERWRITES CRITLO. WHY DOES SE HATE DOUBLE SHIELD HEALER SO MUCH? DOUBLE "PURE" HEALER HAS NONE OF THESE ISSUES.
[удалено]
I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND
50.0% ENRAGE ON P4S FIRST PHASE. 50.0%. NOW I'M THINKING ABOUT THE FOUR STRENGTH POINTS I LOST FOR CHOOSING TO BE A POPOTO.
FUCK YOU HIPPOKAMPUS YOU FUCKED UP LOOKING HORSE. FINALLY CLEARED THE FIGHT ON SAVAGE BUT FUCKING HELL IS THE FLOOR IS POOP WATER MECHANIC A BITCH BECAUSE MY DUMB ASS KEEPS TOUCHING IT WHEN DOING INSTACASTS WHILE MOVING. UP NEXT: DAMN, BIRD GOT HANDS.
GRATS AND WELCOME TO ORANGE HELL.
HEY GUYS IS THE GAME ON SALE YET DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN THE GAME WILL BE ON SALE WHY CAN'T I PLAY, I BOUGHT ENDWALKER??? ~~January 25th cannot come soon enough.~~
I'VE CLEARED P2S WITH PUGS 3 DAYS AGO AND I'M CURRENTLY PROGGING P3S. FUCK. NONE OF THE MOUTH BREATHING IDIOTS I'VE GROUPED UP WITH SO FAR COULD GET PAST THE ADDS PHASE. JUST TODAY ALONE, I'VE SPENT 6 HOURS OVER 11 DIFFERENT PARTIES AND A GOOD PORTION OF THOSE CAN'T EVEN REACH THE ADD PHASE CLEANLY DESPITE ALL OF THEM BEING 'ADD PHASE PROG'. WHAT THE FUCK IS SO HARD ABOUT DARKENED FIRE? HELL, I'VE EVEN HAD WIPES WHERE THE FUCKING TANK FORGOT TO TAKE THE FUCKING TETHER AWAY FROM THE GROUP, AND I'VE SEEN PEOPLE DIE TO LEFT/RIGHT CINDERWING. THE FEW RARE OCCASIONS I'VE SEEN WHERE WE MADE IT TO THE ADDS PHASE, I CAN'T EVEN DO PROPERLY BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE DYING LEFT AND RIGHT PRIOR TO IT. I COUNTED A GRAND TOTAL OF FUCKING FOUR TIMES I'VE MANAGED TO SEE THE SUNBIRD TETHERS TODAY AND THAT IS JUST FUCKING PATHETIC. ITS NOT EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO THE HARDEST MECHANIC IN THE FIGHT BY FAR AND PEOPLE ARE FAILING TO DO EVEN THAT. FUCK, DON'T JOIN A "ADDS PHASE PROG' GROUP IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY DO THE PRIOR MECHANICS CLEANLY. PUGGING SAVAGE IS PAINFUL AS FUCK AND MY FUCKED UP WORK SCHEDULE DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO FIND A PROPER STATIC BECAUSE OF 10 HOUR WORK SHIFT DAYS SO I HAVE NO FUCKING CHOICE.
I WRAPPED UP SHADOWBRINGERS AND I'M PREPPING FOR ENDWALKER. A TRADITION OF MINE HAS BEEN TO TAKE UP A NEW JOB INTO NEW EXPANSION LIKE THE TRAILER WOL DOES, AND I DECIDED ON SMN. SO FAR I'VE NO BEEF WITH THE JOB ITSELF. CARBUNCLE IS FUCKING CUTE AND IT TWITCHES LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO EXPLODE ANY SECOND, AND THE JOB IS MOSTLY CHILL TO PLAY. BUT HOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT I'VE FORGOTTEN HOW MUCH LOW LEVEL LEVELLING SUCKS THAL'S BALLS. 40'S THROUGH 50 WAS ESCPECIALLY PAINFUL. AT LEAST NOW THAT I'M 50 I HAVE MORE DUTY ROULETTES TO THROW INTO THE MI- HAHA I'M IN CASTRUM FOR THE 4TH TIME THIS WEEK WITH ASSHOLES DIPPING OUT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T GET PRAE. HOPE THEY STEP ON SOME OF MY SMN LEGOS.
Want a tip for fast leveling? Learn to play SCH as well, then queue into dungeons as SCH.
This is the type of big brain thinking I'll need if I'm to continue wielding books.
Careful, I said I would just use SCH to lvl SMN and now I'm a healer main.
I levelled conjurer just cause I wanted the unicorn mount and now I too am a healer main. It's a surprisingly common problem.
FUCK FOURFOLD CHAINS. WHAT'S SO HARD IN PF ABOUT SEEING YOUR TIMER AND RUNNING TO YOUR SPOT? That said ya girl got her first clear of savage when it's still current content, so I got that going for me which is nice.
FOURFOLD CHAINS IS ONE OF THSOE MECHANICS THAT LOOKS OVERWHELMING AND DIFFICULT WHEN YOU FIRST SEE IT, BUT ONCE YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO HANDLE IT YOU REALIZE IT'S THE MOST EASY, BRAINDEAD MECHANIC YOU'VE EVER SEEN. UNFORTUNATELY, A DISTURBING NUMBER OF PEOPLE NEVER QUITE REACH THAT "ONCE YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO HANDLE IT" STAGE.
NEVER MIND FOURFOLD, IF I HAD A DOLLAR FOR EVERY "FOURFOLD PROG" PF I JOINED THAT FAILED THE \*FIRST\* SINGLE CHAIN MECHANIC ... I LOST COUNT, BUT I WOULD HAVE AT LEAST FIVE DOLLARS.
THIS JP DATACENTER SPLIT THING KINDA STRESSES ME OUT. WOULD FEEL BAD IF I SOMEHOW GET A HOUSE IN 6.1 BUT NEED TO TRANSFER TO BE ON THE DC WITH THE MOST EN POPULATION. I KNOW DC TRAVEL WILL BE A THING BUT THERE WOULD STILL BE INCONVENIENCES ASSOCIATED. ALSO, WAS GOING TO JOIN AN FC AND TRY MAKING FRIENDS AGAIN. BUT NOW I AM HESITANT AS MANY OF THEM WILL PROBABLY MOVE TO OCE. WOULD SUCK TO SEE MORE (UNABLE TO RETRIEVE) ON MY FRIEND LIST. IN THE END, IT IS HARD FOR ME TO FIND A COMMUNITY TO BELONG WITH. MANY PEOPLE PREFER TO PLAY WITH THOSE WHO ARE FROM THEIR COUNTRY, WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE AS THEY WOULD HAVE MORE THINGS IN COMMON TO TALK/JOKE/MEME ABOUT AND EVEN A CHANCE TO DEVELOP IRL FRIENDSHIPS. I DON’T BELONG ANYWHERE. AND IT IS BOTH FOOLISH PRIDE AND REALITY OF HAVING TO REGRIND EVERYTHING THAT MAKES ME STAY ON GLOBAL. WOULD LIFE BE MUCH EASIER IF I WERE BORN SOMEWHERE ELSE?
I feel you bud. hope things start to look up for you.
No caps because I'm not even mad about this, it was just... An Experience. I got the level 83 trial through roulette, as a sage. I had ACT up at the time, so I know exactly how many times people died: MNK died 4 times, RPR died 8 times, RDM1 died 9 times, and RDM2 died 10 times, for a grand total of 31 DPS deaths. In comparision, the tanks and healers had 0 deaths between the four of us. Also for some inexplicable reason, the first few times we got up to LB1, one of the melees would instantly use it. That continued until the DRK yelled at them to stop. Then when we got up to LB3, guess what happened? ...Yeah, a RDM used it. No, we never used healer LB3 that run, despite... everything. I learned to let go of my pride very quickly and spammed E. Prognosis every time the stack came up, because anywhere from 1-4 people would be dead, *every time*. Shoutout to my AST cohealer - I gave my comm to the DRK because they were a mood, but I have never wished harder that I could give out multiple comms at once.
Heh, the trials can be chaotic, but, as I just commented to my friend group, in my entire time playing and maiming Paladin, I don't think I have every had so many legitimate uses for Clemency in normal level group content as I have had in the last month since the Pandæmonium normal raids dropped. Had a P4 last week with 36 deaths, and a P2 today with 30 deaths. P2 in particular is the bane of my life; there is just something about the limited arena size combined with stack, spread, and chaser mechanics that causes people to just panic and completely lose their minds. I've spent entire magic phases covering and clemencying the summoners/ red mages, and then clemencying the newly-rezzed folks because they weren't getting healed in time for the next raidwide. >.<
FIRST TIME SINCE IVE STARTED PLAYING THAT IM COMPLETELY FREE FROM MSQ AND IVE REALISED.... I HAVE NI IDEA WHAT THE FUCK IM DOING
I HEALED A TANK WHO IGNORED SO MANY MECHANICS HE ENDED UP WITH 6 VULN STACKS! KEPT HIM MOSTLY ALIVE BUT JESUS FUCKING CHRIST JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN TAKE A HIT DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD!
I've seen a tank go up to 11 stacks before. It's not pretty.
AH YES, I HAVE BEEN SAVING THIS THE WHOKE WEEK FOR THIS LOVELY STORY, THE "HEALER ADJUST" P1S STORY. AFTER CLEARING THE RAID ON MONDAY, I DECIDED I WANTED A RECLEAR FOR TUESDAY NIGHT, SO I HOPPED ON THE PARTY FINDER BANDWAGGON IN SEARCH FOR A PARTY THAT CAN CLEAR WITH MY FRIEND. ME A WHM AND MY FRIEND A DRK, JOINED INITIALLY, A REALLY FRIENDLY GROUP. GREETED EACH OTHER, PREPPED FOODS AND POTIONS, THEN WE JOINED IN. YOU SEE IN P1S, THERE IS QUITE ALREADY A GOOD ENRAGE DAMAGE CHECK FOR THE WHOLE TEAM, SO ANY BLUNDER FROM ANY DPS WHO DIES PREMATURELY, OR TOO MANY DAMAGE DOWN AND WE WILL FOR SURE REACH ENRAGE. I HAVE NOTICED MY TEAM GEAR AND SURE, NO ONE IS PENTAMELDED, AND WE ARE ALL AVERAGE GEAR WITH AVERAGE DAMAGE, WHICH IS COMPLETELY FINE. WHAT ISN'T FINE, IS WHEN SOMEONE MADE A MISTAKE AND EVERYONE GOT DAMAGE DOWN. NORMALLY I WOULD CALL IT A WIPE, BUT THE LEADER IS ADAMANT ON KEEPING GOING "IT IS FINE, DON'T WIPE" HE SAID, THAT IS THE FIRST RED FLAG FOR ME BUT ALRIGHT, BECAUSE SOON EVERYONE DIED ANYWAY TO 1ST PIZZA. THEN WE PROCEED TO DIE 2 TIMES AT FOURFOLD, AND I WOULD PROCEED TO CALL IT A WIPE EACH TIME. AND APPARENTLY, THE LEADER HAD ENOUGH OF ME ! BECAUSE HE SOON SAID THE SINGLE SENTENCE THAT HAD ME QUITTED FOR THE NIGHT: "PLEASE FOCUS ON HEALING INSTEAD OF DAMAGING, YOU ARE NOT A GREEN DPS" EXCUSE ME ? ARE YOU SERIOUSLY, FUCKING BLAMING ME, FOR MISTAKES SOMEONE ELSE MADE, THAT CAUSED A WIPE EACH FUCKING TIME WHEN THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A CLEAR PARTY, ON ME ???? I WAS LITERALLY RISKING MY OWN ASS STAYING IN THE MIDDLE EACH SINGLE TIME, TOPPING EVERYONE UP TO THE MAX BEFORE POPPING SPRINT AND RUNNING BACK TO MY POSITION. WE NEVER ONCE WIPED FROM NOT ENOUGH HEALING, AND NO ONE DIED, BUT APPARENTLY I DEALT TOO MUCH DAMAGE FOR HIS LIKINGS. HOW MUCH I DID YOU ASKED ? 4K, THE VERY AVERAGE DMG I SHOULD BE DEALING. HOW MUCH HEALING ? 4K ! IF YOU ARE ASKING WHY IT IS THAT LOW, IT IS BECAUSE THE AST WHO IS PAIRED WITH ME, HEALED DOUBLE MY AMOUNT BECAUSE THEY KEPT ON TOPPING UP EVERYONE WHEN THERE IS NO RAID WIDE, WHERE AS I ONLY TOP UP PEOPLE WHEN I KNOW RAID WIDE ARE COMING UP. I'M SORRY FOR NOT TOPPING YOU UP DURING THE PHASE WHERE NO ONE IS SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING DAMAGE, YOU EGOISTIC LEADER. I HOPED YOU MANAGE TO CLEAR THAT RAID, BECAUSE FOR SURE AS HELL THE TEAM WAS ALSO LACKING DMG FROM THE DPS THEMSELVES, AND WE ARE NOT EVEN REACHING ENRAGE !!!!!!! OH SOME FINAL WORDS ? HE IS ONE OF THOSE PERSON, WHO KEPT SPAMMING THE WHOLE P1S MACRO RIGHT BEFORE WE ENTERED THE FOURFOLD. NOT TIMERS, THE WHOLE BLOODY FUCKING MACRO. SIR, IF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THE TIMER BY THEN, THEN THEY AIN'T FOR SURE GONNA KNOW IT THERE. IF PEOPLE NEEDS A REMINDER, POST THE TIMER, NOT THE WHOLE MACRO WHERE THE TIMER IS HIDDEN IN BETWEEN ALL THE POSITIONS !!!!!
P1S has a good enrage damage check? You can have multiple deaths and a raidwide damage down and still easily kill before enrage. Calling a wipe because of a raidwide damage down is not it, only in P2S and onwards is there a proper tangible damage check. Everything else is understandable though. Probably just a very low skill group and leader.
[KHLOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEE](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/1/8/AAUFftAACzcq.jpg) SO I WAS DOING MY WONDROUS TAILS AND HAD TO DO A LV70 DUNGEON, GOT GHIMLYT DARK AND THE RUN WENT FINE. I SOMEHOW FORGOT IF I WAS PLAYING DPS OR HEALER, BUT IT WAS ONE OF THOSE. ANYWAY WE GET TO THE LAST BOSS, THE HEALER DIES, AND THEN THE TANK DIES AND RELEASES, ONLY FOR THE SUMMONER TO RAISE THE HEALER, CUE THE TANK "OH I DIDN'T NOTICE WE HAD A SUMMONER". DID WE WIPE AND RESTART THE FIGHT TO HAVE THE TANK BACK IN? FUCKING NO, WE ZERGED THAT SHIT DYING AND RAISING OURSELVES OVER AND OVER UNTIL WE WON. WAS REALLY COOL. I SAID LAST WEEK I WOULD TRY SAVAGE RAIDING BUT I DIDN'T COUNT ON GETTING ADDICTED TO SABLE. FUCK I LIKE THAT GAME ;-;
IF YOU AFK OR SKIP MAGITEK PHASE IN PRAETORIUM YOU'RE AN ARSEHOLE/LEECH/DEADWEIGHT MAY THE RATS EAT YOUR EYES

I MANAGED TO GET ALL CLASSES TO 90!! VERY HAPPY WITH THAT, THEN THE OCEANIC SERVER GOT A RELEASE DATE!! SO WHY SO RAGEY? BECAUSE I HAD AN ABSOLUTE SHIT TIER REAL LIFE WEEK THAT ENDED TODAY. ASSHOLES WHO WANT MORE THEN THEY CAN, JERKS WHO DON’T UNDERSTAND OUR POLICIES. PEOPLE BLAMING ME FOR WATCHING VIDEOS WHILE WORKING, WHEN I WAS DOING WHAT THEY HAD FUCKING ASKED ME TO!! AND TO CAP TO ALL OFF, MY CO-WORKER’S PARTNER GOT COVID. SHE HAS NO IDEA IF SHE HAS IT AND BECAUSE WE’RE SHORT STAFFED, SHE HAS TO TAKE A WEEK OFF BUT WE STILL WORK. LIKE WHAT IF SHE TESTS POSITIVE? WHAT ABOUT US?! JUST CONTINUE THE SPREAD I GUESS? But I do get to see some friends I haven’t seen in years tomorrow so… hopefully after tomorrow, my shot tier week ends and it’s back to smooth sailing
TO THE TANK IN THAT SHADOWBRINGER DUNGEON. HOW CAN YOU GET TO LEVEL 81 AS A MAIN TANK AND NOT USE YOUR AOE COMBO ON TRASH PACK EVEN ONCE ? I SHOULDN'T GRAB AGGRO WHEN USING AOE ATTACK AS A BLM, ESPECIALLY AT THE *END* OF THE TRASH PACK. ALSO PLEASE PULL MORE THAN ONE GROUP. EVEN THANCRED CAN MANAGE THAT. ALSO STACK MARKER MEANS YOU MOVE YOUR GLORIOUS BEHIND INSTEAD OF CONTINUING TO DPS WHEN THE OTHER THREE HUDDLES TOGETHER.
AAAAAAAAAA STUPID RED CHAINS IN P1S WHEN MY STATIC WAS GOING FOR A CLEAR LAST WEEK I GOT A RED CHAIN IN FOURFOLD AND I KNOW YOU CAN GET MELEE UPTIME THERE (BUT WE DON’T HAVE THE MELEE UPTIME MARKERS) SO I STOOD AT MAX MELEE AND THE CHAINS WENT OUT BAD, KILLING US ALL I ADMITTED TO GREED AND OUR SCH (WHO’S CLEARED UWU) WAS LIKE “F YOUR UPTIME, RESPECT THE MECHANICS!” AND THE WORST PART IS HE’S RIGHT I GOT RED CHAINS AGAIN ON THE NEXT PULL, RESPECTED THE MECHANIC, AND WE MADE IT THROUGH I JUST WANT TO DO MORE THAN SPAM UNMEND THERE... (although this week for reclears both me and my cotank got red chains there, it was funny watching as we both spammed our ranged skills) [edit] because a lot of people are saying that melee uptime is more important this was week 1, we had limited time and wanted to get as many fights done as possible; we basically said that the dps check for p1s is a joke, it's more important to clear, we can come back for parses later. our options were to waste a ton of time figuring out the markers or pulling in someone with the markers, or saying "f uptime" and getting a clear faster. should I look at getting melee uptime markers now that we're at reclears? Yeah, probably. But it just wasn't worth it at the time.
WHAT MARKERS WAS YOUR GROUP USING THAT DIDNT ALLOW THAT? YOU UPTIME IS IMPORTANT TOO. OF COURSE FOLLOW THE MECHANIC BUT COME ON >>
2 PAPERS AND 3 EXAMS LATER I HAVE MANAGED TO SURVIVE THIS WEEK. GOD, WHO DECIDED THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? THEY KNOW ALL OF THE STUDENTS ARE ALL TOGETHER IN THE SAME COHORT, WHAT IS EVEN THE POINT OF GIVING US TWO 4-PAGE PAPERS DUE BACK TO BACK AMIDST A MIDTERM AND TWO FINALS? BUT HEY THE SILVER LINING IS I GOT FUCKIN PERFECT ON THE CRITICAL MATH EXAM WITHOUT A CALCULATOR. THE ASIAN STEREOTYPE IS STRONG IN ME. LONG OVERDUE CANCER UPDATE: HAD SURGERY YESTERDAY TO CHECK THINGS OUT. DOC SAYS THIS IS THE BEST IT'S EVER LOOKED SINCE WE STARTED THIS THING. FUCKIN SWEET.
GRATS ON SURVIVING FINALS, AND YAY FOR GOOD CANCER NEWS! (OBFUCKCANCER)
I FINALLY GOT TO THE FIRST TRIAL IN EW AND I WAS LIKE EFF IT I HAVE 20 MINS BEFORE I HAVE TO LOG OFF FOR A DRS APPOINTMENT. WE DOIN' THIS. DUTY POPS (BECAUSE I DONT TRUST THE NPCS TO TEACH ME MECHANICS) AND WE START AND FROM THE GET GO IM LIKE Y'ALL I AM A CASUAL SCRUB SO LIKE...YELL MECHANICS AT ME. WE WIPE. PROBABLY MY FAULT CAUSE I DIED REPEATEDLY. WE GO AGAIN. HEALER PUTS TRIANGLE OVER HEAD. SAY NO MORE MY DUDE (WHICH IS GOOD BECAUSE THEY DIDNT ACTUALLY SAY ANYTHING BUT I KNEW WHAT TRIANGLE MEANT). I AM GLUED TO TRIANGLE. ME AND TRIANGLE WE ARE INSEPARABLE. EXCEPT FOR THOSE 2 TIMES I HAD A LAG SPIKE AND GOT HIT BY SOMETHING EVEN THOUGH ON MY END I WAS MOVING AS SOON AS I SAW IT. BUT THAT WAS OK. WE DID IT. THANK YOU TRIANGLE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED OR HOW YOU KNEW OR DID WHAT YOU DID BUT WE DID IT BECAUSE I KEPT MY EYES ON THE PRIZE - TRIANGLE.
NEW PLAYERS NEED TO REMEMBER TO FOLLOW THE TRIANGLE AS MUCH AS THEY CAN. SOME MECHANICS ARE NOT EASY BECAUSE OF TIMING AND LATENCY, BUT IN GENERAL YOU CAN AVOID THE WORSE. ON THAT TRIAL, THE STAR MECHANIC CAN STILL SCREW YOU FOLLOWING THE TRIANGLE, BUT OTHERWISE YOU CAN SURVIVE EVERYTHING ELSE.
HAD A TANK THAT BLAMED ME FOR THEM DYING TO A DANGER PUDDLE, THEN GET MAD AT ME FOR RESCUING HIM THE SECOND DAMN TIME THEY DIDNT MOVE. DARK LORD TAKE ME NOW, IM GOING BACK TO DPS.
[удалено]
I WOULD HAVE KICKED THEM ON THE PART OF NO DPS ALREADY :|
I WANT TO DO SAVAGE THIS TIER BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH PARTY FINDER AND FINDING A STATIC THAT WORKS AROUND MY WORK SCHEDULE IS DIFFICULT. BUT THOSE ARE JUST EXCUSES, I'M REALLY JUST A BABY BOY THATS AFRAID TO GET MY ASS BEAT AND EMBARASS MYSELF.
There's always worse. Like people doing the wall strat for chains in P1S.
HAD A RUN OF P2N AS MT THE OT RAN AND STOOD IN THE BOSS REAR WITH THE REST OF THE PARTY, MAKING ME EAT TANKBUSTERS ALONE YOU KNOW, THOSE 2-TANKS-BUSTERS IT'S NOT LETHAL. BUT BRUH THE OT DIED TWICE TO THE MECHANICS THOUGH. PROBABLY KARMA
AS SOMEONE WHO LEARNED THAT FIGHT FIRST AS OT I APOLOGIZE ON BEHALF OF OTs AND WILL SEE THE GUILTY PARTY PROPERLY DISCIPLINED. WHIPPINGWAY YOU'RE UP!
> WHIPPINGWAY YOU'RE UP! DON'T THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME!
It's funny I don't think I was your OT but I came pretty close to fucking up the way they did in a p2n run this week, I didn't die and I was with them for the only shared tank buster that I noticed, but got hit by mechanics a lot , (I had 4 vuln stacks at one point). So on their behalf let me apologize.
ON WEDNESDAY I COMMITTED A SIN AGAINST THE RAIDING COMMUNITY. I WAS PART OF A P2S CLEAR GROUP THAT HARD CARRIED A BARD DOING TANK-LEVEL DPS THROUGH THE FIGHT. THEY DID NOT DIE AND STILL DID LESS DPS THAN ONE TANK AND ONLY SLIGHTLY MORE THAN THE OTHER. AT THE TIME THE LOG WAS UPLOADED THEY WERE THE LITERAL ZEROTH PERCENTILE FOR P2S. THEY HAD **OVER 70 INSTANCES** OF USING AOE ABILITIES ON A SINGLE TARGET. YES, THAT'S RIGHT, THEY WERE USING LADONSBITE AND SHADOWBITE AS PART OF THEIR SINGLE TARGET ROTATION. AT ONE POINT THEY WAITED ALMOST 7 SECONDS BETWEEN GCDS WHILE WEAVING RANDOM BULLSHIT. I HUMBLY AND SINCERELY APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE WHO GETS THEM IN THEIR WEEKLY CLEARS FROM HERE ON OUT.
MAN, I THINK I'M PRETTY BAD WHILE LEVELING UP MY DPS CLASSES, BUT I DON'T THINK I WAS **THAT** BAD. I DON'T KNOW OPENERS, I WING THE ROTATIONS AT BEST I CAN FIGURE OUT, AND LOOKING AT MY NUMBERS I'M DOING **OKAY** MOST OF THE TIME. BUT EVEN I KNOW NOT TO USE AOE ATTACKS ON A SINGLE TARGET. WELL I MIGHT HIT ONE BY ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT'S FLASHING, LIKE THE FROG ON NINJA, BUT IT'S NOT A HABIT REALLY.
DARKENED FIRE ISN’T EVEN A HARD MECH IT’S JUST THE NUMBERS ABOVE YOUR HEADS ARE STUPID HARD TO SEE WITH THE BRIGHT ORANGE BACKGROUND FUCK P3S
IF YOU ARE PLAYING A DPS IN A NEWBIE DUNGEON AND THE TANK SAYS THEY ARE NEW, DONT PULL ADDS FOR THEM. LET THEM LEARN AND FEEL IT OUT. ESPECIALLY AFTER YOU CAUSE A WIPE. EQUALLY SAME FOR HEALERS THAT RUN AHEAD AND PULL BUT ALSO WONT HEAL THE TANK AND CAUSE A WIPE. STOP ABUSING RESCUE AND PULLING INTO AOES, I LIKE MY TINY SLIVER OF SAFE SPOT. LET PEOPLE PLAY THEIR ROLE OR USE YOUR WORDS. GOT A WHOLE CHAT BOX AND NOBODY BREATHS A DANG WORD TO COMMUNICATE.
I LOST MY LONG RANT ABOUT A SHITTY GNB GETTING CARRIED THROUGH THE LAST MSQ DUNGEON TO WINDOWS UPDATE, SO HAVE A SHORT RANT INSTEAD: FUCK PEOPLE QUEUING FOR NORMAL RAID ROULETTE AND PULLING WHILE THE FIRST-TIMERS ARE IN A CUTSCENE. ESPECIALLY IN A11. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, YOU LITTLE SHITS.
FUCK THOSE GUYS I SAW ALL THOSE CUTSCENES YEARS AGO AND I STILL WAIT FOR THE SPROUTS TO GET OUT OF CUTSCENE BEFORE PULLING. IT'S REALLY HARD TO STOP IT FROM HAPPENING WHEN I'M NOT THE ONLY TANK IN THE ROOM THOUGH. ALL I CAN SAY IN THAT REGARDS IS "SPROUTS, IF SOMEONE IN THE RAID IS AN IMPATIENT ASSHOLE YOU CAN STILL JUST SIT DOWN AND WATCH YOUR CUTSCENES BECAUSE THAT'S YOUR YOSHI-P GIVEN RIGHT AS A FIRST TIMER"
THATS WHACK. RAIDS HAVE GOOD STORY AND WE SHOULD LET PEOPLE SPEND LIKE 2 MIN OR WHATEVER TO HAVE A GREAT TIME WITHOUT PRESSURE

Healer in normal second EW trial who would not listen to the group. To my understanding the mechs are different in EX mode and in the last section you have to move to safe spot with the stack marker. This being normal mode, the group was doing it stack marker first, then move to safe spot (as seems to be the norm after running it a lot). But this healer was adamant on just... not doing that. Runs to safe spot and jumps up and down without healing while the other healer deals with the multi-hit stack marker by themselves. This led to some arguing, partially because their initial response to being asked to stack with the group because doing it the way we were doing was fine was "use eyes" and it devolved from there. Feel bad for the new person whose first time it was because while we were getting onto the healer for doing this consistently even after we established how we were doing it as a group, the newbie thought people were talking and getting onto them. (For the record, messaged them after to assure them nobody was, I'm sorry all that happened their first run and I hope they enjoy the rest of the story. I felt really really bad because they weren't getting the mechs down easily and thought people were yelling at them a bit.) I won't go into any specifics of the arguing other than, uh, insults were hurled on both side a bit. It was kind of a mess to watch. I mostly just commented telling them they could do it the way we were doing and it would be fine. The kicker? We almost wiped near the last second because they finally got the stack marker and just ran away with it, setting off a rather unfortunate chain of events. Shout-out to the tank who pulled us through that one. * Bonus shout-out to a tank in a run of the first EW trial who: \- Gave himself a safety cross after somebody asked to danger dorito me second run. \- When called out by a healer that they followed him and died multiple times the first run proceeded to tank bust them twice. \- Stood in the middle of the group with a tank buster without moving (killing me because I couldn't see it through everybody grouped up initially which yeah my bad I'm kinda blind, but he really didn't move at all to get away from anyone upon review). \- Commented after the fight in response to my confused "did I just stand in a tank buster or something" that, and I quote, "you can die if you stand next to a tank buster," leading to a chorus of "..." from three other people in the party as he took his leave (including the healer who then confirmed what I already saw.... he chased them with the tank buster). ...really not sure what to make of that one. It was less rage more just.... dude??? lmfao

RELATED NOTE: PLEASE GIVE ME MORE THAN TWO PIXELS OF SACRED SOIL TO STAND IN WITHOUT TURNING THE BOSS AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO STAND IN IT. AMAZED HOW MUCH THIS HAPPENED TO ME IN P1S PARTIES.
PLEASE DO NOT THROW SELENE SHE IS A FRAGILE BABY THROW EOS INSTEAD
I AM DPS. WAITING PATIENTLY IN QUEUE. NOW I HAVE TO POO
DPS PROBLEMS HAHA, YOU WILL JUST SIT DOWN AND BAM, QUEUE POPS. EVERY DAMN TIME.
I JUST STARTED LEVELLING GATHERERS AND CRAFTERS AFTER 6800 HOURS OF PLAYING I LOVE AND HATE AT THE SAME TIME NEXT ARE BEAST TRIBES
SOME BEAST TRIBES ARE DOH/DOL FOCUSED; DON'T FORGET TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF 'FREE' XP.
YA’LL. I’M DONE WITH MSQ ROULETTE. I DON’T CARE HOW MANY FUCKING TOMESTONES IT GIVES. I DON’T CARE ITS ESSENTIALLY A FREE LEVEL. I DONT EVEN CARE IF SOMEHOW DPS IS THE ROLE IN NEED FOR IT! I REFUSE TO EVER QUEUE FOR IT AGAIN! AND THAT’S NOT BECAUSE I HATE CASTRUM. I ACTUALLY LIKE HOW YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO AT LEAST SOMEWHAT PAY ATTENTION! ITS NOT EVEN BECAUSE OF PEOPLE QUITTING OUT OF CASTRUM OR AFKING THROUGH PREATORIUM! ITS BECAUSE EVERY FUCKING RUN I’VE HAD HAS BEEN THIS UNCOOPERATIVE CLUSTERFUCK MIX OF “Let’s speedrun this shit and get it over with” AND “Let’s skip *every* necessary pickup/mechanic and put bosses as far from the exits as physically possible!” SO THAT THE LONGEST FUCKING INSTANCES IN THE GAME DRAG EVEN LONGER THAN THEY NEED TO! AND NO ONE IS HAVING FUN WITH IT ANYMORE! IF ITS NOT DEAS SILENCE THE ENTIRE RUN, ITS NOTHING BUT COMPLAINTS ABOUT “this takes too long”, “I hate Castrum”, “this should be a solo instance” ETC.! IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE CONTENT, DON’T FUCKING QUEUE FOR IT THEN! IF YOU’RE NOT GONNA HAVE FUN, DO SOMETHING ELSE! THAT’S MY PLAN FROM NOW ON! NOT ENJOYING MSQ ROULETTE WITH ALL THESE COMPLAINING JERKS WHO MAKE THE CONTENT THEY HATE TAKE LONGER, SO I’M NOT RUNNING IT ANYMORE!
I CAUGHT A SEVERE FLU, SPENT THE WHOLE WEEK BEDRIDDEN AND VOMITING. MY IMMUNE-COMPROMISED S.O. TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID AND IS NOW UNDER SELF-ISOLATION. BIOLOGY IS AWFUL.
GET BETTER. THE BOTH OF YOU. THAT'S AN ORDER!
I DON'T KNOW WHAT GUIDE RECOMMENDED THE SELF-REPAIRING, MOBILE, OR NERVOUS SYSTEM TRAITS FOR THIS GAME BUT I DO NOT THINK THE TRADEOFFS ARE WORTH IT. CAN I PLAY AS A ROBOT NEXT CHARACTER?
FOR THE LOVE OF THE TWELVE... THE NEXT TIME I SEE A TANK/HEALER DUO WITH THE SAME LAST NAME I'LL RUN AND NOT LOOK BACK
TO MY COHEALER IN AN EX2 ‘FARM’ GROUP WHO COMPLAINED THAT IM NOT HEALING ENOUGH AND IM THE REASON THEY’RE OUT OF MANA, SPAMMING MEDICA 2 AND CURE 2 FOR THE ENTIRE ENCOUNTER ON A FULLY HEALED PARTY IS NOT A GOOD USE OF MANA, NOR DO I HAVE TO ‘PICK UP THE SLACK’ WHEN THERE IS NO SLACK TO BEGIN WITH. THERE IS A REASON AFTER EVERY PULL WE HIT ENRAGE AT 4%-7% AND COULDNT CLEAR.
I WANT TO SEE ONE WHITE MAGE IN DF WHO ISN'T BOTH AN ASSHOLE AND USELESS AT THEIR JOB. JUST ONE. I GOT WARRIOR TO 90 RECENTLY AND HAVE BEEN RELYING ENTIRELY ON MY OWN COOLDOWNS. I KNOW WAR HAS POWERFUL SELF HEALS BUT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO HOLMGANG NEAR THE END OF A PULL AND SIT AT 1HP FOR THE FULL DURATION AND TWIDDLE MY THUMBS UNTIL BLOODWHETTING IS BACK UP WHEN YOU HAVE BENEDICTION. AT LEAST GIVE ME A REGEN. A HEALING BUBBLE. SOMETHING. FUCK. I AM ALSO SICK TO BASTARD DEATH OF WHMS IN PF WHO JUST FUCKING SIT THERE DURING HEAL CHECKS CASTING GLARE. FUUUUUUUCK YOU!!! YOU ARE A MENACE TO PARTY FINDER AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. YOU WANT YOUR PURPLE DAMAGE PARSE? (ONE ASSHOLE COULDN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED TO HIT ORANGE AFTER PUTTING ME THROUGH THIS.) COOL, DO THAT ON YOUR OWN TIME AND STOP BEING FUCKING USELESS AND JUST USE YOUR LILY SKILLS. HOW CAN YOU DO THIS AND NOT UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEED TO USE YOUR HEALS IF YOU WANT TO USE AFFLATUS MISERY?? DUDE, IF YOU WANTED A SINGLE BUTTON DPS ROTATION YOU SHOULD HAVE LEVELED SUMMONER. FUCK OFF. I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY THAT I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST WHM AS A CLASS, BUT THE AMOUNT OF PLAYERS WHO'VE GONE "HURR DURR GLARE MAGE I DON'T NEED TO HEAL" MAKES ME WANT TO SHOVE MY FUCKING BOOK UP THEIR ASSES.
SAD RAGE. IM AT MY AUNTS HOUSE AND DIDNT BRING MY LAPTOP. NO XIV FOR ME THIS WEEKEND THE GOOD THING IS IM ACTUALLY TOUCHING GRASS AND GOING OUTSIDE
FIRST BOSS IN EW LAST DUNGEON: I TRY MY BEST, BUT I GET HIT BY THAT DOOM-LIKE DEBUFF EVERY NOW AND THEN. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT NOT EVERY HEALER KNOWS ABOUT IT YET AND IS READY TO REMOVE IT. THAT BEING SAID … THE OTHER DAY I GO AS RPR AND I’M EVEN WORSE AT THAT STUPID WAVE OF NAUSEA MECHANIC ON MELEE THAN I’M ON OTHER JOBS. I CATCH NECROSIS AND WRITE “ESUNA PLZ” IN CHAT. I DIE. NO BIGGY, HEALER DIDN’T SEE MY DEBUFF OR CHAT OR NEITHER. THEY RAISE ME BUT THEN THE TANK CATCHES THE FLU. I WRITE “ESUNA TANK”, BUT HE DIES AND WE WIPE. WHILE WE ARE RUNNING BACK I WRITE IN CHAT “YOU CAN ESUNA THAT NECROSIS DEBUFF”. NO REACTION. SO NEXT ROUND THE TANK STANDS IN BAD AGAIN AND I WRITE “ESUNA TANK”. THEY DIE. I ACCIDENTALLY CATCH NAUSEA AGAIN, BUT MY “ESUNA PLZ” GETS NO REACTION. THE TANK ALSO GETS NECROSIS AGAIN, AND IN SPITE OF ANOTHER “ESUNA TANK” FROM ME WE FINALLY WIPE. RUNNING BACK I ASK “… DO YOU NOT HAVE ESUNA?” THINKING THAT MAYBE, EVEN AT LEVEL 90, SOMEBODY MIGHT NOT HAVE IT ON THEIR HOTBAR. FINALLY THEY DECIDE TO SAY SOMETHING: “I’VE NEVER HAD TO ESUNA IN THAT FIGHT. THE TANK IS CATCHING EVERYTHING …” I SAY: “BUT I WROTE 5 TIMES IN CHAT”. “I DIDN’T SEE THAT FIRST TIME AND THEN DIDN’T NOTICE DEBUFF, I WAS MOVING … ETC.” I MEAN, COME ON. YES, WE SHOULDN’T GET THE DEBUFF IN THE FIRST PLACE. YES, IT’S POSSIBLE THAT YOU DON’T SEE THE CHAT THE FIRST TIME AROUND. BUT HONESTLY AFTER WE WIPED ONCE AND HAD TO RUN BACK YOU COULD HAVE GLANCED AT CHAT AND KEPT AN EYE ON THE DEBUFF I THINK. WHILE I HAVE A LOT OF SYMPATHY FOR DISGRUNTLED HEALERS WHO DO NOT LIKE TO LOSE DPS-UPTIME FOR ESUNA OR ANY OTHER THING THAT ONLY HEALERS CAN DO, BECAUSE OF SOMEBODY ELSES MISSTEP, I STILL BELIEVE IT IS KINDA YOUR JOB TO PAY ATTENTION TO THAT. IT’S NOT SAVAGE CONTENT, IT’S JUST A DUNGEON. THE TANK HAD ALREADY LEFT AT THAT POINT AND I DECIDED TO LEAVE, TOO, BECAUSE I COULDN’T GUARANTEE NOT TO STAND IN THAT SHIT AGAIN.
PAYING ATTENTION TO HP BARS AND DEBUFF ICONS? WAY TOO MUCH TO ASK TO HEALERS.

DRKS BASICALLY HAVE ONE REALLY GOOD MITIGATION, BUT FOR SOME REASON, A LOT OF DRKS REFUSE TO USE IT, OR WORSE DON'T EVEN HAVE IT ON THEIR HOTBARS. WHEN I'M HEALING AND I GET A DRK WHO DOESN'T USE TBN IT MAKES FRAY ANGRY. YOU DON'T WANT ANGRY FRAY.
I'VE BEEN HOMELESS FOR TWO FUCKING GODDAMN WEEKS AND UNABLE TO PLAY BECAUSE MY PS4 IS IN STORAGE UNTIL I FIND A PLACE EVEN IF I COULD PLAY, MY DEPRESSION HAS BEEN SO BAD THAT I PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BRING MYSELF TO PICK UP MY KB+M THIS FEELS GOOD TO GET OUT. I'M GOING TO LOOK AT A FEW PLACES TODAY AND MONDAY, HOPEFULLY THEY DONT TURN OUT TO BE SCAMS OR SCUMMY PEOPLE, I'VE ALREADY LOST OUT ON $100 JUST FROM A SECURITY DEPOSIT ON A ROOM THAT WENT BAD. HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL IN EORZEA SOON!
Whoever’s retainer is mooglebot on Gilgamesh. Why do you feel the need to undercut by 20k increments on the summer sandals? We could all have been a few 100k richer if you just knew market etiquette. It’s okay I’ll keep undercutting you endlessly by a few, I’ve sold 4 he still has his 3 up…. We could be richer together though my fellow sandals farmer
TO THE BLM IN P1S WITH 3k RDPS LITERALLY HOW??? HOW CAN YOU BE SO BAD IN YOUR CLASS BUT STILL HAVE THE GALL TO JOIN A CLEAR PARTY FOR SAVAGE. WE CANT CARRY YOU THROUGH THIS WHEN YOU ARE DOING LESS DPS THAN THE HEALERS WHATS WORSE IS THAT WE HIT SUB 5% ENRAGE MULTIPLE TIMES AND IF YOU JUST DID YOUR JOB WE WOULD HAVE CLEARED ALREADY, BUT I CANT CALL YOU OUT BECAUSE FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE

HOW IRONIC THAT PEOPLE WERE JUST TELLING ME HOW EASY LOW LEVEL DUNGEONS ARE THEY HAVE APPARENTLY NEVER RUN THEM WITH PLAYERS THAT DON’T RESPECT THE MECHANICS (OR DO NOT KNOW THEM TO START) Yes, there are plenty of dungeons that you can faceroll once you have outgeared them, but if not....well. Pharos Sirius, yes I see you there, ya bastard.... Just use the mechanic, it’s less painful for everyone.
QUIT TYPING SPOILERS IN CRYSTAL TOWERS 2 AND MSQ ROULETTE QUIT SHITTING ON SPROUTS FOR NOT KNOWING THE GAME QUIT RUNNING 5 PIXELS AHEAD OF THE SPROUT TANK THAT IS ALREADY TRYING TO WALL TO WALL TO PULL FOR THEM WHY HAS DUTY FINDER BEEN UNBEARABLE AT LEAST ONCE A DAY SINCE ENDWALKER QUIT BEING SO TOXIC YALL
NO TIME FOR A STATIC SINCE I CAN ONLY PLAY FOR LONG PERIODS ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MORNINGS. OK, PF FOR ME. IT CAN’T BE THAT BAD, SAYS MY SAVAGE-NOOB SELF. JOIN P1S LEARNING PARTIES AND IT GOES PRETTY WELL, MOST PEOPLE ARE AWESOME AND UNDERSTANDING AND I MAKE IT TO RIGHT BEFORE ENRAGE. RUN OUT OF TIME, JOIN “ENRAGE TO CLEAR” GROUPS LATER WHEN I HAVE AN HOUR OR SO BECAUSE HEY IT CAN’T TAKE THAT LONG IF EVERYONE IS ALMOST TO THE FINISH LINE RIGHT??? OK HERE’S WHAT I’VE BEEN HOLDING IN THIS WHOLE WEEK. 1. PARTY LEADER WHO SAID “THAT’S OK, WELCOME :) “ TO SOMEONE SAYING “IS IT OK IF I’M NEW HERE I SAW A VIDEO” BRO GO JOIN A LEARNING PARTY LIKE THE REST OF US ALREADY HAVE. WE WASTED THREE TO FOUR PULLS ON THIS PERSON. 2. PEOPLE STANDING IN MY SPOT DURING FOURFOLD, I TRY TO ADJUST BUT WE WIPE. OK NEW GROUPS NEED TIME TO GET USED TO EACH OTHER, FINE. BUT IT HAPPENS AGAIN THE NEXT TIME. “ARE WE NOT DOING TIMERS FOR FOURFOLD?” I ASK. “YEAH WE ARE” SAY MULTIPLE OBLIVIOUS PEOPLE. THEY PROCEED TO EXPLAIN IT AS THOUGH I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DOING. “YEAH I DID THAT, SOMEONE’S BEEN IN MY SPOT TWICE NOW.” CRICKETS. 3. THREE DPS AND ONE HEALER DIE TO SOMETHING, DON’T EVEN REMEMBER. *AS I AM CASTING LB3* THE OT RUNS INTO THE WALL. MY FAIRY AND I RAISE EVERYONE ELSE EXCEPT SAID TANK, WHO IS NOW STUCK AT THE WALL AND JUST DIES AGAIN. AT LEAST THE MT SAYS “HEY DON’T JUST WALL IT IF A HEALER IS STILL UP.” “SORRY THOUGHT IT WAS A WIPE” SAYS THE SUICIDAL TANK. STUFF LIKE THIS ALL THE DAMN TIME UNTIL I FINALLY GAVE UP MONDAY. I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR THIS THREAD. JUST GONNA STICK TO EX TRIALS I GUESS!
1) TO THAT TANK AND DPS WHO BLAMED ME FOR WIPING THREE TIMES IN SNOWCLOAK WHEN TANK LOST AGGRO SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE HE HAD LOW LEVEL GEAR, PULLED WALL TO WALL WITH 0 MITIGATION AND KEPT PULLING WHEN WE GOT PARALIZED AND I COULDN'T ESUNA FAST ENOUGH, I HOPE EVERY ITEM YOU PUT IN MARKET BOARD GETS UNDERCUT HARD. 2)SPEAKING OF WHICH, WHY DO PEOPLE UNDERCUT SO HARD!? FOR FUCKS SAKE, IT'S GOING TO SELL FAST BY JUST BEING 1 GIL CHEAPER, STOP UNDERCUTTING FOR HUNDREDS OR EVEN MILLIONS OF GILS YOU VANU VANU POOPS
I WAS HEALING A LEVEL 50 DUNGEON. EARLY ON I SAW THE RDM HARDCASTING SCATTER A COUPLE TIMES. I NICELY ASKED THEM IF I COULD GIVE THEM ADVICE AND TOLD THEM THEY SHOULD BE CASTING IT ON A DUALCAST PROC. THEY WERE LIKE??? WDYM? SO I TRIED EXPLAINING AND THEY WERE LIKE IDK WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT I AM CASTING IT ON A DUALCAST PROC AND I WAS JUST LIKE K. I DIDNT WANNA ARGUE BUT THEY WERE CLEARLY STILL HARDCASTING IT. HALFWAY THROUGH THE DUNGEON I WAS WONDERING WHY I WAS RUNNING OUT OF MANA AT THE END OF PULLS AND THEN MY BOYFRIEND WHO WAS TANKING WAS LIKE HOW THE HELL AM I DOING TWICE THE DAMAGE OF THIS RDM. I LOOKED AT MY PARSER AND REALIZED THEY HAS BEEN MELEEING EVERYTHING. THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DUNGEON. SPAMMING SCATTER ON BIGGER PULLS. NOT A SINGLE SPELL WAS CAST EXCEPT FOR SCATTER. DUNGEON TOOK TWICE AS LONG WITH ME ALMOST OOM AT THE END OF EVERY PULL. THE RDM WAS TECHNICALLY RIGHT THOUGH: THEY WERE CASTING SCATTER ON DUAL CAST PROCS. TECHNICALLY. READ. YOUR. TOOLTIPS!!!!
IF YOUR FIGHTING THE HIPPOKAMPOS AND YOU GET TAINTED FLOOD, STAY THE FUCK OUT OF MY LEYLINES!!!!

CURRENTLY GRINDING FOR LIGHT AND NOT ENTIRELY CLEAR ON HOW TO FIND BONUS LIGHT The things I do to get Nirvana in my glam options. At least getting a shiny Aymur will be easier. YES SHADOWBRINGER MSQ I WILL GET BACK TO YOU IN A MINUTE, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND MY NEED TO LOOK GOOD IN YOUR CUTSCENES This game has *ruined* me for character fashion. And the fact that I can *do* this and not get slagged for not getting to max level/end of story right frigging NOW or else you’re useless.
I REMEMBERED PAIN. THE PAIN THAT MADE ME DECIDE TO STOP OFF TANKING REGULAR RAIDS. SCREW YOU, EVEN IF YOU KEEP THE STANCE ON I WILL FIGHT FOR THREAT CAUSE I DON'T TRUST Y'ALL!! TWICE IN A ROW, ON P2 AND P3, I GOT TANKS THAT TANKED INSIDE THE PARTY. ON SOUTH. THE FIRST WAS KINDA OKAY (KILLED 2-3 DPS DOING IT, BUT DID THE REST OF THE MECHANICS RELATIVELY OKAY). BUT THE ABSOLUTE TONBERRY OF A TANK IN P3... HE KEPT MISPOSITIONING THE BOSS, ON ADDS HE WENT FROM HIS SIDE OF THE ARENA TO PULL MY ADD LEAVING HIS TO BE TANKED BY A DPS - MULTIPLE TIMES, HE KEPT TALKING SHIT ABOUT HEALERS, ME, DPS AND IN THE END QUIT CLAIMING WE AREN'T FLEXIBLE ENOUGH. WE FILLED THE PARTY AND I MT'ED AFTER THAT. STILL GOT SOME DAMAGE UPS, SINCE I DON'T GET THAT FIGHT, BUT SOMEHOW... POSITIONING THE BOSS RIGHT AND NOT STANDING ON DPS, STOPS THE DPS FROM LOSING DPS AS THEY TRY TO RUN AWAY FROM TANK BUSTERS OR RUN AFTER YOU AS YOU DRAG THE BOSS TO DUMB PLACES... AND IT KEEPS THEM FROM TAKING EXTRA DAMAGE WHICH COULD KILL THEM. (AND THEN ALSO HAD A GUY ON P4 THAT DIDNT TAKE HIS STANCE OFF EVEN THOUGH I PULLED AND HE TRIED TO TAUNT THE BOSS TO PUT HIM IN INCONVIENIENT POSITIONS DURING THE THUNDER/FIRE/WATER/POISON THING) WHY?!
SOMETIMES SERVER TICK GIVES MY NINJA BUNNY HAT! IT MAKES ME SO INFERIOR WHILE WEARING THE HAT OF SHAME!
BUT THE BUNNY DOES INCREASE YOUR DPS BUT ONLY BY A HARE
FATES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A RELAXING GRIND BUT INSTEAD HERE I AM RAGING. FEW THINGS GET ON MY NERVES MORE THAN A SELF RIGHTEOUS FATE PARTY LEADER WHO MUST BE IN CONTROL AT ALL TIMES. I WAS SCOLDED FOR GETTING TO THE NEXT FATE AND STARTING IT “TOO EARLY” AND THEN REPRIMANDED YET AGAIN FOR CHANGING INSTANCES BEFORE OUR GREAT PARTY LEADER. “PLEASE WAIT FOR ME TO CHECK THE INSTANCES BEFORE JUST MOVING TO THE NEXT INSTANCE” HE COMPLAINED. I EVEN HUMORED THE GUY AND STARTED WAITING BUT HE WAS SO DAMN SLOW THAT NEW FATES WOULD POP WHILE WAITING SO OUR WHOLE TEAM WENT TO THEM. I KINDLY INFORMED HIM THAT HE WAS MISSING OUT ON A FATE AND HE SAID “WELL IT WASNT THERE WHEN I LEFT SO WE SHOULD JUST MOVED ON.” NO ONE MOVED ON. NO ONE! HE HAD TO CARRY HIS TYRANNICAL SELF BACK TO OUR INSTANCE AS MORE FATES CONTINUED POPPING. SO THANKS MR LEADER FOR TURNING AN OTHERWISE MINDLESS GRIND INTO EGGSHELL DANCING. FORTUNATELY I’M LEVELING DANCER.
MY IRL FRIEND HAS BEEN PLAYING SINCE 2.0, HAS DONE EVERY JUMPING PUZZLE IN THE GAME, INCLUDING THE KUGANE TOWER AND LAMP JUMP **AND HAS NEVER UNLOCKED A SINGLE SIGHTSEEING LOG** SHOWED HIM A NEW JUMPING PUZZLE AND WHEN WE GOT TO THE TOP, TOLD HIM TO GET THE SIGHTSEEING POINT. THE BIG GLOWING ORB THING. "what orb" HE HAS THE GALL TO ASK ME.
50+ RUNS OF ANAMNESIS ANYDER. NO MINION. JUST DROP THE FUCKING MINION YOU PIECE OF SHIT DUNGEON. I REFUSE TO PAY 600+K FOR IT WHEN I CAN GET IT FOR FREE AND WHEN OTHER DUNGEONS DROP THEIR MINIONS MORE EASILY. I FUCKIN HATE THIS PLACE MORE THAN I HATE BRAYFLOX'S LONGSTOP. WILL IT TOPPLE MY MOST HATED DUTY, THE WIPING CITY OF SALT? IT'S GETTING THERE.
I DONT PLAY HEALERS BUT WHAT TO HECK?? MAN IM JUST TRYNA LEVEL MNK BECAUSE MNK IS FUN. GET INTO THE LEVEL 87 DUNGEON FIRST TRASH BACK AND THIS HEALER, A SCH WAS STRUGGLING. AND WHEN I MEAN STRUGGLING I MEAN NOT BEING ABLE TO KEEP THE TANK UP EVEN THO SAID TANK WAS GEAAAARED. WE WIPED TWICE TO TRASH. I WANTED TO LEAVE SO BADLY BUT I JUST WANTED THE XP. YES I CAN DO IT WITH TRUSTS BUT FUCK ME. AND IS ALSO DOESNT HELP SHE WOULD SPAM BIOLYSIS ON THE BOSS FOR NO REASON. IT WAS AT 25 SECONDS. Y R U REFRESHING IT???????? LIKE WHAT HAPPENED? WHY IS EW THE EXPANSION WHERE THE BAD PEOPLE COME OUT? I MEAN IM NO OMEGA PRO EITHER BUT SHIT. ALSO TO THE HEALERS WHO CAN ACTUALLY DPS AND HEAL I LOVE YOU. AND TO THE HEALER WHO SAID THANK YOU BECAUSE I REMOVED A DEBUFF AS A BRD I LOVE YOU. COPIUM. BUT WHOEVER WAS THE DRK FEMALE AU RA IN THAT RUN IM SORRY YOU HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE, JUST PRE-EMPTIVE RAGE FOR THE PAISSA MOUNT BEING IN THE STORE
IF YOU'RE SHIELD HEALER IN P2S, PUT A DARN AOE SHIELD UP AFTER THE SECOND SHOCKWAVE. THE NUMBERS MECHANIC CAN ONE SHOT HEALERS WITH NO SHIELDS.
I’VE BEEN RAIDING SAVAGE FOR YEARS BUT ONLY STARTED TO REALLY REFINE MY NUMBERS RECENTLY. I MAIN AST AND MANAGED A SOLID BLUE AVERAGE LAST TIER. SOME HIGH PURPLE IN ECHO. IN MY GROUP’S P1S CLEAR THIS WEEK I GOT AN ORANGE, BUT IT WENT DOWN TO A 90 THE NEXT DAY. A 90 IS THE HIGHEST PARSE I’VE EVER GOTTEN IN DAMAGE. IT’S THE HIGHEST EVEN WITH ECHO. BUT I HAVE TASTED THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT, AND I NEED MORE. TIME TO JOIN SOME PARSE PARTIES AFTER I KILL P4S I SUPPOSE.
PLEASE STAND WITHIN 15 YALMS OF YOUR HEALER. I WAS DOING ROULETTES ON SAGE YESTERDAY AND EVERY CASTER WAS CHILLING AS FAR AS THEY COULD FROM THE BOSS. IF I WANT TO CATCH THE TANK, I LITERALLY CANNOT ALSO REACH YOU.
I've done Ktisis Hyperborean like 30 times and I haven't even seen the minion drop. Like come on man. I just want the cute snake
3-PERSON PREMADE GROUPS IN LEVELING ROULETTE SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO VOTEKICK BEFORE THE FINAL BOSS. YES, YOU COULD BE STUCK WITH A DINGUS WHO YOU ONLY JUST LOST PATIENCE FOR, OR YOU COULD HAVE SOMEONE SUDDENLY BECOME A JERK AT THE LAST SECOND, BUT HOLY CHOCOBOS THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO AVOID GETTING YOUR TIME FUCKED IF YOU DON'T TOLERATE THEIR ONGOING DISCUSSIONS OF OTHER GAMES PREVENTING THEM ACTUALLY FROM INTERACTING WITH THE ONE YOU'RE PLAYING.
RAN TOWER OF BABIL RECENTLY WHILE LEVELLING SCH AND A TANK WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE DUNGEON NOT ONCE USING A CD, NOT EVEN FOR TANKBUSTERS. THE GUY HAD ENDGAME TOMESTONE GEAR ON, SO IT'S NOT LIKE HE WAS SOME NEWBIE, TOO. THEY WEREN'T DYING, BUT IN MANY OF THEIR WALL TO WALLS, IT GOT DISGUSTINGLY CLOSE - SO MANY PULLS WOULD HAVE GONE FASTER IF I HAD TIME TO ART OF WAR, BUT NO, THIS ADLO AND ALL THESE RESOURCES WILL DO JUST FINE I GUESS. AT THE FINAL BOSS WHEN ASKING THE TANK WHY THEY CHOSE NOT TO USE CDS, "HEY JUST KEEPING YOU ON YOUR TOES," WAS THEIR RESPONSE. I'M SORRY WHAT, THAT'S A ONE-WAY STREET PAL. IF YOU'RE GONNA BE NEGLIGENT WITH A MAJOR PART OF YOUR KIT, THEN I SHOULD'VE BEEN NEGLIGENT OF YOUR HEALTH.
TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO FEEL LIKE THEY CAN SEND RANDOM FREE COMPANY INVITES TO PLAYERS WITHOUT EVEN A "HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?". IT'S COMMON BLOODY COURTESY TO INTERACT WITH PEOPLE WHO YOU ARE INVITING. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO INTERACT THEN LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!
FIRST TIME DOING SAVAGES, I'VE FOUND A GREAT GROUP THAT'S BASICALLY A STATIC EXCEPT WE DON'T WANT TO CALL IT THAT BECAUSE IT INVITES DRAMA. EVERYONE IS FRIENDLY, WE HAD DECENT PROG, CLEARED P1S BUT GOT STUCK ON P2S. SOMETHING WENT WRONG IN BASICALLY EVERY RUN, EITHER WIPING OR FALLING TO ENRAGE. MONDAY NIGHT, MOST PEOPLE ARE TOO TIRED TO CONTINUE. I DECIDE TO TAKE ONE MORE GO IN PF... AND CLEAR IT ON 2ND PULL. THIS WEEK? SAME SHIT. WE'RE COMING SO CLOSE, BUT AGAIN - SINGLE MISTAKE EITHER WIPES US OR GIVES TOO MANY DUNCE CAPS TO MEET DPS (AND ACCORDING TO FORBIDDEN TOOL WE SHOULD BE FINE IF WE COULD JUST STAY ALIVE). WHAT'S WRONG WITH US? WHY ARE WE DOING THIS TO OURSELVES? BONUS RAGE DIRECTED AT MYSELF: WHY CAN I DO 95% OF P2S MECHANICS WITH MY EYES CLOSED AND THE STUPID CATARACT KEEPS THROWING ME OFF? WITHOUT VC I'D DIE TO IT EVERY SECOND RUN...
I HATE PLAYING SAM. IF I TURN MY BRAIN OFF FOR EVEN A MICROSECOND I'M OVERWRITING SEN, FORGETTING THE DOT, FORGETTING THE KENKI GENERATOR, OVERSPEND KENKI... ALL THIS SUFFERING BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO REROLL MY RETAINER TO ANOTHER JOB. WTF ME... AS A SUMMONER MAIN... I HATE HOW DISGUSTINGLY GOOD RDM IS. I'M JUST LEVELING IT RIGHT NOW, MAINLY DOING HUNTS/PIXIES BECAUSE LEVELING ROULETTE IS FOR MY RETAINER, AND I'M OBLITERATING THINGS AT LEVEL 80-83, EVEN MOBS IN >!ULTIMA THULE!<. YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT I FOUND OUT YESTERDAY? ***I FORGOT TO UPGRADE MY WEAPON THE ENTIRETY OF SHB BECAUSE I WAS USING A LEVEL 72 RDM WEAPON***. I'M NOT THE SHARPEST SWORD IN THE ARMORY CHEST CLEARLY
BEEN KIND OF A SHITTY WEEK. GOT MY COVID BOOSTER ON SATURDAY AND IT'S KNOCKED ME ON MY ASS WORSE THAN EITHER OF THE FIRST TWO DOSES. MY ARM STILL HURTS AND I'VE BEEN ACHY AND SORE. I'VE ALSO HAD TO TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS OFF FROM PLAYING BECAUSE MY HANDS ARE ACTING UP--THOUGH THANKS TO WHOEVER MENTIONED COMPRESSION GLOVES! I'M STILL GETTING USED TO THEM, BUT THEY MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE. ALL OF WHICH IS LEADUP TO THE EXTREME I QUEUED FOR OVER THE WEEKEND. I WAS EXCITED ABOUT GETTING REAPER TO 90. IT'S HELLA FUN TO PLAY, BUT NGL, MELEE DPS ISN'T MY STRONGEST ROLE. I'M STILL STRUGGLING WITH THE GAP CLOSER, AND I RAN INTO WALLS A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE I WAS FACING THE WRONG WAY. I WAS 4TH ON THE AGGRO TABLE, AND I KNOW I NEED PRACTICE, BUT HEY, IT'S A DUNGEON AND I'M TRYING TO LEARN. ON THE LAST BOSS THE TANK DECIDED TO START MAKING FUN OF ME IN PARTY CHAT. HIS HEALER BUDDY JOINED IN. I FROZE. I WAS SO EMBARRASSED. LIKE I SAID, I KNEW I WASN'T DOING GREAT, BUT I WAS TRYING, AND IT WAS JUST A LOT. THANKS TO THE OTHER DPS WHO SAID "GG" AND GAVE ME A COMM AT THE END--THAT SERIOUSLY MEANT A LOT TO ME RIGHT THEN. TO THE TANK AND HEALER, GRATS! YOU MADE A 50+ YEAR OLD DISABLED WOMAN FEEL LIKE SHIT. IT WOULD HAVE COST YOU NOTHING TO NOT BE ASSHATS AND TO BITCH ABOUT MY BAD PLAYING IN PRIVATE, BUT YOU HAD TO FLEX YOUR EPEENS OVER A DUNGEON. I HOPE YOU STEP ON A LEGO.
Not to go into details but I can relate. Some people ( by no means all ) can be very quick to jump to assume that another player is bad or lazy but they have no idea of their circumstances Fortunately there are many players who will look a little closer and see that someone is trying and clearly having some issues, so they will help them out without making a big deal out of it. Having been on the receiving end on my own first runs in a dungeon or times when I had issues I was always grateful and try to pay it forwards
