RE: The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales - Kage - 02-22-2017 (02-22-2017, 11:06 AM)Tyndles Wrote: Final boss of Sohm Al Hard.Reminds me of a run I had last night. Tank doesn't move Scorpion so now it's right on top of the lava pool and I can barely get off monk positionals. "pls move it" Tank dodges and now places scorpion in a way where I can only hit its face. Meanwhile, this giant lava pool keeps growing in the middle of the arena because it targeted the Tank and the tank didn't move from the center. In the end, giant lava pools were everywhere. I could only hit the scorpion from its face because I had aggro when WHM and Tank died. To lava. Party: whew. great save. nice. me: :/ Voice in head: This would have gone so much better if the tank could actually position the boss without having people set off lava everywhere.

I screwed up and I could've been paying more attention. When I say auto pilot though I don't mean I was doing something like "see thing, attack thing" without waiting for the tank. The whole mishap didn't even happen until the tank was at least halfway to the boss. Honestly, I don't know if it was the crown that made them feel like they could police people or the fact that they were the healer. I'm more inclined to believe it was the latter and at the very least their seniority helped develop this mentality. All that aside anyone want to hear another fun story about healers thinking they can police people? This one's shorter and second hand. Boyfriend queues up for mentor roulette, as a tank, while I can't play with him. Gets dropped into an in progress party. Either asks or is informed why the last tank left. Apparently, the tank either didn't wait for Protect or ran out of range for it so the healer let the tank die. The tank quit after that. I know from experience that that's annoying (I have even sassed my boyfriend for doing that) but you're really going to drop your righteous healer judgement over a single friggin' Protect?

RE: The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales - Parvacake - 02-23-2017 That moment when you want to level up alts because you want them to be pretty. But then you remember the MSQ. 'No thanks, I'd rather be stuck in the hempen set forever'. RE: The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales - Shofie - 02-26-2017 I was tanking a low-level dungeon awhile ago with two bards in it, and a non-DPSing healer. Bard 1 was playing Foe the whole time. Bard 2 was playing Mage's Ballad so the first bard could "play Foe longer".

I'm so hyped for jump potions. I will pay good money to skip the MSQ. Not that it's bad but..Two times were enough.

I'm on alt #3 of 10 through the 2.0 MSQ and it's taking me weeks to do the Coerthas Central section of the MSQ. Especially because I know the bit after this is just as boring and tedious. >< RE: The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales - Parvacake - 02-26-2017 (02-26-2017, 07:18 PM)Kilieit Wrote:That's me atm with my third high alt that's like...51? Doing the 2.0 MSQ after the Garlean bit and it's just the long drag between Min's mom and the crystal braves up until Ishgard.

I'm going to show my ignorance here, but isn't that a good use of teamwork? Whenever my Bard has been in a party with another Bard they were never interested in coordinating songs.

Foe Requiem is only useful if you have a mage. It's otherwise completely useless because it lowers magic resistance. And Mage's Ballad reduces that Bard's physical power by 10%, which reduces overall damage dealt while wasting their MP. ...if the healer was outputting some really food DPS, then it coulda been worth it. ...even just having their DoTs up would make it useful. RE: The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales - Saravahn - 03-24-2017 To the healer that threw a hissy fit because they got locked out of the second boss of Dun Scaith because I "pulled early" after standing around for thirty seconds then decided to not heal me for the remainder of the raid:   ![]() (A pocket healer for a wife solves everything.) RE: The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales - Saravahn - 04-04-2017 To the tanks that insist on keeping the Lava Scorpion's ass (or entire body) in the lava void zones... go die in a hole. Also, if you're losing threat constantly and end up not tanking the first two bosses for at least 75% of their health... that might be a clue that you're in the wrong stance. Also, just because you then figure it out and switch to Shield Oath... that doesn't mean stop flashing when there's more than two mobs.

I actually feel bad when I'm tanking that thing and I'm TRYING to move it out of the lava void zones and it just wants to... chill in it for a while and do all its AoE moves first.
