I had an amazing group today for Hauke manor, The healer talked to the tank, the tank talked to the healer, they both talked to the DPS and the DPS stayed on point and talked to the Healer and tank. It barely felt like a dungeon with all that teamwork going on.
Also, I will be going SCH route, so if there are any healers out there that have tips for me, or tanks I might be healing in the future that have requests, please just speak up. I don't mind critique(so long as it is constructive) it builds to better playing in the future when done right. I have done some off healing(or replacement healing in some instances as ACN) but I'm sure I still have plenty to learn as the main healer.
The game is very fair in its difficulty. It punishes mistakes and parties that can't work as a team. As I noted in my previous post, the thing that makes speedruns work is that everyone is on the ball, communicating and importantly, not blaming each other for wipes.
It's not even a thing about good and bad players really. While, if given the choices between a good player, or a bad player with the right attitude, I would invite a good player to a party, likely suceed and never talk to them again. However, I would take the bad player with the right attitude into a linkshell as a more long term thing. You can help someone that is bad but has the right mentality to learn how to play thier class and the game over time.
I have one more, very important rule with dungeons, raid especially too:
If someone is yelling, particularly on voice chat, don't assume that they are automatically mad.
Raids are frantic and can be stressful. People yell out orders and instructions without really thinking and it can be easy to mistake it for actual anger or hostility. Sometimes you need communication to be very clear, sometimes it might be something yelled out because it happened so suddenly. Sometimes it might be that you just need to help that person calm down a little. Sometimes people use all caps in chat mid-battle because it's more noticable. It can be easy to mistake stuff like this for people yelling at you personally.
