C'kayah Polaali Posted January 3, 2015 Share #326 Posted January 3, 2015 And clearly, as a White Mage, if I see some DD repeatedly grabbing aggro, why they must be so good they don't need healing, too! Time for Cleric Stance and applying some sweet, sweet* DPS! *We're talking 4 or more DPS, baby! Link to comment

LMAO well clearly if DPS are taking hate off Tank, Tank isn't taking as much damage and therefor as healer I can nuke. ^^ Mmmmm. On the serious side, sometimes as BRD I am guilty of unintentionally ripping hate in things like ST... but mainly because Quelling Strikes just doesn't have enough negative enmity. <3 At least when I BRD tank tho I don't run all over the damn place. I stay right where I am and burn that thing down like a pro before it kills me cuz I know no sane healer is gonna heal me for my crimes against humanity. Link to comment

Delilah Scythewood Posted January 3, 2015 Share #330 Posted January 3, 2015 To the jackass troll spamming my RP the other night, You were just sooooo fucking amusing. No, seriously. Photobombing all the screenshots I was trying to take for AND HOUR AND A HALF and making me miss most of the awesome lighting I had. Out of all of it, I only snagged one good one but it was a singular picture. You still suck Mr. Ridiculous-Name-I-Can't-Spell. -Lili Link to comment

You probably won't take it back once I have it. I go into Last Stand mode and try to burn it down before it kills me... (im terrible DD, should stick to tanking...) Link to comment

I do that too to avoid the healers to die as it's clear that you need 3 tanks on the boss and 0 on the adds. Maybe they are comparing the size of their e-peen, hidden by the gian dragon ? What I'm sure about is their aggro is all but effective when it comes to help the healers to survive. Link to comment

I've had to tank and properly position multiple Squires during Labolas fight as BRD because multiple Tanks are killing themselves trying to get hate on Labolas who, during that phase reflects all damage/effects and is bound to the center of the arena and ignores hate anyways... BECAUSE INTELLIGENCE! Link to comment

BECAUSE INTELLIGENCE! Oh yes, Squires. Like, when we get to that phase I pan my cam to look behind me so I can go as soon as possible, and even then, I only tomahawk when I'm within range of him not breaking link once he rushes me as I'm positioning him. Our squire's done, and then I see the other alliance's squire just running around like nobody can break its stride. I facepalm terribly. And less said about Kum Kums, the better. I still facepalm when I see tanks without top threat on Amon ignore the Kum Kum that didn't spawn in their group. What, you think the dude that's keeping Amon there is gonna go and aggro it? You should have rushed over there ya nitwit and kept it there so people who get the Miniball don't have to move and it gets mini'd instead. Link to comment
Kage Posted January 3, 2015 Share #335 Posted January 3, 2015 Squires: Tank is not there? Healer has Aggro? Kage will BLM Bomb and manawall, hoping the healer knows it's better to have a DD get face whacked than a Healer. If Kage is SCH, Kage will face tank Squire in right spot as well while keeping herself up and fuck the tank. Because fuck the tank. Same with all other adds. I would rather have adds on me the DD than on the healer. Link to comment
Kellach Woods Posted January 3, 2015 Share #336 Posted January 3, 2015 Yo guys haven't you heard the new Halatali regular strat? Ignore the Winches they're totally unnecessary for dungeon progression! Also ignore the two twits telling you that you need to pull them they obviously don't know what they're talking about.

Tank should say, "Well any DPS what to run off and solo go now, while me and the healer bring up the rear. Or, here is a novel idea, just do it sensibly and we all win." Seriously, crazy stunts that work 20% of the time take more time than sensible ones. Link to comment

PkThunda Posted January 3, 2015 Share #339 Posted January 3, 2015 Why do people assume that I am raging at my computer when I tell them to stop doing a thing? There was a Lala archer in Sastasha that would not stop jumping around and pulling everything, so I stopped healing them. Here's what happened. http://oi57.tinypic.com/9kwn4y.jpg[/img] He then proceeded to say I should not hate him because I am not him, as well as that I needed numbing lube for the butt hurt I was clearly suffering. He died a second time when he refused to hit the gates at the last boss, and proceeded to just spam "REZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" in party chat. He did not get one. Link to comment
Perth Posted January 3, 2015 Share #340 Posted January 3, 2015 I just tanked all of Ifrit as an Archer (only level 29) because... goodness knows what the tank was doing. Was fun at least in that it was different I guess, feel bad for the healer who had to deal with the unconventionality of it all. Edit: I guess I kept this rather short and neutral when this is a vent thread after all! It was frustrating and I even asked if the tank was afk, but then looked over to see him out of MP. Guess he wasn't using enough Riot Blade to be able to use MP abilities like Flash or Provoke, but dang... was pretty frustrating until we got past nail and I was still alive because the healer was keeping me up. At that point I was like "Wellp, no point in crying now" Link to comment
Gegenji Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share #341 Posted January 3, 2015 P... Provoke doesn't use MP. And you shouldn't need to Flash on single target. There's a single target combo rotation you use instead. 1 Link to comment

Jana Posted January 4, 2015 Share #344 Posted January 4, 2015 A lot of shitter lowbie GLDs see Riot Blade's higher damage and think it's the go-to DPS combo. To be fair, Rage of Halone is level 26 and I think story mode Ifrit is 20? But they won't be keeping aggro without the usual Fast Blade -> Savage Blade combo anyway. Some people just need to have their jobs hammered into them. Link to comment

Dravus Posted January 4, 2015 Share #347 Posted January 4, 2015 The incorrect use of the terms 'troll' and 'elitist'. As with many words they're overused in online discussion to the point where they've lost much of their original meaning. Link to comment
Aduu Avagnar Posted January 4, 2015 Share #348 Posted January 4, 2015 not really much of a Vent, but aaaargh, coming up with a Splash Page for the Yatagahn Trading Consortium is annoying, I have writers block for the first time since starting. Link to comment
Steel Wolf Posted January 5, 2015 Share #349 Posted January 5, 2015 As I was leveling Cliaux, I dropped into a guildhest queue. I think either our healer was attempting to troll us or he forgot he was wearing robes, because he was running about drawing in all the enemies. Luckily, his plan failed as we all burned things down without a fall. Matter of fact, I'm pretty sure he/she was trolling, as shortly after it was seen that the plan wasn't going to work, they decided to actually cast a heal or two. Link to comment
