The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales

[Kage]

Manderville train don't stop. Can't stop. Won't stop.

 

Tanks who bitch in QARN story mode. Yeah. It's my BRD's low level roulette. It's also this WHM's. If you aren't going to do your job cause you're lvl 35 wearing < 30 DoW gear and not GLA/PLD gear with a i30 weapon and no fucking accessories, don't be bitching and use your fucking cool downs and Flash. Also, fuck you for having like 600 less HP than an avg tank would and bitching about not getting regen. You're getting it, I see the WHm put it on you. Start fucking flashing because you can't keep them off the WHM WHO PUT REGEN ON YOU LIKE YOU'RE BITCHING ABOUT NOT GETTING. Also, never fucking say "adapt bra" to me or your party, especially the person even remotely keeping you alive.

 

/p "Adapt to no heals... bra"

/wait 1

/enjoy tank rage quit

Sorta what happened. The whm wasn't the greatest (STOP SPAMMING CURE II AFTER DOING REGEN....) but on the second boss, the tank couldn't tank. I took aggro even after waiting a whole combo cycle! and the tank took 1 cleave and dropped to < 100HP.

 

Yeah.

 

Then a tank with their novus appeared and it was cakewalk.

 

Also, BRD in level sync from 43 vs DRG in level sync from 50 with a zenith? novus? one of the glowy gaybogs. BRD wins in aggro and must kite. >.> Cause loldrg deaths too

Wow, people still actually use the term "bra" in normal speaking? O_o

I prefer "Broseidon, Ruler of the Brocean." Or "Brometheus." And someone else used "Rambro," which amused me.

Doesnt the second boss on Qarn story mode drop his aggro table after a bit anyway? I have memories of where I am its target but it doing cleaves and other attacks on the other members.

[Warren Castille]

Less aggro-dropping and more target-focusing. He picks someone at random for his pistol barrage and I think he swings at random for the stun prior to that. Pain in the ass when he charges down a healer standing at max-cast range for some reason.

 

OH. VENT POST.

 

Healers/casters, why do you stand sixty feet away from the enemies? If they don't cleave, there's little reason to be that far away.

This irks me far more than it probably should when I'm healing as SCH. I like to stay close to the fray so my Succor can hit everyone, and I get really annoyed when that one BLM or what have you decides that standing WAAAAY on the other side of the arena is the thing to do.

 

I keep having to move and reposition so I can hit everyone with my mediocre AoE healing spell, or to make sure that my Fairy is in range to heal them. It gets annoying quick if they keep doing it.

He targets a random player for his sandwall column thing similar to first boss of qarn hm. He also targets another to punch and stun them. But otherwise should be on tank.

 

When tank died I had agro. Sorry drg, but if I'm going to be taking hard hits and you're -last- on the table, I'm not going to stand in front of it and take my shots like a tank. Cause I'm not a tank. For this run

Qarn story doesnt have a pistol weilding second bosss... its a golem..

To be fair it is sorta the same bar the Qarn Golem gemstone.

He throws up a column cleave almost and he straight up punches someone in the face forcing a knockback and stun

Bleh. Mistook Qarn Story for Sastasha Hard.

 

My brain just filters them all into NOT SNOWCLOAK NEVER SNOWCLOAK for my expert roulettes.

I like Snowcloak. The music's so chill and I rarely have issues blowing through it except when the DPS refuses to deal with the bombs on the first boss.

 

... Though I had one run where the healer kept standing in the Yeti's breath and getting herself frozen in place.

[Warren Castille]

Snowcloak might be my favorite dungeon in the game so far. It's just... great.

[Kage]

I don't like snowcloack because it seems like things hit hard there when everyone wants to pull all the mobs so it's annoying to heal.

 

Also, STUN THE HARRIERS IF YOU PULL THE WHOLE ROOM GDI

I only find the first few enemies before the wolves hit harder than I expect them to.

 

No no, the ones that always shock me by how hard they hit are the pirate groups in the last room of Satasha hard mode. I can usually manage healing one group just fine, but something about adding a second group turns a manageable fight into "OH GOD, WHERE'D YOUR HEALTH GO!?"

BroForce. Because you asked for it.

WHILE SHOOTING THE ENTIRE TIME, WITH COOLDOWNS BURNING. BECAUSE LOBAHAWK IS A 700 POTENCY ATTACK.

[Sounsyy]

 

This. I just let BRD take it honestly. I have a strict no-chase tank policy. If a voke+tomahawk doesn't bring it back to me, it's all yours. That was your one reprieve and you done messed up.

 

Healers/casters, why do you stand sixty feet away from the enemies? If they don't cleave, there's little reason to be that far away.

 

THIS. Why?? If the mob doesn't circle AoE, I'm up on that enemy's butt no matter what class I am. Healer, BRD, other. If I take hate, all the mob does is turn around and tank can smack it right back. And I can use all my close range instant abilities like Repelling Shot or Miasma II or whatever and never ever move. Range just makes no sense if you're not in danger being near tank.

 

Also, STUN THE HARRIERS IF YOU PULL THE WHOLE ROOM GDI

 

THIS! OMG. NO DONT RUN AHEAD OF ME AND PULL SECOND GROUP YOU IDIOT. I'M A WARRIOR I ONLY HAVE 1 STUN EVERY 20s!!!! NO I CANT GET THAT SECOND HARRIER IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET IT! Ugh there he goes... Aevis x4 is not fun...

[Gegenji]

Ugh there he goes... Aevis x4 is not fun...

 

Especially as a SCH. I'm basically relegated to hammering the Succor button and hoping I don't run out of MP before everything's dead.

I apologize. I can only Storm's Path so many Aevis (realistically... 1) before that AoE goes off... ; ; I try so hard.

Ah, don't worry. Gogon's got mad skillz, and I've been making a habit of dropping a Sacred Soil if that fourth Aevis pops up. It's actually not too bad... but I kinda like trying to help out by dropping a Shadow Flare and a Miasma II, and being stuck just spamming one move over and over again as a result is... meh-inducing, I suppose.

Yep. I can only use Whispering + Covenant? and Succor so much. Also sacred soil is only just long enough when you do that with not so decent aoe players

 

Also, wry you pull like dat when I has no aetherflow stacks T_T;

[Nebbs]

Dear tank, why did you run off before I cast protect?

..Also, why did you pull everything upto the polar bear?

.... Then not use some of your awesome/ CDs?

...... And then why did you quit when asked to wait until healer finished casting prots?

[Kou]

Ugh.

Squeenix.

You're killing me here.

My internet is perfectly fine. It is so fine, in fact, that I can play other games while my family insists on streaming Netflix.

Something on your side is very decidedly not.

I pay a sub fee to play a game, not to facedesk as I get hit with lag spike after lag spike after lag spike while there's literally nothing else BUT FFXIV clogging up my bandwidth. ;-;

(Even my patience has limits.)

Anyone else getting "The lobby center has encountered an error"? servers y u do dis T-T
