FFXIV Random Complaint Thread II: DPS can't count to potato

[Corrderio]

Funny, that was my first. All I really need for my NIN from World of Dumbfuckery are the hands and I'm good. Body/Legs really don't interest me. After that I just whore my PLD in Demon gear I guess.

Anyway, I think my BLM is magnet for horribad DFing. First run I had was Brayflox in progress. When I got there everyone was gone but a 33 MRD (Not WAR) and was wearing mage gear on his right side. Fact everyone but him bailed was an indication for me to get the fuck out of there. 2nd run was in Cutters Cry where we wiped 3 times on first boss because the healer couldn't kite. Booted him then waited ~10 minutes before voting to abandon.

This last 2-3 weeks has been awful failed a AK hard, out dps'd the drg and blm in tanking gear as war (healer was terrible was crit healing me for 1.5)

Not really random complaint, more like random sadness. Logged into Guildwork for the first time in forever and felt sad about all the XI players I used to play with that I no longer do and I don't really have any way of contacting them.

I went through that a month ago. I actually ended up in a guild heist with Legend from Cerberus server. He was in a completeing LS in 11 and later we formed to have enough RNGs for Delve. I didn't realize it was him until the duty ended and then I had zero way to contact him.

I occasionally see some of those guys on Skype, but end up feeling like we wouldn't have much to talk about after the initial small talk.

Getting Keeper of the Lake for EVERY expert roulette. HATE.

+1 on the KoTL hate club!

Why it's the easiest and fastest one imo

[Intense]

In my experience, DF people suck at the 1st boss; I deal with at least 1 wipe each time I go in. Also, they take forever to kill the trash mobs in between 1st and 2nd boss. It's mind boggling.

Other than that, its just not my favorite aesthetically. I prefer the look and sound of WP HM :D

[octopus]

the wipe ratio is far higher at KoTL compared to the other two in my DF experience lol, and AK/WP are very easy too.

How's it feel to have shit taste in dungeons

i've never won AKHM without at least 1 or 2 wipes

It only takes one person not paying attention for either the first (standing in a pile of bombs) and second (herpderping when targeted) bosses to screw over the party in KotL, and worse there's not really much you can do about it. AKHM runs into issues if you have low enough DPS, but I think the party DPS checks are something like 300-500DPS. It takes a lotta bad to fail any but maybe Demon Wall.

WPHM is easy unless everyone's terrible. I did a FC run as a i93 DRG, with two tanks and a half-AFK healer, cause we were bored, and still made it through. As long as the tank and one other person pays attention, you're set.

My expert roulettes the past like 2 weeks have been awesome, i always queue as war or pld. Usually end up speed running, big pulls, no problems.

Trial roulettes on the other hand have been the shittiest shit in the past 2 weeks.

[Kiarax]

Never had issues with any roulettes as tank, I ask healer if they're comfortable with big pulls, if they are I just go as big as I think DPS can handle (well, the new dungeons are all just pulling until you hit a dang door), if they're not we just take it easy and its no issue. If running with friends lately we've just been running 3x NIN 1x SCH for fun, winded up being faster and a lot more fun than me going on WAR.

Always have people falling in akhm final boss

[Niiro]

People ignore the adds during second boss and they go to town smacking people and the fat one inevitably explodes.

I actually thought AKHM was the easiest out of the 3 ;o most of the time we clear it with no issues /shrug

Pretty much this. KotL is easy too, though I feel there is an element of luck on the first boss in a sense depending on where the large canisters land.

[The Stig]

For first boss just point the boss at the cans. Its flamethrowers will ignite them.

Early ignition will ensure no chain explosions (of the big cans) later.

Extra points if dps/healers stand on top of them so the random line attack/aoe move targets the can.

This, why don't more tanks do this? Freaking derps.
