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

[Bigsyke]

After five hours of trying to get my pedal from A2 and 3 hours of constant wiping I am almost at the point where I'm willing to drop a party as soon as I see a PLD. All of the groups had good DPS but then an inbred PLD would fuck it up either by tunnel visioning one add or blaming Hallowed Ground delay.

2.15,2.25.2.35.2.45 and now 3.05 all end up with FFXI discussions lol.

This is 3.01 plz

[Niiro]

Get Sastasha for low level roulette.

AST complains that they only have 1 button to press.

I mention they have nukes.

Proceeds to stand around staring at nothing and occasionally casting Benefic.

Regression my friend, regression.

Just had a godawful Aery. Shield Oath and full defensive mode like every pull (pulling the minimum every pull, not mass) and I was still half dead every pull. Eventually died to the second last pull from slowly being pew pewed down with no heals with everything on CD.

Then I learned that Nidhogg actually has a rage timer. Like I knew you had to clear the adds in time or you got one shot. I didn't know there was another rage timer after that where he flies off and one shots you all.

In what situation does a paladin need hallowed ground in a2 at all

When they tunnelvision the same mob type that gives the dmg+ debuff like a tard between waves and then start getting murdered.

Get to a unspoiled node and right as I hit the node, someone brings a mob and its AoE knocks myself(and 8 others) off the node.....

Back to waiting for it to pop again

I still have no Alexander win in my groups. I do not think I will get my item of the week.

I thought they fixed this? I haven't been AoE'd out of fishing in a long time.

Only if you're in stealth mode. If you're visible, you're eating that AoE.

Well I missed loot on A4 this week...bad luck, late runs, low win rate in DF, etc... disappointing. Also, the biggest thing I learned from Alexander so far is how few people know how to spell "quarantine".

[Obsidian]

They should just rename High Level Roulette to "Sastasha HM with random party members."

[Kaisha]

I've been getting a lot of AK vanilla and AKHM from mine.

Spoiler: show

And the tanks are afraid to do big pulls every time.

The worst is when you do low-lvl, and you're all in Sastasha normal, but everyone in the party is 30+.

[BadKarma]

Fuck you guys. I've gotten aurum vale the last 5 fucking days

[Silenka]

If you don't get Haukke 90% of the time for low lv I want to know your secret

in a good group the fights are easy but i used DF and its mindblowing how bad people can be. like really fucking bad and i dont understand how people can be that bad. i mean i know its DF but come on those fights arent even on old Ex promal fights level. the only one comeing close being alex turn 4, but for anyone that dealt with unnerfed coil its a cake walk.

Qarn. Always Qarn. I'm also really fucking bad at getting out of Caudal Swipe, I don't know why and that shit can 1-shot you as a healer at those levels.

[Elcura]

Maybe you just get the dungeon you hate the most. If I'm on MNK and get Satasha HM just fucking end me.

Yeah, why I enjoy DF on the JP server compared to NA largely. Tried on my Sarga alt and man..how can you fail basic mechanics after being told what to do 10 times? Literally, 10 times. I understand people love to "play their way its muh $12+!" but good god doesn't mean you need to suck horrendously on such easy content.

Especially Turn/Floor/A2/Whatever which is only a glorified trash pull.

[Jem]

I really think a lot of these people could be shame into being better if there was some sort of performance indicator at the end of dungeons (DPS / Damage Taken / Etc.). I think most of them are oblivious to just how bad they are and just how large the gap is so don't think the problem is with them.
