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

[Kiarax]

I wish I could pin this one on me missing that, but unfortunately this is just a real shitty FATE that almost never pops! I'm scared to even go grab a snack or drink because I don't want to miss this shit, what has my life become.

[Lyall]

Which one is it? There's basically one shitty FATE in almost every draw. The ones that immediately spring to mind are Tower of Power, Seps and Heroes of the Some Number In the Fucking Desert.

[Kiarax]

Yeah it's Seps, I didn't think it could get worse but I'm glad I have things to look forward to going forward. I thought trying to slog through 75 alex would be rough but I will take endless dungeon grinding over this shit any day.

Edit: Cool, finally popped and 2 guys killed it within 30 seconds of it popping, didn't get gold, almost 3 hours wasted. Fuck this game lmfao.

[Kaisha]

Still need to meet iLvl requirement to enter as a pre-made.


And fuck Seps. Took me five hours of thumb up my ass for him to spawn before the FATE adjustments update.

I TRIED TO WARN YOU, OH GOD!
Sorry dude, hopefully you get it soon.

[Elcura]

Just another reason I will never ever get a relic. That, and a stable coil group. Hopefully with 2.45 it'll be easier for people to get HA/DW/equivalent weapons from raids.

[Kiarax]

Spoiler: show

Game can still suck a fat one.

[Raldo]

So weird to hear people complain about Seps. I've done the book with Seps in it 3 times now and never had an issue with it. I must just be getting lucky.

[Arthars]

for sep, you have to be camping on it and tag it on the get-go

if not, you can never make it

[layoneil]

seems like someone is shouting to hold Giant Seps every other day i'm in Coerthas doing Ixal Dailies.

[Raldo]

I just sit over there and burn GC leves while I wait (someday I'll get that 500 GC-leve wrist achievement), but I can see how that's not ideal for everyone.

[lolwut]

I've just been crafting spiritbond gear while I wait for fates to pop, then wearing it through the book dungeons. It slightly lowers the horrible grind of both activities.

LS #7: THIRD REICH


u wot m8?

[Pruviant]

People that couldn't pass turn 6 before the super-nerf wanting to do it these weird and different ways. It ain't broke, this is toddler mode now ... just LoS like everyone else and quit arguing with people with tons of clears.

[Sephiroth]

So our tank just got blackmailed into leaving our static for my former FC and he gave in, despite promising us on Tuesday he wouldn't do that if they asked. He tried to do it last week but apparently changed his mind so we let him back in after his replacement was shit. He made us give him the item from T11 to upgrade his shield and now does this. Clearly only joined for that item. Shitty person is shit.

One could say we should have learned our lesson the first time, and I agree. But we got desperate I guess. The tank we originally replaced him with didn't even survive an hour before we had to get rid. In the end we all did make progress with the douchebag so it wasn't a terrible thing. Just means finding another good PLD, which is difficult. But we have one in mind.

[Arthars]

tank in final coil has very minimal roles except the usual "holding adds and switch at right time" bullshit

at least you didnt lose your healer

im sure you can rep a tank like real easy

[Sephiroth]

So you'd think. The tank we trialed on Tuesday before letting that guy back in couldn't even get us past T10 first phase adds because he couldn't deal with them properly. When we got our old tank back we entered and one shot it. There's a big difference between a good tank and a poor one. But yeah we're going to trial a replacement on T9 tonight I hope. Hate all this static bullshit, needs to be gone in 3.0 with FCs given a greater purpose than food buffs.

[Grey Jorildyn]

lol@you if you think it doesn't make a difference who is tanking or that the role of tanks is "very minimal". Sounds like something a dps would say. It may not be brain surgery but it has a purpose that is equally as important as everyone else's role and then-some.

i did T10 11 12 on my tank mule, granted not 1 shot, but within the allocated instance time

this is coming from someone who main DPS this patch but main tank before this patch

i can say DPS is more "busy". T12 for example, is braindead. unless your all gungho trying to dodge normal attacks, which is totally unnecessary. T13 took me a while tho

for T10, you can overpower the shit out of the adds and just switch at right time before charge,. that is all you need to learn.....

if your having DPS issues then thats another story. get some rubies i guess

for MT idk.... prolly just finding a right CD rotation and your golden? ST always been busier i feel

[Dammerung]

Princess shit tanks in guildhests. Get so offended when I just run and attack level 15 mobs, stand there and lecture me about it then refuse to do anything the rest of the run.
