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

[Raldo]

Dare I ask why you hate doing NIN in dungeons? Maybe it's my current Lv60 job selection (WAR/BRD/NIN), but I find it to be the most enjoyable, especially since it lets me deal with retarded tanks with my hate tools.

[Niiro]

AoEing is a lot of trouble compared other jobs.

Also pull -> I move into position and activate Hide -> just as I'm doing this the tank decides the mobs would look nicer facing the other direction, or 50 feet away, or they didn't use Flash soon enough and the mob I was targeting makes a beeline for the healer

etc.

Similar to what happens when going on MCH on my alt, I drop Bishop and the tank moves everything, especially if I just used Overcharge.

If it's a boss and I just dropped Rook and used OC they decide to face the boss directly at it so it gets cleaved to death.

There is a hell, and it is fishing.

I've got 490 Gathering, 97 points over the common required cap any of these 2.5 fish. I've lost 4/4 Namitaro, 3/3 Helicorpions, 2/2 Shonis, and 2/3 Nepto Dragons. I can understand having some risk of loss even at higher gear, but seriously this is ridiculous. The folk who ran these before 3.0 (and especially before Patience) have all of my sympathy.

[Raldo]

Yeah, there definitely seems like something FISHY is going on. 0/3 on Ninja Betta since hitting 60.

[Taint]

The success rates seem fixed IMO.

You either have enough gathering or not to land the fish, then its RNG for success.

[Twilight Sky]

I'm guessing that ended quickly and badly when the two serpent adds got tethered and buffed. (Or is that only on Extreme?)

No, the healer was counting on the other healer to not be bad and kite the other add.

Edit: also with 3 DPS dead, there is no way I can burn the first add down by myself, which most of the time is case where I'm the lone DPS..

Person ask me to craft Thav Bolero and gloves, and propose me 200k for the craft (which i easily agree, was suppsoe to be NQ)

Get mats and craft the Bolero np, craft the gloves FUCKING HQ 1%, then i started crying, shouldve asked for an HQ commission before making the deal lol (not like gloves are selling alot anyway but still)

[Niiro]

Why would it even matter on a glamour piece.

[Ratatapa]

Why would it even matter on a glamour piece.

Because i feel sad to have missed $$$ chance, since like any logical person, he went and sell the HQ to buy an NQ one

[Fievel]

Does the HQ version even sell for more? It's just for glamour lol

[Ratatapa]

sells for about 500k more

[Fievel]

What in the world

[Niiro]

People are stupid.

[Deadgye]

Dragoon bis doesn't exist. I literally have absolutely no idea what pieces of equipment I should be buying.

Should have done a Rata and right-click -> Lower Quality on it before trading.

eh, guess SE didn't bother too much when most DRGs tank the floor or don't know how to use their jumps properly.

[Niiro]

The Singularity Reactor and Aetherochemical dungeon have a bunch of little "DID YOU DO COIL YOU FUCKING NOOB" nods in them that I really liked.

My complaint is that it's so rare to get Reactor from trial roulette and the dungeon was just a complete waste (no drops, not in any roulette).

[octopus]

ARF is apparently in leveling roulette.

[Destinye]

Typical of yoshi though. They probably figured Reseach facility a well was too long to be worth throwing into roulette. The few well designed HW content is virtually worthless in the long run. Ontop of that it's confirmed they're only doing two expert dungeons per major update instead of 3...so they can make 'more content/variety of content'....
