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

[FHT]

Thank you very much for clarifying things up. And yes there was a big DPS issue.

[Twilight Sky]

I don't mind raising the same person over and over again in the same fight, I mean, it's my job and all. BUT WAT DA PHUK DOOD? Stop standing in AOEs. And it's not my fault Swiftcast is on a 60 second timer. Yes sir you will eat dirt for 60 seconds.

[Fiye]

I dunno. Around the second time I question whether or not I should risk taking away valuble MP that could be used to keep someone else alive that could do more damage than someone who's going to take a 30% hit to all of their stats. I'd be willing to bet their DPS wasn't that great to begin with.

I ran a Dzamel Darkhold this week where the DRG died, got raised, and then immediately ran back at the boss before getting healed only to eat another AoE and die again.

^ They really need to add some tooltip or tutorial about raise invulnerability (specifically, the part where you just hang the fuck on for 5 seconds until you get a heal before doing anything besides moving so you don't clip it off early).

Or you know, make it an actual buff on the de/buff bar.

Went in A4 Normal yesterday after a good month break, since I was tired of banging my head on the wall everytime before. Yesterday I did it to help a friend for her 1st time, we went in 3 times.

I went as WAR as OT the 2 1st time & I noticed something wrong, the DPS output was incredibly low on the 1st leg but I kept going. I was taken to Quarantine & again, the monster took a while to die (the DPS with me was a BRD.) We arrive to the add phase & i'm still in Q, when suddenly I see 5 people die instantly (including the 2 healers) while I'm Q..

So i'm like "What?" To be honest it was the 1st time I saw that, for real. We restart, this time I get out of Q to see something called exhaust? everyone dies again, people start pointing each other out and ppl ragequit.

2nd time exact same, altho it was all different ppl...

3rd time I say screw it & decide to MT, we arrive at the add phase again and no one pick them... I as the MT, go out of my way to pick them & gather them but I get crazy damage while doing so because slow/low DPS and probably because the stacks were poping on me & giving me 5k damage? We arrived at the last phase where the boss does Discoid, everyone died there I don't know how, I was taking Fire Balls if I could and to be honest my healer was very compitent do keep me alive trough that shit. But gosh, what happened in a month? Did we go trough an Armaggeddon & I didn't notice it? Some people were bad, but definately not THAT bad.

I'm pretty sure most of the people who can actually play stopped doing alex after they got their first set or two.

That doesn't sound good for when I'm going to be going for my prototype gear. <_<;

I create opportunities by topping the tank off and then start doing my thing. They usually stay full for the whole cast. There was one time though where a tank survived at full for the whole cast, but FUCKING ONE SHOT TO 100 TON SWING. That honestly made me rage, not gonna lie. I hate raising in boss battles, because I have to dump hight tier cures on them to account for any possible troll shots.

There was one poor guy in DD but it was lag so he was excused. I mean on my screen he was clearly dodging stuff, but still took damage >_>.

Now my complaint came as the result of a bard standing in everything Midgarsomr was throwing at her..

Slam whatever new content in the first month or you're stuck with the scrub brigade~

The people who wipe Allagan Bomb, eat floor in Stone Vigil and bite it in The Chrysalis.

The people who wipe Allagan Bomb, eat floor in Stone Vigil and LB3 early w/o the dps to back it up in The Chrysalis.

ftfy

Yep. Had a Chrysalis yesterday in trial where the people kept suicide bombing the orbs (the SCH and Healer mainly) so spent the next 20 minutes not making it past that first phase. Then we get to the meteor phase and the OT kept running into the same circle as me and we wipe there..and never get back there again for 30 minutes.

Some things just aren't worth the 10 eso.

[BaneTheBrawler]

oh, i didnt even know that was a thing. ive never seen a group wipe before the tear...

It gets..pretty damn bad some times. lol. Throw in the fact the DRK didn't know what cooldowns were and the WHM spamming medica II and the SCH not knowing what a fairy was (despite being a 60 SCH) and the got destroyed every time he casted Double spark.

[Fiye]

Jeez. Some serious paint huffing going on there. After seeing a SMN not use bane I'll expect anything and everything now.

Found the screenshot - have a picture of one of the many wipes while playing on his DRK.

Spoiler: show

So many terrible FFX wannabe names.

No, people need to stop being lazy and expect things to be handled to them, that DRG was an idiot & no tooltip will change that.

Definately, I just went in because my friend needed it and I can see how painful this will be now.

Be glad it wasn't a DRK with an iLv55 weapon!

Why I originaly came on this thread today: Went Cutter Cry to help a friend level up, ended up with an AST healer full INT left side and missing earrings, his cure were doing 400 with Conva up, and he made us wipe 7 times on the last boss because for 7 time he didn't understand what you're meant to do with Ra/Dragon voice, or he would stand still when targeted by the lightning ball.

So yes Fiye, I feel you pain.

Every piece of caster gear is shared before lv50 with both MND and INT on it, except AF. There is no INT only left side piece before lv 50 that isn't job specific. I don't doubt your AST sucked but this isn't the reason why they did.

[KCem]

He could have been synced with lv.50 int gear on

Edit: disregard! Assumed right side
