Dear bard who joined a nidhogg farm with sub 20k hp and newbie bonus.

Go fuck yourself.

[Shenrien]

Looks like things working the way they were intended.

is 20k HP where the creep is now? Jesus, so much higher than even when I left lol

Yeah..it's odd to be under 22k these days, let alone 20..for anybody non tank (31k is about where most standard tanks tend to be that aren't WAR.)

[Alistaire]

Had a 15k BRD join a relic A1S light farm today with bonus. To which we were kind of ok with, 2nd run though he's still full-length watching cutscenes and we notice he's not using minuet, also doesn't have a relic. Try to get an answer from him on wtf he's doing to no avail, ended up booting him shortly after... someone thought he might be there for loot but he was all above 210's, so it's definitely possible to be well under 20k still.

[The Stig]

haha my BRD is 18.5k HP. 230 left side, 260 right side...

But that correlates with my mental thinking, each time I join something:

Sub 20k - they're gonna suck a bit
20-21k - they're up for it
23k~ - full dongs and shizzle

lol, joined a nidex clear yesterday for toon #2 (but only cleared like once or twice on my other, so i'm still a rookie at it) and the leader was helping get a clear for their friend. Took a few tries but we got it, though the nin was half the pld mt dps...

Damn I forgot how stubborn people are. I intended to spam mentor roulette to try to get 3 lines in WT, but I keep queuing into ARR ex primals. When I tell these parties that they're literally wasting everyone's time and could have it done under 1 min uncapped, they treat me like a bad guy for imparting this useful information to them. Many of them don't understand how uncapping or Party Finder work. So now I'm just gonna take my 1 line journal and deal with it.

[Edelweiss]

mentor roulette

A grave mistake.

[The Stig]

A similar thing happened to me but I was asking for it so I didn't mind, but I ended up in an Odin and also Shiva mentor roulette. When it became apparent Odin was unbeatable, someone suggested why waste our time and just do it unsync, the person who made the partial group said he wanted to experience it "fully". Unfortunately, what he didn't realise was Odin is extremely fine tuned and that unless everyone was at their A-game (rare in duty finder especially) Odin was just plain unbeatable. One of the healers kept dying, the healer didn't DPS, DPS getting caught up in the mechanics, and the punishing DoT (a SCH with Serene could erase the ticking version of it though... which eases up healing a little) and the tank getting tank busted, it is a very tight encounter.

The Shiva one at least after 2 attempts everyone agreed to bail and even one said "yeah this was harder than I thought".

[Dathus]

I know those feels. Got Shiva EX for Mentor roulette. Lel vote abandon. I was always the only one left alive at the end. Tried my damnedest to explain to them how shit worked, but deaf ears, etc etc.

[Corrderio]

People are able to fuck up Shiva? She was a cakewalk and this is coming from someone too pussy to DF for EXs in HW

[Dathus]

Yup. Especially when I clearly describe how to fight her, and when others have a small idea on how to at least deal with her shenanigans.

[Corrderio]

Heh, and here people were wondering why I was so hard pressed on wanting a guild to do shit with.

[Fiye]

None of the HW primals are really hard. Ping me on Discord (Satori#0240) if you want help getting something going if you're on the Aether data center.

[Corrderio]

Sadly I'm on Primal.

Though my friend wants me to come back and switch to Balmung.

[Destinye]

With cross DC party finder now it's not..too bad but yeah still gl on balmung lol

[Kiarax]

It's still bad because Aether is actually cancer.

[Dathus]

Primal's not MUCH better some days. Friend of mine has been trying to get into Sophia bird farms, and they've all been clown fiestas.

[Fiye]

Doing gathering scripts now to get the books I've never gotten.

Holy fuck this sucks.
