Yet another bad day at Duty Roulette

I’ve been cursed by the Duty Finder god! I must have been cursed, otherwise I wouldn’t have been put into as many weird parties (or worse, failed parties) in Duty Finder as this.

First attempt at Low Level Roulette today as a ROG landed me in Brayflox’s Longstop and the tank wasn’t performing well. Enmity was all over, and we wiped quickly in first boss room. The tank was so squishy. The WHM left after everyone returned to homepoint. I sneaked a peek at the PLD’s gear and found that he was still wearing level 25 set. Well, that doesn’t quite cut it, so I said sorry and said that this dungeon needs more updated equipment.

I had been slacking on ROG’s quest, not to mention NIN’s, so I decided to dedicate my day catching up from level 15 quest to level 30 quests. The moved on to unlock NIN. I got from level 34 to 35 right when I finished lv 30 NIN quest, so I went on to get Chi and finished the lv 35 quest.

I tried to queue for my Low Roulette again and after 25 mins waiting, I landed in Qarn.

=_=;; talk about bad luck.

The party seemed fine until the WHM suddenly died in first boss room (Doom monster). But we managed to live through it and won without wiping. The tank seemed to struggle with enmity here and there on trash mobs along the way, but nothing serious.

Then, at the Golem boss room, somehow the tank lost aggro and it chased me and then the BLM, and bounced between us two like nuts. The tank didn’t try to actually win back the enmity, but instead was jumping repeatedly in the middle of the room spamming Shield Lob.

I wanted to ask but I couldn’t type while going full attack on the golem while trying to survive.

Then, the Golem stuck to the BLM ans beat him to death. Before the BLM died, the tank started:

[17:46](PLD) u dont want me to tank right?
[17:46](BLM) well you were attackin thw wrong part
[17:46]The golem soulstone is shattered!
[17:47](PLD) so u keep doing dmg while u know that?
[17:47](BLM) thanks
(BLM was raised so he thanked the WHM)
[17:47](BLM) one rotation + Provokewould have been more than enough
[17:48](PLD) thats just what i did
[17:48]The golem soulstone is shattered!
[17:48](BLM) but it was on the wrong part. and you use provoke when Rage of Haloneis the next attack or you will lose agro again
[17:49](BLM) if you did that then i have no idea why you lost it. i already used Quelling Strikes

I wanted to scream shits but I was too busy trying to survive because the PLD kept losing aggro and the Golem kept turning to beat me up every once in a while (not counting the random attacks that could not be prevented by tank’s keeping enmity). To my relief, we managed to win without wiping, though. I had so much to say but I wasn’t in the mood and it would hinder the progress even more, so I only said this after we won against the Golem boss:

[17:52](Aleczan Knighthill) Sorry, can’t type while fighting.

What I actually wanted so much to say to the tank was HOW THE FUCK CAN I KNOW THAT MY TANK IS STUPID AND ATTCKING THE WRONG PART? I was targeting the enemy and had no way to easily see what  freaking part of the golem the tank was attacking. (As a healer, I would see because I would have been targeting the tank and thus see his current target.)

It wasn’t DPS’s fault that the tank attacks wrong target, you dumbnuts! Plus, why whimper about DPS not letting you tank when you actually made almost no effort to win back the enmity!?! That was such a bullshit squabble. UGH!

Not to mention that he was careless enough to pull the second group of mobs from the Scale room in front of last boss on accident. Which resulted in a wipe. I’m glad I survived the ordeal and got my Challenge Log done for Duty Finder category. No more bullshit to go through until next week.
