Yes, I’m speaking of a level 60 dungeon, Expert roulette, patch 3.4 content, requiring iLV 210, which happened to be The Great Gubal Library (Hard) in this case.

[9:22][FC]<Aleczan Knighthill> wow
[9:24][FC]<Aleczan Knighthill> Why did tank leave lol? He kept dying? Or was there an argument?
[9:24][FC]<Bray> the healer and other dps voted to boot him
[9:24][FC]<Bray> now the tank that just joined, left
[9:25][FC]<Aleczan Knighthill> Boot him… what happened lol I think ppl that needs to be kicked is the CNJ

[9:27][FC]<Bray> i booted him, ty
[9:27][FC]<Bray> healer in, tank now already lolol
[9:27][FC]<Bray> AND A BONUS!

[9:38][FC]<Bray> tank dc mid fight
[9:39][FC]<Aleczan Knighthill> wow
[9:39][FC]<Aleczan Knighthill> Hope they return fast
[9:39][FC]<Bray> im afraid they abandon
[9:39][FC]<Bray> i wasted all this time

[9:57][FC]<Bray> we boot healer now
[9:57][FC]<Aleczan Knighthill> Seeking?
[9:57][FC]<Bray> 22 min left
[9:57][FC]<Bray> yes
[9:57][FC]<Aleczan Knighthill> Doesn’t let me join lol
[9:58][FC]<Bray> i am being trolled tonight!
[9:58][FC]<Aleczan Knighthill> EVen manual selection doesn’t pop the duty lol
[9:58][FC]<Aleczan Knighthill> weird
[9:59][FC]<Aleczan Knighthill> got it

So I managed to join his party and we passed swiftly. (When I joined, the duty finder told me they had spent 68 mins in there already lol.) From what I gathered, they had a tank, 1st tank got kicked (IDK why), 2nd tank (who was FC friend of the SMN) joined at last boss but DC mid-fight, then they got 3rd tank that stayed. For the healers, 1st one was the CNJ, then someone else joined and got kicked (what?!) (Bray said 2nd healer was as bad O_o!?), then I was their 3rd healer.

That was an exceptionally crazy party. Though I’ve been in hellish roulette before, none of them took nearly as long or got nearly as many replacements.

But what’s mind-boggling to me is….the fact that some people do play to end-game without utilizing Job system. Seriously, no Job means they don’t have access to the myriad of skills and spell from level 30-60. There are so much useful skills from Job. As a WHM, when playing endgame content, I found it hard to preserve my MP if I don’t maximize the use of my MP skills. Regen, Asylum, Assize, Tetragrammaton, and especially Benediction are great help not only with MP management, but also for healing output. Divine Seal is a must and it goes great with Medica II. Along with a Divine Sealed Regen, and perhaps a Stoneskin once in a while, could sustain the tank for a long time, allowing me free time to do something else, like nuking or cleansing people’s debuffs, or standing around to wait for my MP refresh.

I can’t understand why someone would go to endgame dungeon (or dungeon requiring max level) without having a Job. Alright you may have 5 more free slots for cross-class skills/spells. But with Job, you have 10 more skills/spells that can help the party survive better. The stats also drops when you don’t equip Soul Crystal. I tested using Masakaki Kai, weapon of ilv 180, and compared the stats:

(Format is [Stats: WHM => CNJ])
HP: 16301 => 15945
MP: 14385 => 13649
Healing magic Potency: 1271 => 1249

Because WHM has slightly better DEX, VIT, INT, MND and PIE.

And I’ve healed a GLA in a dungeon above level 50 before. I can’t remember exactly where, but it could have been The Aery. It was horrendous!! It was so tough keeping him or her alive. The GLA was so squishy. And if I remember correctly, couldn’t manage enmity very well. It was a painful run. Just ugh…. Why do I have to suffer in a DF party because someone doesn’t maximize the class/job system?

I mean, I’ve seen a GLA in level 32 dungeon and a CNJ in level 47 dungeon before. It was surprising and upsetting, and the party’s performance was kind of crippled, but I would assume that it wasn’t as brutal as in a level 60 dungeon where my friend was in.
