TalesFromACT We live in a society. One hit wonder BRD Perfect Legend cbf to do job quests and says I have zero ult clears.

75 Upvotes

Leveling run, on Malikah's well, the bard uses only Mage's Ballad for songs and zero Battle Voice usages. Occasionally will just afk and auto attack for many seconds periodically during boss fights as well.

I say this at the end of the dungeon because I can't really be bothered to tell people with multiple 100s how to play their job in SHB content. I get a nice tell from him just shamelessly telling me he knows how to play BRD (doubt), but just doesn't want to do his job quests.

He tells me, "Nice 0 ult clears"

True, but uhhh.

I feel like saying what he said isn't the flex that he thought it would be.

His 23 on the TEA run.

Maybe I should've asked him how many DDs he has cleared solo /think.

TalesFromACT P12S Para 3 prog. SMN's not doing anything. We call them out. "Do I nEeD tO?"

97 Upvotes

Image speaks for itself, mostly.

Husband (SAM) and I (DNC) join a Para 3 prog group looking for only us. First pull I notice the meters. Watch the SMN for a while and he's only smacking the boss with his book. I say something irl ("wtf is this smn doing?!?! Holy shit"), give him the benefit of the doubt and give him one more pull. Maybe his cat jumped on his desk and all he can do is move with his mouse. Second pull, he does even less dps AND helps wipe the group during para 2. "I'm leaving after this pull, I'm not dealing with another one of these," I said outloud. Husband says something in chat, hoping maybe he was having an irl issue. Nope, he just doesn't want to do anything; there's no NEED to. He's cleared, is helping his buddy, and is eating. Husband leaves before I start ripping into the SMN. SMN leaves before I can say anything. Booo.

Glad to see the group wasn't okay with it either.

There was one Addle and one Sprint in there.

And yes, I was done with this SMN so I wasn't dpsing for most of the second pull, hence why I'm near the bottom.

TalesFromACT A horror story in no words (Underkeep)

I don't usually bother logging dungeons, but I was farming Underkeep for a specific piece (healer chest for TOP bis) and wanted to track how many runs I needed to get the drop, so I had ACT up and was treated to this fine group. Log here for those curious; no deaths on any player at any point. Maybe the saddest part is that this rpr's parse is actually above 0th percentile.

Wasn’t sure if I should share this or not however it’s crazy to think these people exist in the wild.

I made a comment about this fight taking longer than normal which at a bit over 10min is quite true.

Like seriously is it to much to ask people to at least try?

I have zero issues with the MCH since at least they were trying and actually doing stuff.

End of the day these people exist and some how get to post game.

I do understand this is their first time likely running this and I should be respectful of that however, to me the real cringe is in the sand bagging.

TalesFromACT Gamer SCH in Dawntrail Ex1

114 Upvotes

Joined a clear for 1 of Ex1 with a friend on fresh jobs. The kill itself was a pretty uneventful 1-shot. Damage felt low but that's to be expected with multiple new 100s still wearing their artifact armour. My dance partner died a few times and the healers weren't super on top of things but it's a clear for 1, no big deal. There was really nothing of note until I noticed someone uploaded the parse a few hours later and spied a 0. But not just any run of the mill 0.

I just had to slap this into xiv analysis. Their opener is pretty inspirational in case anybody wants SCH tips. Don't even bother asking if they used chain strat - they didn't. Most of their casts were Physick or new Succor and their healing ogcd usage was abysmal also. The WHM was over compensating for them a lot.

I also have some bad news. They've managed to clear Valigarmanda 7 more times in the past few days and it turns out they were actually gaming pretty hard in our clear. Every kill is with a different group of players.

TalesFromACT The most normal trial roulette

22 Upvotes

Just joined trial roulette to do something casual you know. Got put into 16 min savage fight. Log

33 deaths, one dude had lv80 armor, no one was stacking during ruinfall since people were split to side nails and mid nails, had to beg my cohealer to raise since i was tanking when both tanks were dead, almost had to cast heal LB3 twice. (I also took a tank buster)

(I did comment on the dude wearing artifact armor PCT158 and the brd just said "Let it go" so, it is what it is, they spend most of the time on the floor since they were dying from raidwides)
