RDM Pet Peeves

[Aeni]

Tell me yours ... ;3

Mine is ... converting and DS + Cure III on myself, refresh and regen (usually right after I cycle through another round of refresh)

Then the PLD goes and spam Cure III on me. O_O

Same with a SMN before this one got replaced by another.

Also the fact that no one told me I'd be main healer for 3 melee, with a MNK and SAM thinking they're in Sky and TP burning.

Sigh ... ;3

When you are PLing a friend by helping his party. And when he has to leave, party members ask why you are leaving too.

Couldn't agree more. I usually let this pass once or twice but if they keep it up I /t them and tell them I have a system and I don't need to have them spam pt chat for a spell thats being cast or has been cast already. Now if you have a slacking rdm, I don't see a problem with having to ask. I was at Hakutaku recently and had to ask a rdm for refresh SEVERAL times before he gave it to me. I started at 900 mp and didn't get a refresh till I was at 46 mp. >.< You know why he couldn't refresh me? He was too busy skilling up enfeebling by casting slow and para over and over on the mob...........

Re: RDM Pet Peeves

{Dispel}{please} When I know the mob has no buffs and the DD wants to blame me for their poor damage. ><

Double Post Edited:
Also people yelling at me for dispelling too slowly on rdm and blm type mobs. (It's because I'm casting Silence first! ><)

Re: RDM Pet Peeves

I hate what I called the "needy PLD." Their Refresh JUST wore off, and I'm in the process of casting and I get the "refresh plz" B.S. Usually these are the same people who cancel their Refresh "on accident" and then ask for another one. These are often the same PLDs who seem to hardly use any MP, but are the first to cry for Refresh.

People who tell you to Dispel a mob when there's really nothing to Dispel. Crabs doing a STR Down move, but they don't gain anything. They want me to Dispel it because they're damage dropped out. Well STR-15 can do that to ya.

Sadly all my problems AS RDM are with the PLDs. When I'm leveling other jobs, I have a big issue with RDMs for some reason. Dual Weilding Clubs, but still meleeing. Won't Enfeeble to save their lives. Been leveling SAM like crazy lately, had to beg the RDM to cast Gravity at least 5 times before I saw it ONCE.

Yep when you play another job, your very aware of how a job you've lvled is being played. I always temper my frustration by /ting the person and talking with them very friendly. I will throw in that I have that job lvled, how much fun it is, what frustrates me, etc. Once a door is open then when I make suggestions they are accepted a bit better. I've still had some people flip out on me but for the most part they either understand and try harder or they blow me off.

Re: RDM Pet Peeves

I've tried to advise pick up party members in how to better do their job in the past. And I don't think I've EVER had it go well. lol No matter how neutral I tried to stay, or how I worded it, they assume I'm trying to tell them how to do their job. I've evern tried to hint at my experience in the job and have them ask me for tips. Sadly that doesn't happen often, and it usually happens from people are actually doing a pretty decent job. /sigh All this knowledge and experience, and nobody to share it with, save the choir of course! lol

No kidding. Now that I'm going back and leveling my subs I notice it when I pt with RNG's that suck (ok not necessarily suck, some just don't know). Like RNG's using shortbows for some odd reason, NQ longbows (when the HQ's are rather cheap), or have no clue about where to stand for maximum damage.

In regards for the /pt chat for spells already cast, how long are they waiting before they say it? I know I've said it once or twice while the spell is being cast (usually b/c I'm saying it moments after I get hit with a debuff and am not used to mages being so on the ball). After the first few times I usually give it a round or two of meleeing before I think about saying anything. I think sometimes things are said b/c they are unsure that the mage even saw what happened in the text log (I often can't even see how much I just hit a mob for b/c the box is flying so fast), or they don't see the mage casting b/c of the same reason.

Re: RDM Pet Peeves

Chat filters ftw, Caspian.

Personally, I hate it whenever someone tells me how to do my job. If someone's going to tell me what's up with my performance they better do these three things:

• express themselves in a polite way
• be doing an exemplary job at their own role
• not say the words "on another server"

I've never heard the words "on another server" where the rest of the sentence wasn't a blatant lie. Maybe they leveled rdm to 75 on the gamefaqs message board server and thus think they know everything. I could buy that.

Re: RDM Pet Peeves

Lol, I know. I'm just afraid I'll filter the wrong things and miss something important.
Offtopic, what filters do ya'll use? What's considered unimportant and I can cut out, but not miss things like buffs, debuff, spellcasts, and damage?

[Taskmage]

Re: RDM Pet Peeves

Well, I filter most damage. Even damage to party members unless I'm main healer. Damage and missed attacks cuts out a LOT of scrolling. I can't think of what else I use off the top of my head.

[Caspian]

Re: RDM Pet Peeves

I suppose I could cut out dmg, then just put it back in whenever I decide to use a parser. Does missed attacks include the mob missing me? B/c I'd need that for playing NIN.

[Taskmage]

Re: RDM Pet Peeves

Missed attacks by you, Attacks you evade, Missed attacks by party members, and attacks evaded by party members are four different filters.
