PUG delve farm rant list


1. I /shout for a PLD, and only PLD. Then 10 /tell asking to join on healer/THF/DD.

Reading so hard heh?

2. Delve DDs with terrible acc without hunter.

I'm not sure why it's so hard to cap acc without hunter....

3. BRD sings marchx1 and madrigalx1 all the time.

I don't know why BRD likes to sing madrigal so much, I really don't D;
Even worse, when they sing march and madrigal I wouldn't know if I'm not in that pt, so DD pt
lose DPS before I can ask for right songs.

4. THFs sitting in PLD pt always SJ DNC, and refuse to pull.

Ok, THFs only want to DD then who gonna pull? Worst rant worthy part is that THFs without BRD COR buff refuse to pull, and made COR with BRD COR buff pull. Anyone without a common sense knows that THF without BRD COR buff isn't gonna out DD a COR with march x2, if COR pulls over THF it's severe pt output lose.

Every time when someone told me "COR should pull" when they're totally ok with THFs not pulling or inviting a 85 cala DRK in PLD pt and no march, made me feel it's total job discrimination.....puller should be decided by who has lowest alliance output, not the job they're on. And yes I'm totally willing to pull on COR if I have lowest alliance output, but many times I wasn't the lowest and still had to pull just because I was on COR, when lowest ally output player just sit there and continue to do their gimp dmg on their 1 delve 1 pre-SoA dagger THF. I think BLU is the most optimal puller anyways, at least BLU can AoE def down on mobs.

5. THF who made the ally put THF/DNC in DD pt, with 1 delve dagger and 1 pre-SoA dagger. 

I have no idea why ppl starting to think THF's a DD now that they have right to occupy a DD spot...THFs output was even further behind DDs after SoA due to delve boss dagger pretty hard to obtain.....if you want to play THF like a DD at least get 2 SoA dagger + elite DD armor to show that you're taking the job seriously no? Otherwise go back to PLD pt ._.

6. Ally leader insisted for chaos/fighter in a 2 songs BRD pt, and he had terrible accuracy.

It's ok if you're gimp, but it's not ok if you're gimp AND still don't want to use the easiest and quickest to fix gimp.

7. WHM couldn't keep haste up, and almost never dia.

To defend for WHMs, I admit this job is pretty challenging to play well, to -na ASAP(any 1 sec delay on stona/viruna means DPS lose), to re-haste when it's dispelled right away, and still not mess up 3~4 haste cycle, it can get extremely busy and MP intensive. But that shouldn't be an excuse for not getting the job done.


This list can go on and on, because NA PUG delve is just that much of a headache.....yes I specifically said NA again, no matter how ppl would come in and say I'm sucking JP dick. JP generally have their gear/acc/song requirement that it already became a JP culture that most players follows, and much easier to avoid problem such as wrong song or wrong roll, thus able to get optimize dmg output and killing speed.....if you know all 3 of your DD can cap acc then you can use chaos/DA roll and get max output. But if 2 DD can cap acc and 1 can't without hunter, then you're just wasting 2 capped acc DD's output when you do hunter for 1 DD. If you don't do hunter than 1 DD can't cap acc too. Either all 3 DD needs hunter and eat pizza, or all 3 DDs eat sushi and don't use hunter.

I'm not sure why NA does not have such culture. But it's probably one main reason why reported JP PUG average plasm gain > NA PUG average plasm gain.


Speaking of delve, I've been trying to find optimal setup for COR in delve, according to last parse with no acc song/roll:

203969 total (Gimpfania strikes again D; )
96147 melee dmg
84158 WF dmg

I was doing 3 roll rotation for mage and I rarely get haste. 0 WF buff....no firestorm nor firesday so my WS was a bit low.

That made TP/WS/QD split  47/41/12, which is pretty interesting, considering COR has been WS>TP most of the time. That means there were 4 possibilities:

1. I WS too slow, I often had over 100 TP when mobs died and wasted TP. Slow WS also means hard to take advantage of fireshot WF boost.

2. WF on watersday isn't accurate.

3. WF sucked at this point of time, because SoA weapon DSP is just that high and now it's finally beating WS dmg.

4. I haste samba too many times and the result is I do less WS but got higher DPS.

Either way, I think I should fix my WS speed first, it's slow like a slug and unbearable :(

  1. thf, brd AND cor should be pulling. there's no way just 1 puller is going to be enough even with half decent DDs. if a cor/brd/thf are stading there waiting for someone to pull so they can DD might as well come as a DD job.

  2. You forgot gimp healers :)

  3. The problem is that in main room having 3 puller or 1 puller just doesn't make a damn difference if not enough pop in tunnel anyways!

  5. And every time when I play as a puller on BLU everyone took ages to finish the mobs......;/
