Umm, the Black Knight has blessed armor and 30 defense, he wouldn't be taking damage from random dungeon mobs.

I know I shouldn't be super irritated by it but I'm upset that you can't solo heal Lakshmi (or you can, but it's super difficult)

solo healing susano's not nearly as bad, and that's almost entirely due to there not being any healer-specific mechanics

Susano has boulders, which are definitely healer-specific (at least for 2 of the 3 of them). What are the healer-specific mechanics in Lakshmi?

Circle prey marks that leave burny-puddles target the healers specifically.

Bad tanks usually mean you're also going to have the cone-o'-death aimed at you.

Having just hit 50 as a healer, I have never encountered anyone telling me to stop dps. Closest was a leveling roulette where some ACN was trying to physick the tank when they took a sliver of damage, when they saw me dotting/ruining.

Doubly weird since it was loving Sastasha and Eos basically has that covered.

I got the aery recently for my lldr and had a tank wearing the mentor crown. The sprout who was doing the dungeon for the first time asked what they should know for the bosses, so I waited for the tank to answer them. Instead he never slowed down or seemingly ever bothered to respond, so I tried to quickly type in what I could remember. The sprout then died in a later boss fight and got real confused, so I pointed out something I forgot to mention and said something to the effect of "lmao the mentor should really be explaining this anyway" and the dude tried to defend himself by saying that I seemed to type faster.

In short:

Direct Hit is better than Det unless you have a totally unreasonable excess of it.

In short:

imo, choosing to be a mentor means in a duty a player gets a dialog saying would you like to merit or demerit the mentor(s) and getting too many demerits removes their shitter crown for a while, increasing in time each time they lose it by being poo poo mentors.

and then maybe consistently getting merit points would give you rewards to actually reward being a constructive and helpful player outside of getting the shitter crown. like trading them for clusters or khloe like things.

my guild bamboozled me today

as a newbie i generally never have trouble getting people to help me with new dungeons though sometimes we just barely find a 4th. they're nice of course and usually offer tips as we go.

tonight i mentioned i unlocked cape westwind and asked if anyone wanted to help. everyone basically tripped over themselves trying to get into the party saying it was super cool but also since it's the first 8 man trial it's hard and suggested i get in discord and get ready to move to safe spots as phases change, etc.

To be fair, that looks like Aurum Vale in the background. If you use a GCD to do damage in there, someone will accidentally pull an extra mob or three and get splattered before your heals come up, and you'll never ever ever hear the end of it. That, or I'm overthinking this badly.

Also, that butterfly tome is adorable and I need it. Is it from Omega or somewhere else?

I believe it's the i300 sch weapon from the current set of exdr dungeons.

It can't be a faithful recreation of AV because the tank didn't bail instantly.

It's from the level 69 dungeon. Getting it sucks though because weapons aren't included in the automatic drop system.

The stuff I've circled are areas we didn't go to at ALL in 4.0 that were uncovered when we left for Othard. Technically there's a bit west of Doma proper we didn't visit that is More Doma and some more of the Steppes we didn't go to that is More Steppes.

And then, over in the west, we can now see Sharlayan and the home islands of the Sea Wolves.

The desert with the sandworm was caused by a primal draining that area of all aether. When the Garleans discovered it while invading they used it as justification for their scorched earth anti-primal stance.
