Mentors, huh
Blue: Mentor Tank
Red: Myself
Green: Anxious first run healer
Yellow: Random FC member
I’m fairly new to the game, and I hadn’t had an experience with rude or unhelpful mentors until today. I saw everyone here mention experiences, but never thought I’d see anything, even minor, myself.
Until today. Got Sastasha (Hard) in Duty Roulette. At first everyone says hi but the tank, which aight maybe they’re just not up to talking, or don’t want to. We hit the first boss and the healer is doing decently well except they seem to be struggling to understand the tail screw mechanic, but they’re healing and DPSing which is nice.
Tail screw wipes us, because the healer doesn’t know the debuff interacts with the attack. They panic and flail to heal suddenly low DPS HP. No biggie, it’s their first time here. But immediately the tank attacks the healer for DPSing, and not heal spamming.
The healer is a bit put out so I try to help with a little explanation best I can typing on controller, we try again and they mess up. They’re more than a bit flustered now, but the tank mentor keeps berating them.
Eventually it plays out as above, in the last few messages. The healer tried to res me bc I didn’t return bc I was typing and that just pissed them off more, I tried to vote kick bc the healer really was beating themselves up at this point but I knew we could do the fight.
We did wipe one more time because I was at the start trying to vote kick, or leave if I had to, and wasn’t there, and I’m not sure the black mage engaged either.
Idk if you can’t handle a couple of mistakes from a sprout in a level 50 dungeon, on their first run? Maybe turn that crown off, imo.
Oh, I said I was going to leave bc I voted to kick and it didn’t seem to go through, but after a moment of hesitation it did and they were replaced with a new tank who was wonderful and patient with the two first timers and we cleared the fight first attempt with our new tank. So.
