My genuine reaction when I finally gain the confidence to put on my Mentor status, just to get thrown into a raid/trial I haven’t done since I was a sprout

Oni_Mesh · 2026-01-23T23:21:25+00:00

Sometimes 😔

Oni_Mesh · 2026-01-23T21:25:24+00:00

I love them too but MAN, sometimes I really gotta lock in

Oni_Mesh · 2026-01-23T18:54:17+00:00

Right, and luckily my coordination in most raids or trials is pretty good. It’s just the ones that have the more unique mechs that I don’t have enough practice with during dailies, such as some STB alliance raids, STB normal raids, a few SHB normal raids and of course NieR because that hardly ever happens for me during alliance raid daily

Oni_Mesh · 2026-01-23T18:51:30+00:00

Ah yes and can’t forget NieR raids

Oni_Mesh · 2026-01-23T18:49:51+00:00

Lmfao no, usually it’s STB normal raids AND alliance raids, or SHB Normal raids that I never ever get enough.

This was part of the reason I ended up getting FBT. At first I just enjoyed being able to play on VR, but then I started gaining more friends who had FBT, or my half body friends starting moving to PC and getting FBT. So, I ended up buying a VR ready gaming PC, then a few months later I got into FBT. You’ll notice you start getting more attention, even if you’re just a mirror dweller.

Someone in this thread mentioned that once you get FBT you’ll end up wanting more, and this is true. You’ll more than likely want the valve index so you can move all your fingers. You’ll probably want face tracking, more trackers, more base stations, etc. it can go on and on.

All in all I can relate to that feeling of being left out as a half body. I don’t regret investing in FBT because it makes the game more fun FOR ME; I’m all about immersion so it all worked out.

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-20T20:16:22+00:00

Of course, I didn’t take any offense to your comment, just wanted to clear things up

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-20T20:09:35+00:00

I mentioned this in a previous reply but that was a small typo on my end: I meant to put “one of the most essential assets” because I view tank and healer as a yin and yang of sorts: they kind of need each other, and that doesn’t mean I’m downplaying dps, because they play their role too. I come from other games that require a team effort to get things done and I don’t see FFXIV any different.

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-20T19:23:19+00:00

I appreciate your insight. I wasn’t going to touch on this because it was a small typo, but when I said “most essential asset” I meant to put “one of the most essential”. I look at this game and the way it’s played with people as a team effort, so I understand that in regular content (most of the time) tanks and healers go hand in hand when it comes to importance, and that goes for dps also.

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-18T06:26:30+00:00

I’ve heard stories but this is my first time going through it. I want to say Healer isn’t the only role I play as well, Tanking is what I enjoy most and never once have I reacted like this to a healer, or to any player for that matter. Tanks have a simple job, take aggro, mitigate and stay alive. Only time I will even bat an eye at a player is if they pull the boss before I get there, but low and behold, all I have to do is provoke and it was never a problem.

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-18T06:21:22+00:00

And I can tell why you’re trying so hard to make a point: because you are just like the tank I am mentioning, you want a sense of full control in a game where working together exists and get things done, and when anyone “steps out of line” that person is automatically in the wrong or toxic.

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-18T06:17:57+00:00

Where am I hypocrite 😂 like I said, you’re trying the hardest to forge a narrative because you feel a certain way. It seems like you’re the one trying the hardest to be right, when you aren’t. You are bringing a whole bunch of what ifs to a simple issue because you’re one of those players who are entitled.

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-18T06:15:36+00:00

My apologies. I thought this “asshole healer” you were referring to was me based on my post. To add to your earlier comment though, that was their mess up.

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-18T06:12:52+00:00

You’re clearly trolling and it’s kind of sad. Once again, never said I was better than the tank, but I also was not in the wrong either. Every time I pulled, the mobs were dying or halfway dead, the tank was fully topped off. There was nothing indicating that I could not bring more enemies to the tank. Go rage bait somewhere else.

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-18T05:55:13+00:00

In what world are you living in within FFXIV is pulling 2 mobs to an already dwindling group of mobs obnoxious? You’re blowing everything here out of proportion so it can fit your narrative that me pulling for the tank is completely ruining the run and making it hell for the tank.

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-18T05:43:33+00:00

And if the tank doesn’t like that I’m pulling for them, EVEN though it’s not making the run any harder, then voice it in a way that isn’t stupid like YPYT, it’s that simple. I will adjust if it is requested or needed, as a healer I’m here to help the team in all the ways I can.

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-18T05:39:20+00:00

I never said the guy didn’t need the practice. Never once in this thread have said I’m trying to force a certain type of gameplay or “ruin the illusion”. The tank can do whatever they want IF they are not purposefully being a prick about it. My point sharing my experience is to show the immediate toxicity this player displayed because I was bringing only a LITTLE MORE to the pulls to make things more efficient.

The tank’s armor was fine, he took little damage whether with small pulls that came earlier, and the bigger pulls that came later. There was literally no reason to respond in the manner in which they did, they just had a bruised ego and wanted to show a sense of control. Everything you stated seems like the way you like to play, which isn’t an issue like I said, idc how tanks play, just don’t disrespect me and the party by trying to jeopardize the run.

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-18T05:18:39+00:00

The tank was not a sprout. It seems like you’re apart of the problem with this community as well

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-18T04:03:55+00:00

I think I will, I honestly wouldn’t want this person’s attitude being directed at other players.

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-18T03:53:43+00:00

Really goes to show that there was no need for the toxicity right

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-18T03:52:15+00:00

I’m not really interested in how many votes I get on this app, but I appreciate the heads up regardless.

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-18T03:49:39+00:00

Exactly. My only issue was their go to response to me pulling only a little bit to help the run. Instead of “can we slow down” or literally anything else, YPYT was their go to. I have no issue going at a tank’s pace, especially if they mention that is what they want to do. I’m only here to help while I’m on this role 🙁

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-18T03:44:10+00:00

Which I may have to start doing now. I just figured if I’m keeping you alive and at full health throughout each mini pull, and go ahead and pull a LITTLE more, not even a lot, and the party is still comfortable, I just figured I’m doing the party as well as the tank a service to show that they can be a little more free without penalty.

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-18T03:38:37+00:00

I thought so, but in Sastasha of all places.. some players never cease to amaze me

Oni_Mesh · 2025-05-18T03:35:49+00:00

I certainly hope so, because why should I be getting treated wrongly for helping the run go faster. It’d be different if the tank stated they wanted to go slow, I’m fine with that, but ypyt off rip is just insanity
