I got to teach a rando the mechanics of Toborro’s Courtyard today!
There was a call in genchat/Endgame for a dwt for TC groupfinder, and I offered to do it, since I was on Eleison. They told me to go ahead and queue. Queued up, but kept matching with a group that didn’t include the person who had asked for help. Apparently they queued and got someone else and just went with it? But someone in the group that I matched with whispered me and asked me to ready up, so I went with it.
Upon getting inside, noticed no one was setting up isotope canisters, but that’s not too big of a deal in story mode, tanks can really choose whether they want to use them in sm based on how much they want to stress out their healers, I guess. Then the discussion of who was going to take adds sort of suggested that most of them hadn’t been in TC before.
Tank pulled, positioned in between Golden Fury and the grass. All melee taking damage from Fury’s attacks. Tank stayed in for most of the first laser and nearly died (or might have died and gotten res’d, I’m not sure). Tank stayed in for second laser and died. Fury fixated on me, so I moved to the gate behind him to keep the radiation and stompy-stomps off the melee dps, but because I didn’t have isotope, I took a lot of damage, and even with dcds, didn’t do super well, and we ended up wiping. I whispered the tank and asked if they were actually tank spec or if they were dps but had just queued as tank. They responded “I can do either, but I’m tank right now.” I explained that they should probably break an isotope tank right before pull to protect them from the radiation and turn the boss toward the back wall to keep the dps from taking damage. They took my advice on the first part, but still stood with the melee dps. I pulled threat off of them pretty easily (I think they were probably not geared), and got positioned by the gate, shrouded for the first round, then got isotope during the first laser, and kept Fury’s attention for the rest of the fight. Once it was over, I whispered them to stick around so I could show them some tips if they tanked it again - how to position the canisters before the fight and when to refresh them, where to stand so that the tank is pretty much the only one taking damage from the boss, and a reminder that you have to get out for the laser.
They seemed really excited to have gotten some pointers, so I hope they had fun and get to run some good stuff.
