up until now, i had only done duties in a party with my friends, because i was scared of teaming up with randos.
it started out with me in a panic attack because cure ii was, for some reason, "not learned yet". it took me a few moments to figure out that the dungeon had level synced the duty below the level that you learn cure ii, so it simply would not let me cast it. (for some reason, it doesn't just cast cure i instead.)
THANKFULLY, i had just added cure i back to my crossbar like RIGHT before i went into this duty, so i didn't have to panickedly rip through menus to add it back in. (i had added it to an awkward place, but it was better than nothing.)
the one time i sent a chat message (to let people know what happened), i didn't send it in party chat (i don't know why this isn't default? did i change it?), so i'm not sure if my teammates saw it.
also, because i was watching cutscenes, i didn't get to give commendations :( but i did get 2! somehow! why!!! (was it because i took the time to cast aero on the bosses?)
anyway, i panicked, and i wish i knew my skills other than cure better, but it was fun, i guess. i hope next time will be a more fluid experience. hopefully i can find some recommendations online on how to best lay out the crossbar (i play on controller) for WHM so that skills are in an optimal place. but i'm sure that's just personal preference anyway for a lot of people anyway... still, would love to see how people do it. i wonder if there's like a place where people post that sort of thing.
