You should hide character names in your video, especially when you cast a bad spotlight on someone. No matter the gear.

The best thing that I've learned as a Tank is to follow advice from those who know more than I do. Not sure how liked/disliked Momo is, but his video on "How to Scholar in Dungeons" is a godsend. Things like casting an adlo on yourself to deploy on the tank for a free quick shield once the first prepull one is eaten is a really good thing that I've found helps a lot, if you don't need the deploy for something, and let's be honest Dungeon bosses never have lethal AoEs anyway..

Learning two things helped me level from 1 to 78 on Scholar so far:
1: PREEMPT damage by pre shielding, tossing Sacred on the ground as the tank is just about to stop to mitigate the huge hits, excog the tank, esp with Recitation when you get it, BEFORE the tank stops and his almost dead. Things like that, will help you a lot, and using Dissipate between pulls for extra Aetherflow in dungeons, gives you SIX stacks to use, since Aetherflow will mostlikely be up anyway, so you get free stacks, a bigger adlo on the tank from Dissipate's buff before next pull, and by the time you are running low on resources, fairy should be back anyway so you can Fey Union.

2: BUDGET your resources. Don't blow everything on ONE pull and be naked for the next. Budget your mana - Lucid should be used ON COOLDOWN whenever you are 8k in mana if you are always casting something, which you should be.

Emergency tactics Adlo is really good for a burst in healing. Sacred on pulls is really OP if it's a bigger pull, if not, then Lustrate is better. If you have excog, that's better than lustrate, since it's 800 potency for one stack vs the lustrate.

USE FEY ILLUMINATION when you are getting to the point that you need to use GCD heals, it boosts your healing for "Spells" like Adlo and Physick, also, when mobs are shooting magic at the tank, it gives some resistance.

USE FAIRY ABILITIES before dissipate, so they are working for you, and you get your stacks as well as the benefit of what the fairy would have been able to do, sans Embrace. Imho, Dissipate is far more powerful than Embraces, when the tank's hp is being shredded, don't be afraid to use and abuse it.

These are just a few newb insights that may be wrong, but hell, I haven't had a terrible dungeon yet where people are dying left and right.

Returning character perhaps, ur heal style more like in ARR timeline minus the reactive part,
Love ur excog and lustrate more, don't forget the fairy. In time u'll press less emergency tactics

I actually just today discovered that Excog exists, lol.

When I dinged a level, likely when doing roulettes or something, the game just dumped the button on my bar, and I didn't even realize I had gained it. Then today I went to do another Abania, and I saw this new button sitting on my bar, and I'm like "What's that?" and I mouse over it and I'm like..

.........OOOOOH, derp. I've quickly gotten into the habit of dumping that on the tank and just not having to worry for the first... oh I dunno 10-15 seconds of a fight.

Except A). I don't know how to edit video, and B). I was live-streaming this, so a bunch of people likely saw it anyways, and it stays in my VODs for a month even if I didn't highlight it and stick it up on forums.

While none of that matters outside of the forums, you did post a link to it on the forums which make you vulnerable to a possible ToS violation if someone decides to report your post.

As a suggestion for future recordings to give you the flexibility to link in official SE venues and doesn't require any editing at all, you can change the in-game settings to display player names as only initials when you do the recording/streaming. That way you don't have to worry about anything aside from masking the chat window which any decent streaming tool can easily do. People typically put their logo, face or blurred box over top of it.
