Tanks holding fights hostage in Roulettes

An extremely simple solution would just be to have the bosses occasionally apply a doom debuff on the tanks that has to be esuna'd by a healer. You don't see this happening on the first boss of Dun Scaith for a reason.

That would result in a lot of wipes because a lot of DF healers don't know what Esuna is.
But who can blame them really, unless you do EX/Savage you don't really have to use it.

When whole Healer quest-line was about Esuna, you know it's kinda under-used in actual game. :p

Then how about to reset and let thoses people the time to learn how the boss mechanics work instead of being an egoistic jerk?
Because this what this post is all about since the start, and your answer is just what many people was pointing out to be one of main the problem : a crappy attitude.

No, I don't think I will reset.

Then don't come back crying about player skill issue if you don't take time to teach other and let them practice, that eventually lead to difficulty nerf and job getting dumbed down.

Which so damn hilarious. The whole questline is pretty much game begging us "Please remember that Esuna exists, put it on your hotbar!".

While 95% of Duty Finder instances don't give you any debuffs to Esuna or it is some outdated ARR/HW poison DoT that barely tickles hp bar of a random DPS. If the game actually bothered to play with debuffing the player characters in said instances, there would be MUCH less healers oblivious to the existance of Esuna. Same problem with Interruptable mechanics. In modern expansion, you see it once in a blue moon.

Quilty pleasure of mine is to watch how oh so immortal tanks panic and writhe when the boss slaps them with Doom and only Healer/Bard can save them from taking a nap on the floor.

OK, i have never tried to leave a party so i do not know whether it works or not if you are dead. But ALT+F4 always works.

Even if you ALT + F4, how long would you need to wait to be sure you're out of the party? 30 minutes? So it wouldn't make a difference if you stayed dead in the party because the tank is still holding the party hostage lol. Flawless logic.

And then getting locked out of the game because your char is stuck in an instance.

Ok even I have too comment on how ridiculous that is.
ALT+F4? Really?

When the whole group is saying to reset and a tank ignores that then that is ignorant behaviour at best and being a jerk at worst no matter the circumstances or if it’s against ToS or not.

Other players aren‘t NPC‘s.
