Tank lv55 in T4.

Fresh level 50 Tank in full AF running Bray HM. Barely had 5k HP with Defiance on. They must have seen videos because they pulled everything the way Bray is usually done, but being such a low item level they lost hate to the Bard and the Black Mage and myself constantly.

On the first boss, they were practically down 25% of their HP with every auto attack from the boss. So when the focus-target adds came, I tried to keep it one on myself because I could take the damage and the Bard had the other. The tank kept running over and taking the mobs back from us every time we took them off him, so I was left with a tank who was constantly losing 75% of his HP every other second.

It was not fun to heal through, but we did somehow manage to clear it. And I don't believe I got any commendations for it either. Though it was kind of nice to see my Cure I's healing back 1/3 of the guy's HP. Made me feel kind of OP.

How is this even possible considering you have to be i77 to even queue for it? o.O

I'm surprised he lived through the first trash pull even with the loss of aggro, lol.

In CT our second healer dced and was kicked. Then the replacement healer somehow managed to lock himself out three times in a row, so I had to solo heal bomb and behemoth.
After that we kicked him because it was obvoious that he was just leeching.

I hate when people do this. It's bad enough when it's a dps, but a healer... ugh. x_x

I was pumping out Cures like a fast food restaurant pumping out diabetes.

In 2.0/2.1 there were no ilvl restrictions, the tank joined as warrior and then changed to ilvl55 or so PLD (with lv55 I mean he had half lv50 and half lv60 stuff).
Got oneshot by Soldier and Knight.

Sastasha with a bot gladiator.

It wouldn't talk or use flash..

We had to abandon duty, because anytime I casted cure everything in the dungeon would tunnel me.

In "Party Members" there's the option "Vote dismiss" which allows you to kick a party member out of the dungeon. Next time you find a bot tank (I found lots) kick him right away and replenish ranks :)

It's really hard to find tanks that que in-progress. I've been running Bray a lot lately because I have 3 level 32 DoW DPS and I need the set, and we usually end up waiting 20+ minutes for a tank if I don't go through begging my LSs.

Long time lurking on this thread, first time commenting.

I'm a fairly new lvl50 Scholar. Was running Prae on DF and I asked the WHM which tank she wanted to take. She took the main tank. I took the OT. 20 mins later I realise that she was ONLY healing the MT. So with my limited mass heal, not only was I dealing with the OT, but the rest of the group AND the WHM because she wasn't even healing herself and she took hate a couple of times. Thank god that was my 3rd experience of working with a WHM because that could have totally tarnished my view of playing with other healers....

That reminds me of one time when I pugged t4 for farm in the DF (this was back when the echo buff was really new) and we had a tank who was wearing full Allagan healing accessories to get past the minimum item requirement. It was horrific. I couldn't even heal him through mobs.
