If you speed run Braflox HM (a primer on how to get blacklisted)

The thing is with a half decent tank the dps and healers should never need to move. It's not even a hard mechanic, running through the boss and turning him away from the rest of the party. If the tank doesn't move obviously I will, but that doesn't change the fact that is a terrible tank.

This is true, but there are those speshul people who like to follow the tank and stack on them, even when the tank is doing things right.

I'm rather thinking that this might have been the case in the OP's situation.

I wasn't referring to the OP's case specifically. It was in reference to a poster who thought that it was the duty of the dps and healer to move, which is clearly not the optimal strategy.

Muzy sums it up pretty well.

Sharing the responsibility simply helps shrink the party's margin of error and in the likelihood an error should arise the consequences are less sever if not entirely negated all together. Besides it's not going to hurt your dps or hps to take a half second to move a few yalms when needed. People need to learn to do this anyways earlier on if they ever expect to clear various endgame content like Titan-Ex.
