is this a common occurrence?

"You ate aoe. The damage is not healable." That is what I tell bad tanks. I had a tank in T13 eating the large megaflare circles and dying then trying to blame me. My response? "You keep eating the megaflare circles. There's nothing I can do about that."

Yeah in Brayflox NM there was this tank that just kept running forward for the last boss AoE and kept getting clipped. It was like they were afraid to turn left or right where it's easy to dodge. The boss won't move by doing so.

Gotta love that OT, not even DPS make megaflare big circle mistakes. Bad tanks wonder why they can take so much damage with mitigation and still possibly die on the initial large pull in Haukke Manor HM, simply by eating all those AoEs. Never mind everyone is i110 sync'd.

HM HM is my favorite dungeon to tank. I love pulling the entire basement in one pull (all enemies between second and third bosses). A good tank with a decent healer, or a decent tank with a good healer, can do it no problem, and it's super fun! A bad tank...... yeah, not going to happen with all those AoEs. The damage is so high from the giant pull that eating even one AoE can kill you faster than the healer can heal you.
