Is there anything else I should be doing when it comes to taking hits? I went into the manor (lv 28) and dropped dead from the skeletons on the stairs (too much damage after falling away from the healer), losing aggro to the black mage and bard consistently even through provoke and the aggro chain I have available to me, and then dropped dead again during the boss fight when all the adds spawned in and demolished me through thrill of battle and rampart and having all kinds of trouble getting threat under wraps while everything chased the team around (mainly the dps) after getting raised.

I know for sure that was the literal worst run of the night...though granted the others were synced to the 31 cap, but I don't think I could grovel shamelessly enough to make up for it >.>
