    Except from experience from every run all parties run and attack one goliath tank while a tank is left alone bar maybe 2 dps with them that end up getting agro when the tank dies.
    I've yet to see a run where there have been seperate parties for each goliath.

    All runs I have done never seen this happen. I see parties staying together as a group. Most time I see them using markers for them.

    Hold up.

    Last boss, "Engage Goliath Tank Support" fires, dropping two tanks on the field. Both tanks will tank buster multiple times. Kill both. Boss picks one at random to explode, where the raid has to run to the opposite corner to hide behind the corpse of the other tank, wait for the explosion, and then run back out to avoid the explosion of the corpse they just used as cover.

    There are two tanks being engaged simultaneously - not three... Not the adds phases of the bosses in this zone where A B and C separate, but two corners of the field.

    If one of my healers told me I was on the wrong tank for that specific part, where there is no set or accepted placement of A B and C (at least from what I have seen, and I think I've ran this as a tank now moire times than I care to admit to), then that screams to me the healer is just trying to cover their own mistakes.

    Healers INTENTIONALLY not staying in range of their tank, for whatever reason, is bad form and bad play. Just like it's bad form to AFK through a Labryrinth alliance run cause you know they won't get a vote off before the 5 minute window, and the loot will protect you the rest of the time.

    Typically, but not always, and at least on Aether.... Whoever is tanking the boss stays in the middle. When the goliath tanks are dropping, the other two tanks generally tank stance up and grab them. Not always, though, and sometimes the MT will try to grab all three for no reason at all. But that's not concrete.

    Now if A's tank role was at C's spot in an ABC adds phase, that's different. That's when saying something about wrong spot, over here, ac "Rescue" or something comes into play.
