    Just last night i did my Expert Roulette as Sage and landed in the 90 MSQ dungeon. 6 minute elapse, standing at the first boss (A very common occurence).
    All 3 members of the party failed mechanics over and over, which caused me no small amount of stress keeping them alive.
    On the second boss, the Reaper was offered a tip on upcoming mechanics of the boss to watch out for and was told "Chill i wanna do this totally blind"
    And proceeded to mess up mechanic after mechanic.

    On the final boss, he managed to get Doomed 3 times, drawing ALL of my resources to keep him alive while the other 2 continued to fail mechanics, leading to all 3 of them being dead at one point.
    The Reaper demanding to do a blind run directly led to the Tank's death, which in turn led to the other DPS being killed by the boss when the Tank went down.
    Honestly at that point I'd just leave the reaper dead lmao
    Being new and learning is one thing, but after a certain point the dude who's dying to every other mechanic stops being worth the resources to raise. If the group can clear without them they can take the time on the ground to watch and learn the fight, cause if it's that bad it'll probably be faster to just 3 man it than to keep throwing bodies at the boss and possibly (probably) wipe again.

    At a certain point, you have to start making calls about how to spend your GCDs and MP and a guy who just cannot stay alive for a minute at a time is not a good use of either in a crisis. Sucks to be him, but if you want to do blind runs where you get a lot of uptime, it's good to be swift on the uptake.
