We Need to Start Expecting Mid-Level Sprouts to Play Better

[Atelier-Bagur]

To be honest, I find it reeeeally hard to believe running into tanks late in game who have yet to do the basic of basics of dungeon mob mitigation. Ive done roulettes DAILY in this game and not once have I ever encountered this issue in late game content. The only reasons I can think of for this ever happening are:

1. They're a boosty andy, didnt care for msq and wanted to hop into that sweet gravy FFXIV hype train so they wound up picking tank because they wanted to go big uh....you know what I mean and felt like they knew the game already from playing other MMOs with better combat.

2. They're a returning player, that was out from the game for a long ass time, so there was some major rust to work through.

3. Job boosty andy, used to dps or perhaps even heal but never tanked and didnt want to level another job all the way back from square 1.

Despite these reasons, that tank was just being a total prick. Anybody who legit has been ignoring how a role is supposed to work this late into the game's content has no right to get angry when people are telling them to please do the bare minimum required for the role. Also seriously dont even be a dick in general, whats wrong with you.

You've been lucky, then. I saw a no-mitigation gladiator with broken gear in the Dead Ends yesterday. He folded like paper in the first trash pull and tried to blame it on the healer.
