It may seem to you he was showing off, but at the end of the day he was just doing his job well and succeeding and getting out of there. Instead of finding others succeeding annoying the attitude to take would be one of humility and committing to do better next time.

Did you explain to others the fight? Was it your first time and you didn't pay attention to your surroundings and what was going on? Did you ask if there was anything you should know before starting the fight? This is called taking responsibility and the other is called blaming others for your problems.

Pretty sure the cone AOE may have gotten one or two pieces but the room is full of them, so unless the tank was actively griefing you all there's a lot more to this story. This is a typical mentality of blaming the person being successful for the problems of those failing. It happens in life, a lot, and in this case, you are doing it to that tank.

He survived and won the battle. Unless he was grieffing he shouldn't be blamed for winning.
