Paladin Tank Mentor (with the Dragonsong Reprise Ultimate weapon)

We got The Tam-Tara Deepcroft - not difficult per-se... except the Tank kept doing massive pulls. First attempt - we wipe due to being overwhelmed by the huge pull. I request the Tank slows down a little and explain that the Healer is new to healing and the Pugilist appears to be new in general
No response, and tank charges off again, and does the same thing again. The team wipes again.
I again ask the Tank to cool it a little. No reply. We wipe again due to being overwhelmed.
Tank proceeds to blame us ("Ninja and Pugilist are too far behind"). Felt like pointing out that AOE options at that level were pretty much none but figured there was little point as Tank clearly didn't care. Healer points out that they can't keep up with healing us through such big pulls. No response.
We go again, with the tank again demonstrating no interest in changing his behaviour - we just about survive SuperTank's behaviour and finish the instance.
Tank says GG. No-one replies.

So-called Mentors like that are such a bore.
Fun fact if the mentor in question is reading this: PUG/MNK gets aoes the earliest at 26, caster/ranged gets theirs at 15ish, and healers get their aoes at 45. Everyone else gets theirs at 35-40. Only tanks have a singular aoe at lvl 6 or lvl 10. Having a DSR weapon means absolutely nothing at this point as there's a good chance it was PayPal'ed.

Tam-Tara is an 18-cap dungeon, so if the melee had the level, they would not be able to use it due to level sync. Level sync. LEVEL SYNC. That thing that brings your level down as if you could not get over that baby gate due to it being too high.

Large pulls can be done, but there has to be at least one ranged dps in the party to actually do it, otherwise you're just gonna have a slog of a time. At that point where the mentor was blaming the rest of the party I would just have called the mentor an idiot at not realizing what jobs have what at x level. Personally I would've just simply waited out loot timers and booted them if they were going to act like that.
