So if you're not at the top of the aggro list then the tankbuster isn't going to target you, but if there's a non-CC ability that can target any character, it will target the player 100% of the time. (CC abilities would be like when a player can't move or act because their teammates have to break them out; these don't target the player when possible, presumably because they want you to do the breaking out part)

And as you mentioned, the player's death ends combat with no chance to revive, so that's another extra layer of difficulty that comes from doing it solo.


I hope you've found a home here as well! Welcome!
Could you give an example of this? As the only time I've ever been hit by something that normally wouldn't hit me as the role I'm on is when I'm running a dungeon with my GC squadron. I have trusts all to 90 and ran every MSQ dungeon more than once with duty support while leveling up classes and to see different comments they make. It's how I know Alphinaud is the only one to cure you of misery when running Gubal Library. Or that the npcs will Aoe just not as often as most would prefer. And why I'm sad that Urianger doesn't whip out death in Endwalker.
