    To the OP, I'm fine with soft enrages like M4. It exists so there is an upper limit but it's very forgiving. Or even something like Deathgaze Hollow in Dun Scaith. Still very forgiving but also a definite hard stop on the fight timer.
    Zero? I know the fights and know how to play the game. Hilarious that everyone's retort is to seemingly think that I get vuln stacks in the first place.

    Whether you eat vuln stacks or not, the reason you're alive isn't because you're awesome, it's because you're a tank. If you do all the mechanics perfectly and you are a healer or a DPS, you're not going to be soloing the boss from 20%.

    Adding onto this as a healer main, I've seen more tanks refuse to use their abilities that help fellow party members, so they could focus on keeping themselves alive (even if I can keep them alive, and have), or just focus on DPS.

    I saw so little of it that when it happened, I was surprised to actually learn tanks had abilities that can keep the party alive.
