"Taking a stand" quest

[bebop_bo]

Since the beginning of Stormblood, Square Enix has forced us to play as an NPC character in an MSQ event. In my case, it's always been a class/job that I never wanted to play, have no interest in playing, and have no experience playing.
This game is supposed to be fun, not an opportunity for some sadistic moron game designer to frustrate players needlessly.
Well, "Taking a stand" is the worst of all, IMHO. I'm sure that some players enjoy this sort of thing, and that's fine, keep it in the game. BUT DON'T MAKE IT PART OF THE MSQ!
I have tried multiple times to pass this, and failed each and every time. I am unable to discern ANY difference in difficulty between the normal mode and what is laughably called "very easy." It's not at all "very easy," as my repeated attempts and repeated failures evidence.
I find the mechanics difficult to understand and difficult to counter; I lose health for no apparent reason. In the end, I die, and I never know why. It's impossible to learn when I never know why.
This is the sort of idiotic game design that will chase casual players away. It should either be nerfed or removed.

Second this, SE should give there heads a wobble, playing a "tank" type class, is NOT for me, if i wanted to play a tank, then i would, forcing it upon players or you cant continue with game isn't a bright move, just another fk up from SE, ive only just renewed my subs after a break from game then this cr@p comes up! .. yeh my skills suck etc etc which is how i got to L96 :P ah well, not gonna continue trying, its boring, its dull when you are forced to play a class. Back to Embers Adrift & New World for me. Well done SE youve just lost another sub due to very poor game design.

btw when the orbs pop up i dont get any green orb, theyre all red, so guess its bugged as well :P

Wuk Lamat doesn't play like a tank in the solo fight; she's a DPS with an axe.

Is this why everyone has such a huge problem with this fight? They think "Wuk Lamat's a tank, I have to be tanking" and hunt around for nonexistent mitigation buttons instead of attacking?
