The blob boss in WP is the same: it casts Fire, which just so happens to be 90% of the damage the tank will take, and it can be completely avoided by just running behind the boss.
This. It's certainly something that most tanks don't pick up on.. Atleast not immediately. There is also the same issue with Slip Stream from HM Garuda.
