Why does everyone blame the tank?

[AngelicSence]

Let me tell you a story. I'm currently farming Zodiac weapon final upgrade as of patch 2.25, called Animus. In order to get that weapon, I have to run every low level dungeons. So.. Just 2 days ago, I was in vigil party (level 41 dungeon). There was a tank lv43, equipped with lv20 gear. He couldn't tank at all. Issue was that he can't keep aggro and I had to heal everyone in my group.. It was intense, but we made it there. Before that happened, I had to go through all the drama. I said this to a tank "do you use flash? If you are new, don't afraid to ask me" his reply was "Sh"" up and do your job". I had no choice, but to abandon the dungeon before things escalate badly. but that motion was denied... What could I do. For the sake of others, I decided to stay and help. Every time our tank ran into group of mobs, instead of using flash he shouted "graaaaajdjfldhkd". I said him to focus, but I got blamed from other memeber, dps (archer) -- she said, I'm a dumb healer". Does that make sense to you?. I think it was worst experience I ever had in any MMOs. So, my point is.. Don't listen to others. People can only give advice. Don't let them fool you. It's just not right. You should be respected and not thrown away.

I have heard newbies DPS simply saying "i don't like healers, they are dumb" ^^; So I will never suggest anyone to play healers.

Snip.

Were you eating any breaths? I remember my first Brayflox run as a healer a long time ago. The tank ate EVERYTHING. And was dragging out the fight by not moving the boss fast enough. I ran out of MP (was using free cure) and we wipe. The tank says I suck. I, and the dps, tell him he was taking too much damage. He calls us all trolls "just like the last party" and leaves. So obviously he can't dodge, and after being told that he blames everyone else. I don't see how poison alone can kill you, if the healer was healing, even if he wasn't esuna'ing. Then again I don't remember how often or potent the poison is because I haven't run that in months and months.

It's been a while for me too, but IIRC, the poison stacks. One stack, no problem; two stacks, no problem; three stacks, you croak PDQ.

Especially if you're also failing to dodge the breath attacks.

Because you're looking at one occurrence and saying every instance is the same? Because you're bothered enough by an idiot Dragoon (of all things) that it effects your interest in doing something you like?

I've never met these people lol

I once got blamed for wiping in Brayflox because the tank was taking so much damage that it was just easier to have to heal a bard kite tank. Like, literally, if I stopped healing this guy long enough to heal another player, dude would just fall over dead. I told them that when I was criticized and we downed everything up to Aitar without a tank.

I kind of find it hard to believe a lot of these players exist.

To be honest I don't care at all what people with no experience have to say in those low level dungeons. I was leveling my WHM when I was in brayflox normal mode and I healed the tank Dr Doctor I remember his name and I got aggro of all targets. I asked nicely to work more with flash since he was a paladin and he told me to check my rotation?

I explained to him that I only was casting 2 normal cure and I got aggro but he insisted it was my fault.
Remember that we have ALL kind of players in this game so you have to deal with that.

We had another group in which the DPS (monk) was marking targets and not letting the tank get aggro or pull, he just told the tank that he was the DPS and he is the one who should be marking and the tank SHOULD take the aggro from him.

There is no reason. There's no reason to not do your class quests which guide you to your job quest anyways. If you're above 30 and don't have your job yet, then you are being lazy, simple as that

This is some of the problem, some do not do their job to the fullest. Some people do, they excel at their job. I got a PLD that I know if he see's someone get hate, run to him and he'll cast cover so I can restore HP and he can grab hate. SMN's who don't raise when people are dying but things aren't going well. A well timed Mantra can really help make things go smoother, taking a knock back from dmg on bard to help cast ballad etc... there's so many things that people just don't do because if it hinders them at all but could potentially help the run but make it longer..a lot won't.

Then there's those DPS who just stand in the middle of every AoE / line of sight..like deer starring into headlights..they just go right for it!

5 pages in and not a single person bothers to mention that Scholars can use Adlo to absorb the poison damage.

I feel a strike coming on...let them know what they're missing.
