When dps dont aoe should they just get kicked from the start?

I just posted actually on this in more detail. I mean yes, I can say it wasn't my last resort option but it was all that I had left. Suppose nomatter how I look at it as stated above, I was going to die because the healer wasn't using anything but cure II to try and keep me alive through a large pull.

Also I seriously think she honestly did not know the difference between the two jobs. Not a name issue. When I look at her lodestone she only had a 70 WHM. When she started going off about how I stood in three AoE, I tried to tell her, "Yes, because I had holmgang up and couldn't move." and when I said, "Now let do this my way and pull one pack of mobs at a time." she went into a fit and started saying, "Maybe you should put oath up." Yes, my Defiance was up 100% of the time. RDM in the group corrected her and said, "She's a WAR." "Maybe you should've used your defense cool downs." "I did, I went through all of them." It went back and forth until I finally just threw my hands up, stopped and said, "vote kick me. I'm not dealing with this anymore." We tried to explain it, she just wasn't getting it through her thick skull. So yes, to me having at least some knowledge of all jobs, at least your tanks as a healer would be nice.

*Small Edit - I will never claim to be a pro war, pld, or drk. I only tank dungeons and that as far as I'll go, or old content. But when I've cycled through all the cool down's I have and there nothing up but holmgang, that what I hit in the hopes that the healer would toss me a big heal and I could cycle back through my cool downs. Maybe this is a bad train of thought but it never failed me until that day.

lol, all i was saying is back when i was newer, i would say things like that (because i had pld leveled and played it and saying sword oath or shield oath is a lot simpler then the war equivalents. So I knew war and PLD was different, I just didn't know the ability names for war, so I would call out the PLD equivalent ones, like your healer did. Even now I can't spell out the war abilities too well and afraid I mix up the names so I just say tank stance.

Maybe the person in question did not know, but I did, my point is just don't have that bias.

That's basically what I'm saying. There are still single target skills you have to use. I may have made it sound more complicated. My point is, you still need to work in single target skills.

everyone here knows how to aoe .... I am sure people understand some jobs are not blm that only spam aoe things. Also bit shocked you said "wide volley" that was a big noob trap and I am sOOOOOOOOOOOO happy it was removed, helped the skill gap some.
