What is with people?

[OpticalHat]

I was the BLM in this group.

OP stole the boss from MT and proceeded to bounce the boss between NE and NW corners until finally settling on NE. OP positioned the boss sideways, so that the Larboard/Starboard Wave Cannon mechanic would hit 90% of the room (instead of 50-60%). Members of our group attempted to communicate with OP in party chat during the encounter, but the attempts were met with silence. OP did acknowledge a waymark that was thrown up at North, but still faced the boss sideways making positioning awkward and some mechanics more difficult to deal with. OP was in Shield Oath for the entire duration, and use the enmity combo over and over and over and over again. After the wipe, additional communication attempts were met with silence. I believe that is what prompted the vote kick and removal from party.

Mechanics can be learned. Play styles can be adjusted. Laughs and good times can be had. I'm pretty sure we'd have no issues with new players or others who run the content blind. But your rogue attitude throughout the entire encounter was counter-productive, disruptive, and justifiable grounds for the vote kick. You're even missing several useful abilities from your class' toolkit and cross-class skills (Royal Authority, Goring Blade, Holy Spirit, Rampart, Convalescence, etc.) as logs can prove.

Perhaps you can try being humble and receptive towards learning more about your class. There's always room for improvement, even though you clearly believe that you've reached the pinnacle of paladin tanking based on your responses in this thread. And while the insult was unnecessary, I believe the sentiment is valid. A good player in a MMO goes beyond doing well in their own job/class/profession/trade and makes the effort to communicate and work together with others as a team.
