Well we're not really debating the merits of straight tanking versus kiting. This became an awful discussion about a single mob, that takes a minute to kill, and has an intended mechanic in place for avoiding a single ability it uses. It is, in my opinion, impossible to argue that staying in place and taking said ability to the face is more efficient than taking a few steps back to avoid it. This causes the mob to self-incapacitate. If someone cannot see that then that's pretty hopeless, again, in my opinion (not sure why I feel the need to emphasize this so much seeing as how this is a forum and those are designed for the sharing of ideas [opinions] to begin with).

Anyhow, my deepest apologies if I've contributed to the shitting up of this thread. All I can say past that is ignore what Ace says. He is quite wrong the vast majority of times he posts and I hate nothing more than people getting incorrect information and wasting their time.
