Plus, having gear so terrible your healer can do nothing but heal spam you through single pulls just to keep the party going slows things down considerably. The healer can't contribute much dps and the tank isn't doing anywhere near the damage they should either.

It's just inconsiderate behavior to expect others to pick up your slack like that. Even more so if you, like OP, are going to berate the group as you do so. It's one thing to be ignorant and another to be willfully entitled.
That’s fair. You’re entitled to your opinion. However OP did say that he completed the dungeon with another party. We have no idea how fast or slow it was. I’m just saying I always check just to gauge how I’m going to focus and I don’t think that’s an issue.

Remember the 73 dungeon at the beginning of Shadowbringers and the level 79 dungeon? I honestly had tanks in level 70 left side gear all the way and yeah had to do a little bit more healing but it wasn’t to a point where I was spamming. I was still playing mostly how I usually play. I think people jumped on the gear wagon once someone brought up his lodestone profile. Just shows people are mostly followers.

I empathize with OP. If I was his healer I would of never done what the team did to him. He’s the tank. He sets the pace of the dungeon. He even said he saw them moving forward and went along happily. I know some tanks who are like “You grab it you tank it” people need to understand it’s a team effort. If he is the tank and he’s keeping aggro that’s what’s important. Work as a team to get the dungeon done. Simple. Don’t make things harder.
