So I used to heal all the time in this game before taking a break; generally speaking I didn't have any issues with groups however I just had quite possibly the worst tank I've ever had the "privilege" to heal.
Long story short; Haukke Manor, I'm on my SCH and the tank is GLD with no shield. We have two DPS with no AoE at this level but tank proceeds to pull everything up to the locked door and not use any mit. We die. Trying again tank pulls slightly less but still not using mit, DEMANDS that I cleanse poison off the mushrooms that constantly apply it and tells me to stop spamming shield. I say "stop pulling so much when we don't have aoe" he tells me that he does and that I should do damage. He also proceeded to spam "door" multiple times expecting one of us to open the door so he could pull even more. We kill the first boss and I apologize to the others and leave. Silver lining he had tank stance, but he wasn't synced.
So I'm expected to not spam heal a tank who refuses to mit and pulls multiple groups of mobs when our party has no aoe, whilst cleansing non stop poisons and also doing damage? What the hell has happened during my break? Did I just get unlucky or is there some new tank meta?
