Tanks holding fights hostage in Roulettes

[TojiSuzuhara]

Not dying to mechanics and doing the properly to avoid damage is considered hostaging now? Interesting.

i guess you missed the part where i mentioned there were new people to the fight. tell me you didn't read it without telling me you didn't read it

It’s being selfish. It’s easy to survive on a tank, especially warrior. Those same people would be dead on any other job. A bit of courtesy goes a long way.

I do it all the time. We have some pretty decent self sustain but it is not some crazy thing. The guy here was probably geared with the latest stuff. It makes us look invincible lol

We still die I promise you.

That gear is barely relevant in Valigarmanda normal because it level syncs the gear. By extension this item level syncs it also. Provided you are even in level 95-97 leveling gear, you already outgear the fight and will sync down.

Rarely. I had a healer die in expert a few times the other day. Duo'd a boss and continued to kill a big pull with the DPS as if the healer didn't matter, because they didn't.

I do think it is ridiculous. I don't think there should be a specific type of attack that happens only when everyone else dies. But I think some very basic things should happen that used to happen in Heavensward:

heavy auto attacks such that it cannot be handled by the tank alone and requires a healer, Ahk Morn stack markers that with enough frequency are beyond what the tank can realistically invuln and mit through, adds that themselves deal so many autos that if there isn't and OT and healers it's over.

Too bad that isn't really what's happening with tanks.

Tanks should die to mechanics like everybody else instead of eating vulnerability stacks for breakfast or taking stack markers alone.

Problem is everything is tuned around hardcore. Only non disruptive option for casual content is, as someone else suggested, implementing a failsafe that kills tanks who do this.

SE is unfortunately not going to moderate someone even if they griefed you for a half hour.

This is a tough one... it's more of a courtesy to make the right judgement call here. Tanks who just do it from a high percentage left are kinda just being rude. At the same time, if the group is dieing alot and not learning.. maybe the tank just wants to finish it. Square would have to introduce a mechanic to handle this or a timer. If tank is alive only for like 3 mins then reset the fight.

But I'm sure that would piss off other people
