Low-level leveling roulette, sastasha. tank was a leaf gld that sprinted everywhere and only did flash. Lost hate every pull. Last room was a triple-heal party (both dps were casters) tank wouldn't listen to us trying to explain.

I was at Brayflox and the tank didn't understand that he was supposed to keep hate. He just kept spamming one WS action, never provoked, never flashed.

Didn't get past the first room, after I repeatedly told him to use provoke and flash, and he didn't - I gave up and left the instance.

Ive had the same issues in Bray Fox. Tank cant get out of the major hits, then bitches at you because you're oom from having to heal him from 20% health every few seconds.

Also Ifrit HM and people not dodging stuff or practically solo healing with without bard giving you mana song.

I just do every instance with the expectation that I'll be tanking adds. 9/10 times, that's how it goes, so I just face tank them and sleep them or die if it's that 3 pull in Stone Vigil.

The only real trouble I've had so far is Garuda, where people take a lot of unneeded damage and a couple of attempts I couldn't top someone off in time before the big aoe. Although the attempt that I killed it, I had a lot of mana entering that phase...usually I'd be oom at like 30%, so people did a good job avoiding things.

Garuda, 2x derp melee dps getting hit by everything, byebye mana. Wipe a few times b/c of my mana.

One dps says "You need to avoid taking damage so that you spend less mp healing yourself"

I was gone from that duty within 2 seconds of reading that.

I was in Thousand Eyes of Tam'taru with a decent group. The tank and arcanist were fine, competent players. Our lancer, on the other hand, had this really bad habit of running ahead and face-pulling each new pack. I probably shouldn't have healed him/her just to get the point across...but that option was left in the dirt...with our corpses...on numerous occasions. I still wonder how we managed to finish the instance. Cause let's face it, there's only so much stupid a healer can keep up with before Medica sucks your mana pool dry

I had a lancer do that once while I was healing as a CNJ. We told him to stop since our tank had troubles already, being low-leveled and low-geared. He responded that he had something to do and had to finish soon. So while we were fighting an optional group for a chest, he got ahead in the dungeon and brought the next pack to the room. I decided to not heal him. He died and asked why I didn't healed him. My response was that I "can't heal dumbness". The next few packs he only stand there looking at the 3 of us fighting, so we kicked him and got a better player for the dungeon's boss, which was right next.

I forget what dungeon I was in, but it was about lvl 30ish, and our tank was a warrior. He is taking SO much damage that I barely have time to heal the DPS when they need it, and then on the first boss I completely run out of MP healing him. After we finally down the boss I notice he isn't using Defiance, but when I told him about it he said that he didn't have the skill... So eventually the party and I directed him to find it and he activated it, but was still taking way too much damage for me to keep up, so I left the group.

Oh, that happened once in Brayflox. A tank was trying to tank everything in full dps gear. One pull I literally blinked once and he went from 75 to 0 tanking two mobs.
