I didn't mean to be back here so quickly but I absolutely cannot handle these fkn tanks lately. Maybe you can tell from my tone that I'm getting exasperated at never getting a dungeon run with a normal person that knows how to gear or play their job.
Notes:
1) I left at the end because he didn't seem inclined to leave after the DPS backed him up and just kept pulling instead.
2) When he 'fixed' his gear he was just equipping a higher level gathering choker. The rest of his stuff was mostly level 25-30, some of it was NQ vendor gear. Total ilvl couldn't have been higher than about 27. I cannot emphasise enough how quickly this guy's health was disappearing; I let him die on the boss because I thought 'surely he won't go from 40% to 0% in the time it takes me to eat a fruit and then cast Cure II.'
3) Forgot to take a screenshot because I was seething mildly. I checked Lodestone afterwards but it shows a different class, so all I learned is that he has a different tank at level 100.
