From context I'm assuming mob selection priority. I think that's only really a problem when all the monsters are at low HP. I should probably talk to a black mage in more length about how best to compliment that style. I have been working on assumptions made, but haven't taken into account that spells might be negated mid-cast if the high HP mob winds up dying. I seem to get paired up with black mages a lot, and roulettes usually go by quickly and painlessly so I think I'm doing something right.
I just think last night's roulette was goofy with the tank getting upset by that. I'm not certain I took hate. I do occasionally from lesser-geared/skilled tanks where I'm focusing down a trash mob, but they die quickly and Perfect Dodge and stun and Second Wind are good for survival. This seldom happens when I'm dancing between the monsters though so I'm still unclear what he was upset about and why and never really had a chance to explain myself after the run was over. It wasn't a bad experience. Just a head-scratching one.
