Finally moved out of the Novus stage into Nexus on my relic, and got thrown straight into some stupid.
I got into a Darkhold with a REALLY well-geared tank. Like, full poetics/WoD gear with ice axe and a couple other raid trinkets. Cool, we can power-pull and breeze through it, right?
He pulls half the mobs in the first area and tries tanking them outside the light. I tell him to move into the light when he Holmgangs, he asks "Light"? And then promptly dies. As does the DPS. I had moved to the light and somehow managed to keep myself healed with all those mobs on me until he shows up to take them back.
I ask him if it's his first time in here, he said it was. Okay, that's fine. I can explain things. We get through the first boss just fine with some explanations. However, in the next area he tries to mass pull AGAIN, and gets us all killed. I tell him he needs to pull one group at a time and, after an accidental larger pull in the area with the patrolling frogs causes a third wipe, we get through and down the second boss.
Third area? Yup, he tries to pull EVERYTHING. I'm a bit miffed at this point and I say: "Oh hey. You pulled more than one group." And just leave it at that.
He responds that there was no reason why I couldn't keep him healed. So, apparently it's my fault we wiped four times because I should totally be able to heal him tanking more than he can handle. Get through that BS (and the NIN sticking to the last boss even when he's invulnerable, to include putting a LB into him while the crystal was still up) and finish the instance. One commendation, no dungeon atma.
Wee.
