He's a tank.
Surely he can tank such petty damage without assistance

Ok I'm a templar healer and I heal just fine, no complaints always get feedback and 'ty' after dungeons, last night I ran into my first stand-off with other players (3 of them obviously knew each other and I was the pug) during the Skoria fight in vCOF (which I've completed many times) when the tank was targeted with the Flame Spout attack (the ground fire fountain that lasts about 10 secs and shoots lines of flame in all directions) he wouldn't move out of it, just stand there in the middle of it and take mad damage and eventually die, the team blamed me saying I should stack 3xHealing Spring and 1xBoL and repeat, I simply asked the tank to side step out of the middle if the Flame Attack so he wasn't taking mad damage but he refused and told me to do my job, now this really annoyed me 1) was a bit rude 2) I had never seen a tank just stand there and expect to be healed thru it. Am I being too precious here, being asked to heal thru it? Was he being too stubborn by not simply side stepping? And yes I probably could heal thru it, but I got annoyed at the teams insistence that he "shouldn't have to" move. Maybe he's used to being healed thru it, I'm certainly not used to seeing a tank do that tho ... A very uncomfortable standoff

i will put this here for you, it made me laugh when i first started to be a healer. and i find it REALLY true. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DxS7eT_ky4

God has selected them for extinction.
ROFL

If the tank is "standing in the stupid" s/he better know they can survive with little extra support from the healer. I used to be the healer in our normal runs and our tank would only forgo moving for ease of control when we out geared the content. If the tank was standing in damage and taking excess damage s/he was not geared nor prepared. Control CD's and your own healing if you plan to be lazy.

In short, they are not as good a player as they think and are most likely being carried by the healer and dps.

As far as etiquette goes, for all of us in a group, I would suggest that "complaints" about another player's skill or technique be taken up in whispers. There's no reason to *** all over your teammate(S) in group chat.

I've been on both sides of this- either giving or receiving the blunt advice. It always go better when whispered. Nobody wants to be shown up.

As a Healer you can get a group in less then 1 minute, they probably have to wait an hour...
Just leave and never look back! Some people are just not worth it

Anyone that can't double tap a key to get out of a red AOE deserves to die. PERIOD. Tanks do not just stand in one spot for an entire fight. So if a tank doesn't want to block also does that mean that it's the Healers fault when they die as well...UMMM NO.....
