As for the shrikes ect, I have a newly minted tank, she has starter tank gear and doesn't even have all skills fully leveled yet (she used to be a healer but got a role change). She has no problem surviving even the shrikes assuming I can tell something is incoming. Problem is that even on top of the "lack of red" the shrikes power attacks appear to be not signaled at all, or happens when they're up in the air and you can't tell wtf they're doing. Perma block helps here but is boring.

Ofc you can survive anything if you see the attack telegraph. That's the issue with Shrikes:

1. Their telegraphs is dark purple. If you are focusing on another boss, or a larger, bright AoE is already down, you may not seek the Shrike fly up, or very easily miss the dark purple patch on the ground.

2. The DoT tick for the Shrike attack is 7-9k. It ticks 2x per second. By the time you realize you're standing in it, you're dead. The only way to survive is not to stand in it at all... IF you can see and move in time. Depending on how many Shrikes are up at once (I've seen as many as 4) that gets pretty difficult.
