PSA: Don't pull 3 Faceted Foes (plus mobs) without a group tank

Now that Faceted Foes are spawning in the Night Market, and instance populations seem to be up (yay!), just a reminder: if you don't have a group tank, pulling 3 Faceted Foes at once (plus their associated mobs) will just keep wiping your group. Honestly, even if you do have a tank, if group DPS is low, 3 Faceted at once will be VERY challenging.
Tonight, I watched several groups pull multiple Faceted Foes at once, continuously wipe for 10-15 minutes, and never try a smaller pull. I try to help out while I"m doing my quests, but if your group won't even lower pull size when it's clear the group can't handle the bigger pull... your group isn't getting far.
Sorry if this sounds harsh, but it's said to help groups improve. There's nothing "bad" about pulling FEWER things, if it's what your group can successfully handle.

Taarente✭✭✭It's actually quite easy to find yourself pulling these bosses, depending on where you are located if you happen to aggro one of their adds or trashpacks without realising it. Quite often a district will have a few faceted bosses in close proximity to each other.5 -

✭There was a bug where no faceted spawned. People learned that trash pulls do not have anything higher than elites. Then from one day to another, the faceted were back and now they are everywhere. I suppose people are not used to it. But pain is a good teacher. They will learn.2 -

Counter-Point: Do pull 3 at once. It's much much funnage to tank!

Considering a Faceted is basically a Brazen with fewer adds, sure. I tanked one Faceted with my duo partner, and it was as much work for us as a Brazen for... a piece of gear. Woo.0 -

What buff? Oh Exsanguinate? Yeah, it wasn't as good as in IA. Not worth the effort imo.0
