@Sharlatan: It doesn't matter whose job it is to kill the totems; if they're not getting killed and people are dying from them, it's everybody's problem. Obviously it was a problem in my run with the rest of the group not performing the mechanics because they all thought someone else would do it for them. That means they were doing it wrong. And sure, there's normally not much damage, EXCEPT FOR WHEN THE TOTEMS ARE LEFT UP, which was the entire point of what I said. And I never said anything about it needing to be tanked. I don't know what comment you read, but it doesn't seem like mine.

And how am I being full of myself by remarking on people not doing fight mechanics? No one killed the totems; people died. That's it; it's that simple. I guess I am saying I'm better than them because I did the fight mechanics, but so are most other players I've run with. Doing fight mechanics is supposed to be average, the baseline. If you want to crusade for everyone's right to ignore mechanics if they want, wonderfully, but I pray I never group with you.
