They have a couple jutsus that help with AoE... the slowing ground thing and the AoE fire breath, but that's about it, really. Otherwise all you can really do is either spam Blossom or just tab around and try and get your two dots up on everything.
I'm still kinda finangling my way through playing Ninja, really, so I'm not really the best person to talk about it. Still, new to the dungeon, playing a relatively new class, some slack should be given.
...
I had myself a REAL dumb tank earlier today, though. Leveling BRD and queued for a Low-Level Roulette and got Copperbell - GLD, WHM, ROG. Sure, no problem.
First pull, I notice the GLD isn't using Flash. So the other two mobs immediately start hitting the WHM since he's not doing anything to generate enmity on them. I shoot at them to grab some aggro and we finish it up no problems.
We take the elevator down, he just sort of... stands there for a good two to three minutes until I get frustrated and move forward to pull the little pack of two myself. Tank waddles after and starts solo-hitting one of them, again not putting any effort into the other mob.
It... kinda keeps happening like this. We ask him to use Flash, including using (Flash) (Please use this.) in case he can't understand English. Continues to say nothing, continues to solo-attack things. Continues to have these minute long or longer pauses before every pull unless I grab it first, which gets the Rogue to whining "Let him tank, he has to learn how!" Despite the GLD apparently being synced down along with myself and the WHM.
We get to the second boss and I jokingly comment "Taking bets on how badly he does on this one." Sure enough, he kills the first bomb and then spends the rest of the fight standing around while the WHM and then I take up the mantle of tanking in his stead.
At that point I basically had enough and told the group I was going to votekick the guy since we're basically doing his job for him. Rogue's all "Nooooo" about it, but the GLD gets booted and replaced by another GLD who is quite new, but both attentive and talkative. The Rogue who was so eager to let the previous GLD fail his wait through before is suddenly right along with me and the WHM when we jokingly tell the new tank how bad our last tank was.
Not sure if the guy was a bot, a bad troll, or just really stupid.
