Remember When Tanks Asked Before Large Pulls?

I still ask when tanking expert roulette, and people seem to appreciate it.

No... Amdapor Keep was actually the first. Remember the bees ?

And SE killed them. ;A;


Edit : Sorry, didn't see Tint already said it. ^^;

Based on the duty, I look at the healer's gear and relative level, and that determines whether I ask if a large pull is okay.

New healer in Snowcloak: "large pulls okay?" Wait for response from healer.

120-130+ geared or synced from max healer in any 50 dungeon: wait for buffs and off we go.

250+ healer in EX: wait for buffs and off we go.

Healer with mix of 200-230 gear in EX: I'm gonna assume they're a returning player and ask if they can heal a large pull here.

It's situational. Also, if I do a huge pull without asking if it's okay and I die, I'm going to apologize and take the blame.

Pull more Pond, PULL MORE.

Pharos was nerfed because it was harder than the other expert dungeon while giving the same exact rewards. People would intentionally not unlock Pharos for the roulette.

Because every tank in the game realized at the same time that tanking 12 mobs is just as easy as tanking 3. This was around the time that people whined so much that Pharos Sirius was too hard that SE decided to neuter any form of difficulty from Expert dungeon going forward.

This was also around the time that healers started complaining that people expected them to do more in dungeons than pop Medica II, Regen and then go afk.
