Remember When Tanks Asked Before Large Pulls?

When I decided to tank! Just as well because it was the world's worst AST. I offered some advice as I'm lower geared on mine and managed to heal large pulls fine with good cooldown management and got my head bitten off. Apparently they've been playing since the start.

There's no point in large pulls if your group doesn't have the aoe capacity. All it does is prevents the healer from doing some damage because the tank needs constant healing for long periods due to lack of aoe.

MMO players are in general sheep and have no idea why they do stuff just that everyone else does it so that's how it must be done.

Or maybe I'm casting protect. It gets super annoying when a tank runs off, and then I have to cast it again.

Here we go again.

Man, WTB Vault HM that actually keeps the "hard" factor of the leveling version. Maybe even more difficult.

Nowadays if you do a small pull people will complain. And its really rare for the DF to match you up with no range dps. Lately I have been getting 2 range dps in my runs, just the other day I got 2 SMN. In Expert roulette these particular 2 dungeons scream big pulls, no questions asked.

The Healer has enough AoE to make it worth it. Unless of course, this is an afk heal only healer.

Swiftcast is a thing.

I'm not going to waste my swiftcast on a spell that doesn't take very long to cast. It should be saved for raises, in the event that a party member dies.

I think you need to take a seat over there. How are you feeling? Would you like some tea?

Nearly every set up has suffecient damage to make large pulls better than "stop and go" for every group of enemies. If damage is not good enough or the tank is taking too much damage, then they aren't making proper use of skills and abilities. Do you have to pull the whole dungeon? No. But 3 monsters at a time is a snoozefest at 60.

What dungeon are you doing that requires a swiftcast for raise 1 minute after the start? If it is that soon they are better off returning to the entrance without weakness lol
