Marking is a useful tool and it doesn't hinder anything at all. If, as a tank, you stop marking and DPS attack the other mob and draw aggro, then you are to blame, not the DPS. Being on the same mob as the tank usually works, but sometimes that tank has to switch to draw aggro on another mob. Marks keep people focused on one mob so the tank can switch without having people switch with him.

As a healer, having aggro issues is a problem. The marking helps to minimize aggro problems.

Other people have explained marking. So I won't get into that part. But it sounds like you are a problem as a dps and why marking needs to happen. As far as sleep though, you didn't say over using sleep you said.

There is a big difference between over using cc and using cc to better control the fight and help the party succeed.

Yeah because a thread full of 200 people telling us how they forgot Shield Oath once or healed a dungeon in Cleric Stance by accident would be so refreshing?

Not sure what the complaint is... Medica II has a Regen attached, but high a MP cost. Medica has the same coverage, costs much, much less, but isn't nearly as potent.

Would you rather a healer NOT do everything they can to get everyone up fast and as least costly as they can? Or let my melee DPS go down since level 50 plus bosses have crazy fast AOEs that are a pain to dodge and just cure spam the Tank alone?

Hell, Cure III gets hit if everyone is clustered together enough. And regen. Regen everyone.

Tanks who pull one trash mob at a time in CT of all places, because 24 people is just not enough to kill two imps.

White Mages who use Medica II, then immediately spam Medica til everyone's at full health anyway

Summoners who position their pets in front of bosses
Black mages who use sleep, ever, for anything.

Going off of some of your strange complaints, can I add "getting stuck with this guy in a dungeon" to the list? :p

The complaint, which isn't a complaint because this isn't a complaint thread, is healers using medica II, then spamming medica to full health, and letting a good 20 seconds worth of medica II go to waste when the dps don't get hit again.

I'm not sure I like the implication that I haven't fought level 50 bosses.

That seems more circumstantial, but I understand that point. Its more fearing more oncoming attacks overpowering the Medica II regen, and if you're hammering Medica with only one or two people needing the heals, you are white maging wrong.

I never intended to imply you haven't fought lvl 50 stuff. I meant to empathize that melee have it extra rough with damage mitigation verses ranged at the highest levels. (has war flashbacks of turn 2 and mistral's ballad)

If that what amuses you then sure.

Something that always makes me laugh. Naked Lalafells. They seem to follow me into duty finders.

Since when do the DPS control the flow of the dungeon?
