Not sure when this became a thing, but...

Not every* healer can heal through the bombs in A2N. Please, for the love of all things, DRIVE THE MACHINE.

There were countless times where DPS was slow AND Bombs were spammed while waves were stacking.

With people now overgeared, it's the age old classic "outgear the mechanics" problem.

Skipped mechanics and aggressive strategies impact healers the most.

Healers should always be the number one determining factor with any skipped mechanic or aggressive strategy.

If the healer says "no," you listen.

If the healer says "jump," you say "how high?"

If the healer says "for the love of the Twelve, Tank, will you PLEASE equip you Fending gear?" then you equip your Fending gear.

I've had more than one group with healers who heal through the bombs. If I have a WHM with me, we can just fluid aura/blank the bombs instead of putting someone in the walker anyhoo.

You mean the classic problem of lazy ass players who can't be bothered to play the machanics and assume everyone overgears content and therefore play the game in 'stupid easy mode'?

You know, to all those overgeared mechanic skipping, players out there, I'm just going to say it; even if YOU overgear content, everyone else may not and to be honest you can't be a very good player if your way to beat something is to over gear it. If you are as good as you would have others believe, the play the damn mechanics, otherwise people should assume the only way you can beat stuff is by exploiting power creep in gear.

I could see ignoring them in a premade, but assuming you can do so in DF may make your healers unhappy.

I know I hate seeing extra damage go out cause it cuts into my DPS time. :p

A Ilvl 209 BLM should not drive, but I still end up driving because no one does it. (or sucks at it)

Mechanics are like adds, ignore them... until the SMN gets sick of being reduced to floor marmalade and drives. And everyone screams at the SMN for getting sick of wiping because wiping a few times is faster than following mechanics.
