    And harassing a tank that wasn't deliberately trolling? God forbid someone want to have a relaxed run in an easy dungeon. Arguing that your party's efficiency is ruined because "l33t AoE DPS!!!" is asinine. If the party was THAT good you should cleave through smaller mobs at a satisfying pace that equals or comes close to larger pulls.
    If your single target DPS is not lower than your multi-target DPS, then :
    1) You are clueless.
    2) And even if that's the case for someone, then the AOE's are useless and need to be balanced.

    Or, perhaps, you're comparing yourself to another class ? then you missed the whole point.

    No, I'm just saying in terms of versatility, I don't find anything to complain about either way. The amount of time shaved off of a Brayflox run gives you an extra bathroom break later, not a big deal. If we're talking about the difference in needing to mow down large groups of mobs like in T4 it's a different story. But tanks shouldn't be forced to pull more just to satisfy your AoE desires if it's not needed to increase chances of success for the party.

    I haven't done a lvl 50 dungeon as a DPS or a healer in a long time, but I don't feel forced to do anything. My pulls are made to be efficient while keeping a (good) security margin. I just don't get why a i90+ tank, with a i90+ healer, a i90+ BLM/SMN and a 2nd i90+ DPS would pull only 2/3 mobs. It "only" shaves off an extra bathroom break ? When you need 13500 myths for a weapon, 2 hundred times 3 minutes is worth several hours.
