As a Tank who mainly does DF alone (thats how a Carreer-Tank, or someone who wants to be one, learns how to react to every possible Scenario) i encountered alot of different Groups. I always pull only one Group at the beginning to see what everyone is capable off. Though im one of those Tanks who waits for the Healer to buff the Group at the start, after that, its Rushing-Time.

Lately, its mostly Ninja and Dragoon or Monk in the DF. If the Healer is good enough, then there is no Reason not to do larger pulls if they know what they are doing.

Another thing, sometimes, its DPS who nearly wipe the Group...Just happened today: After a pretty big Pull was finished off, i´ll take the next Single Mob to regain MP and my Def-CD´s...then one DPS rushed ahead and pulls 2 big Groups...which is not a good Idea if the Tank has almost no MP and no Def-CD´s ready.
Didn´t wipe though, but its pretty annoying to try to regain MP - Flash - Sidestepping AE´s and making sure noone is getting too much Aggro (in a Scenario like that, its mostly the Healer who has the most Aggro)


So for those overeager DPS: If you get a Tank who does large Pulls all the Time and suddenly tanks only a single Mob without pulling more, then there is a Reason for that. Most of the Time its to regain MP and have some Def-CD´s ready for the next big Pull.


Back to the Topic at Hand, I´ll go as fast as i can depending on the Group composition and if there are no Complaints , i´ll continue with that Pace.
