Speedrunning: Status Buffs and Aggro Management.

[Alistaire]

Responsibility of both to an extent, as a healer try to gauge how long a fight's going to take and don't regen near the end of it.

He only used proximity (as opposed to Flash/Overpower/Tomahawk etc.) to aggro the mobs.

This is the biggest thing though. A WAR not using overpower at all is epic-level derp.

On the crazy side of the spectrum acting like this:

Tanks like these speed runners, what I like to do it let them die just as holy the rest of the mobs dead.

...well I'm just glad stuff like that is perfect grounds for dismissal.

Yep abuse that vote kick and get reported. The tank is lucky the rest of the group does not vote kick the tank for trying to wipe the group and forcing them speed run without any discussion.

Nobody wants to wipe and nobody want to be forced into a speed run that leads to wipes, and nobody is interested in waiting for a healer or replenish. If the tank wants to pull big, the tank better be able to take a big bunch of hits, and you need all the DPS you can get to clean up the mob fast. If they can't take it then pull smaller go slower, there is no shame in that. It is NOT the healers job to enable the tank to do their speed running stupidity.

It doesn't matter if I heal or tank, I don't have this kind of controversy when I run expert roulette with friends and/or the FC. But on average, once a week some bullheaded tank has to be taught this lesson the hard way.

You really think it's vote kick abuse to kick a healer that lets the party die on purpose? Thanks for the laugh. And no, it's not vote kick abuse. It's absolutely falls under valid reasons to kick. I will be specifically looking for your name in DF runs I tank from now on.

You really do not read properly. Only the tank dies, the mobs die, but the party doe not wipe. Tank goes down the same time as the mob. If they can't take the heat they should not be pulling so big. I am going all out on DPS. Too often I see a mnk and smn and the moron tank still pulls everything, and I am the primary source of AOE dps. If the I keep the fool alive, he will run right into the boss room or grab the the big bunch if gets the key to unlock the door or whatever, all the while I'd still be out of mp. I'd be fool to waste bene on a tank like that just to watch the party wipe later. So it is vote kick abuse when the tank tries to vote kick me for keeping the party from wiping.
