Should tanks ask to do big pulls?

[Zaranghae]

Also to paladins who do big pulls, use your stun action when CDs are down for extra mitigation. 6 seconds on every monster is essentially a free Hallowed Ground and eventually diminishes to 3, then 1. You won't run out of TP.

Ehhhhh. Hallowed Ground is 10 seconds though, which would be the equivalent of the full stun chain on each mob. The thing is, with how long the GCD is you can only have 2-3 mobs disabled at any one time. The last stun for 1 second arguably isn't worth it outside of stopping a mechanic. Add to that the fact that you need to use Flash every so often to keep aggro on a big pull. Yeah stunning stuff is great for mitigation, but I think you're overstating how much it actually mitigates just a bit here. As for the TP, chain stunning is really TP intensive and Paladin has no way to restore that TP during a fight. You can only stun so many times in a row before you run dry, so again I don't feel it's fair to call stunning mobs a "free Hallowed Ground".

If you have a WHM, good luck stunning anything anyway. xD

I have a habit of taking the blame even when it's clearly not my fault, but I don't really ask if a Healer is comfortable with it either either, I tend to assume that they are. If they mention that they are new to a run then I certainly won't do anything too demanding, albeit if you are at the end-game dungeons then you might want to mention that you're inexperienced with healing large pulls and may not be up to standard just yet.

I wouldn't say you should blame a Tank for making an assumption in this case. Even if I checked your gear, I likely wouldn't know what's decent and what's not to be honest. Ideally, both parties should be humble and not put the blame anywhere.
If you know that a run is often subject to large pulls then you should speak up. If it catches you off-guard and you end up wiping then simply apologise and explain yourself but by no means feel bad for it. The only person worth a bit of scorn and ridicule is the one who chooses to make a big deal of it and proceeds to talk down to the other party.

Nice tip!
