Please stop Ready Checking in front of the bosses

It's slowing down your progress and extending the time you have to be in the duty. This thread I'm talking about daily dungeons and the casual 24 man raids, not trials and 8 man raids. People want to clear them as fast as possible so waiting 20+ seconds just so you can save Kass is not really a good idea. And as I said, they should do Armor Crush on the last trash mob so they can save everything they want, just need a tank who understand it.

Hmm...let's see... Waiting 20 seconds so 15 DPS can optimize openings probably saves more time in the long run than it costs. It also allows healers to buff the party and be able to enter cleric stanced. It also ensures no one is locked out of the fight. Players locked out of a fight due to a rushing tank do 0 DPS.

Indeed, I much prefer to tackle a boss when everyone is not read! Please stop ready checking!

Please stop Ready Checking in front of the bosses
They implemented the countdown feature for us, use it.

Please understand how much damage dealer classes hate this Ready Check pop-up when they're preparing for their opener

Speak for yourself. Ready Check -> Countdown is great, if the boss is actually complex at all (i.e. extreme primal). If it is in an expert roulette or something, Tank just go when you see everyone is there.


Oh read a bit more and saw we are talking about 24 person dungeons? We don't need to prepare for this. The most we need is to just ensure everyone is there (always seems to be 1 afk person who only told their party and not the alliance). In this situation, Ready Check, but who cares about the countdown.

It's not, because the fight hasn't even started yet...

The whole dungeon is one long continuous fight when I'm in charge, we've not gone to Xelphatol for a picnic.

NIN complains, does nothing, refuses raises, and leaves.

Sadly, a lot of people support the idea of slow running and trying to find reasons to do everything slowly. I'm glad I have Shadewalker.

but you're the one who wants a countdown timer for an expert roulette 0.o

Visually seeing a light party present and accounted for is much simpler than visually seeing an alliance is present and accounted for.

If people in alliance are outside targeting range, their job icon is faded out. If everyone is close enough to be targeted, they are close enough to make it in before the 15 second lockout.

The thing that annoys me the most about ready check is on dungeon bosses. I'll target the boss and click the menu to choose focus target, only to have that menu slapped away by a pointless ready check.

I'd rather have countdown 5s than ready check. But I'm fine with insta pull too.
