Getting Kicked as a Tank from Dungeons for Power Pulls! No more for me!

Only if you don't know how to do them, otherwise they're a blast.

this.


maybe not with a SCH, but AST/WHM is just fine




On topic: I dont know...to make me wanna kick the tank after ONE failed pull, the tank has to have been beyond horrible.
Like...literally having his HP melt in 3 seconds. I actually have come across tanks who wanted to pull big and didnt mitigate at all... OR tried to mitigate,but did it the wrong way
and it was nearly impossible to keep them alive. So either youre one of these.....OR you've just really had some bad luck.
As a person who sometimes really is a magnet for people who play poorly who then blame the wipes on me (being the healer), I kinda know how it feels.

I also had a thread saying how people suddenly want me to stop DPSing as a healer. And everyone was like "wow,never happened to me".
Well, it happened to me again the other day. But thats when I just gladly eat penalty. No use arguing with these people anyway....

I think I have a higher tolerance for bad players. lol. I'll put up with most everything except for a really horrible attitude. If they're spewing insults and trash talking the group, that's what will do it for me.

well I just mean to say that....trial and error can happen and is NOT a reason for me to stop doing that big pull. Usually either me or the tank were missing a vital cooldown to make it work.
Its usually easy to tell whether a trivial thing like this made the wipe happen or whether the tank or healer arent fully aware of what theyre doing.

But sometimes you can tell within 1 pull what you just got yourself into. Like, a tank who practically did everything wrong.
And thats where I'd rather eat the penalty or just try to get the tank replaced. Although I really dont usually do that after 1 pull. I wait at least for another 2-3 pulls.

Is there even a wrong way to pop cds? Mind you I don't main tank and do it sometimes but when I pull large groups I tend to just rotate my cds around to mitigate damage. I never really thought there was a way to do them wrong.

To be fairly honest, big pulls can be done in the first two SB leveling dungeons, but afterwards they begin to hit extremely hard. I mean a double pull is manageable in say, Bardam's Mettle, but only barely, perhaps with higher gear it's more feasible since I only did it with i270, when I should've upgraded to i274.

Big pulls are a team effort.

Bardam's Mettle with a SCH last night(complete PUG group as far as I could tell), I had to use all my CDs, including Hallowed Ground, before the first wall. And that was doing small pulls(used HG three more times in there too). Wasn't watching the party list at the point to know if they were DPSing too much, but I think it was the 2nd group that the roaming monster can reach where I had to use HG.

Only if you don't know how to do them, otherwise they're a blast.

And if you have the right party composition. If I have a BLM + anything I will test the waters with a large pull to begin with(partially to test DPS, partially to test healing).

Bolded: See above...

Underlined: I've only ever kicked tanks for three things:

1. Throwing a hissy fit when asked why they prefered one method over another(and refusing to move forward because of it)
2. DCing/AFKing for long periods of time
3. Sitting just outside the range of the enemies, still following the group, and not doing anything to help(this took us 20min to agree to kick him because the two others in party with me were from my FC - tank was a random through DF rou)
