"Pull Everything" in Dungeon Parties

[Fynlar]

Gosh y'all act like theres actually any consequences for wiping/dying.

In a good portion of all the rando groups I've ever joined, there is usually someone that just immediately bails from the party if there is ever any wipe (or sometimes even if just that person dies).

In a good portion of THOSE parties, their bailing causes a cascade effect that just makes the group fall apart completely.

More than once, this has happened to me after making some progress in an instance, essentially causing all the progress to be lost.

So yeah, I try to avoid the wipes in most cases.

Honestly, pulling small makes less of an impact than most people think it does. As long as the tank isn't just standing around inbetween fights to pick his nose or whatever and keeps a steady pace, it usually goes around as fast as it would if they tried to pull big anyway.

I know a lot of BLM -- and myself, as a SMN -- who will start boss fights or early engage a pack in order to keep Enochian/spend Ruin IV procs.

I don't know anything about SMN but I can say that the Enochian argument doesn't hold weight anymore, because now Enochian can be maintained indefinitely without needing a target just by using Transpose. If Enochian ever drops without them intending to, that is 100% the BLM's error nowadays.

I admit I have pulled ahead of tanks many times. Especially as a healer. Why? Because SHOWING and PROVING it to them how it actually works is gonna do more than trying to talk in theory and have them say "no".
Ofc some tanks get pissed, but most tanks go along with it. The other week, I pulled ahead and the tank refused to take those 2-3 mobs that were hitting me...So I just kept healing myself while the 2 dps killed them.
See. Didnt even need the useless tank. If I can tank those 2-3 adds as a healer, why cant YOU (the tank) do it with a couple more adds?

You're not SHOWING or PROVING anything other than being an annoyance.

A tank has their reasons for pulling as much as they do. Respect them if you want to be respected back, or just play tank yourself.
