    Why does 1 person get to decide the flow of the dungeon? If everyone else wants to pull large, why not oblige them? You're literally the smallest factor in the success of large pulls.

    In fairness, it's rarely more than one person who mentions pulling big. The tank may ask at the start of the dungeon, but it's rare to get a reply -- an actual miracle if the rest of the party speaks up.

    Also on that thought: the person who objects may know they're incapable of handling big pulls. This would be the case for a tank (they don't know the dungeon and aren't comfortable) or the healer (all sorts of things can go wrong here)!

    Yup, until I get comfortable and more knowledgeable about the changes that were made to tanks, I will be pulling smaller(probably not 1 group of three only, but probably 2). Once I'm comfortable and confident I can handle more, and the healer agrees/mentions they can handle more, then I will pull larger.

    As for healing...I have to fix my skillbars still for that, then I will try it out with (hopefully) smaller pulls.

    Tbh I don't even know why threads like this pop up. In all my time healing I always ask at the very beginning "big pulls pretty please with a cherry on top." It breaks the ice and usually tanks comply that they'll try their best. If their best is not cutting it then we can go back to small pulls.
