Tanks and super pulls

[ZankokuNoYami]

I bounce back and forth between Tank and Healer. Tank being my main class. And I have to say without any hesitation I cannot stand tanks who do super pulls. Whenever I tank, I make it as easy for the DPS and healer as possible. I focus purely on one set of enemies at a time, doing my best to keep all focus on me.

As a healer, I am either consistently being targeted because the tank cannot hold all of that aggro, or I am unable to heal quickly enough. I have had tanks lose 90% of their HP immediately after healing them to full. Hell, half of them move without any warning and if I can't catch up to them, they are already dead. Not to mention it causes me to run dry on mana at ridiculous rates. Nothing worst than not being able to heal because I have depleted my MP. I have yet to see DPS be able to take out the enemies nearly fast enough to prevent this. And I don't fault the DPS. I fault the tank.

Rushing through dungeons like this is too chaotic and completely unfun.

The problem is that if you're only doing 1 group at a time, you might as well drop the healer for a 3rd DPS. The incoming dmg is too low to justify the healer. I can confirm firsthand that expert can be done with 1 tank + 3 DPS.

Large pulls help DPS push large numbers, they get more bang for their buck when AoEing and using dmg cooldowns. Healers can recover MP between pulls, so long as they don't do something silly like Regen you while pulling big. When you do pull big, ensure the healer isn't overstrained via defensive cooldowns.
