Tank entitlement vs group entitlement

[WaterShield]

Who said anything about single target And I also said necessarily not absolutely. As in there are times where they are a detriment. I’ve been groups where the pulls went flawlessly yay for us nice smooth run. I’ve been in groups where there they took longer to kill for whatever reason and small pulls should have been the way to go. So large pulls are not necessarily faster. Also you are not getting more damage from spells in large pulls. The potencies remain the same. What you are getting is the killing of more mobs in one go that could save a bit time as you are stopping less meaning being more efficient. Which in turn could lead to a faster run time assuming the kill rate is fast enough. Which usually happens with the level of gear we have the moment but doesn’t always. There are more variables to consider then large pulls only go!

Ok, so when I have an Aoe skill that doesn't have drop off on the damage...say scatter for instance. It does 100 damage to EVERYTHING it hits. So for every monster I hit with it I do an additional 100 potency of damage. Multiply this by the number of enemies the tank has on them and you arrive at the potency per cast I am now doing. Past 3 enemies I am doing more damage per cast than I can with ANY single target ability I have. So this very simply boils down to big number > small number.

Again who was saying to use single target abilities? Not I.

Edit: Post cap hit so responding here. I am clearly stating that larger pulls using aoe skills = larger damage... so I did not say to use single target abilities. I said to pull more so that your aoe does even more damage per cast.

Sorry if it did not come across as clearly as intended.
