Tanks that want to take it slow?

[Megguido]

The main problem with tank doing big pull, is the "missed mob".... yeah often there is a mob who didn't get his dose of aggro..... And, i automatically get the hate when i cast my first heal/regen on the tank....
And thus began the run from the mob while trying to heal the tank.... Until i die or the Tank, at last, see he missed one (3 minutes later....).

And when it's like that,you really don't have the time to type in the chat ^^;

So yeah, i'm not really fond of big pull.... Since i don't have great luck when he come to aggro

If the tank has at least half a braincell, they'll use AoE attacks against a dungeon pull. So if you get aggro on one mob, just run close to the tank and they'll pick it up quickly without even noticing. If you run away from the tank, don't expect them to rush after you to pick up that mob.

if that is a personal choice,you must be aware that there are all kinds of players out there.some will appreciate your style,others will not.there is nothing wrong with your style of tanking.but there is nothing wrong with speed running as well. Different strokes for different people.

as a dps i hate when tanks speed pull, i cant get my big spenders off, cant aoe the whole group because half of them move before it goes off, and to me it kills the immersion. I like slower tanks , though there is a balance there too hehe

I am a well geared tank with experience in wall to wall pulling.

That being said, I ALWAYS ask my healer first and leave it up to them. After all it affects them the most.

I feel others should do the same. *shrugs*

I’m fine with either or. All I ask is the tank do two things. 1) don’t pull more than you know you can handle. 2) be decisive. Nothing irks me more than popping my BotD because it looks like the tank is going to pull slow only for him/ her to start running like a mother because they finally decided to pull big. Usually ends up in me wasting my CD

I mean......no matter if you are facing 3 or 30 mobs, you will always attack with aoe combo and hit defensive cd.....death or alive that's healer's problem to deal with.

No I rather have them do slow pulls than to wipe a bunch of times from healer not being able to heal them fast enough.

I don't speed-pull because I'm rushing, I do it because the game is genuinely not enjoyable otherwise, I don't even need a defensive for single packs and a WHM can just put regen/beni on me and ignore me.

With that said, if a healer lets me die because they're still spamming gravity/holy and I'm on 35k, it's single pulls for the rest of the instance because I stop trusting them.

as a tank i ask healer if they want to big pull, if they dont want it nobody can blame me if we do it slow, as SMN i love when tank do big pull, but still no complain if they do small pull, instead i make a macro to make my character spam ruin/ruin3 when tank do it while i am watching netflix

As healer main, I'm bored to death if tank doesn't mass pull. As said ... it's the way it's designed ... and at least I need to heal on big pulls and not just spam the same ability over and over ...

now I sometimes don't mind doing 2 pulls before a wall ... but u need that at least to feel the stress
