    • I did 50/60/70 roulette yesterday to get AST to 80 from 79 (I got Amdapor Keep (Hard)), and as soon as we got in the tank said they were doing big pulls. I wasn't happy, but they were the first one to ever warn me in advance, so I appreciated that. They then proceeded to die on the second big pull because they took damage faster than I could heal them. And I've been healing since ARR, so I know how. And it wasn't my gear, obviously. Going fast might be 'fun' for the tank and DPS, but the healer usually ends up sweating and can't do damage at all.

    I'm not going to give myself carpal tunnel just because you want to get the dungeon done so you can go watch anime after or something. People say if you want to go slower, use friends or PF, but how about this: if you want to go faster, why don't you use friends or PF?
    Speak for yourself. When I heal I find small pulls exceedingly boring. Moreover people have been doing large pulls in level cap dungeons forever with minimal trouble. Its not new and is the norm for those dungeons. I'd say if you want to play outside the norm, youre the one that needs to form your own party.

    Yeah, I get bored healing single pulls in dungeons.

    And as for 'healers don't get to dps during big pulls' they do if you find the time, and if you don't find the time that means you're busy doing your primary job of healing. For me, wealign in holies or having to spam heals on a less than sturdy tank in big pulls are both more engaging than the dullness of single pulls.

    When I tank I prefer big pulls, but when I zone in I ask the healer if they want big or small pulls, and if they prefer small I'll do small. Though this is rare I find healers mostly say 'whatever you're comfortable with' or 'big pulls' with the occsaional silence where I just wing it.

    The exception is my first time in a dungeon on new content, though in SHB I did them all (when I could) with trusts first anyway to get a feel for the dungeon.
