What are your opinions on optimal pull size in the 71-79 dungeons?

[Vulcann]

i usually pull two packs at a time and thats about it. i'm not running these dungeons to prove i have a big epeen or anything. so the less stress i put on myself and my healer the better.

if DPS don't like it well they can freely leave and go back into that DPS queue ... GG

So you are admitting to intentionally slowing down a run in order to grief their time? That's.. innovative. But you do you and everybody else does it in half the time.

not sure if this is a reply to me since their was no quote but i'm gonna take it as such

you sign up for a dungeon you are at the mercy of the tank and how they pull, don't like it leave and queue up again. pulling safe is not griefing you need to look up that word up in terms of MMO. just because you don't like the way the tank pulls doesn't mean they are griefing.

it’s wall to wall pulls for me as a tank and healer. I love testing the limit. I found out that if your gear is at the requirement you can manage wall to wall pulls. When new dungeons come out I usually pull all. Being under geared, play it right and anyone can do wall to wall pulls.

When I play healer and if I pull more adds for you don’t get offended. I pull them because I can manage them for you. I will keep you alive just hold them there for me.

Intentionally slowing down a run? Yeah, think what you want - that's griefplay. I bet you are one of those tanks that takes off stance if someone else dares to take an extra mob to "show them" (and feel like you achieved something).

But what else do I expect from tanxiety gcbtw?

you need to look up the term griefing.

so because i don't pull wall to wall that's griefing? ... seems legit!

feel free to report me if you are ever in my roulette with me as a tank, i'm sure SE's support would love a good laugh ... i can see the report already

"dear sir or madam or whoever it may concern, I was in a roulette with a notorious griefer named Matic Zanleer. this scoundrel committed horrible, UNSPEAKABLE atrocities against Eorzea. MY roulette in Mt Gulg usually take 13-15 minutes (i have timed the last 100 runs i have made) and this this terrorist took 20 minutes! how dare he? how dare he not try and pull wall to wall like many tanks do. how dare he not listen to my "sighs" and " .... " and "you can pull faster" advice. horrible gamer 10/10 would not group with again. please ban him from not only this MMO but any future Final Fantasy MMO"

Sorry friend, but I believe that was a lot funnier in your head, no?

Problem is, since "difference in playstyle" is a valid reason to make a report moot, you'll likely to have the same kind of answer if you report that the DPS let you solo mobs or healer don't heal you because they think you're too slow.

So, basically, if the whole group won't agree on a strat, they'll waste everybody's time.

And, remember that the stress you put on your healer is not yours to decide, but the healer's. So if they ask you to pull more, you're not doing them any "favor" by not doing so.

Is standing at the entrance and never pulling an option?

Optimal pull size is wall to wall. The only person that should be the factor is the healer. If they cant handle it then it doesnt happen. I dont understand the whole tanks determine if they can handle it or if they are not comfortable bs esp 70+. You pull, do aoe, and pop CDs. 3, 6, 8, or all the mobs... nothing you do is different. Oh a DPS takes aggro on 1 mob then the DPS needs the pull that 1 mob into the pack that you're spamming AOEs on. Ppl think wall to wall doesn't speed up runs by alot when in fact you save so much time doing so. Example. Holmister Switch I ran in 17m. I was a tank and had a good healer and great dps. Same dungeon with a tank that only did single packs took like 25-30 mins and as I playing healer that time I was bored out of my mind spamming 1 button..
