Healers who rescue pull tanks into mobs.

[Kalker]

Actually, there's plenty of hypocrisy. Promoting a system where everyone runs in different directions and makes their own pulls isn't efficient; it just makes the tanks life harder.

Pulling more stuff after the group has already assumed the pull is finished, or yanking the tank around with Rescue, just causes confusion and annoyance. It's not helpful.

If you can handle bigger pulls you say so at the start of the dungeon, when you're all sitting in chat just waiting for the dungeon to start anyways. That's optimal. The tank encouraging a style where everyone makes their own pulls by humoring it doesn't help anyone.

If it's an accident you pick it up. Otherwise I think 'you spank it you tank it' is perfectly reasonable.

Edit: Actually, I feel like there's 1 exception. If the healer runs ahead, pulls more mobs and brings them to me I generally don't have a problem with it, because at the end of the day he's only making his life more difficult.

Rescue pulling is completely different, however. That repositions the entire pull, which screws over the DPS and disorients the tank. Only a crap healer would do that.

Now the DPS should NOT be pulling at all. Bigger pulls make the tank and healers life more difficult; so those 2 roles should be deciding the pull sizes based on what they feel they can handle. If a DPS spanks it he should be ready to tank it.

You're quite right actually, making everyone pull is inefficient. Instead the tank should, y'know, do their job and pull everything.

And please, "make the tank's life harder"? How so? Are the extra mobs going to make you break a sweat and press buttons twice as fast? Be it a group or 3, all you have to is press a mitigation button every 15s and spam your two button aoe + gauge spender.

If pulling more mobs makes you melt faster than your healer can heal you, the rest of the party isn't the problem. You are.

And like I said, you can both think that "You pull you tank" is a garbage mentality and that rescue pulling is a mildly rude thing to do.

Obligatory this doesn't apply to sprouts, no I'm not expecting wall to wall pulls in Sastasha, etc, etc.
