DPS who pull mobs

[Jeeqbit]

Even in level-cap dungeons, I'm sure you've also ran into DPS who are already positioned at the far front to dash. It's a waste of time to argue whether a tank is always going to be able to keep ahead of the DPS.

I've never had DPS out-pace me. Usually they are all far in the distance from me struggling to catch up.

It depends a lot on loading time though, because if you have an SSD you will load immediately into the next area and be able to run ahead of those loading slower.

Not talking about load time. I'm talking about ranged DPS re-positioning themselves during combat towards the exit side of the encounter, so when the fight finishes, and whatever obstacle preventing movement is removed, the DPS has a headstart simply due to the positioning.

Generally speaking it's trivial for ranged DPS players to outrun a tank if they wanted. Heck I do it all the time and do zigzags to gradually put myself behind the tank. It's my own personal mini-game when playing SAM for example to end the fight with a back-jump towards the exit side.
