    I will say this farming these tomes for the event has put into perspective how slow and annoying single pull tanks are and just how strong heals can be in certain content.

    Either way this event has shown me the darker side of tanks and how petty they can be. I have had tanks that do not grab aggro if you pull extra mobs, if you pull the boss they stand around.

    I have had healers that complain about pull size even though they can keep the tank alive.

    I get they could be new uncomfortable etc . . . Still

    They may have had to use every CD they had doing it. If they were commenting on pull size, it sounds like they had struggles. If they used all CDs, they're not going to have anything for the next big pull, so it's mostly likely a pace they can handle one time but not something they can maintain. If I'm pulling out the Cure IIs because everything else is down, I'm definitely asking that group to dial the pulls back.

    Oh dear, healers actually using all their cooldowns. How dare.

    Should have added more I am a healer so I also know when a healer has to blow everything to keep a tank alive. Though even as a healer if the tank is a paper tank not using cooldowns outside a few dungeons it is still is fairly easy to do damage and keep the tank alive. Sure cooldowns are nice but yeah.

    Even with gcd usage if your dps is on point it is still easier to do larger pulls and even in those cases I still find the time to get off damage spells as whm.

    The worst is getting a paper tank and dps that aren't on point. Had that in Malikah's the other day. Tank had some exarchic pieces, but also like a 400 belt and accessories. We didn't wipe, but dps also weren't up for wall pulls so it was definitely tetchy in places. And the tank wouldn't pull smaller.

    Yeah it can be annoying when you get a paper tank and low dps. That I will grant. Though personally I do not mind it all that much cause it gives me a little more to do.
