The Praetorium

[Hinata_Kenpachi]

Please make it so you can't just skip the mobs... just entered this dungeon and everyone went straight for the elevator and let me behind to die to the group of mobs... I finally get past them and another set deagroed and was waiting for next target. If you are being attacked you can't use the elevators... everyones just ignoring what they can and just skipping ahead. Easy fix would be to make it so panels cannot be clicked until all mobs on that floor are dead.

Or, instead of slacking, you could move along with your group.

Or wait for the teleport to the boss after 15 seconds if for some reason you're left behind.

MSQ roulette needs a big change for sure, but definitely not what you're asking for.

Groups have been running Praetorium in this way since the first time I did it back in Heavensward. It's something SE is very unlikely to change unless they finally do the debated complete rework of Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium (the only 8 man dungeons in the game, they've mentioned possibly turning them them into 4 man dungeons).

Unless you're a tank, don't hit anything in either dungeon until the tank brings the trash pack to a stop and is AoEing it. If you're a healer, you also don't want to heal until the tank comes to a stop (tanks are generally fine for a few seconds as long as they use their defensive CDs). Once you've done both dungeons enough to get a feel for the flow, you can start sneaking in a bit of DPS and healing as the tank pulls more without trouble.

Also you can use the Magitek Terminals while being attacked if you use your Confirm keybind (assuming you're using mouse/keyboard) instead of trying to mouse click. I do it all the time when tanking in Praetorium - I'll run slightly ahead to get aggro on everything, hold the mobs as everyone runs past and uses the terminal (using my tank CDs so I don't die) then follow myself.

The default for Confirm is Num0 on a standard keyboard (check the Keybind menu if you're not using a standard keyboard or you've changed your keybinds). You need to make certain that you're in range and facing the Terminal with no enemies targeted, then rapidly hit the Confirm keybind multiple times. The first hit will target the Terminal, second hit will pull up the interact window, third hit will put the pointer on Yes, fourth hit will send you through.

The Confirm keybind trick will work with any interactive object/NPC in the game. It's very handy in crowded areas so you're not trying to click through players to hit the object/NPC you want to interact with.
