Biggest pet peeves when it comes to dungeon runs?

[SavageCipher]

I'll start it off with (and this is pure protip for dps starting). Don't run ahead of the tank, even if you've done the dungeon plenty of times before...you will die, no one will heal you, and the tank is not going to follow you.

I feel like this one has stood the test of time, in all my years healing and tanking, it alwas happens. You get some gung-ho archer or lancer, run ahead and boom, dead, because they thought the team would follow them.

-Never ask for a recommendation....can't believe somebody would even....

that's what arm's length and bloodbath are for!

Healers putting regen on the tank before a pull. Drives me insane every time before I can get the aggro on all the mobs.

Maybe you'd have a point for ARR dungeons where there's usually a bunch of alternate paths that lead nowhere, but anything past that gets a raised eyebrow from me. Starting from Heavensward all the way to Shadowbringers, practically every dungeon is a straight line with no alternative paths in sight. So if the party isn't hot on this player's heels then where are they? Standing at the entrance with their thumbs plugged firmly up their rears?

Tanks not immediately sprinting to the mobs and not pulling wall to wall. Tanks that mad when they get rescued into more mobs, as it's the nicest way of telling them to pull more.

Preventing defeat as a RDM due to reviving a tank and/or healer only to walk away with zero commendations as a result.

Not that I necessarily need any, since I already have all the achievement rewards linked to commendations but they're a nice way of displaying gratitude.

OMG, I had a dungeon recently where the healer would cast Medica II after every battle. And we were already full HP.

Most dungeons are a straight line.

[Equitable_Remedy]

Tanks who pull mobs out of Doton.

In terms of actual dungeon design, I really wish they had more....variety in trash mobs. It's exceedingly rare to get dungeons with enemies that do things other then the basic telegraphed AoEs. Even small concerns like the bees in Qarn/Saint Moccaine's and the bombs in Amaurot that give some sense of urgency in killing particular enemies spice things up a bit.

As far as players go, healers who don't DPS bug me more then anything else. If the tank is only losing 10% of their HP per auto-attack cycle, there's virtually no risk to them actually dying as long as they have a regen rolling but a lot of healers seem to get anxiety if they see even the smallest amount of HP missing from anyone.
