Whats the deal with tanks recently?

[Genbe197]

I keep getting groups with tanks who NEVER aoe even on trash packs of 5+ and NEVER use their CDs. Its driving me insane. I should not be pulling hate with a gravity while healing because they don't know how to aoe... And don't get me started on the ones who never aoe AND pull 1 mob at a time making a 15min dungeon 40mins long.

So few things
1. YOU HAVE AN AOE COMBO AND IT IS GENERALLY BETTER ON 3+
2. IT IS OKAY TO WIPE. IT IS BETTER TO PULL BIG AND MAYBE WIPE THAN GO AT A SNAILS PACE. "Im new to this" Cool follow the heals or dps then that have done it before and pick everything up.

Toxic "You pull it you tank it" needs to stay in other mmos it has no reason to be in FF its much easier for me to pull as a healer weith my dot and stand next to the tank than the tank trying to target inside a pack of 5mobs.

Don't we have a similar thread right now, and on page 1?

[Genbe197]

Nope the thread mentions nothing about tanks not aoeing it mentions healers wanting to go fast.

Oh look, another person making a mountain out of a molehill!

Being new is not an excuse. The adventurer guilds offers us trainings for it and the story advised us to go there before diving in Satasha.

They need to require the Novice scenario before you can queue for dungeons. Its ridiculous to get lvl 70 and not know how. Should make it a requirement to queue for dungeon even if you use story skip.

My bad, was doing a experiment on how far I can go on 80s content without doing CD, turns out it’s all the way.

Imagine that, you can do most of the 80s pulls without pulling a single CD, I tried doing this with Ala Mihgo and had to drop the act and do CDs again due to the healers request.

I didn’t because of data purposes, other tanks probably didn’t do it because they don’t need too, with a decent healer you don’t NEED to be a tank

Oh, so there's the other side of the spectrum. Am pretty sure this example is even rarer than the 'healers will always silently pull ahead' and 'dps laugh at me coz I don't wanna wall to wall nya' people. Assuredly!

The times I've seen a tank not use AoE, not using CDs and basically Afk-Auto-Walking could be counted on half of one of my hands

We should all just try and make a run the fastest and most fun possible and I think the majority of people do that already ^^

Here is the thing.

Yes, he should use his aoe abilities. You could try to advise him in this.

No, you should not be dictating to him the pace at which he pulls. You are not the tank.

Like real life, when you pander to mediocrity you end up stagnant and useless. This game is designed for the lowest common denominator and it really shows, especially after the live letter.
