Am I supposed to pull wall to wall as a tank on every dungeon?

[Tsukino]

Typically you would pull one group in dungeons that are under level 50, two groups in anything between 50 and 60 or 60 and 70 or 70 and 80, and then however many it lets you pull in the ones that are 50, 60, 70, or 80. There's also a ton of nuance, like knowing when there are hard walls that don't disappear until you finish all the mobs or soft walls that you can either damage or defeat a key mob to take down before continuing. Or in all the leveling dungeons before 50 you can totally pull everything if you have people wearing level 80 gear because the scaling is screwed up, but if you have people in the actual gear from those levels you'll all die.

But the actual answer is to ignore all of what I just wrote and, upon entering a dungeon via the Duty Finder, open the chat and ask "how many groups do you all want me to pull?" and then just do whatever they say. It takes like one minute and you'll get the right fit for your party every time like magic!

Default to the largest pulls if possible. If the party wipes, you may have to pull less. Better to try and fail, learn why, and then iterate. The key to keeping your healer calm is cycling through your defensive cooldowns.

At the start of every pull, you want to cycle through

1. Invulnerability
2. Sentinel/Vengeance + Shelltron/Nascent Flash + Reprisal
3. Rampart + Shelltron/Nascent Flash + Arm's Length


Basically pair stronger/longer defensive CD + weaker/shorter defensive CD at the start of every pack. As long as you save a strong defensive CD (Invuln, Sentinel, Rampart equivalent) for the big pack, you will ease the healing requirement from healers.

If you play DRK, just use The Darkest Night every 15 seconds and pair it with your other strong CD's.

if its an endgame dungeon yes, if its a leveling dungeon no

Sort of this, near max level base game dungeons do not pull wall to wall 47-48 for example is the most akward level because you miss a ton of utility and gear but the mobs hit at you like you are 50.

I am not complaning and genuinely asking out of curiosity. I just finished Msqs but am lost on what to do on duty roulettes. People were fine with me going 1 mob at a time but I'm guessing thats because it was my first time and I was geared just enough to run the dungeon.

Pull as you team can manage. No point pulling wall to wall but the heal could not keep up, neither pulling too small wasting extra dps
I would say leveling dungeon pull 2 pack to gauge the ability of the team, endgame dungeon can go little bit more bold as the ilevel syn are much more generious

You can safely pull wall-to-wall in level 60, 70 and 80 dungeons.

Level 50 dungeons have no walls so it's possible to pull more than your party can handle. You need a really good party to be certain it goes well, so it's best not to bother. You can safely pull 33% of the way in a level 50 dungeon and 50% if you are confident with your tanking and mitigation.

Level 1-49, 51-59, 61-69, 71-79 and soon 81-89 are different. These dungeons sync your gear to almost the item level the enemies were scaled, making the incoming damage extremely high. Just 3 enemies can destroy you and require heavy mitigation and the auto-attacks of a boss alone can even kill you if you are not careful. I do not recommend big pulls in these dungeons unless you feel extremely confident in your tanking and understand how to use mitigation and other tools to save yourself and reduce the burden on the healer.

As a Tank, I usually test the healer.
I usually make polls until the healer has issues keeping the rest of the party and me alive.
So how do I judge this? Well, if my HP drops around 50% and stays there, I stop pulling.
Of course, if someone asks me to go slow, I will do that.
So listen to the rest of the group and make a judgment.
So in the end compromise is the name of the game

Make sure healer can handle it and that you can handle it. Ask healer at the beginning of the dungeon and they will let you know right away if they can or cannot do it.

Good DPS can burn down large pulls quite quickly, many times even if the healer doesn't think they can handle it. Speaking on that, a lot of healers think they can't handle it, when they can handle it in general. It's a party of 4.

Endgame Dungeons: Yes

Leveling Dungeons: Double pulls unless you are absolutely confident in your tank and healer.

It all depends on your comfort and gear levels, there are a few dungeons that are rougher to mass pull on (Bardam's Mettle) during the leveling process, but typically you can handle a few pulls as long as you cycle through your cooldowns and keep your gear up to date.
