Don't pull it if you can't hold it!

[KingOfAbyss]

This topic thread just reminds me of why I don't go for big pulls while tanking, it requires a large amount of trust in the DPS and healer to do their job well and fast. Outside of people you know, I've noticed way too many people who are unable to do their jobs that well in DF, so I tend to stray away from big pulls.

Also, just because this brings to mind something...when the hell did speed runs through gathering large amounts of mobs become a thing here? I did a run with some Japanese players and they grabbed small mob groups, we burned them down, went forward, and repeated all the way through Haukke Manor HM. It was one of the fastest runs I had been through in the place simply because they didn't overpull, they grabbed the groups that already link to each other (at most had 4 enemies on us), and we go through with the place with 6-7 minutes left on the protect. When did the thought of larger pulls = faster runs become so prevalent?

Amen to that, come to Gilgamesh!

People that skip trash mobs.. just to get their last boss down.. (I do feel it's an exploit in itself, but SE made it that way, so if you can counter the mechanics planned, the DEVs just need to readjust them)

I like to do full runs, talking in DF (since when you talk in a MMO?) ok some are playing PS3-4, no keyboards, I understand that. Others can say they don't talk cause of PS4, like the 'Lag' when we fail lol

This game is meant to be enjoyed: for me, rushing to get 300 myth per hour, doing the same DGN over and over - not for me.

I am all ears if people wants to teach me something; but like everything, there is a way to get your message been listened to.

Be nice, and people will return the favor.

And yes, 2 times killing 3-4 mobs, no one dies, fast and easy > 8-mobs (higher chances of dying/something goes wrong)

I was fine taking Brayflox HM Slowly when it was released, but now I have cleared that dungeon over 80 times, I just want my Soldiery cap now... Since those Tomestones take 10 runs to cap each week, I just like it to be over with. I've tanked every single dungeon over 90 times already, so can you blame me for wanting it over with fast?

PS, I don't fail at holding aggro. =P

I can hold Big Mob groups fine, Flash and Savage Blade combo is what keeps me healthy in the mana pool. Scorns helps a little too, but only like a little little.
