The Real Problem with Zodiac (Tank Speedrun Woes)

[FranSeara]

My point is with many players being over geared for Dfs there really no reason to speed run at a break neck pace. The mobs will die, trust me. They die really fast at any speed. With everyone being so well geared now its possale to speed run WP without an tank. I did it with a Whm, Nin and a Bard (thats me) we tore up that place. I've been in groups that could speed run PS without even trying to speed run the place. We completed the Df in 14 mins. with deaths and mistakes. I think you could complete PS in under 10 mins now.

That's the thing, though. Some people find speed runs really fun. When myself and 3 friends (PLD/WHM/BLM/BLM) run together and end up doing something like AK, we push the absolute limits of what we can do with the dungeon because we are so overgeared. Try to kill the first boss before the cultist casts Void Call (he just sits there at 1% btw -.-). See how much crap the tank can pull before I have to stop, pop HG, and watch things explode. Kill the Demon Wall before it casts Repel (haven't managed this yet). Let's face it, most of us have done these dungeons hundreds of times now. Anything that makes it more fun is a good thing.
