Speed Running Is Getting Out of Hand

You expect too much from DF. Any time I did PS in 2.3-2.4, BRDs/Tanks/DPS don't bother stunning Banish III (and that still hurts, just not as badly as it used to back in 2.1). As for Holy stun... what if the mobs can't be stunned? (the one with 'Banish III' can be stunned, of course)

There's a thing called Hallowed Ground/Holmgang. Use it wisely.

But of course, idiots will be idiots. If you're a tank you should evaluate your party composition and gear to see what's the max and most comfortably you can pull, and only pull more if the first or first two pulls proved that the team can take more. Tanks who doesn't evaluate, can't do shit about them.

Personally, for high level roulette I will queue as tank or healer. Healer (WHM) seems to make my life easier because a sub-par tank can still do a large pull cos I'm already way overgeared. EX roulette I actually prefer to go as a BLM, because having a BLM in the team will always speed up the current EX dungeons faster regardless how large the pull is. These mobs just have too much HP. If your tank/healer can't handle larger pulls and you don't have a BLM to aoe the mobs down... it will be painfully slow.

Sounds like I need to start queuing as a DRG or MNK... might actually enjoy the dungeons again :P
