Dear Ninjas

Dear ninja <3,
I would have to be a raving loon to pull a boss without at least looking behind me to make sure everyone is ready. I understand the logic behind speed runs, but pulling as fast as i can to make sure you never start a fight without buffs is redeculous. ask a drg or a monk about starting a big pull or a boss without buffs. sometimes life hands you lemons and you make some (slightly) lower dps-aid. the damn dungeon only takes 20 minutes tops even pulling slowly.

what if everyone is ready and the tank still don't pull?

Like i said, i always see the opposite end of the spectrum in my ques.

the amount of sluggish tanks is too damn high!!

why do they need a short break between each pull? please stop messing up with DPS buffs.

This whole thread is one of the many reasons why I'm so disgusted with humanity in general... We've got people from both sides continuously arguing about how each and every little detail should be handled, never once realizing that different people do different things... and resort to insulting each other over every damn response ever.

Seriously, someone just lock or delete this thread. It's too vitriolic.

EDIT: The thread didn't start out too bad, but the direction it took... At this point, at least just let the thread die if not locked or deleted.

EDIT 2:

Wait, there are people who didn't jump on the secondary cross hotbar like it was the greatest thing since the cross hotbar itself? It should be standard equipment for everyone using a pad.

I actually didn't know about this until I read this post and then poked around in the Character Config menu some more and found it. At this point though, I'm so used to holding R1 and flipping through hotbar sets with the buttons on the fly that I don't really need to do that yet. I may need to do that though come Heavensward...

I hope your joking, but incase you are not...

I just started a mrd/war alt. Though I'm only at lvl 24 so far, I have come to the realization that I go through tp FAST. so I'm assuming most of them(I know I do it)
Stop for a couple seconds to get tp. I mean, unless you'd rather them run out and then no way to hold hate then you all die

Usually because of these two little things called TP and mana. I'm sure you're familiar with them by now...

Oh! or how about the tanks that wait till just after you put down a circle, then they pull the whole effing crowd of mobs OFF the circle and stand right next to it with the pull.

My ninja friends RAVE about those tanks.

Was in a dungeon other day, tank made big pulls. Sweet! I lay down circle, buff myself and start spamming blossom . . . . tank moves them over and out. ??? I'm like /sigh

Next big pull, he does it again. I'm like "Tank! Why u do dis???" /cry

Also, I was told that nin's aoe damage is worthless . . . as I'm playing nin and doing well over 600 dps aoe (according to my abicus ;p). It may not be as good as blm or whm, but it's not worthless.

*laughing at the fact that killing a boss five seconds faster is a big deal*
