Why Speed Pulls?

[Sareal]

I'll have to spam that same dungeon 10+ times to likely see the rng drop I need.

We are all in the same boat. I am farming for these zodiacs too, I'm just as frustrated as you to not see them drop (probably not, tbh) and yet I don't feel an urge to pull everything at once unless I really need to. However you do realize that most pug healers out there don't even DPS at all?

I meet the occasional special snowflake.

Been meeting them more than the average player lately.

DPS don't pull initial aggro on mobs. You are just going to get my healer killed and you are just being an ass

Look, if they asked me if I wanted to speed run or pull more before, then fine, so I can choose my next action before it gets out of hand for me.

That's because most pug healers are bad / lazy. That's also why I go into the dungeons as a healer. I expect fast runs so I do my part to achieve them. If the party is going slow and have no desire to speed run after I inquire, I leave.

Nope, PuG healer do not bother because the healer cannot depend on the group to perform well enough that there is time to DPS. Too many bad tanks not using buffs, or DPS not dodging attacks.

Actually, because of that I choose to do by Zodiac as a BLM instead. Longer queue times probably but it isn't that bad (5-10 mins average?).

You can enter as a WHM but if you get 2 melees you are still a goner. But as long as I am a BLM, I can ensure that the run ends faster than any other options. If the tank is going to pull pack by pack then as a WHM you can't possibly have the MP to holy spam them all, but as a BLM I can Flare them all. Pug tanks are more likely to pull more packs with a BLM than without.
