    Medium/Small Pulls

    Tank being able to use proper Rotations and Aoe
    Heal being able to use SS/Adlo as dmg prevention while DPS-ing
    Dps using proper Rotations and/or Aoe
    Because if you pull groups one by one theres no need for a tank, or a healer for that matter.
    Plus it just takes longer. You dont want to know the amount of times ive done brayflox hm, im pretty sure its coming close to a thousand by now.
    As a bonus with 1 whm and 2 blms theres no need to heal even on large pulls, everything dies in a holy stun.

    Ive done Animus while we had brayflox as only Myth farm method. Dont talk about brayflox.
    Also, longer=boring? You are mixing things up and didnt explain why spamming one skill=not boring.

    Maybe even reward the group with bonus drops/tomes based on completion time.

    You watch how quick all the anti cut scene skipper / anti speed run people are clicking that box and doing it to avoid 8 hour Q times, and reducing the amount of roulette they do weekly.

    *Dreams*
    TBH Staris, I'm actually impressed... I like this suggestion. Just to clarify on your accusations of "anti-cut-scene-skipper/speed runners" I don't mind SR's at all, but there are times when I queue as healer that I'd like to do more than spam cure with an occasional HOLY or Physick/Lustrate with the occasional Shadowflare... Speed runs are more exciting for tanks and DPS than it is for healers...

    Even two BLM's don't drop trash mobs in 6 seconds...

    That said, assume that all PUG DF's are speed runners. It's not that everyone wants to, but DPS tends to have the longest wait while healers/tanks have the shortest wait, so a tank/healer can ditch a party that moves too slowly and get penalized less for it.
    Sounds like something I would say and have said many times in speed run threads. And guess what? She's absolutely correct!
