Why Speed Pulls?

[Zedd702]

1)Speed running requires the tank to know when to pop which CDs, when to save bigger ones for certain pulls, and shield swiping properly makes some huge pulls possible. Probably not much so anymore with gear, but it's still a skill-dependent trait.

SR don't really require the use of CD's... I've done SR's with both my 110 WAR & PLD without really using cooldowns at all except on some boss fights or if I herpderp miss an AoE telegraph.

It just seems like you're grasping at straws in order to sidestep admitting that speedruns take more individual skill than single pulls. Which is silly, because if I ask any random person not involved in this discussion, they would agree.

Nope, not grasping straws or sidestepping anything. I'm a realist that sees it for what it is and I don't call a player bad because they don't agree with speedrunning, nor do I force it upon anyone...

I appologize for mixing you up as someone who does not like speedrunning. It seems we disagree on which is more skill-intensive; not on if speedrunning should be done or not. ^^

I've said it once, wait twice, wait three times... Hell I lost count. Anyway I will say it again. SR is governed by gear and is a matter of preference. The ONLY time I'd say it's considered skillful is if the tank that does the SR is at minimal req lvl and applies his/her mind to it and succeeds at doing it as if he/she were overgeared for the specific dungeon.

You cannot attempt a speedrun unless you have gear.

Thank you for proving my point.
