Why Speed Pulls?

[KikoriL]

If the speedpull generates a dozen overlapping AOE's, the melee is going to get killed instantly if they don't move. Even the tanks tend to suck at this where they will lose 80% of their HP in less time than it takes to cast any healing magic.

What speedruns have you been attempting that you'll preach bad logic across the forum?

PUG DF's, range from tanks that take off without waiting for protect, to tanks that pull every mob to the door of the every boss room. So far those are the exceptions not the rule. The more sane tanks know how many mobs they can pull before getting killed. Do I have 10 seconds before the tank dies or 3? Does the tank run so far ahead of the party that they are taking damage they didn't have to?

I'd love to believe that every player knows their role with their class/job inside and out, but experience suggests that people are in too much of a rush and just want to faceroll through the dungeon as quick as possible with the least effort.
