What do you want from your tank in a dungeon?

[Carvaka]

The basics aside - Hold enmity, don't suck etc..

I have been asking my PUGs if they want experience points, treasure or quick runs. Out of the last ~80 dungeons I have ran, I have only received a response twice. Once for exp, once for a quick run. Should I keep asking? I had assumed people would want a say, but apparently not?

I ask with autotranslate, so that is not an issue.

Unless specified by the party i run fast runs. If they want me to run long then I will but otherwise I just assume people want in and out of a dungeon.

The only exceptions where I actually ask is if i somehow end up in AV or DD, then I'll assume people want everything dead.

If your talking 50+ run them fast all the time.

Good pickup, just pre 50 I am referring to.

Sounds normal. I ask all the time also. Sometimes I can't even get a "hello" out as someone is already charging in. Then I always love the "its up to you, you're the tank" responses. Some are so brain dead at this point can't even bother to think about what they want to do. I just keep on asking, sometimes we have fun and not look at it as "work" but a game to play.

Then just run the shortest way. If the rest of the party want a full sweep... then they will speak up. 99% of the time though, people just want in and out of the dungeon. Theres not enough mobs in most dungeons for it to be amazingly efficient.

If I'm on my level 50 in low level roulette, I don't mind it being quick clear. If I'm not on level 50, I'd prefer a full clear. But if everyone else is up in the 50ies, I rarely ask and just go with the flow. If the tank asked though I'd answer my current preference.

Honestly I would prefer quick runs even as leveling. It is so much more efficient to have a quick run and get back to the outside world. The extra pulls don't yield the payoffs for the time spent vs the time spent doing fates, leves, etc. You can do 4-10 leves in 15-30 minutes depending on the zone and yield half a level. AV or DD run takes 30 minutes for the average group and for the most part doesn't yield half a level.

As a Tank, the most frequent request I receive is "Speed Run Pls", which I am more than happy to provide. Nothing pushes your play skills like mass pulls, and next run trying to merge even bigger mass pulls, makes the game less "cookie-cutter", and it's more enjoyable to push your character/gamer skills to the limit.

All I ask is that tanks don't do a dead stop between pulls unless the healer is completely OOM.

(this never happens for me unless I'm the one tanking)
