Is it still to early for speed runs?

[TheOneSena]

I have nothing against speed runs of dungeons but when entering a lvl 60 dungeon with the chance of getting new people who have no knowledge of the dungeon and then going off pulling everything that moves...don't people think that's a bit reckless? Like if entering a dungeon and your decked out in full 180+ gear and you have a healer who is still using 58-59 gear because they just hit 60 and the tank goes off and pulls groups larger than the intended amount and causes a wipe because the healer can't keep up with the heals needed to compensate for the large pull. It's a 50/50 chance i know but you would think after 2 in a half years of being some tanks would give the new 50% a chance instead of going 100% speed run. I'm a monk and i'm just voicing the words of sch who has had run ins with tanks like that upon hitting 60. Personally i couldn't care less but when playing with strangers...at least ask.

You should be thankful you're on the official forums. In other forums, you will get downvoted to hell and people will tell you, that 1 week is more than enough to hit 60 and get full 170s so anyone still wearing 58/59 gear should either come as DPS or farm the daily Roulettes until they get full 170 before coming to tank/heal in the EX.Roulette.

Heck, Reddit already is of the opinion that 1 week after official release, it is everyone's responsibility to read up on strategy and watch a YouTube video before jumping into the two EX Primal trials. That place works in a different time paradigm.

I've been healing the speedruns just fine...they started WAY early but they are survivable

One week? I saw PF's up one day after with the "know your s#%t or you will be kicked".

This all depends on the group I think.

But if you see someone has low ilvl or new bonus I'd say take it slow. No need to get mad over a game Not everyone likes SR.

Those people will be waiting an awful long time then.

I'm of the opinion that "speedpulls" aren't going to be viable until one generation of "tomes" gear goes by. Unlike ARR launch where people wanted full darklight just to WP and AK... you know the very same dungeons that give the tomes in the first place, it's still possible to get usable drops from just the EX dungeons. Hell in a single run through Neverreap at the bare minimum 142 ilevel I got 4 items for my job I was playing. That's something that NEVER happened in any of the ARR dungeons. That brought the ilevel up to 150. The first time through "The Vault" did something similar. The ARR dungeons you were lucky if you even got one item that anyone in the party could use.

Like I think the "rare gear" drops from chests have changed in a way to actually consider the party composition. The only other drops during that run were for Dragoon (one of the DPS party members) and Tank. Or maybe it's just a coincidence. On the other hand... the SAME item dropped twice.

People are already speed-running the level 53 dungeon, its insane.

LIES! I'm fully convinced that healer gear does not exist in the dungeons. aside from belts, rings, and bracelets. And when they drop, its like "hey bro it's gear what are you complaining about". "Oh, I already had these from the last 6 chests in this dungeon".

LIES!

LIES! +1

My first ever tanking drop from the new dungeons was like at 59 or after I dinged 60. Not exactly sure but I had full quested gear for a very long time...
