tanks not using cooldowns?

You will hardly find anyone who's got a bigger crusade than my own against laziness, but let's face it, CC is worthless. It just is, I wish it wasn't, but it is. It really is that simple. You got a bad tank and think something like Sleep, or even Tri-bind is gonna help? Well, it might, but not because CC is useful, but because the tank is useless.

Yep, and teaching the tank, even a little will help them more in the long run than sleeping a couple of enemies.


For me to be pushed healing in a dungeon, it has to be more than min ilvl. I have to be min and people have to be doing foolish stuff. Tank pulling big with non aoe classes, when they can hold hate, and dps is super slow. Tbh, I can't think of a time when it (sleep) was really useful to me as far as damage mitigation.

Like I said, Holy helps for dpsing longer, and I'll heavy things like True Heart, but it's not a must.

I've only ever encountered it once. The BLM from my FC AoE-sleep'd a pack of mobs to prevent an over-pull with an undergeared, struggling healer, because I'd derped and messed up mob positioning in a dungeon.

In general, CC isn't that helpful. Stunning mobs works as a decent interrupt, but it's almost never a "STUN OR DIE" situation (outside of one of the attacks in A7).
