Please stop Ready Checking in front of the bosses

[Ashelia_Ferron]

That's what tanks supposed to do in daily dungeons.

I'll be sure to do the slowest dungeon pull ever if I see you in DF then.

Tanks can do what they want in regards to pulls. You don't control the run. If you want super fast runs make your own party.

God forbid I take 20 seconds extra to do the dungeon just so you can AFK in Idyllshire when you're out.

Just so you all know, you are all arguing with the same person who advocated overwriting Storm's Eye many threads ago.

Also the person who open claims will run Samurai as a DPS if it ends up being tank role because party composition and needs be darned vs their desires.

[bounddreamer]

Nope. Gonna ready check to make sure y'all are ready, then start the countdown.

[SessionZero]

Making tanks think that readychecks are annoying as a blanket statement could lead to more pulls in 24 mans before the alliances are ready as well as the un-optimized DPS output in trials and raids where damage output can make or break the attempt.

I wouldn't worry about it. I guarantee none of us tanks are taking this thread seriously.

This thread really surpassed my expectations, thanks for the free humor!

On topic though: Let tanks ready check. If you don't like the 20 seconds then queue as a tank yourself so you can speedrun whatever casual content you so choose.

Was so confused by the OP until I read through the first 2 pages. Just so everyone who's just reading the OP is aware, they mean in dungeons - IE once you finish a trash pack and everyone runs to the boss the tank shouldn't need to stop to ready check.

I agree with this, and I personally treat the entire dungeon as one big pull (unless someone says 'afk 1 sec' or s/t). This probably stems from my experience with AK/WP/Brayflox HM speedruns and leveling MNK, though I've always felt as a general rule that ready checking in dungeons was pretty pointless. I used to do it on the last boss just to make sure everyone's finished the CS, but now I just check the party list and pull when I see everybody's around.

That all said, I think that tanks that do ready check aren't that big of a deal. You lose some damage as MNK and NIN (as well as some other jobs like SMN depending on what happened in the last pull) and you lose some time by waiting on the ready check to finish, but that's about it. Not the end of the world or anything, though obv it's preferable if they just pull.

I seriously hope I never get OP in my party. As a former ninja main, I felt like committing seppuku while I was reading their comments and replies.

Except for the followup where they specifically said it includes 24 players raids as well. It's not just dungeons.

Man, so much of that classic tank 'personality' in here. I bet most of you are the sort who have a proper fit and quit if a DPS goes and pulls a few more mobs over.

[Dualgunner]

Got it, I'll ready check spam 5 times before every trash mob just for you OP.

That said, I'm of the sentiment countdown is nice but its a complement to RC, not a replacement. This from the PoV of a tank and a ninja.
