    Speed Running Leveling Roulette

    So, what's your thoughts on this?

    I mean, ideally, I'm all for getting things done a quickly as possible, and in Every other Roulette perhaps but, I find this fairly easy to do and with proper cool down management, it's generally not too much strain on healers, and most can even throw in dps.

    Though leveling roulette I have a different mentality. For one most players aren't meeting max item level, or have maximized rotations, or optimized, you don't necessarily have your entire toolkit. On three occassions while leveling my Astro through Dusk Vigil and the Aery, I had folks pull Everything til the boss's door.

    This pretty much left me Benefic II spaming the entire time, and using every trick in the book to keep their plummeting health total from reaching zero... and a few times it got very close. Add in that DPS isn't optimized, and found myself having to uses mp refresh halfway into his pulls just to keep up, and at times, taking Bole in favor of DPS buffs because of the tank's seeming carelessness.

    Now I main tank.. and I get that folks are just getting their WT/Relic requirements in.. but just seems like that particularly environment isn't really conducive to pull all things speed runs.

    I suppose when I tank a leveling, I tend to do 2 groups at a time, knowing I'm wearing optimum gear. Seems a fair amount for the content, and gives me a feel for how well everyone is keeping up.
