    50 or 60 dungeons I enjoy mass pulls. 2 pulls is always really easy but 3 & 4 is where it gets fun & I actually have to use my CDs. But if no CDs or largely undergeared I am hesitant. Because I know I'll probably eat the blame if we wipe even if I am doing the best I can.

    In general, I'm partial to large pulls. Concerning gear, as long as the tank has at least level appropriate tanking gear from a vendor, I don't really care.

    IMO, it's not really the healer's call to determine the size of the pull, but there is no excuse for a tank wearing a mix of underleveled tank, dps, and castor gear because it's "all they got".

    Healing is a snooze job for me as SCH. Half the time I'm al so falling asleep doing it (which is why I usually pass on healing). So I would say yea it is almost nice when I actually have to try hard to keep peeps alive. But I wouldn't want that kind of stress all the time XD.

    Generally the 2nd, because I don't especially enjoy the dungeons themselves. But if it's been nothing but Cleric all week, an occasional break, through more difficulty, is nice.

    I prefer to melt everything down right alongside the DPS if the tank can rotate their cool-downs appropriately.

    I enjoy healing when it is necessary, but I also enjoy making the run quicker by chucking out DPS, otherwise you just sort of stand there sucking your thumb and that's no fun.

    For most content, Selene does all the healing for me, so most of the time I just DPS full time apart from maybe pumping out an Adlo or Succor.

    If the Tank is undergeared but is willing to do huge pulls, I don't really mind so long as the DPS can kill things quick enough if I don't really have a moment to spare to go into CS otherwise tank immediately dies.

    I'm always down for big pulls but I like to also consider that the rest of my party is able to keep up in sync to handle the big pulls as well.

    Doesn't matter to me honestly. Sure I'd prefer to finish faster, which means option B, but at the end of the day I enjoy playing regardless. Normally when I enter an instance I simply greet everyone and tell the tank that big pulls are fine. From there I leave it up to them.

    I prefer option B myself, but that's because I like to contribute DPS to the group.

    When I'm DPS (SMN), I do like to bring along Physick and the lovely Swiftcast/Raise combo to help the Healer if need be. I can self heal so the Healer can focus elsewhere most of the time, and Swiftcast/Raise is very lovely to have in a pinch.

    I prefer an undergeared tank to pull to their gear's ability, not stress me out trying to keep them healed when they pull way too much. Sometimes I can blow every CD and they still die. But I'm getting weary of the mass pulling pattern in dungeons anyway and I hope SE puts things farther apart or behind gates more in Stormblood. I liked someone else's idea about less trash and more minibosses, too.

    As a Healer and a Tank could be ...

    This may sound weird but could be both. When I play as a healer I see a tanks gear and so forth. Being I play as a Tank I look at the healers set up and sometimes ask. I pull first group to gauge Healing and DPS. If DPS is on the low side I play it safe and do about 1-2 groups depending on dungeon. last thing I want to do is blame my healer for low DPS. You truly don't know how to tank or heal unless you have been on both sides of the coin.
