And now healers dont even have any aoe anyway sense blizzard 2 is removed from cross role so might as well give them something to do.
    When did I say anything about healers needing an AoE? The whole point is: If your party doesnt has decent AoE and you do a large pull, it actually requires the healer to pay attention to healing - in dungeons that are so easy that its not needed at all. As a scholar I never leave Cleric Stance once in any dungeon prior to Brayflox and am essiantially a third dps - speeds dungeons up quite a bit. I cant do that if a tank goes for a large pull though, so unless there is good AoE that kills a lot of mob at once, its basically the loss of a Dps.
    The benefit of large pulls is obviously that more mobs are taking damage from the same attack (AoEs) - if there is no such thing as decent AoE present in your party and everyone has to focus one mob at a time anyways, you gain nothing from a large pull, because, again: your dps can only attack one mob at a time. Wether the group of mobs contains 3 or 6 mobs doesnt matter when your two melees can only burn on at a time - it does matter to your healer wether they have to heal through 3 mobs (and have time to dps) or 6 mobs (less or no time to dps, depending on dungeon and gear of the tank).

    And btw... I did a TamTara-run earlier. Took about 17 minutes. Two new people, no big pulls, no AoEs at our disposal, but a healer (me) constantly dps'ing - lets not pretend that its (only) big pulls that speed up a dungeon. Sometimes normal pulls are the smart move - specially when there is no AoE present.

    But Ive mention yes thats true I do the samething on my scholar as well , but if the tank is doing enough aoe then I dont see the issue here. Unleash is an aoe overpower is an aoe, so on a drk u can make up for the lack of party aoe. Same thing for the warrior , overpower is more than enough in a lowbie dungeon to make up for some dps not having any aoe. And we both know alot of healers simply just dont dps even in low level dungeons so if alll they are gona do is spam cure 1 then I will give them something to heal.

    I think both methods work but I just find it very boring to pull two adds at a time when you can pull six or seven at a time. And until someone states that its an issue I will continue to do so when I get in a dungeon its how fast can I get out of here and big pulls have always helped me out, when Im healing and a tank does 3 add pulls even when Im dpsing it always seems to take 30 mins still and is pretty boring. But hopefully with cleric changing it will help these dungeons go by faster than ever heres to keeping those fingers crossed
