Large pulls VS Small pulls... in leveling dungeons?

But THATS the reason why everyone is having this issue. The meta is WRONG. Look at the thread, SE is finally taking a stand against the speed runners and told them to STOP. How? By making things hit harder and punishing you for trying to heal/tank like you did in HW. This is good and hopefully people wake the fuck up instead of running in these dungeons like they are superman.

Except "STR meta" isn't that relevant to this topic. "Speedrunning meta" isn't the same thing. I'm pretty sure tanks running with VIT accessories are still getting wrecked for speedrunning leveling dungeons. Any tank just wearing STR accessories while pulling everything in leveling dungeons is either someone who just cares about big numbers and doesn't care about the healer and/or a sheep who follows the meta blindly, considering how hard trash hits. Honestly though, it was really stupid for SE to change something that was working, for a tangential reason (brink of death).

If SE really wants people to stop speed running all they need to do is put gates between each pack of mobs.

I think it really depends on the party but in pugs I think smaller pulls are better. Caster LB helps a ton with larger pulls though, and it is possible to be more efficient with larger pulls, but you need good AoE DPS, a good tank and a good healer.

Well either way the change they made I feel is the best change. And it still means people need to wake up and actually change instead of doing the same thing hoping it'll work this time when it will never work the same again.
