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

[pigsflew]

I'm a PLD and I'll admit it took me longer than it should have to learn this lesson. I'd gotten so used to Expert Dungeons in Shire Gear that i expected to be able to pull large and oathdance like it's a disco party, but that shit doesn't fly at level.

However, my opinion has always been that if I've pulled large, and we die, *it is my fault*. I'm the one who brought more enemies than we could handle. I hold that healer is, and has always been, the hardest job, and it doesn't require a bad healer to wipe on a too-large trash pull or poorly handled mechanic. I've played as WHM, at 60, fully geared, and even overleveled, there's just a lot more to pay attention to.

So yeah, I've learned to pull small, but I expect that a lot of tanks are just coming into this content and have learned to pull large because it used to work for them.

I would love to introduce you to one of my healer friends who pulls more if he is bored and forces you to have to take them all from him or he will die(he only does it with friends though). Which comes back to knowing the people you run with, and knowing the type of crap they will pull.
