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

[Chiapet]

I dunno, my friends and I did mass pulls in every dungeon while leveling and had no issues at all. Nothing hit harder than usual, tank held everything without issue, and things died quickly. My tank friend was also in STR right side sooo... I dunno what to tell you guys. :|

This can be simply what type of tank you had and how they play. I've leved almost two healer classes.. there can easily be a night and day difference between some dark knights. Some are easy to heal and some dark knights make me want to vomit with stress.

So you're saying it's a player skill issue. That's basically what it boils down to in all of these threads.

It's always a matter of player skill. I would not call any of the content we have currently in SB (as of 4.01) to be difficult. But the other people in the group often make it difficult, be it by not doing mechanics or not knowing how to play their job to a competent degree. Tanks who don't properly use cooldowns on trash mobs, for example, or AST who don't ever use cards, or my current irritation: BRDs who refuse to play songs for whatever reason. Those all reduce group efficiency and survivability.

If everyone was performing at even an adequate level by doing mostly proper rotations or using most of the tools available--not even maximizing DPS or anything--then we wouldn't have these threads. I know it makes me sound like an elitist, but I don't think asking people to become better players by reading tooltips and thinking for ten seconds before a pull is too much to ask.
