Anyone Else Find Sprint No Longer Using TP Making Tanks Even Worse?

[Dualgunner]

What exactly were you typing that took so long he got far enough to have enough adds to mulch him? Was it important or relevant to the dungeon/your abilities in the dungeon?

Pulling big probably won't ever change given the way this game works. Now that sprint is free, I like when tanks sprint because we should all sprint and be done with the dungeon sooner.

Sprinting with a pull also means less time in transition and more time keeping aggro while dps go to town.

Just before the boss I changed my fairy to Selene. After the boss I was changing my fairy back to Eos. The tank asked if he could chain pull and I said yes and I quickly explained that I was changing fairy because I didn't need the extra heals on bosses. Fairly often tanks think I switch back to Eos assuming I'm uncomfortable with chain pulling, when in fact I switch to Selene to make boss killing a bit faster. As I was typing "just changing fairys as I don't need the extra heals on bosses" he pulled. While sprinting on auto-run I managed to type "stay in range though" he continued as if I said nothing, at that point he had less than 50% hp.

Well for that one I'd blame you and not the tank since you've said yes. Sure after you've told him to wait for pet switching but a tank won't always spend his pulling time reading chat while pulling especialy if they asked you if they could pull and you said YES.

If it was all said in 1 single sentence your tank would probably had waited for you to pet switch.

I mean what do you want more from your tank then asking you if your confortable with a situation ?

If done correctly. :3 The amount of times I've been with PLDs that Sprint-Flash mob packs...but flash misses half of them and they eventually turn around to take out the healer when they try to heal the dying, Sprinting tank. Always a fun run when that happens.

I personally don't care if tanks Sprint or not. So long as they don't decide to Sprint ahead with a few half-dead mobs chasing after them when I'm rolling a melee DPS. :v Not sure which I like better: Sprint-Flashing PLDs or tanks that see "oh, these two mobs still have about 30% health left; let me Sprint off to grab more for my two melee DPS."

You make this game sound like it's not fun. lol

Lol

I wouldn't say the game isn't fun, but the endless repetition becomes grating after a while. Being in and out faster helps with that a bit.

Ever heard of "It's the Journey, not the Destination"?


The journey is supposed to be fun too, and I dunno about you, sure maybe you get bored easily, but not everybody has a short attention span. But then again, I don't RUSHRUSHRUSH the content as soon as it is made available like a starving dog in a cage drooling over a steak either.

I do my daily roulettes and really the extra 5-10 minutes doesn't bother me whatsoever. If we get a slow group we get a slow group. Oh well. In fact, when I'm on my healer and the tank single-pulls, I love it. I can throw extra DPS and have a little fun. Sure beats Cure2 spam anyday. I can throw aeros, and stones and maybe a holy or three... it's a nice change-of-pace. Sure, it might take 5 or so minutes longer to do the dungeon, sure I might need to recast Protect as we're approaching the last boss of, say, Ala Mihgo or something but it doesn't bother me.

Partly because I don't spam dungeons non-stop and I don't try to rush to be first to endgame, lol.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't rush, but honestly if you do and then complain the game is boring, maybe you're just doing it wrong? It sounds like you are bringing a lot of it upon yourself. It isn't kosher to complain about a perceived problem that you cause yourself and then try to force everybody to tend to your needs despite what they might enjoy.

Ever heard that taking longer to do menial tasks, reducing the time available for enjoyable activities, is... less fun than the opposite? You're equating movement time and taking damage before any proper AoE or mitigation can be done to a "journey"...

Journeys, too, often take advantage of common sense in order to be (a) doable and (b) enjoyable. They don't refute the idea of using a car in order to get to your mountain hike...

TL;DR "Play the way I do or you're doing it wrong and I look down on you for it"

How many times can the same journey be made before the journey starts to matter very little?

[Nowakii]

Yep happened to me a a few times, i was cheking loot after the boss, and the tank just decided to sprint all the way to next gate, by the time i got there it was too late, and im like "you know... i wasnt even there......"
