Sprinting while gathering adds minimized the auto attack damage they take, meaning they aren't starting at 50% health when they have everything gathered.

I mean...not always. I've had more than my fair share of tanks running off and pulling everything. Only to be at 50% or less when I can actually start healing. Lord knows the second I think about healing while they are pulling everything something will come hit me in the face.
Honestly, if the tank didn't notice the healer with him, then it's his bad entirely. Not running off without the healer seems pretty common sense to me. Probably best to make sure everyone is with you before pulling everything. Including DPS, because lord knows I can''t be spamming my big heal forever.
With soooo many changes going on now both healers and tanks are. As a healer if MP is the problem is rare that they speak up, however it's up to us tanks to gauge our dps and amount pulled. There are some really good healers out there and want full pulls and while others may not feel ok with it they still stay quite. Some players don't like to spend more than 20 min on a run ( God knows I don't ) however if a person at least lets me know that they don't feel comfortable with large pulls I can accommodate. The Sprint function is a bonus for us tanks, dps,and as a healer if tehy can incorporate it it's Gods gift to healers in a pinch.
if everyone isn't using sprint than there is a problem.
Rule of thumb: Always check to make sure the group is behind you before charging ahead. I learned this on day 1 of tanking. Yet i'm surprised how whenever i heal this gets forgotten, and i can't even look at loot before they nyoom off 3 rooms away.



This didn't change anything for me, since I've always used Sprint anyway. Especially on DRK, for I used no TP on big pulls whatsoever. But I did Sprint on WAR and PLD as well, so.
I hate this too OP. If you look away just for a second and they sprint off you can't sprint to catch up anymore because well... now you're running at the same speed....

Not going to lie here,
I think it is funny when the tank sprints off, leaves the group behind then either dies or really has to saved. I don't even mind if it wipes us and we get to do it again. Sprint all you want, I don't play to be in a rush. I will do what I can to keep you alive, but that is it. I have had them sprint off before my screen loaded up for the next room. Then he/she got mad. Blame the internet! LoL
The point - sprint if you can while you watch the group. If the tank or healer or even dps is just leaving the rest of the group... Well, crap happens.![]()
I still want to know what everyone is doing with that extra 5 to 10 minutes they got from rushing. Must be some kind of serious secret... or maybe they just think they can so why not? Heck, I don't know, but it is still funny.




A good tank should do this, however, a good tank will also apologize if the healer wasn't ready.




No, because I'm ALWAYS keeping an eye on the tank. It's literally a healers job.
If I see them sprint, I sprint.
