Dear Tanks

[virgil204]

Dear Mhaeric

Thank you for your thoughtful and constructive comment.

However I want to dispel the notion of what tanks and groups should do before the start of the dungeon.

Which is check gear of said players and group make up and adjust according.

I am very so sorry to inform you that I have played this game since Alpha of ARR and not 1 tank or healer I have ever come across has ever changed play style upon group or tank gear or make up.

It's is simply false and you know it

People just run forward and start killing things.

It's not to be unexpected. It's duty roulette. it's a group of random strangers you are never going to see again in a dungeon you've done over 100 times.

sorry if you want to start talking about what actually happens in game I will be more than happy to continue conversing with you. However if you want to pretend that people consider varying factors. I will just remain silent. Either way is fine by me

Erm... SAM is an AoE beast if played well... and melee dodging aoe's is not that hard. It's why melee attacks are mostly instant. SAM do have that occasional cast time one, but it's not that long of a cast time.



Casters are laughing at this statement.

let them laugh

excuse me telling me running from does which are exploding every 1 sec isn't hard true.

However you're constantly running away. Hence your constantly not doing dps. No it's not hard but you spend a lot of time away from the mob so it's bad. simple

FWIW, I'm getting the impression that you are someone who bought a level 60 potion and as a result now know everything there is to know about the game. That's the attitude that you're choosing to display at least.

silly statement.

I have played FFXI since it was released in EURO
I have played WOW since it was released in EURO
I have played FFXIV version 1
I have played FFXIV ARR since it was released in EURO

so your assumption that I bought a level 60 potion is completely wrong.
It's so wrong it says a lot about your other statements which are also completely wrong

your interpretation of human attitudes is warped.

I find this similar misguided interpretation of human attitudes very common with people who live on the internet

Oh it's the latest thing, Pull boss 1 to boss 2 and so on. Why I use RDM to cap my tomes these days and heal mostly with FC.

Don't run away. Run to the side. Find the gaps. Melee range has a 5 yalm reach, which is larger than would be expected. The GCD is ~2.5s. Combined, that's quite a large distance that needs to be covered to prevent being able to use a weaponskill on every gcd. It's extremely rare in trash pulls for there to be anything large enough to warrant running out of range long enough to lose even part of a gcd. Toads are the only thing that really comes to mind.

Troll confirmed. Ciao!

I am that healer, and I ask tanks to pull everything because I'm bored outta my mind otherwise. Just pop your CDs competently and go be brave!

I feel you there , I came to a point I start to ask the same thing...the monotony is real.

Sorry I just don't feel like having a 30-minute run of Skalla...

I had that last night... The other DPS and healer kept dying on boss fights too (because mechanics, no issues on trash). After it became clear he wasn't going to pull more than one pack at the start of the dungeon, I decided if he can do bare minimum, I would too to make it less boring. So my new rule is if the tank pulls single packs, I don't use any enmity abilities on BLM. Going to make him work for enmity if he's going to make me work to stay awake.

Troll confirmed. Ciao!

typical. As suspected.

anyone who disagrees with me is a troll.

Point confirmed. Another warped internet community member

in real life people who disagree with politely with you are called discussion partners on the internet what you do is hide your head in the sand and call them trolls

As for my join date. Please ladies and gentlemen stop using join dates as undeniable proof of how long a person has been playing a game.

I have used this trick to fool so many people in Internet forums is just getting boring.

I had a pc account which I lost which had a level 60 nin and level 60 drk

i.e I played ARR and Heavensward on it.
please can we stop talking about behaviour patterns that no one does in game

We know they don't exist

we know we don't do them

We know no one else does

However when we try and have a conversation on the forums about dungeon behaviour
these behaviour patterns are the focus point of the discussion.

It makes no sense
