I'll be honest... I capped my last battle class last May...
In terms of pulling vs roaming...
Roaming is faster (And therefore, more efficient) but also more dangerous....
Pulling is safer but slower....
So if you can get away with roaming safely... then do it

yes roaming is still safer (better) for 1 reason....
even against MOBs 5+ levels higher than you, multiple MOBs doesn't automatically equal "wipe" the way a bad pull did in FFXI

#1... you don't solo Mobs 9 ranks higher than you
If you're in a party... that is what the healer is for.... 350 is not that big a hit for a 40+ Glad
